Under Consideration.

The men are now considering a prop
osition that they should accept for the
present the same rate of pay they re-
ceived prior to the last advance, made
about a year ago This amounts to about
6 per cent, but varies in different locaf-
ties. as the scale of pay is governed by
local conditions.
The matter is now in the hands of the
employees committee, and while no time
has been fixed for an answer it is thought
it will reach a decision in the next few
days.
1t is stated that the conferences be-
tween the railway officials and their en-
ployes have been characterized by good
<feellng on both sides. and it is believed
that an amicable arrangement will be
made.
During this week conferences will be
held with the conductors. engineers and
trninmen, and with the track forces
and other outdoor employees The
general offices of the company in this
city. and it is stated the necessity
of the reduction in pay is put squarely
before the men. The retrenchment policy
was started by the Southern railway Feb
ruary 1, when the salaries of all office
employees. from the president down. who
were receiving over $50 per month We're
cut 10 per cent.
Among the representatives of the shop
employees who were present at the recent
conference and who are now consid-
ering the proposition made by the rail-
way company are Archie McGilvery. rep

DISCORD IN THE CHOIR
RECTOR AND LEADER IN CLASH
OF AUTHORITY.

Notes of discord were characteristic
features of the rehearsal of the choir
of the Pro-Cathedral Church of the AS

self did not run smoothly. and was fol-
lowed by a lively controversy Of WORDS
between Rev. DR.. J. He2ning Neims'

The result of the trouble Was that
Mr.. Leigh has announced his resigna-
ton as choir director. and 1t is. de-
clared that in sympathy many OF the
members of the chorus will tender their
destinations. Members OF the ehurcn
vestry, however, say they have hot yet
received any formal withdrawals.
The controversy last night came near
being a personal encounter. involving
the use of hands or fists. according to
those who were present brienos OF

insinuated that Mr. Leigh had made

however maintaining that he had jpr-
isdiction over the choir: that his direc-

two years and that his orders were to
rule the choir. The situation continued
to grow more strained as time went
on.
Matters came to crisis last evening
when the choirmaster requested Mrs.

that she took her orders only from DR..

Mr.. Leigh sought out DR.. helms. and the
controversy as to who should contro4

AS to what happened next. Mr.. Leigh
will talk very little. He says that he
did not grapple with the rector. He
stated to a Star reporter that the rector
insinuated that he had made untruthful

the presence of others.
