the situation has considerably chang
I'd. Conferences were held all day

If the company maintains the po-
sition Il took 10 the conference II

PENNSYLVANIA railroad had agreed to
DO Oh its lines east Of Pittsburg what
ali the other railroads In the country
have done In accepting the standard
rules adopted In the eastern associa
tion including the mileage plan and

ever they were higher than those

1t was explained that BY the mile

Mr. Garretson said that. while tba
demands of the men were In the ma
ture Of technical demands, requiring
a betterment Of working conditions
yet compliance with them on the
part Of the company would necessarily
Increase the roads operating ex-
penses. This arises from the fact, II
was said. that lettering the working
conditions means full pay for a mint
mum day. with extra pay for extra
mileage above 100 and for extra hours
above ten. The rate Of pay would be
the same as before. but the technicali
ties controlling the days work would
be such as actually TO Increase the
