That's all. We never had any
trouble with the convict from that

thinking, and all at once it came to
me what was the matter with Big

a really elemental human situation
before-that's all; nothing that show

fact that men are brothers. He was

WESTMINSTER MAYORS
TERMS ARE SpURNED
Strikers Say Plan Must Include
Third Avenue System.

Independent or divisional settlement
Of the car strike now in progress from
the Third Avenue lines 10 Yonkers re-
ceived a setback yesterday, when Sam
uel Hoey, president Of the joint com
mittee of striking uniformed employees
Of the northern strikers, refused the
proposed arbitration plan OF the
Mayors Of Yonkers, New Rochelle and
Mount Vernon. President Mahon, for
the strikers of New York City, also re
fused similar offer from Vice-Presi-
dent Edward Maher of the Third Ave
nue. Railroad on the same grounds. The
strikers said they would consider only
a plan including the entire Third Ave
nue. system. It is considered that the
further enrolment of men into the
union is the reason for refusal Of sep
arate agreements.
Former employees of the Yonkers
Railroad" were notified by a notice
posted in the Yonkers car barns yes
terday that the Travellers Insurance
Company had ceased payments on poll
ces held by them under a group ar
rangement. Under the terms of these
policies insurance was obtained at a
low rate. the railroad company paying
part of the premiums. II the full pre-
miums are paid by the holders the pol
icies will be continued.

CRUCIAL GARMENT
FARLEY TO-DAY
Employers and Strikers to
Hold Conference After
Three-Day Discussion.

Announcement that several confer
ences between employers and strikers
in the garment trade have taken place
in the last few days was made last
night. indicating that the deadlock be-
tween the two parties has again been
broken. The bulletin is worded as fol-
lows:
morris Eillquit, on behalf Of the
International Ladies Garment Makers
Union, and William Klein and LOUIS
G. Levy, on behalf Of the Cloak, Suit
and Skirt Manufacturers Protective
Association, announce that conferences
have been held on Sunday, Monday
and Tuesday, at which several aspects
Of the proposed arrangements between
the parties were discussed. Eacn slae

another conference vii. be held to-
morrow"
This conference is quite apart from
that which was 70 nave been held yes
terdey morning at Cay Hall, but when
was postponed until 2:l5 o'clock this
afternoon by Mayor Mitchell az the
request Of the Unfed States Depart
me.N Of Labor, so that the three re-
Gently appointed government conellia-
tors, Ethelbert Stewart. John A. Mot

that manufacturers supply them with

field, labor adjustor for the American
Clothing Manufacturers Association. OF

was "a fizzle." OF $50 odd shops, ne
said, less than fifty had experienced
trouble up 20 l o'clock yesterday after
noon.
In contradiction OF this statement,
Isaac Fleischer, manager Of the United
Coat Contractors Association, OF l5i

l40 shops were closed. with Brooklyn
and East New York, where nearly
quarter Of the shops are located, YET

The statement as prepared by Mr..
Mahon shows that in New York City

cents and increase TO 81 the next year,
q the third and fourth, and 29h on
the fifth and succeeding years. Con-
ductors start ut % cents and in 1--WE
years reach 1914 cents
This maximum rate Of 29A cents
compares with a maximum Of SO cents
in Pittsburgh and Chicago, "a cents in
Boston, Detroit, Albany, Troy and
Cleveland. and 81 cents in Philadel-
phia. In Boston the mems contract
calls for 34% cents next year and
35h cents in 1918. In Cleveland the
rate becomes 80 cents next year.
In addition the men in other cities
have shorter work day-that is 70
say, they complete their days work
within a shorter period than is the
case here. For example, rs per cent
of the runs in Boston must be such
that man is clear after eleven hours,
with fourteen hours as the maximum
limit in which he can earn days pay.
Here, il is asserted. some Of the men
have their work spread over an eigh-
teen-hour period.

