the date OF issue is not stated. but II is
not likely that the loan will be noated
until after the fall OF Port Arthur.
AT first IL was intended to wait until
the spring. as gold is not yet needed. but
various motives. including desire TO
spoil the market for Japan. induced the
ministry TO close with the German offer,
reserving To itself the choice as to the
time OF the issue of the loan, which Il
Is expected, will be distributed among
various European countries.

pany
This decision was announced after n
long conference between General Man
ager Bryan and General Superintendent
Hedley of the Interborough company and

The question OF wages arose when ar
ransements were being made for open
Ing the subway. When tho announce
ment was made that applications for no.

on certain day and that mon at that
time In the employ OF the company on

hours work.
The motormen on the elevated lines
now receive $3.50 and q movement was at
once begun TO secure similar rate I'm the
subway Many meetings have been held
and the question has been widely dis
formal action regarding enforcement OF
the demand has not yet been taken.
In view OF the failure OF the local COM
mittee to secure any promises from the
company, the matter now probably will
be turned over 10 the officers OF the
national organization of street railway
men.
The local officers OF the Brotherhood
OF Locomotive Engineers ana Firsmen
discussed the subway trouble last night
with President Pepper and his associates
OF the Amalgamated Association OF Street

made through Mr.. Bryan for tLs local
committee TO meet August Belmont today
for the purpose OF making a final appeal
to him In the interest of the men en-
gagged 10 operate trains in the subway
National Officers Stone and Hurley said
last night that as the negotiations for
settlement regarding the pay ana work
hours or the men to be employed I'm the
new subway are still in the hands OF
the local COMMITTEES they are here simply
to watch the progress OF affairs.
