the ranking man, and no one viii be
placed above MIN. This means that the

strikers chance to return as body,
but that they must apply as new men
If they want places and must 90 through
the usual formalities The men will
take that rank to which their date Of
application entities them. The railroad
officials say they win exercise great care
Ia choosing men and win take only those
who show that they are efficient. Fif-
teen experienced conductors arrived from
New York this morning and will be put
on duty as they are needed

asked to-day If the reported plan Of the
