S. p. STRIKE IS
HALTED BY MEDIATION


| SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2O.-Th2
strike for which a majority of the en-
plOyes Of the Southern Pacific voted,
in which We're involved some 5000
men. has been averted and differences
! between the men and the company
ment made by G. Wallace Hangar. as
Sstant commissioner of the board of
mediation and conciliation. the body
created by the recently enacted New
lands act to adjust labor and strike
questions throughout the country
The announcement followed a series
Of conferences over which Hanger pre-
sided within the past week between
officials Of The Southern Pacific COM
pany and representatives of the Broth
erhood Of Locomotive Engineers, Or
der Of Railway Conductors, Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen and Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen.
The issue upon which the men
voted for the strike is based upon
questions of seniority of service in the
employment Of operatives for parts OF
the Southern Pacific system which
have been or are about to be electr-
fled.
According to the terms Of the agree
ment signed last night by F. E. Calvin.
vice president Of the Southern Pacific,
and representatives of the various m-
ions. portions of the Southern Pacific
that have been electrified and portions
| that may hereafter be electrified. will
not be segregated in 30 far as it affects
! the rights Of enginemen. tranmen and
yardmen. in either the steam or elec-
! trio service. and the rates of pay and
working conditions provided for in
steam service shall apply
It is provided in the agreement that
before an emplOye, in the exercise Of
his seniority right. i assigned to runs
| in the electric service. from the steam
service, or vice versa, the company
shall have the right to establish and
| require such tests and standards of
efficiency as it MAY deem necessary to
satisfy itself Of the competency Of the
empIoye for the position desired"
The agreement signed last night. by
which strike of Southern Pacific en-
ployes is averted. is the first agree
ment Of The sort effected through the
Intervention and cancellation board Gre
ated by the Newlands act The offices
of the board We're asked for by the
Southern Pacific company when the
strike threatened
Following the conference at which
the agreement was signed. F. E. Cal
win. vice president Of the Southern Pa
cific company. who represented the
company. issued this statement:
"The essentials of the agreement
are that the company is endeavoring
to protect itself against men going
from steam to electric service or from
electric to steam service upon their
seniority right without a period of pro
baton to fit themselves for the changed
conditions. The men had asked to be
allowed to change from one to the
other at their option. This element of
danger, namely, that Of general lack Of
experience, was recognized by the
mediator and is now recognized by the
men in entering into this agreement.
The peaceful settlement Of this con-
troversy is acknowledged by both par
ties as distinct step in the settlement
of industrial disputes.n

NEW YORK MONEY.

New York. Dec. Mooney on call on the stock
exchange today opened at per ernt; highest. Q;
lowest. 81. closing at ~ per cent. Most Of the
days loans were made at per cent.
A decidedly stronger tone characterized the mar
ket for hxed date funds. a sequel to Saturdays
poor bank exhibits Borrowers Bidding S per
cent but lenders inclined to insist on 81 PEI
cent particularly for the shorter dates. The con-
timed heavy withdrawal Of cash by subtreaSury
transfer to San Francisco has still further inspiryd
them with 4 feeling Of czution. and they have re
dnced their offerings to small proportions.
Rates are 81 per cent for sixty and ninety days
per cent for four, five and si1 months
Sentiment in commercial paper circles fsvors
higher rates and seems to point TO Nat per cent
as the rate for the best names. But the extremely
small volume Of transactions makes these terms
lsrgely nominal In character. Banks maintain
ing cautious at refraining from purchases until
the money outlook becomes clearer.
