Superintendent.
4 SCHEDULE.
Ask Arbitration of Grievances
in Case of Disagreement.
Illinois and Iowa Engineers Ask
Re-arrangement of Runs.

Chicago, April ga departure in the
method of settling labor difficulties
was made when a committee of ma
chinists, acting for the International
Association of Machinists, called on
William Renshaw, superintendent of
machinery of the Illinois Central Rail-
road company. and presented griev-
ances. The committee went as a body
of employees, thus avoiding a discussion
as to the status OF a committee of the
association, and met RenshaW as a rep
resentative of the company itself. The
conference was arranged early today
in the absence of Second Vice President
HaraEan. who left for Omaha last
night. When the machinists had made
their preSentment, Mr. RenShaW asked
for further time, and it was arranged
that another conference should be held
tomorrow. The committee said it would
be willing to make notifications to
reach an agreement, and Mr.. RenShaW
intimated that he could see no reason
why an amicable understanding should
not be had. The proposed agreement
fixes the term of apprenticeship at four
years, the apprentices to be employed
at ages of from 16 to 81 years, the boys
to be able to read and write and pos
sess a. fair knowledge of arithmetic.
Every apprentice is to be taught all
branches of the trade and not more
than one to every five jOurneymen is
to be employed in any one shop, nor
time during the first three years of his
term. It is provided that the minimum
pay for machinists shall be 80 cents an
hour, that nine hours shall constitute q
days work, As cents for over time and
90 cents if the over tine reaches 16
hours in a day. Holidays are to be
paid at double rates If the men are at
work The machinists sent away on
the road shall be paid time and a half
or double time in like proportion as
we'll as all their travelling expenses.
Free transportation is demanded for
the men and it is further stipulated
that applicants for employment shall |
not be required to file applications !
other than to establish ability as ma
chinists.'
The agreement provides for arbitra- /
ton, with the superintendent of motive /
power and a committee of machinists /
to act as a subordinate court, with ap-
peal to the general manager and the |
general officers of the International As
ISOLATION of Machinists. All grievances
must be acted upon within five days
after notice is given, and pending a set
Element there shall be no lockout or
strike. The agreement is TO exist one
one year, and unless abrogated within
30 days of expiration, to exist for an
other year.
A committee representing Illinois
Central engineers from Illinois and
Iowa division called upon Superintend-
ant RenshaW today for the purpose of
discussing the question of runs. The
men asked that the runs be arranged
so that the men could spend as much
time as possible at their homes. Mr..
RenshaW promised to give the matter
immediate attention
