a Nine-hOur Day and Get
10 Per Cent Increase
MEDIATORS WIN PEACE
Agreement Affects the Brotherhood Of
Firemen as Well as COnduCtOrSland
TFainmen Of Various Lines

Chicago, April 4.-The differences
between the western railroads and
the members of the order OF conduc-
tors and of the BrOt herhOOd of Rail-
road Trainmen were finally adjusted
today.
The men abandoned their demand
for nine hour work day and the
railroads made an advance over their
previous propositions in the pay OF
baggagemen, flagmen and brakemen
OF $3.50 a month The original de-
mands of the men were for an in
crease of II per cent per month and
for working day of nine hours. The
managers offered an increase In pay
OF - per cent and declined to grant
the nine hour work day.
The agreement was reached mainly
through the efforts of Chairman
Knapp of tho interstate commerce
commission, and Chairman Neill, of
the labor commission.
The new agreement which goes in
effect dating from April | follows:
Terms of Agreement.
The pay of conductors in the pas
scnger service to be increased $40 a
month; that of baggagemen, $3.50;
and that OF ilagmen and brakemen.
$3.50 per month as applied TO the
schedules in effect November /, 1906.
The railroads are not TO make any
reduction in crews or increase in the
mileage for the purpose OF offsetting
the increased wages given the pas
senger trainmen.
Overtime In the passenger service
to be allowed on the basis of 5 miles
per hour, to be computed for each
part of the run separately Time to
begin al the scheduled time of leav-
Ing.
I.oads on n basis of more than 10
hours for a day for II helper of con-
structiOn train service are to make
no Increase in the rates paid for such
service
The increases granted in the agree
ment are to apply also to rates for
special services as specified In the m
diVidual schedule.
Upon roads having better OASIS
for days work. or for payment OF

QUICK EFFECT OF
LOWER MONEY
Rapid Fall in Rates Clears Up
the Dark Cloud on the
Financial Horizon

New York, April 4.-There was Il
material expansion OF the volume OF
transactions in today's rising stock
market over the faltering and hesi-
tating market of yesterday. The
market still preserved its preferen-
tial appearance however and the
movement was regarded rather as an
adjustment of the price level to the
changed conditions in the money
market than as a response to any ac-
tuaI large absorption of securities.
The readjustment in values was
quite radical and sudden.
Other factors were given a nomi-
nal influence in the days movement
but there can be no doubt but that
! changed conditions in the money
market lay ut the root of the cheer
ful sentiment expressed by the rise
In prices
Today the call loan rate did not
rise above 2 l2 per cent as compared
with a maximum rate of Ia per
cent yesterday The movement of In
ternational exchanges is significant
of the change in conditions. Now,
with the quarterly settlements con-
cluded and the expected relaxation In
foreign money markets, New York is
without urgent necessity to draw on
Europe London has removed the OBJ
stacle TO an outgo OF gold, the price
of the metal declining in that mar
ket and sharp fall in the open dis
count rate opening the way for New
York to secure gold if it is desired.
The rapid fall in our own money rate
meanwhile has run mp the sterling
exchange gate to Il point where the
import of gold offers no profit.
The collaps in money rates clears
up one of the darkest clouds on the
financial horizon and is of vast SEN
timental influence in disposing OF the
depression recently hanging over the
securities market
Large importance was attached in
the days improvement to the reports
from Chicago thar a settlement was
imminent of the wage dispute on the
western railroads. Southern Pacif-
les very strong showing of net earn-
ings for February helped that stock
and Union Pacific as we'll, and this
had sympathetic effect on the wheat
market. A rebound in the London
copper was Il fayoring incident or the
day
The late market showed the usual
effect of profit taking on SO consid-
erablc a days rise but the gains were
quite we'll maintained. The bond
market was active and very strong in
response to the decline on money
rates
Total sales. par value $3,35 900
United States bonds were mchang-
ed on call.
