CLASH IMMINENT IN
LABOR CONFERENCE
Railroads Sure to Contest
Every Point Made by
Employees.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Every point
in the demands made by the
four leading organizations Of railroad
employees upon virtually all the rail
lines Of the United States for a basic
eight-hour working day Will he sharp
ly contested, it became apparent here
Friday at the second conference be-
tween the fifteen official representing
the roads and the delegates Of the
labor organizations.
Acting AS spokesman for his assist
ants. a. H. Garretsop, president Of
the Order Of Railroad Conductors,
read into the record the formal re-
quest for an eight-hour day and the
supplementary demands Of the men.
Sharp Disputes.
AS each clause was read Elisha Lee,
chairman of the railroad committee,
and his assistants asked questions de-
signed to bring out its exact meaning
There were several sharp disputes as
to present working conditions.
The employees made it clear that in
their demands for an eight hour day
they would not submit to any reduc-
tioD in the present wage scale for
nine, ten or more hours.
II also was said the men were not
ANXIOUS for overtime. one of the
labor delegates asserted they would
be well satisfied with eight hours

Eight-IIour Law Up.

One of the most difficult points to
settle, apparently, will be the eight
hour day, as it applies to train crews.
Freight traffic only is involved with
time TO be based on length of run and
mileage per hour.
Mr. Garretson in his explanation of
the clause affecting trainmen said
that under the proposed system they
would get ~ cents per hour for over
time instead of 30 cetts as at pres
Cnt He asserted that overtime is
largely controllable factor when it
comes economic and that under the
new system demanded the days pay
wculd remain virtually the same and
that only the conditions of obtaining
It would be changed.
Discussion OF the proposed hours OF
work and pay for overtime for switch
ing crews and the hostler forces also
took up some time. Mr.. Garretson
explained that conditions on various
roads were not uniform and that the
men wanted them standardized.

Second Largest in County.

The East Flat Rock graded school
was opened Monday with an attend
ance of 127. which will be greatly in.
creased as soon as all the children
get in.
a number Of visitors were present,
among whom were Rev. A. Burgess of
the East Flat Rock Methodist church,
who read a scripture lesson and made
most helpful talk to the children.
Rev. Mr.. Green. of Florida, superan-
nuated minister who spends each sum-
mer at his summer bungalow at Flat
Rock, was also present and lead in
most appropriate invocation. Rev. E.
L. Miller. of Greenville, S. c., a visitor
IN the community, gave a very inter
esting talk and told the story of the
hardships of school life in a remote
inland section of Africa as told him
direct from the lips of missionary in
that country. The comparison as
drawn by Mr.. Miller between that
heather, brutal treatment of children
in the method of teaching them their
few crude, bookless lessons of work
and the happy hopeful opportunities OF
the schools in our christian land was
most pointedly emphasized and it ap-
peared would subserve to awaken the
latent energy of every child present
and cause every heart to beat anew
with determination to make the very
best of his golden opportunity in
school days.
