Train Men Resent Evasion.

New York, June 23.-At the
eight-heur conference, last week,
between railroad managers and
their train service employees, the
former were notified in plain lang
uage that no dodging tacticts would
be tolerated. The fireworks start
ed when Grand Chief Stone of the
engineers asked Elisha Lee, the
railroad chairman, about the appli-
cation of a proposed rule which the
latter said would not reduce the
workers pay The answer was
not satisfactory and A. B. Garret-
son, the conductors executive,
turned to the railroad manager
and said
1--WE want you to lay your cards
on the table as to what you mean
in your position.
"Our cards are on the table, !"
replied the railroad executive.
If so, they are all blank cards"
said the unionist.
''For two days you have fred
questions at US, broke in Mr.,
Stone. "Yau have asked us about
cases that might come up once in
a hundred years. We have given
you straight answers. Now we
ask you one question and we get
no satisfactory reply.
For three days you have run a
question box, said Mr.. Garretson
=" and we have run the whole gamut
or what our proposals mean.
There has never been an iota OF
hesitation IN Our answering your
ques tions and there has never been
a refusal TO reply-our answers
have been in good faith. Now,
when you are on the gridiron, the
first thing met with is failure to
give us any specific application of
what we intend to arrive at-that
IS, comparative cost.
Il was ther decided that the uu-
ionists could later ask all questions
they wished to be answered.
"All right" said Mr.. Garretson,
I'VE intend TO give you series of
questions like you gave us. We
are going to draw our conclusions
therefrem, the same as you drew
conclusions from our answers"
