suit would be splitting up OF its en-
pioyes OF one class into various organiza-
lions. The disadvantages OF this are OBJ
yious.
The company does not deal with its EN-.
p,oyes as members OF labor organiza tions,
but as employees of various classes. II
has however. no objection to labor organ
izations and Is absolutely Indifferent as
TO whether an employe belongs to a labor
OF iganization or not. The employees OF diff
f.rent classes meet the officers OF the
company for purposes Of making agree
ments. settling disputes, etc, through
committees selected by them from among
their own number Thus there exists an
engineers adjustment committee.
Naturally IL the members or the Broth
efhood of Locomotive Engineers are IN
the majority among the engineers the ad-
lustment committee Is likely TO be com
posed OF Brotherhood men. II the non
union engineers (of whom the road emA
ploys about 1907 were I'm the majority they
would presumably control the committee,
ana II most OF the engineers belonged TO
the Firemens Brotherhood IL would be
probable that the committee would be
composed OF men o. that brotherhood.
TlHs, however. is an internal matter
with which the company has nothing to
do. as It regards aud has always regarded
zstions. but simply as engineers, and
keeps 20 this rule in all classes OF en-
pioyes.
IL has been customary for employees
who have been disciplined. in their opin-
ION too severely when taking an appeal
from the decision Of the officer applying
the discipline. to higher officer 10 lay
their cases before the adjustment com
mittee OF the class OF labor TO which
they belong and ask the adjustment
committee 10 ask as their advocates before
the higher officer. In this manner the
engineers adjustment committee has
been I'm the habit OF placing the cases OF
engineers who have been disciplined be-
fore the higher officers OF the company.
TROUBLE BEGAN IN JULY.
The present trouble began in June,
1904. when the hremen's general adjust
ment committee. of which Mr.. A. +.
Kelly Is chairman. az a conference with
the general manager. asserted that the
engineers adjustment committee was not
taking up with the management cases
OF engineers who desired TO appeal unless
those. engineers were members of the
brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers. or
that the engineers adjustment committee
was neglectlng the cases OF engineers who
were members ~ the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Firemen Cof whom there are
several hundred employed by the road.
and Of non-union men Therefore the
nremens committee claimed that 70 should

hcers of the road the engineers who were
members ~ the fremen's brotherhood
The firemens committee asserted further

the engineers was concerned, on that par
ticular phase OF II. The engineers COM
mittee could not see it's way clear 10 as
senting to the demands OF the fremen's
committee
At the request OF the hremen's COM
mittee another conference was then held
between its members and the first vice
president. The first vice president sug-
gested, that. inasmuch as the matter had
been discussed exhaustively without
agreement. and Il was really question In
which the company was not directly inter-
ested, but a dispute between two labor
organizations--each OF them apparently
friendly toward the company-the matter
be left TO arbitration. The first vice
president suggested that each OF the two
committees appoint one arbitrator and
the two together select "A third who would
be i'm no way connected with the COM
pany. The firemens committee, on Jan.
l3 and Is last, declined 10 consider arbitra-
ton though the engineers committee
was agreeable TO II.
NO AGREEMENT REACHED
The iremen then called in Second Vice
Grand Master Shea, and In subsequent
conferences the same ground was gone
over without agreement Mr.. Shea sug-
gested the appointment of a second ad-
jpstment committee or engineers 10 be
composed OF members or the brotherhood
OF Locomotive Firemen. The engineers
general adjustment committee pointed out
that such a plan would be In violation
OF the company's agreement with all It's
engineers. on this ground, and because
the plan would require the appointment
OF third adjustment committee 20 rep
resent the non-union engineers and would
compel the road 10 distinguish between Its
employees i'm the same class OF work who
belonged to different organizations, IL was
declined by the company ar impracticable.
Mr.. Shea and the nremen's general com
mittee then took the matter before the
board of directors. whose decision has
been rendered sustaining the action OF
the president and his subordinate officers
1t may be mentioned that IL an engineer
