Postmaster General Hitchcock stirred
the assembly to the heights of enthusi
assn with his acknowled gment of the
support given him by the postal en-
plOyes here and throughout the country
in carrying out the reforms introduced
into the service and the enlargement of
the work it was doing for the country.
He expressed the earnest hope that his
pet scheme. that of giving all clerks a
thirty-day vacation with pay. which had
seemingly fallen through, might find
favor in the sight of his successor in
office and be carried to a successful con-
clusion. At the close of his remarks the
applause testified to the real joy occa

RAILWAY STRIKE VOTES
IN CANVASSERS' HANDS
Referendum to Determine At
titude of Firemen-Arbi-
tration Deemed Prob able.

NEW YORK. February Awhile the
representatives of the railway firemen
were busy in the Broadway Central
Hotel counting the ballots sent in
by the firemen in the referendum
strike vote which ends February 10, the
railroads, through Chairman ]. w. Lee
of the railroad managers committee,
said they expected no strike and also
made a concession regarding the pro-
posed arbitration committee to settle the
tremen's demands.
The firemen have insisted that if their
demands are 10 be arbitrated they shall
be treated under the Erdman law, pro-
viding for a committee Of three.
Railway Contention.
Until Yesterday the railroads cOntended
that, as the third member chosen by the
other two members of an Erdman law
committee really would be the deciding
factor. it was unfair thus to make one
man the arbiter of the affairs either of
the 1000 firemen or the fifty-four rail-
roads involved in the dispute.
Now the railroads express themselves
as willing to accept a committee of five
men, The railroads and the firemen, I'M
der the railroad plan. are each to name
one man of this committee. and the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court or the
Chief Justice of the Commerce Court the
three others.
Chairman Lee and his associates believe
the firemen will accept in arbitration
committee of five. No provision has
been made to employ and train substi
tutes in case of a strike.
