That Threatened Strike

Pennsylvania Railroad officials this
morning posted notices along their
line calling the attention OF their em-
ployes to the settlement OF the COM
forth the terms under which an amt
cable agreement was reached by the
company and the Brotherhood Of Rail-
road Trainmen.
The men expressed great satisfaction
that there would be no strike and de-
clared themselves more than pleased
with the concessions made by the
company IN It's efforts to ailay the
grievances OF the trainmen east Of
Pittsburg and Erie.
BY It's admittedly fair adjustment Of
the grievances presented to General
Manager Atterhury, the Pennsylvania
Railroad is once more on the best pos
sible terms with all organizations OF

employes affiliated with the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Firemen win soon

quests are much less serious than
Those presented by the brakemen their
adjustment will be readily accom-
Iplished
All Of the results aocrung TO the
trainmen as the outcome OF the con-
ferences with the general manager will
not be secured Immediately but the
trainmen recognize the difficulty OF
changing conditions at once and well
satisfied with Mr. Atterbury's prom
se to put into force suggested relief
measures at as early n date as pos
sible.
That the tralnmen secured sub
stantal benefits is apparent from the
! fact that some 1000 freight hrakemen
and conductors within "a radius OF
twelve miles OF New York harbor win
receive an increase In wages amount
ing TO 100000 year Il is not doubt
ed that men in the yards here and at
. other points will receive a proportion

Brotherhood OF Railroad Trainmen. IN
a statement made late last night said:

lgetting books cheaper than any other
city in the country and several other
members expressed themselves as be-
ing of the same opinion.

pupils reported that the committee had
not been able 10 collect the money due
and had had done nothing because th
city solicitor had not given the opin-
ion asked for.
Mr.. Ford moved that unless the nom
PRESIDENT pupils pay by the end Of the
term their seats be taken from them

One Of the rites performed by the

the forecasting Of the weather for the
coming year by means Of onions.
When the bells ring for midnight
mass they scoop out the middles Of
twelve onions. set them I'm row on

and name them for the months Of the
year Then when they return from
mass they examine the condition Of the
salt. II it has melted In any Of the
months" those months win be rainy;
If the salt remains dry, 1t indicates
drought; II half melted, the first fort
night OF the month win be wet.
The peasants have such implicit faith
in this means Of foretelling the wealth
er that they plant their crops in accord
ance with the prophecy OF the onions.
