Big FOUR MACHINISTS
THEIR COMMITTEE IN CONFERENCE
WITH RAILROAD OFFICIALS.
A Compromise that "SpIits the Differ
ence" Practically Agreed Upon
An Answer To-day.

Twelve machinists employed by the Big
Four Railroad met General Manager G. f.
Schaff, of Cincinnati. here yesterday at the
office of William Garstang, superintendent
of motive power, to discuss the wages and
working hours of $50 machnists employed
in the seven shops in this division. Assist
ing the negotiations was d. W. Roderick,
organizer of the Machinists' Interna-
tional Union, of Chicago. The negotiations
also involve 100 men employed in the Ur-
bana, ILL.,, shops. which are on the Peoria
& Eastern division, that division treating
such questions according to the decision of
the general manager.

has heretofore reserved the right TO judge
of the efficiency of the men who perform
their labOrs in that space of time.
The conference was conducted in the
most friendly manner and ended in the Off

Their proposition. il is understood, about

VACATIONS FOR CHILDREN
HELP ASKED By SOCIETY THAT
SENDS LITTLE ONES TO COUNTRY.
No Salaries Paid to and No Advertise
noting the Philanthropy.

The Young Peoples Children Outing
Organization. the first organization of any
kind to take up in indianapolis the
phianthropic work of giving poor children
the benefit of several weeks of country
life, with the fresh air and wholesome food
that accompanies it, has asked the pastors
of the city's churches to call attention to
the work of the society so that members
OF congregation, so disposed. may make
contributions to the fresh air fund of the
pioneer society, or could offer any other
help. The organization is made of men,
bers of the Epworth League. of the
Christian Endeavor of the German Epworth
League and Baptist Young Peoples Union.
Its work is under the direction of these
church societies in Indianapolis.
The work done by the organization during
the past few weeks is notable and hundreds
of children have been sent from the hot
streets of the city to cool country lanes at
an expense astonshingly insignificant.
The work of the society has been done
quietly, without any advertisement, and
although 1t has been hard pressed for
money at various times an immense
amount of good has been done on limited
resources. In 1900 the Epworth League
sent TO the country sixty-five children at
an expense of $63, or something less than
a
outing. During the summer of 1901 the
united societies, under the present organi-
zation. sent 925 children to the country at
the remarkably low cost of 1885, This
summer, with the assistance of churches
and business men, the organization ex-
poets to send out at least LOCO children.
The organization sees to ii that no money
is expended unless the expenditure is alb
solutely necessary. No salaries of any
kind are paid, all of the workers donating
their services. The expenses are the rail-
read fares and clothing. So widespread has
the knowledge of the organizations work
become that 400 homes in the country have
already been placed at the disposal of the
organization, where from one to four
children may be sent for a week. ten days
or two weeks. In addition, many cottages
at Acton Park have been offered to the
organization, where mothers and babies
may he sent during the hottest days of the
summer.
Pastors are asked to send contributions
TO Charles F. Igelmann, whose address is
the Parrott-Taggart Bakery, and all COM
munications to S. NJ. Hoff, superintendent
of the organization, whose address is 81
West Maryland street. The following COM
mittee has charge of the work this sum-
mer: the Rev. George S. Henninger.
Florence Lanham, G. F. Igelmann, j. f.
Neighbor, A. A. Spears. The officers Of the
organization and their addresses are: s.
NJ. Hoff. superintendent, 81 West Maryland
street; Mrs. David Ross, assistant superin-
tendent. 17l0 Broadway; Miss Bertha Neg
ley, secretary, 81 East ST. Joseph street;

Taggart Bakery.

who has had much practical experience In

II was stated during the meeting that
Representative Jesse Overstreet had said
a short time ago that $4,000 would, In all

G. w. Brown and the other members OF

Woodruff Place meeting. 1T seems TO
make certain the success of the PLAN said
Mr.. Brown. II feel confident that from
$4,000 10 $4,000 will be raised here in Wood
ruff Place and IL ought not be impossible TO
secure the rest of the money from the city

Mr.. Brown during the next few days will

well-known banker, who refused TO let his

So far $4,000 has been practically sub
scribed. The general committee is meeting
some trouble from the fact that number
of the wealthy men of the city are out of
town at this time.

OATS AND INDIGNATION.
Both Propositions Confronted the
Board of Public Safety

The Board of Public Safety met yester-
day to discuss the purchase of oats and
sundry other ordinary matters 1t was
hoped by a number of applicants for places
that the board would make up it's mind to
make certain appointments. These appli-
cants haunted the corridors and looked
furtively at the board while it was at work.
But no appointments were made.
Samples of oats lay on the table. Mr.
Schoppenhorst handled them with an ex-
perienced hand Mr. Keller looked at them
with an experienced eye.
Are these old or new oats?" asked Com
missioner Bryson.
"Old oats said President Keller, who is
descended from a long line of farmers.
1--WE ought TO have new oats" suggested
BrySOn.
Not till they've been cut in the fields. -
said Schoppenhorst.
You want a little avena saliva" said
Keller, who is druggist This drug is made
from green oats.
William Rouse & Son got the contract
for LOO bushels at 81 cents, which produced
a long whistle from competitor who
vowed that the oats could not be bought,
uncleaned, for less than SO cents.
Then the board discussed several trivial
matters until a negro, somewhat excited.
entered He Immediately attracted atten-
ton because of his peculiar eyes. They
seemed about to pop out of his head.
Il wants TO detraet a couple of policies, -
he said.
