STRIKE ON THE
PENNSYLVANIA
To BE SETTLED
Men and Company Officials
Come to an Understanding
on Disagreement.
WILL MEET AGAIN TO FIX
THE TERMS
ssso4ar by us.ted Press Wire.

Philadelphia, July 17:1zWith the
point In dispute between the trainmen
and conductors of the Pennsylvania
Railroad and their general manager set
tied, there remained today to be ar
ranged the system along which the
agreement reached may be worked out.
W. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, maintains
that under the new system it will be
possible for the men to make twice as
much money as before.
After the joint committee of the con-
ductors' and trainmen's unions on the
Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburg
had held conferences with General
Manager Myers Of the railroad com
pany 1t was announced by both sides
that a working basis Of settlement had
been agreed upon, many misunder-
standings cleared up and the probabil-
ayerted
Officers Of the railroad company de-
clared that the company had not yield
ed an inch from the position which 1t
has right along maintained. The union
leaders of the conductors and train
men likewise claimed that they had
been entirely successful In getting the
company to adopt such working condi-
tfons as the men had been contendlng
for
The crux of the dispute, as explained
by Pennsylvania railroad official,
was: whether the company would
pay for ten hour day what it now
pays for an eleven hour day, namely
$4.04. This the company absolutely re-
fused to do but agreed, as 1t said all
along it would agree to do, to pay 1898
for ten hour day, allowing all higher
rates for longer days stand as they are
now This has been the principal bone
of contention right along, and the com
pany long ago signified its entire will
ingness to accept the $3,63 for a ten
hour day, according to the new award
of the eastern federation Of the train
| men,
The trainmen explained that the mis-
| understanding to which they have re-
| ferred for the past two days concerned
this very provision, and they said 1t
was because Of the misunderstanding
| on this point that they requested the
further conferences. They said that
the railroad company had misunder-
stood them and that they had never
fought to be paid $4.04 for a ten hour
day
The union men contended that all
they had sought was the consent of
| the company to make ten hour day
the minimum basis Of paying wages,
| thereby abolishing the present system
of paying its men fraction of a days
wages for fraction of a days sery.
| ices.
| The men feel that they have won a
substantial victory in getting the com
pany to agree to make q ten hour day
| the minimum basis of days wages.

AT "HOLE-|N-W WALL"
GOVERNMENT
GIVEN LETTER
TOPROSECUTOR
specie, to the EVENING NEWS.

New Brunswick, July 19:-Prose-
cutor Booraem said today that the
threatening letter signed Saloon
Keeper" which he received Satur-
day, has been turned over to the
United States Secret Service. He
stated both government detectives
and Perth Amboy police are at work
upon the case and that a clue has
been unearthed which may lead to
the arrest of the guilty party.
The communication Ia question
warns the prosecutor against con-
tinuing activity against Perth Am
boy saloon keepers. The writer
states in the letter, that unless the
prosecutor ceases prosecution against
Perth Amboy saloon keepers. a cir
cular will come out that will make
the Groves circular look like a re-
ligious tract.
Mr.. Booraem says he Is not wor-
ried about the matter. Tie thinks 1t
an obstruction TO justice iather than
attack upon his personal character
Prior to the receiving OF the letter
IN question by Mr. BoOraem, Mrs
3ooraem had received two anony-
nous letters OF similar character.
The writer of the communication
to the prosecutor used pen and ink.
He wrote in back hand, presumably
to throw off suspicion. There Is a
question as to whether the letter
was written in this city and taken to
Perth Amboy and mailed, or writ
ten by some one in Perth Amboy. 1t
seems most probable that the letter
was written in the latter city.
Dennis Donovan, the Perth Am
boy saloon keeper at whose trial yes
terday the letter was first made pub
lie, was found guilty by the jury, Of
violating the excise law by selling on
Sunday.
