officials Of the company met in conference
to-day to talk over certain grievances
which the men submitted to the company
on Saturday. The employees demand a
shorter workday and 20 cents an hour for
every hour worked. President Rigg said
he wanted to be fair with the men, but
their demands were too sweeping and the
company could not afford to grant them.

men 16 cents an hour. but no reduction in
the hours of labor. The conductors and
motormen refused to accept this offer. and
gave the company until Thursday 20 de-
eide whether or not the original demands
would be granted. After the conference
President Rigg declined to talk. but it is
understood he will not grant the demands
and strike is likely to follow.
