Engineers Dissatisfied With Motor
Car Schedule, but Their Demands
Refused.
New York, Aug. 5.-Vice President
Skitt of the Manhattan Elevated Rail-
way to-day gave to a committee rep
resenting the 500 engineers and motor
men of the road refusal of their re-
quest made two weeks ago for nine
hour day and other concessions.
When the company's reply became
known among the men there was inn
mediate. talk of strike. The commit
tee. after leaving Mr.. Skitt's office, sent
a message to P. NJ Arthur, grand
master of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, asking him to come at
once.
Chief jerks of District No los of the
brotherhood says of the grievances:
Since the introduction OF motor cars
in the service we have been compelled
to make six round trips daily, consum-
ing ten hours. On the engines we
never made more than five trips, and
four and half was the usual number
The company claims that the motor
cars being faster we should be able to
make the additional trip. They also
say that the strain on us in running
the electric trains is less. The first
statement may be true, but the second
is not. We are under just as great
strain as we would be on the engines.
We are willing TO make five trips a
day in nine hours and no more"

Several companies of soldiers who
were stationed at Brest have gone to
protect the police commissaries who
are expelling the sisters from the va

the explosions.
Able Gayraud, Catholic Republican
