other communication was sent in the
afternoon. TO which reply was re-
ceived to the effect that It Is not the
practice of the company to have con-
ferences with committees represent
ing clerical employees Another note
was sent him the same date, calling
attention to the fact that the COM
mittee was acting under instructions
from the clerks in seeking this con-
ference. On the morning OF the
twelfth we received letter from him
stating that he failed to see wherein
our second letter should In any way
change his position in the matter, and
that he still declined to see the COM
mittee.
Mr.. Riley said that several more
letters passed between the committee
and Mr.. Johnson, whose last reply
was that he had no further PROPOSE
ton to make. Vice-President Caples
and President Stevens were then COM
municated with. who told them, said
Mr.. Riley. that the matter could be
taken up with Mr.. Johnson. Later,
however, President Stevens wrote
grievances should be taken up with
the division superintendent.
"On August 18th Mr.. Johnson was
informed py ietter tHat tne opJeCt
of the conference sought was to
present for his consideration certain
uniform rules for the government OF
the clerical employees. but to this we
received a reply that we did not deem
satisfactory. Accordingly the ballots
were sent out"
Mr.. Johnson was not inclined to
discuss the matter last night. saving
that he preferred not to talk until he
had a better idea of the demands Of
the clerks, from which the company
has not heard except through one not
an employe of the road He ap-
peared. however. to be as confident
that no strike would ensue as the
brotherhood officials were to the con-
trary.

high standard, and Is a masterpiece.

LITTLE FLOYD BRIDGES.
Aunt Writes in Memory of Child Who
Died on April 9th.


Two little hands that once were busy
Are folded across his breast,
The little eyes that beamed with love
Are closed in peaceful rest.
The mother of a noted minister
once stood beside the casket where
her only child lay cold in death.
Though the bitterness of grief filled
her heart she said with the light of
heaven in her face: Behold the
will of my Father" The Lord
gave and the Lord taketh away;
blessed be the name of the Lord.
Only those who have had like eXpe-
rience can understand the sorrow
that wrings the hearts of parents
when called to give up the youngest,
dearly beloved child.
Our Heavenly Father doeth all
things well, and doth not willingly
affiict the children of men. We have
not words to express the loss we feel
in the death of little Floyd Bridges.
Oh, how we miss him. We NEEDED
him more. He was eight years old,
an affectionate child, the idol of his
loved ones, and truly loved by his lit
tie friends and school mates. He
was sick only a few days when God
took him. He was gathering up His
precious jewels and took little Floyd
to shine for Him in the glory world.
Truly, the words of the prophet ire
timely here: 1T is well with the
child" May father, mother, grand
parents, brothers, sisters and all OF
his loved ones so live that when the
summons comes to them they will be
prepared to meet little Floyd in the
great beyond, where all suffering
and sorrow are unknown, but where
there is eternal peace and joy. His
aunt. MRS. I. G. MARSHALL.
