Railway Men of Cincinnati
Were Met.
ANIcABLE SETTLEMENT OF GRIEVANCES.
The Employees Requested Better

visement and the Result is that
Company md Men are Satisfied.

Cincinnati, June 1S.-The amicable
adjustment of the question of hours
between the Cincinnati Street Railway
CO. and its employees is quite in con-
trast to the conditions prevailing in
st. Louis just now. There has been no
strike, but the employees requested bet
ter hours and more pay for their labor.
The company took up these requests
In a busincss-like way, and an AMIGA
bic adjustment has been made. The
concessions made come in the nature
of q surprise to the men, who have at
all times acted with discretion and
have earned tL.e respect of President
KilEour and his board of directors by
their judicious behavior. Recently Mr..
Kilgour has been sending for the lead
ing conductors and motornien of the
various lines and offered them TWO
propositions, either of which he said
would be satisfactory to the company.
The first was a ten-hour- an-a-half
straight work day, without any relief
for meals. at the same pay as for II
hours-S2 a day.
The second proposition was IN elev
en-hour work day, with one-half hour
meal relief. at the same wages-$2 a
day.
Out of these propositions an agree
ment grew, the terms of which are
given in the following circular. issued
by the company to its employees, and
which has beer accepted by the men:
"The Cincinnati Street Railway CO.,
after carefully looking owe its bust
ness for the past fiscal year, terminal
ing Tune 90, 1900. and comparing it
with the year 1899, is satisfied that it
can, in justice to all parties in interest,
make an inc: ease to its conductors and
motormen in the matter of compensa-
ton. This increase will be in the form
a reduction of time of the working
hours. Whereas heretofore, and at the
present, the working hours have been
IL hours per day, and compensation
16 % cents per hour, with relief in
the middle of the day for dinner, and
in the evening for supper, from and
after June 90, 1900. the number Of
hours will be reduced to 1Ok hours,
making the compensation 10 cents per
hour.

forcements.

Walker says Gen. Methuen was fight

fortunate that, although direct tele-

the cutting of the telegraph wires.
there yet remains a channel open be-
tween the diplomats at Pekin and
their home governments, via overland
wire to Shanghai, and then by cable.

GIFTS TO COLLEGES.

1t is announced that two Chicago men
have given $50 600 apiece to the University
of Chicago within the past week, leaving
$500 900 to be raised by April LIST, the date
named by John D. Rockefeller as the ex
piration of his offer to give s2,0oo,oOo to
the institution on condition that AN equal
sum he contributed by others.
It is also announced by the president
of Wellesley College, Mass, that MI.
Rockefeller has promised to give that in
stitution 100000 when the college debt of
$1,000 shall have been raised.
An1rouncemen of this character are
getting to be so common at the North that
they create no surprise but they make
the friends of Southern colleges feel bit
enyious What a grand thing 1t would be
If some Standard OIL magnate would give
s., 0oOeoo to. the University of Virginia!
How proud Virginians would be if rich
endowments were made to Richmond Col
lege and Randolph Macon and Washington
and Lee and Hampden- Sidney. and the
rest of our noble institutions of learning.
Unfortunately we have no Standard OIL
.
magnates in Virginia and. therefore. no.
million dollar gifts to our institutions of
learning. But are the rich men in Vir-
ginia doing all that they could do in this
direction? Is it not possible to find a
number of men in Virginia who would
be willing to make up purse of 100000
for the University, and if Virginians
should raise such a sum for the, benefit OF
the University, is it not reasonable to
suppose that some of the milllonaires a
the North woula add literally to the fund?
There is an old saying that Providence
helps those who helps themselves. = and
we are inclined to the opinion that If Vir-.
ginians would take the initiative, in en-
downing their colleges, help from the out.
side would come in season.
