The representatives Of the employees
and of the executive officers each state
that so far in the conferences that have
been held both sides have shown a dis
position TO eliminate all matters OF diff

large an increase Of wages as the re-
sources Of the roads can permit. and
are as anxious TO make plain the ac-
counting systems in so far as they relate
70 the time and payment of the en-
ployes.
The employees agents declare they
understand the situation, but they are
firm in their demands, and will insist
upon an agreement in accordance with
their own 1eas
President Finle5, feels encouraged IN
hope for an amicable adjustment OF the
conditions, because of the success At
tained with the engineers Of the road on
the same question some weeks AGO
Then an agreement was reached where
by wages were increased on an AVERAGE
OF about per cent throughout the
Southern system.
