CONFER ON WAGE INCREASE.
Marine Engineers and Steamboat
Owners Meet.


It is understood that a conference was
held yesterday morning, upon the request
of the Randall Steamboat Line, between
the officers of that company and the wage
scale committee of the Marine Engineers
Beneficial Association, for the purpose OF
enecting a compromise OF the demands OF
the engineers for an increase in wages
and an additional man on several boats.
It IL also understood there was second
conference IN the afternoon between tha
committee and towboat and tugbOat own
ers. What the outcome OF these meetings
was is not known. and II is equally a
matter OF doubt as 20 whether any sort OF
an agreement or compromise was reached.
The situation is becoming critical with
the usual heavy spring traffic, and the
great stimulus Of the jamestown Exposi-
lion. and only hve days remain for
settlement, as It was stated in the asso-
clation's ultlmatum submitting the wage
scale that If the demands were not met
by May 10 the men would be called out
on strike.
Both owners and men are optimistic,
however, and IN view Of the conferences
II is possible that the matter VIII be set
tied amicably. President William B. Hay
den, OF the local branch OF Marine En-
gineers, is authority for the statement
that II the matter is not settled and it
came to the point the men would un-
doubtedly walk out. The association. he
said, Is practically 100 per cent strong.
that Is. every man IN the city holding a
license belongs 10 II, and a walk-out would
undoubtedly tie UP all traffic.
In view of these facts. Il is possible that
the steamer service. not only on the river
but to Norfolk, Portsmouth, jamestown,
and Baltimore may be affected.

For the purpose Of preserving the spirit

qure an additional amount Of work TO pre-
vent the Office falling behind

planned TO them they accepted the pro-
