Elks' Home Nearly Ready.

The interior work on the new Elks'
home on the south side of Prince street
between Royal and Fairfax streets. is
being rapidly pushed and the building
will probably be ready for occupation
by September l next, although it will
not be formally dedicated until October
l, next, at which time an elaborate pro-
gram will be given.
The structure is three stories high,
built of brick and Indiana limestone,
with a cement base and basement floor.
it's size is fifty by eighty-five feet, with
fourteen-fOOt lawn ON either side. The
basement floor contains a rathskeller,
number Of private rooms.
On the second floor is located the
auditorium, with stage. Located on this
floor will also be library, ladies' parlor
and Office of the secretary. 1t is the in
tention of the lodge to rent this por-
ton for entertainments and dances.
The lOdgeroom will be located on the
third flour and will be fifty by sixty-five
feet. The interior of the building is be-
ing finished in FlemiSh oak. The exterior
of the structure is of massive design and
is being greatly admired. One OF the
distinguishing features will be the cree
ton of bronze Elk which will be placed
in niche over the main portal.
A local preacher, who makes addresses

parently were willing to be prayed for.

Strike Is Voted For.

During the tendency of the mediation
proceedings a strike vote was taken by
the labor organizations involved. and by
a large majority a strike was ordered by
the men unless the railways acceded to
their demands.
Finally, the presidents of i've of the
great railway systems in the south We're
called into conference with the mediators
in an effort to settle the trouble without
a strike. The members of the general
managers committee and the representa-
tives of the labor organizations commit
tees had wearied CT the protracted strug-
gle to reach an agreement and both sides
were almost upon the point of abandon
ing any further effort to adjust amicabiy
the differences which existed.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-07-03
Standardization Il Obtained.

The representatives of the employees
insisted, however. that the wages of
railway men in the southeastern terri
tory should be standardized, and that
in amount they should approximate the
wages paid for similar employment in
the western territory. In its final an
alysis. the agreement means that the
wages and conditions of railway labor
in the southeastern territory have been
standardized on a scale very slightly
lower than that in effect in other parts
of the country.
Some details of the agreement yet
remain to be worked out. but this work
will be concluded probably by tomor-
row night.
At the final conference yesterday even
ing both the railway officials and repre-
sentatives of the employees cordially
thanked the mediators for the efforts
they had exerted in behalf of an AMIGA
BILE adjustment of the controversy. All
were delighted that conclusion had
been reached.
This mediation proceeding was the
longest and most trying in the history
of proceedings under the Erdman act.
Both Chairman Knapp and DIR. Neill
have worked practically night and day
on the matter for sixteen days.

Labor Conditions Improved.

The conditions of railway labor
throughout the southwestern territory
were among the mooted questions adj
justed by the mediat0rs. In every in
stance and on every line of the thirteen
roads involved the labor conditions of the
men will be materially improved.
When the controversy was submitted
sixteen days ago to the mediators. Chair
man Martin A Knapp Of the interstate
commerce commission and DR.. Charles
p Neill, commissioner of labor, thirteen
separate demands had been made upon
the railways The employees have scored
victory on practically ALL
Until within a day or two, scarcely any
likelihood existed of a satisfactory settle
ment of the controversy. Twelve days
were spent in almost fruitless endeavor
to get the representatives of the two par
ties together on reasona BILE basis of set
Element.
Arbitra ton under the Erdnlan act was
proposed, but that proposition finally was
abandoned
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-07-03
10 to 40 Per Cent Advance.

While no statement was made con-
corning the terms of settlement, it is
known that the men have been granted
an increase of wages ranging from 10
per cent to 40 per cent. 1t is impos-
sible, in the present condition OF the
arrangement effected. definitely to state
what increases are given to the several
classes of labor.
This seeming confusion results from
the fact that the several railway lines
employ different methods of computing
their wage scale. Some of the men re-
ceive a per diem wage, others receive
pay in accordance with the number of
miles they cover each day. Yet others
are paid according to the distance they
travel and the speed made by their
trains.
Regarding the question of the wages,
the mediators felt that they could say no
more than that the increases in all ca
pacities OF employment were. by the
terms of the adjustment, considerable.

Bankruptcy Was Feared.

The alternative was such strike would
be a calamity to the south and would
affect seriously all parts of the United
States. 1t was appreciated by the finan-
cial heads of several of the railway sys-
TENS that strike Of such a magnitude
might spell bankruptcy for several of the
lines. They said frankly that they were
not in such financial condition as would
warrant a. heavy increase in wages.
OF all the railways in the United States.
except those on the Pacific coast they
pointed out. the roads in the southeast
ern territory were the only lines which
had not increased their freight rates re-
Gently. In view of that fact they felt
that some consideration ought to be given
them in regard to the matter of increas-
ing wages

a great many people whom he waS

from the public sight Such drunken
