OF TRAINMEN FOR INCREASE


NEW YORK, May 2.-Aecording to
railroad representatives. there will be
no arbitration of the demand for more
money made by 100000 conductors and
traimmen ON railroads of the eastern
district. Managers of the railroads so
notified representatives of the con-
ductors and trainmen at joint meet
ing today.
In declining to arbitrate the man
ayers repeated their reasons for re-
fusing to accede to the demand in the
first place, namely. that the proposed
increase would add s1I.0o0.000 to their
payrolls; that liberal wages were al
ready pand, and that present freight
rates would not permit the roads to
advance wages further.

Protest of the Central Railway
Is Disregarded by Works
Board.

Because of the crowded condition of
the Seventh Avenue School, the Board
of Educati will soon begin the erec-
ton of new school building in that
section. To this end negotiations were
begun with the Board of Works yes
terday for the purchase of its stable
property at Eighth avenue and Fac
tory street.
In communication from Charles P.
Taylor. president of the Board of Ed
ueation, the board was asked to set a
price on the property The letter,
however, was filed without comment.
1t is probable that some definite ac-
ton will be taken next week. as a
plan is on foot to locate the stables
on another piece of property.
Appeal to Merchants
An effort win be made by the board
to. have the Market street merchants
reconsider their threat to make no
further contributions toward the up
keep Of the lighting system on that
thorodghfare after the expiration of
the present contract on September 1.
fel. as chairman of the lighting COM
mittee. will probably appear at the
next meeting of the merchants.
Despite the objection of the Central
Railroad the board will take imme-
date steps to open Delaney street
to the bay front City Counsel Nu-
gent. was requested to set the case
before the Public Utilities Commits
sion with view of compelling the
railroad to make the necessary inn
provements at its tracks so as to
prevent a dangerous grade crossing.
At the same time it is probable that
a hearing will be asked on the ques-
stion of securing reduction in the
present rate of fare between this city
and Summit avenue, Jersey City, over
the tube line This matter was placed
with the Utilities Board some time
ago and notice was received yester-
day that the Pennsylvania Railroad
shad fled its answer.
The answer is Identical with the
explanation given to the local board
by representatives of the road some
time ago. The present rate of fare
between the points in question is II
cents, with a rebate of 2 cents at the
Jersey City end, while, the fare from
Summit avenue to Thirty-third street,
New York. an even greater distance,
els I cents.
Plea of a Widow.
The widow of laborer who was
killed in an accident while in the

When the question was referred to
the city counsel he ruled that If the
accident happened subsequent to the

covering city employees receiving less
than $1,000 year the board would be
in a position to make a settlement,
otherwise the widow would have no
redress.

only to remind the people of Cairo
that they are now facing similar

When Cairo faced the danger in

the earth by the floods in the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers. the city went
to the local business men and asked
for unlimited credit, Materials for

out question and a debt of $4,000
was credited.
This debt was not wiped of the
slate until few weeks ago. nearly
year and half after the aood crest
had passed.
Last spring when the Citizens
Executive Committee appeared be-
/ fore the business men and again ask
ed them for unlimited credit. no
questions were asked although the
city was at that time $4,000 In the
/ hole. Credit was given freely, sc
that material could be obtained for
food lighting without delay and the
1913 debt still remains unpaid

voter in Cairo, went before the gen
