judgment was allowed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company in favor of Frank Sup

M~ACHINIsTS ARE BUSY.
Mr.. Garstang VIII Give Answer To-
Day-Mass Meeting Tonight.

Committees representing the Machinists'
Union were busy yesterday, endeavoring
TO get firms to sign the new scale or ad-
vance negotiations that will avoid a strike
Monday. 1t is estimated that firms en-
ploying about half of the machinists In
the city have signed the scale calling for
an increase of 12ls per cent. and a nine
hour day
This afternoon William Garstang. super
%intendent of motive power of the Big Four,
will submit a compromise proposition to
the union, which grants the nine-hour day,
but not all of the increase demanded. Mr..
Garstang says the demand for l2l2 per
cent. seems considerably higher than the
company Is able to pay. He was authorized
to make the offer to the machinistS after
a meeting with the head officials OF the
road yesterday.
Tonight the union will hold a mass
meeting in Germania Hall to canvass the
situation and take final action regard
ing a strike Monday. AT the meeting the
various committees will report the settle
ments they have accomplished, II any, or
the progress Of negotiations under way,
and the union will decide upon the merits
of each case. Where it is thought neces-
sary TO carry out the order of President
O'Connell the word to strike will be given.
l. The Sinker-Davis Company, employing
about twenty-five machinists, yesterday
signed the agreement granting all the de-
mandG of the machinists.