The Mystery of the War Bond

venture and mystery which began 10

Eleanor VI. Beebe and Miss Maude

themselves as the elder mans sec

of the bond and his fathers household
furniture was met by stanch refusal,

If have been unable 10 learn from
Miss Beebe or Miss Richardson any

delivered to me were denied. When

Street and presented her with writ

After Sanford's story OF the mystery

whereby differences between the men

asked the Mayor
Company Won't Settle.
"No." replied Mr.. Maher, emphatical-
ly. because there is no question to ar
bitrate. except in regard TO Westches-
ter lines. There is nothing affecting
Manhattan and The Bronx that we are
willing to arbitrate.'
"How do the men feel about arbi-
tration - the Mayor asked Mr.. Mahon.
III the company will recognize the
union" said its president. Eve are

we could arbitrate that question. II

"The company" said Mr.. Maher,

whether or not the men have a right

members Of q union. come to US as in

Suppose, suggested the Mayor,
Chat it were possible 10 treat with
them collectively and not as a union"
u cannot conceive of that possibil-
ity." replied Mr. Maher. The Mayor
then suggested that it might be posi-
bic TO submit the wage question to
disinterested third parties, but in the
light Of the company's determination
not to treat with an organization OF
its employees Mr.. Mahon raised the
point as to who the company would
treat with on such an arbitration.
Mr.. Mahon maintained that if the

FOR VACATIONS
Denied Exemption from Duty of
Flagging Trains at
Crossings.

Following three weeks OF arbtra-
ton, more than 5000 New York Cen
trail telegraphers. towermen and station
agents were yesterday awarded in
creases in wages from 3 TO 10 per cent,
annual vacations, with full pay, Of from
seven to ten days, and double pay in
certain divisions for all services per
formed on Sundays or holidays. The
men were denied exemption from the
duty of tagging trains at certain cross
ings, and also were refused extra pay
for attending street gates, pumps and
switch lamps.
In addition. $50 employees OF the
Nickel Plate Railroad were affected. re,
ceiving an per cent increase and
double pay for Sunday.
The Board Of Arbitration. which
acted under the Federal law known as
the Newlands act. was composed Of
Harry K Daugherty, attorney. OF Grove
City. Penn. neutral arbitrator and
chairman; +. J. Manion, OF San Fran
cisco, vice president OF the Order OF
Railroad Telegraphers, and W. J. Frlpp,
general manager Of the New York Cen
trail Railroad.
No Lawyers in Case.
Public hearings were held at the Ho-
tel Manhattan, and no lawyers were
used by either side in presenting their
cases.
II. B. Perham, veteran president OK
the Order of Railroad Telegrsphers,
was in charge of the employees case
assisted by T. NJ. Pierson and com
mittee. r. W Evans, of New York,
and A. S. ingalls,, of Cleveland, assist
ant general managers of the New York
Central lines, East and West, handled
the case for the company.
Employees affected will be under
uniform vacation rule, giving seven
DAYS vacation with full pay TO all
working more than nine hours day

vice for one year and ten days vaca-
ton with pay for employees who. have
served three years working nine hours
day. Employees working nine hour:
or less day will get vacations OF
seven days with pay after they have
been in the service two years.
Arbitration Successful.
The telegrsphers, through a commit
tee. made demands for increased pay,
vacations and overtime payment last
December. The demands we're rejected
by the company. A meeting OF the
employees committee and company ON
Gals was held in February, but no
agreement was reached. The teiegra-
piers union officers set May as the
date for a general strike. The COM
psny responded by distributing strike
breaking employees along its lines TO
prevent a tie-up.
At this juncture the United States
Board of Mediation and Cancellation at
Washington sent Secretary g. ". ".
Hanger here, who. after protracted ef-
forts with he contending parties. sue
ceeded in securing an agreement Ior
arbitration, which was signed by ootn
sides June 10. The hearings were ar
ranged under the Federal law to com,

award being set at August l.
