blow to the traffic and wipe out vast

the points IN dispute between the
trainmen and conductors of the Penn

manager now settled. there remained
to-day to be arranged the practical
system along which the agreements
reached may be worked out.
According TO ". G. Lee, president
Of the Brotherhood OF Trainsmen. the
conductors and trainmen will be great
" benefited by the concessions grant
ed by the railroad company In placing
in effect the New York Central sta nd
ard. He maintains that under the
new system It win be possible for men
TO make twice as much money as be-
fore.
In explanation, Lee said: "A man
formerly worked under the trip sys-
! tenn. and after ten hours he was paid
for overtime. Now on the mileage
basis he can run 100 miles or less and
receive pay for ten hours work. II
the company should require him TO
Ia he would he
an additional 100 miles"

representing the conductors and train
mems organizations this morning
President Lee. told Ehe members OF
the committee that II they found any
point during their adjustment differ
ences with the railroad officials, which
they could not agree he would take up
the question with them and endeavor
| to come to AZ equitable understanding
The principal point won by the men
IN the struggle was the establishment
by the railroad OF 10 hour day as a
minimum. This means that every con-
, iuctor and trainman. who so out on a
run, will receive wages for at least 10
hours Heretofore the minimum has
been FIVE hours. with the result that
! the wages OF some OF the men were
very low AT the same time the agree
! ment provides that the men who are
/ working eleven. twelve and thirteen
/ hours while they may be continued Oh
/ runs of that length, are not to lose
! The Pennsylvania standard rate of pr.
I for eleven hours. corresponding to tbs
$3.50 New York Central rate for ten
