Than Formerly.

Eugene A Ball. vice president of the
brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen and
Engineinen was on the stand yesterday
afternoon AZ the arbitration hearing of
the firemen's demands in the Waldorf
Astoria He was the last witness of the
flremen in rebuttal of previous evidence
on behalf of the railroads
When the hearing is resumed to-day
Elisha Lee. chairman Of the conference
committee of the railroads. will put one
or two witnesses on the stand in sur
rehuttal and then sum up on behalf of
the railroads
W = Carter. president Of the Brother
hood Of Locomotive firemen and Engine
men. viii sum up aS attorney Tor the flre-
men tomorrow. after which the case will
be in the hands of the arbltrators. Under
the stipulation signed by both sides the
arbitrators have until April 23 To render
a decision. There will be no appeal from
this decision
Mr. Ball was put on the stand chiefly to
refute the evidence given Tor the rail
roads bv " T. Cavey, assistant road fore
man for the Pennsylvania division OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Mr. Cavey
had testified that he knew Of no feeling
againt him on the part OF the men. When
asked by Mr.. Carter if he had not known
that the firemen were after his scalp he
replied that he knew Of nothing of the
kind. lie also denied knowledge that
80 of the men had signed petition asking
for his removal
In rebuttal yesterday Mr. Ball testified
that in December. 1911 he appeared before
the general committee of the firemen TO
listen to complaints against Mr.. tavey
He said the men We're 40 wrought up
that they were preparing to carry the
matter "to the last iss,ie
you mean u strike?" said Mr. Carter.
The witness nodded.
He described one. big strong man as
being I'm tears" over the treatment he
said he had received. The men. he said.
complained of injustice ard ivra""v.
The petition of the men, he said. did
not reach the head of the road. The wit
ness said he. with committee of the
Men, had u conference with Mr.. Willard,
| resulting in doing away with most OF the
ills complained of.
Several other witnesses testified on
behalf of the firemsn in rebuttal.
One of them. j. &. Hamilton, "A fireman
on the Erie. declared that the work of a
fireman was much harder than formerly,
but he admitted that he made about the
best wages of any man on his division
That was, he said, BECAUSE he worked
unusually hard.
