In Railroad Business Every
where at Present.
The /. C's Earnings Said to Have
Fallen on Three Millions in
Three Months.
MANY MEN ARE LAID OFF

Mr.. Quincy p. Wallace, delegate
to the car builders conference OF
Jackson, Tenn, has returned from
Hazel, Ky, where he had been at
tending the bedside OF his wife, who
is now much better, and this morning
went to work in the local I. O. shops
again. He said in regard to the con-
ference:
I'VE got better contract this sea
son. but failed to get the raise we ex
pected. We got all that was in the
old contract and we're benefited BY
new clauses in the new contract. We
lost nothing in the conference and the
reason we did not get the raise we
asked was because of the fell ing of Of
business.
Mr.. Renshaw stated it is said tina
the business Of the road had fallen of
9 400, 900 the week before and in the
last three months the business had
fallen of 81, 900. 900.
The employees of the shops here
were not disappointed in the result Of
the conference, as they anticipated .
refusal Of the demands for raise, in
asmuch as the business of the road
was known to be falling off and cuts
in forces were being made the system
over.
The same decrease is found on all
the railroads. and some have laid of
thousands of men, the Pennsylvani a
alone laying of 1000 in all.

The New Railroad Shop Bonds
Arrived This Morning.
Joint Meeting of Finance and Street
Committees to Be Held
Tonight.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. COME UP

Tonight the joint finance commit
tee of the general council will meet
to sign the $50, 1000 @. D. g. s. W. r.
r. shop bonds which have beer
refunded at AZ per cent.
The firm taking up the bonds is O
II. White & o., of New York, and thu
firm takes the bonds at 4 per cent
less than they were or iginally fioated
a. The new bonds arrived by ex
press this morning and tonight will
be signed by the Mayor and Finance
Committee.
The joint street committee with the
city engineer and Mayor will also
meet tonight to settle the pavement
question. The board of public works
will meet with the committee and the
officials will likely hold quite a
lengthy session. The board Of public
works has contended all along that
the pavements have to be uniform,
while the council and board of alder
men differed. The matter was refer
ed to to look up tine law and ct to-
nights meeting . settlement is ex-
pected.
1t is probable that another question
to come mp before the meeting to-
night is who is to pay for reconstruct
ed sidewalks. Some claim that the
charter requires property owners to
pay the entire cost, while others,
basing their opinion on another sec
tion Of the charter. and seemingly
conflicting one, claim that the city
must pay half. As the question in.
wolves about $4,000 of the street
bond issue funds, and the question
whether it shall be spent for street
paving OF for new sidewalks, q great
deal Of interest 10 taken in the settle
ment of il.
