fore the Employees of the shops.
Washington, May 29.-Vice President
Cannon of the Southern Railway to-day
said that so far none of the machinists
of that system had stopped work ex-
cept those at Charleston and that he
had taken no steps to fill the places of
the Charleston men, thinking it probable
they would return to work.
Mr., Cannon has sent out a notice to
be posted on the doors of the machine
shops of the line giving some of the de-
tails of his conference Monday with the
committee representing the machinists
and explaining the difficulties which de-
veloped over 9-hour day Referring 20
the threat to close the shops, MIR. Gan
ron says in his circular:
THE management, believing in the in
telligence and honesty OF purpose of the
shopmen, has no fear as to what action
they will take under such circumstances
The unrea sonable action of the misguided
committeeman, who seemed to think that
they should present the dictates of an
outside organization rather than the
views and wishes of our men, has possi-
bly, put the matter In such shape as to
lead to a misunderstanding. This com
munication is sent to you to guard
against such a result. The proceedings OF
the meeting will be sent you tomorrow
and If, after reading them, you consider
1t desirable to have another meeting it
will be my pleasure to so arrange"
