NEW YORK. April 13.-The grievance
committee of the employees of the Central
railroad of New Jersey and representatives
of She company renewed their conference
at the office of General Superintendent
OliIausen. in COmmunipaw, today. The
same delegates that were present on the
two previous days were in attendance this
morning, while the company was repre-
scented. as before by Mr.. OIhausen and Di-
vision Superintendent Wentz.
One of the delegates representing the en-

1t was hoped to get through with the en-
gineers' schedule before the day was over,
but he could not say positively whether
this would be accomplished or not.
The offer made by the company yesterday
to add 10000 to the pay roll of the en-
gineers and fremeu. will result in some
close figuring on the part of the men. 1t
Is said that the only way that an equitable
division Of this sum can be made Is by
some of the higher-paid men accepting a
reduction Some of the engineers, those
in the Mauch Chunk run. make $40 a
day. while the great majority of the men,
those on the short runs, earn from s3.25 to

To make a fair division OF the additional
amount the company proposed TO give, 1t Is
said, will necessitate the pairing down of
the pay Of the men on the long runs and
Increasing the wages of the men on the
short runs.
There Is a strong probability that the
coming conference between representatives
of the employees and officials of the Gen.
tral railroad Of New Jersey will reach an
agreement by tonight as to the wage sched-
ule of the engineers and firemen. The par
