STRIKE STILL UNLIKELY.
JERSEY CENTRAL OFFICIALS AND EN-
PLOYES CONTINUE THEIR
CONFERENCES

The conference between the men of the Central
Railroad Of NewJersey and the officials of the
company was resumed yesterday morning at the
office OF General Superintendent Olhausen, at
Communipaw. At the close of the meeting no
compromise had been reached though all We're
hopeful that an amicable settlement would final
ly be made. The conference will be continued
to-day If all the points which were considered
yesterday can be settled before tonight, all will
be we'll Otherwise it is believed that the nego-
hations will drag into next week.
Every effort was made yesterday to effect
compromise between the figures presented by
the company and those demanded by the men.
superintendent Olhausen and Wentz speaking
for the company, took the ground that the ex
listing scale OF wages equitable and should
be adhered to. The men denied this, and framed
their demands in substance as follows:
On all passenger runs of short length. like from
nersey Guy to Newark pay to be So per hundred
on runs agGregating less than one hundred miles.
On long distance runs like those to Mauch Chunk
and Philadelphia pay to be So 40 per hundred miles
Other passenger runs, s9 so per hundred miles
Of using hnn9red miles m the basis of caeula
ton. and the substitution of the mile as the unit
Superintendent Olhausen then said that the
company was prepared to pay an additional
$4,000 to it's engineers and firemen who were on
last years payroll. This places the responsible
ity of dividing the increase of pay upon the men
themselves. To make the division equitable the
wages of some of the engineers must be
duced.
The demands of the trainmen and telegraphers,
according to agreement. will not be touched
upon until those of the engineers have been
disposed Of At the main Office of the COM
pany yesterday comparative statistics were
shown which seemed to indicate that the teleg
raphers of the Central Railroad of New-Jersey
Company were more generously paid than the
telegraphers of other companies. The meeting
adjourned until to-day. amid every evidence of
good feeling between the delegates and officials
According trustworthy information. the Jer
sey Central directors yesterday considered the
attitude of the dissatisfied employees and gave
General Manager Warren practical control of
all matters connected with the present differ
ences.
A rumor to the effect that word had been re-
ceived from j. p Morgan, now in London, that
there must be strike on the system was de-
MED at the local office.
