MACHINISTS And
OFFICIALS MEET
NOT KNOWN WHAT GRIEVANCE
IS-BOILERMAKERS ASK FOR
A RAISE.

Both the boilermakers and the
machinists of the Paducah shops
have their grievance committees In
Chicago in conference, while Master
Mechanic ]. Ii. Nash is in Chicago
also. Machinists this morning de-
clined to discuss what was under fire
at the conference. What the de-
mands of the union are could not be
learned. Harry Kelley of the Padu-
cab machinists' union, is in Chicago.
Pending the conference the machin-
lists refuse to work over time, ana
Yesterday some of them declined to
work on an engine during the noon
hour.
The conference of the boilermak-
ers is said to be solely on demand
for more money. 1t is current about
the shops that the bolermakers have
a demand for so cents an hour in
stead of 81 cents an hour and 20
cents an hour for boilermaker help
ers instead of Is cents an hour.
However, this is unofficial as the
boilermakers decline to discuss the
conference.
IL is generally believed that there
will not be any strike as all demands
of the employees have been settled
heretofore without strike.

ROAD STRIKE.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 7.-Of
the &c strike breakers only IA report
ed for work today. the other rs hav-
ing left, according to statement
from strike headquarters today. The
Midway yards are guarded by men
employed by the railroads. Their
duty apparently is f. keep intru-
ders from the yards, but the striking
switchmen declare their work Is
mainly to keep strike breakers at
work. Strikers are keeping aloof
from any semblance of interference
with the passenger service. They do
not wish to embarrass the travelling
public or give the railroads an OPP
portunity to invoke the Federal law
against interference with the mails.
Reports from GAINESVILLE and other
towns north and west indicate that
should the weather continue cold and
,oal be delayed In transit a fuel
famine might develop within a short
line. Strikers say the slippery
ground and cold weather has caused
inexperienced strike breakers many
INJURIES, and the railroads are en-
deavoring to keep II quiet.

After falling from a passenger
train moving at the clip OF 40 miles
an hour, Henry Wyatt. prominent
citizen OF Keyil. is alive TO tell the
story of what he remembers. Al
though he has n fractured jaw and
his condition Is considered serious.
as Il Is thought he was internally in

Maxon Mills this morning and secure
medical attention.
Wyatt boarded train No. sol at

Resolutions Adopted.

Before the close of the meeting the
following resolutions. expressing re-
greet in the departure from the city
of four ministers, were read and
given unanimous adoption:
Whereas. In the province of God
and the supply of the work the fol-
lowing brethren have been removed
from our community to serve In other
fields, viz: Revs. s. b. Moore, ]. r.
Henry, J. w. Bruner and ]. w.
BACKYARD. and whereas. these were
ever faithful in the discharge of the
delicate and arduous duties of the
ministry and were each in his place a
true man of God.
Therefore. be it resolved. That we
regret to lost these men from our
work in the city of Paducah and that
we commend them to the confidence
of all whom they may be called upon
to serve.
