that his introduction 20 Wilmington
had made a serious impression upon
him. as he had come upon the Balu-
more and Ohio railroad train with Be
thea, and he hoped to leave under
pleasanter auspices. Father Fortier
told very eloquently the life of the
Maid of Orleans, his subject having
special interest for him as a French
man, and for his audience since Joan
of Arc received beatihcation from the
church last April, and 1T is expected
that her canonization will be declared
i'm 1912.
The lecture was illustrated with
slides from famous paintings and es-
pecially interesting were the slides
imported from France, and unfamiliar
in this country. There were views
showing the pictures and little statues
of Jeanne D'Arc which are being dis
tributed among the French, TO stimu-
late interest in the beatified maid, and
views taken in st. Peters, Rome. show
ing the ceremony Of the beatihcation.

on a Compromise
OTHER COMPANIES HAVE
OFFERED AN INCREASE

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
NEW YORK, March 29-AH danger
Of general strike OF employees Of the
big eastern trunk lines has practically
been averted. While some of the roads
are now taking q "strike vote" this
is said to be purely the formal action
needed TO make arbitration possible
under the Erdman act. AS soon as tho
vote Is complete arbitration will come
according 10 those closest TO tho situ-
alton to-day.
This was made certain by the agree
ment reached by the employees Of the
New York, Now Havensand Hartford
system ON a compromise. which viii
result in an increase of tho trainmen
and conductors pay rolls fully half "a
million dollars a year. This COM
promise. and the compromises on the
Baltimore and Ohio, Il is understood
win be made the basis for all figuring
In settling the question ON the other
roads
Some of the roads have already set
tied with their engine crews. others
are negotiating while the General Man
ayers Association OF the eastern roads
are preparing To "get down 20 brass
taclSs" with the englnemens' brother
hood az once.
In explaining which tho strike vote
Is being taken while It is admitted
! arbitration is to be used TO settle all
pending questions. Interested ofhcials
explained to-day that Il is necessary
TO show that the railway employees
are unit in their demands
The New York Central offered an
increase which approximated half =
million dollars TO it's trainmen and en-.
gineers. This has beon refused as thl
revised demands of the men call 70
about one million.
