the Brotherhood Trainmen. The con-
ference today between the committee
of Railroad men and General Manager
w. H. Hayward Myers Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad resulted in no agree
ment and so far as can be learned,
neither side conceded anything to the
other.
When the final conference was over,
the railroad men held a brief meeting
and at it's conclusion President Gar
reton announced that the 100 men,
bers of the general committee who
had been given power through the
strike ballot to order walkout, had
unanimously voted to leave the matter
in the hands of a committee of six.
1t was further explaine that this
committee of six has the power to fix
the time the men shall quit work. Just
when a strike order might be expected
Mr. Garreton refused to say. Thus,
the situation appears to have reached
critical stage.
SO far as can be learned, neither side
had anything new to offer. The rail-
road men insisted that they be given the
1O-hour day with the present 11-hour
rate of wages paid by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad. The company on the
other hand again declined to concede
anything further than had already
been offered. Mr.. Myers, it is said
said that the company would grant the
men the same conditions as those un-
der which the New York Central men,
provided it meant no increase in the
operating expenses of the company.
