the company practically had said 1t would
discuss no more.
So yesterday forenoon, as the result
OF meeting Of the labor organizations
executive committee In Horton Hall, l25th
street. an application was made TO MI.
Belmont for new conference. The appli-
cation was made in the name Of Mr.. Stone
Of the Locomotive Engineers, Mr. Wilson
OF the Locomotive Tremen, and Mr.. Mahon
Of the Amalgamated association. Mr..
Belmont promptly granted the request
for another discussion TO be held at his
residence at 2:s0 In the afternoon.
BEoINEINa OF THE END.
1t was 2:4S before all were present. The
marlborough company. az before. was
represented by Mr. Belmont, Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Hedley. The labor organizations
were represented by Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Mahon,
twelve more. The conference lasted barely
an hour. When 1t was over several OF
those present said 1t looked as though an

there was to be still another conference.
CONCESSIONS IN DETAIL.
This second conference took place in the
marlborough Offices in the Park Row
Building between and o'clock In the
evening. Only the three heads Of the labor
organization, Mr.. Stone, Mr.. Wilson and
Mr.. Mahon, were present on the part OF the
employees. The company was again repre-
sented by Mr.. Belmont Mr.. Bryan and MIR.

reality for nothing more than the working

had been reached in general outline at the
conference in Mr.. Belmonts house In the
afternoon. II was at that conference made
perfectly clear that the marlborough COM
pany would not yield on the pay and hours
questions, 1t would, however, grant GER
tain concessions to the motormen of the
elevated who wanted to 90 into the subway
service,
These concessions, as worked out in
detail, were that such elevated railway
motormen as chose to 60 into the subway
service should have easy berths that their
schedules should be arranged so that they
could have from two 10 two hours and hall
for themselves in the middle Of the day
II they chose. or that their runs should be
80 timed that they could get home to their
regular three daily meals II they liked that
arrangement better, and that all the old
elevated railway men should have the
preference in the subway assignments Of
work. For the ticket sellers, the chop
ping box men and the other members Of
the amalgamated association, it was pro-
vided that those who went from the ele-
waited to the subway service should retain
their seniority in the line OF promotions
provided they continued at the same line
Of occupation-ticket sellers or what not
as they had been engaged in on the ele-
waited. II trainman, for instance, on the
elevated choose to become ticket seller
on the subway. he would lose his seniority
and begin at the rear end Of the line once
more II he continued to be trainman
In the subway he would retain the ad-
vantage in the line Of promotion of his
years Of service on the elevated.
There we're limitations all day yesterday
Of quiet but very thorough preparations
on the part OF the company for coping
with a strike on the elevated. A telegram
to THE SUN from Plattsburg, n Y. stated
that Farley, the strike breaker, who has
at his belt the scalps Of more smashed
electric road strikes than any man in Amer
lea, had actually been retained by the Inter-
borough company, and was getting ready
to throw a heavy force of men into New
York the moment the trouble began.
