fer Regarding Wage Scale
BOTH SIDES ARE SILENT

pectantly Demands From
Their Men for More Pay
BOTH SIDES ARE SILENT

Representatives of the Garments
Union and the United Railroads were
in conference for several hours yes
terday, but at the end of their meeting
1t was stated by both sides that no
definite understanding had been ar
rived at regarding existing troubles.
Though General Manager Chapman
and President Cornelius both ex-
pressed the hope that the differences
between their respective interests
would be amicably settled, there is still
a strong undercurrent of feeling that
a strike is inevitable. Everything in
dicates that the company is deter
mined to make no further advances
in it's wage schedule and it has so an
nounced on several occasions lately.
The men have shown no inclination.
however. to abandon their hope of
forcing their employers TO meet the
demands incorporated in their recent
communication to the company.
1t was stated on good authority yes
terday that the railroad company's
action in ceasing to break in more
students" on the various lines after
protest had been made by the carmen.
was only a temporary move and that
in a few days the management would
continue to instruct new men as it has
been doing for several months. This
move, it is expected, will precipitate
matters, notwithstanding the declara-
ton lately made that both sides would
stand by the existing agreement until
its expiration on April 80. 1t is held
by members of the union that any
trouble arising out. of the employment
of extra men will be treated as a mat
ter entirely foreign to the provisions of
the agreement and that if the COM
pany persists in breaking in new men
on the eve of the expiration of this
agreement such an act will be accepted
only in the light of an indication of
the company's determination to have
no further peaceful arrangement with
the union.
The report received by the managers
of the California Street and Union
Street Gable companies Friday after
noon to the effect that the employees
of those companies were preparing to
submit demands for an increase of
wages has not yet been confirmed, al
though the men on the two lines free
ly discuss with their friends their con-
templated move in that direction in
the near future.

CLASH Is IMMINENT.
Livery Stablemen's Association and

Association and the Stablemen's Union

The stablemen have asked for a

association is disposed to rebel against

have succeeded in getting everything
they have asked for up to the present
time.
Both bodies held meetings last
night, but their deliberations were
executive. The Stablemen's Union
will submit its conclusions to the
executive committee of the same be-
fore taking definite action.
In any event nothing positive will
be done before the next meeting of the
union, which will be held on Monday
night. 1t IS rumored that the stable
mems association is determined to
fight the issue to finish at this time.
Should both sides remain obdurate it
is possible that other labor elements
may be dragged into the issue. as it is
freely circulated that the Citizens
Alliance is prompting the stablemen's
association to declare for a free and
open labor market to all that may
wish to work. On the other hand the

leading male characters and Caro-
Roma, Bessie Tannehill, Dora de Fill

female roles. The same care and artis-

production, and the result is an en-
joyable performance.

singer, varied her speciality; Hawley

contralto, was warmly applauded for
her illustrated songs. The animato-

At the Central Theater Owen Davis
romantic melodrama, In the Hands of
the Enemy" gave a big audience the
full measure of thrill and excitement
last night and incidentally furnished a
generous amount of amusing comedy.
The scenes of the play are laid in Bo-
livia, and the plot deals with the
scheme of a brace of villains to wrest
from a young American gold miner
the fruits of his rich discoveries. An
English adventurer is at the bottom
of the design, and he is abetted by
a Bolivian Chief of Police. The Ameri-
can is flung into prison on a trumped-
up charge, but with the aid of the
daughter of a United States Consul
he escapes in a sensational manner.
He is tracked to an abandoned mon
astery, where he has taken refuge,
and a battle ensues. The American, Of
course, comes off victor. and naturally
weds the girl that saved him. Herschel
Mayall is the American, and Miss
Lawton the heroic daughter of the
Consul. while Henry Shumer is the
wicked Chief of Police, George Mich

comedy element is unusually good. Ell

nighted heather, and Helen Hartley
as the wealthy widow with whom the
preacher becomes smitten after he
learns that she possesses fortune that
may be put TO pious uses, created a
great deal of merriment, while. Myrtle
Vane has a clipper part as the romp-
ing member of the Consul's household,
in love with the missionary's mischiev-
Gus nephew. played by Millar Bacon.
Ernest Howell makes a dignified
United States Consul, and George p.
Webster, who would be a success in
any role, shines as negro servant.
The climatic scenes, in which guns and
pistols play a thunderous part, evoked
prolonged applause and curtain falls
The scene of the ruined Spanish mon
astery was exceedingly picturesque
In the Hands of the Enemy" is a
weIl-written melodrama, and it is well
played at the Central Theater.
"Aristocracy," this weeks offering at
the Alcazar, is a pleasant little four
act comedy, the humor of which is based
on the alleged peculiar personal char
acteristics of the members of European
nobility. The company handles the
piece in excellent shape.
