CONDUCTORS ARE MAKING KICK
Proposed Reduction of Salary Causes
Trouble.

A committee of conductors and
brskemen of the Fourth division of
the 81 aboard Airline will meet TODAY
with Division Superintendent W. r.
Hudson, relative to a disagreement
now existing between these employees
and the superintendent. This is the re
suit of an order issued by the superin-
tendent last week, IN which he refuses
to allow the present salary of the con-
ductors, S75 a month, unless twenty
SIX trips be made during the month,
and datss the order as effective Feb. /.
The conductors claim that this order
violates a contrac! they made some
eight months ago with General Man
ager j. NJ. Barr, which fixed their
salary at So a month when they
should make the trips called on for,
aud further provided that no change
should be made in this contract with
out first giving them due notice. The
order of Supt. Hudson would mean,
| says representative of the conductors
and brakemen, practical reduction in
salaries all round, as it is impossible
/ for the men to make twenty-six trips 8
month, as their runs now often take
eighteen hours, a distinct violation Of
the law governing this matter, which
prescribes that the men shall not work
more that thirteen hours continuously.
