AWAITING A CONFERENCE
The Jersey Central Railroad Stu
ation Approaches a Crisis.

An Immediate Order to Strike May
Follow vice President Warren's
Refusal to Consider Grievances.
Ia.,or Leaders Session Continued.
NEW YORK. April 6.-The crisis in
the troubles between the employees Of
the Central Railroad Of New Jersey
and the management is expected to be
reached this afternoon.
Tire conferences held by the repre-
sentatfves of the employees and the five
big chiefs OF the railroad mems organ
i2ations in this country. was continued
today at the Grand Union Hotel
II was noticeable that the number OF
delegates from the employees was far
in excess OF that Of yesterday. While
the representatives yesterday were
nearly all from the Jersey division of
the road, there were present today men
who represented all divisions. The men
from the Pennsylvania section were
particularly in evidence.
Should c Il. Warren, Vice President
and General Manager of the Central,
refuse a conference with committee
of his employees as requested. or should
he ignore the letter requesting him 10
fix 4 date for such conference. a strike
may be ordered at once. Should he &C
cade TO the request for a conference,
there Will be a further delay and the
possibility of strike will be Iessened-
Nothing viii be done without the ad-
vice of Arthur. Sargent, Morrissey,
Dalton. and Clark. representing the ma
IionaI associations of the engineers,
1i-emen, trainmen, telegraplers, and
conductors.
They al declare that they are strong
" opposed to a strike and that none
VIII be ordered until every possible
means OF effecting a settlement has
neea exhausted. AT the same time they
declare that they viii work together
ana that all classes Of workmen must be
satisfied or else q general strike viii be
ordered.
Vice President Warren has not been
asked TO confer with the heads of the
various organizations He has been
asked 70 meet a committee of his OWE
employees to discuss grievances. Such
conferences have been held frequently
during the past i've or six months and
various propositions have been made
and rejected by each side.
There are $500 employees OF the Jer-
sey- Central ana Of these at least 1000
are dissatisfied with the pay they are
receiving and the hours they are asked
TO work Concessions were made to
The 400 conductors three months ago
that satisfied them, but they viii go out
on strike # other classes Of workers quit
work. When the conductors accepted
their scale they stipulated that they
would not be required TO work if other
employees quit in 4 body.

NC WORD FROM WHITEHALL
General CIay's Son Unable to Sc
cure Information.

Fears That The Aged Man May Have
Been Severely Wounded in the En-
counter With Sheriff CoIyer-shut
Up at Present ia His Mansion.
LEXINGTON. Ky, April although
many enquiries have been made, no word
has yet been received from whitehall as
to whether or not General Clay was
wounded in the encounter with Sheriff
CoIyer and his deputies yesterday. Bru-
tus Clay, who IS himself afraid to so to
his fathers house. has been endeavoring
to secure permission to visit the aged gen
eraI and discover whether or not he IS
in need OF medical attention
He went TO the home Of q neighbor, R
c. Moore. this morning. intending to send
jim BoIin as an envoy TO the general 5
residence. Up to a late hour he had not
secured his fathers permission to visit
Whitehall The story that BcIin had run
away after the generals fight with the
sheriff because he did not assist the aged
warrior is denied by BoIin, who declares
that he is still a warm friend Of General
Clay.
Mrs NJ b Clay has been induced to
withdraw writ Of delivery for her fur
riture and Sheriff Colyer viii have no &C
CaSiOn 90 revisit ~ lllGilau Tor the DLE-
pose of claiming it.
The sheriff believes that General Clay
was wounded during the fight with the
officers. He says that the lives Of his
deputies and his own were endangered
by General Clay and that the last Two
shots returned by him were intended 10
take effect.
General Clay, his neighbors say. is in
one Of his most threatening moods and II
is dangerous for his nearest friends to
approach him. A telephone message from
Fostown says that not human being
has yet ventured within the gates Of
Whitehall Mansion.
