RAILROAD MEN IN
 LABOR DISCUSSION
Employers Confer With Representa- tives of Conductors, Trainmen,
 Engineers and Bremen.

New York, June 1.-The first joint conference between the representa- tives of the railroads of the United States and their conductors, train men, engineers and firemen, for set clement of the differences over the employees working hours and wages was begun here today in executive session. Both sides expressed conh- dence in an amicable adjustment.
 The principal question is whether the employees are entitled to an eight hour basis work day-ten hours pay at the present rate for eight hours of service. Over time pay is also in vOlved.
 Against these demands the rail- roads have submitted propositions rel ative to the way compensation shall be paid to different classes of service.
 Elisha Lee, chairman of the com mittee of nineteen managers repre- senting the roads, was appointed tenn porary chairman of the joint confer ence today.

MUNICIPAL ICE, WHAT?
City Has 5000 Tons at Shuttle Mead ow But Nobody Is Buying-Mayor Reported Pccved.

After all the hullaballo at the city
 meeting last winter. when the mayor rushed the municipal ice house ap- propriation through on the ground
 that he was saving the babies from diseases too numerous to mention, comes the information on June 1,
 that not one of the 5000 tons stored
 at the Shuttle Meadow house has been
 sold. In fact it is reported that ice
 dealers are not even inquiring for the
 city's crop let alone buying Those
 who had experience with municipal
 ice last year haven't forgotten it was a
 losing venture and others profiting by
 that experience are not interested.
 Inquiry at the water department to-
 day brought the information that a
 few dealers had talked about the mu-
 nicipal ice, but to date that is as far as the business has gone. It is under
 stood that the mayor has been in qliring about the ice and when he learned that the water department had not sold any he intimated that some hurry up action was in order or he would take it away from the depart ment and sell it himself. This it will be rem enl bered, was done by his honor
 last year. He sold the entire crop to Edward A. Rhoades at what was thought to be a good profit, but the bargain proved otherwise as Rh oades failed to make good and the city had to peddle the ice out to anybody who would take it. Whoever buys the ice has to guarantee the city that it will be sold at retail for not more than thirty cents a hundred pounds
