it seemed "as II these men are trying to
wreck the union"
Statements were made to represen-
tative Of The Star last night by COM
mittee representing the strikers and by
President Colin H. Livingstone. vice
inert and other officials of the railroad.
Much of the controversy seems to hinge
on the date on which the wage sched-
ule, when adopted. will be enectlVe.
President Livingstone said that at the
suggestion of President Gompers of the
A. F. of L. on Friday afternoon and in
the presence of Representative Z. =.
Carlin he Givingstone) agreed 1or
the company to waive all discussion as
to this date and allow the schedule as
taking effect May /.
This date had previously been agreed
upon (AprI 80 in a conference between
the\employes. At the time there was
an agreement to settle the matter by
conference within ten days. 1t was
stipulated by him at that time, Mr- LlV-
ingstone says. that this agreement as 10
the date of May | was only on cond1-
tion that the matter would be adjusted
without recourse to arbitration. Even
after the differences went to arbitra-
tion. it is stated by President Living
stone, he obligated the road. in state
ment to MIR. Emmert. as arbitrator for
the road, and James OConnell, presi-
dent of the Metal Trades Union. as
arbitrator for the employees, to allow
the wage schedule to take effect May
Is. This was submitted to the men by
their arbitrator.
Mr.. Livingstone says that in his
agreement Friday afternoon in con-
ference with Mr.. Gompers and Repre-
sentative Carlin, when he agreed to
May /. he stated that this was only on
condition that no further concessions
would be asked than those laid down in
the agreement to arbitrate. Mr.. Com
pers. he says, at that time assured him
in good faith that the operation of the
road would be resumed.

Asks Protection of Rolling Stock.

He then suggested getting proper
protection for the rolling stock and
other property of the road. and was
assured that this would not be neces-
sary. In spite of this. he claims, six
cars have been disabled. Some of the
strikers claim, on the contrary. that il
they are asked to move these cars
they can do it without much trouble -
Some of the objections raised by the
strikers in their bill of complaint are ex-
planned by the officials as due to the pc
culiar conditions on the line. which is
single tracked to Bluemont and double
tracked with steep grades to Great Falls
They say the men object to being shifted
from one run to another, but that this
has to be done in order to keep the men
at work.
A new complication is interjected into
the troubles by the reputation of the
strikers by the labor union officials.
The railroad officials have been salts
fed, it is stated. to treat with them as
members of recognized labor organi-
cation. and have agreed to arbitration
of differences on this basis. but they
feel they cannot do this any longer.
Mr.. Livingstone said fast night: "Of
course, as they are no longer a recog-
niZed labor organization we cannot
treat with them on the same basis.
That materially alters conditions"

Statement of Grievances.

A statement by committee represent
last night as follows:
Since the organization of the Wash :
ington and Old Dominion railroad it has
been under its present management.
More or less friction has existed and it
has been impossible, when any differ
ence arose, for the employees to have an
opportunity of taking the matter up
with the management.
Employees have often been subject
ed to penalties and laid off without pay,
when the matter might have been ad-
justed. The management however
acted arbitrarily.
The result of these conditions was
the organization of a union and pre-
sentins of demands to the company
for better working conditions, hours,
salary. etc. The demands were reject =
ed and April strike was called
which continued until April s. when an
agreement was entered into to adjust
this period of ten days frequent con-
ferences were held between the com
mtttee Of the union and officials of the
company, but nothing definite was
done.
Just prior to expiration of this time
limit another agreement was entered
into by which the company recognized
the union. This provided for arbitra
ton.
Two meetings were held under this
agreement. when notice was served
upon members of the committee that il
would b. useless to hold any further con-
ferencea

Cars Reported Disabled.

officials say that there are 155 men on
strike and that one car has been disabled
at 36th and NJ streets and five at Blue

but for the assurance of American Fed
Grafton of Labor officials that this would
be unnecessary. The railway officials are
emphatic in acknowledgment that the
federation officials are in no way at fault
for existing conditions, but that the strik
ers. who have now been repudiated by the
labor organization, are entirely to blame
incidentally, it is learned that the
strikers filed petition signed by all
the strikers and several officials of the
union calling upon the owners of the
line to discharge W. B. Emmert vice
president and general manager of the
line, and to appoint a new executive.
This the owners ignored. Then an at
torney wrote notifying the owners that

ceptable and also whether Judge

select some one to act in his place, as
he informed the other two members of
the board he would be unable to take
the matter up for month or six
