DEMANDS OF MEN
PARTIALLY Ora NrI;D

The demands OF tho men include an
eight-hour day, time and a half for
overtime and the retention of existing
methods OF double compensation for
different forms o! labor during the
one workday. The Contingent propo-
sition OF the railroads, while granting
the shorter workday and the increased
overtime. excludes the double com
pcnsation features. This exclusion has
been the cause Of the apparent disrup-
;ion of the conference.
1t was expected that the conference
would be finished to-day, but the uucs-
tons asked by the men regarding the
railroads counterproposition required
such complicated answers that
further adjournment was taken until
Tomorrow. w G. Lee, president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
took his seat at the conference table
to-day for the first time. lie tried at
first to smooth out the situation, but
when he fully understood the railroads
stand he became as irreconciiablc as
his fellows. II. y. Wheeler. vicc-presi-
dent of the Union Trust Company, of
Chicago and chairman Of the railroad
situation committee of the Chamber of
Commerce OF the United States, was In
troduced st the close of the session.
He pleaded for an amicable settlement
of the dispute. and declared his com
mittce was working to prevent a gem
eral strike. He said the Chamber OF
Commerce was cooperating to the full
est extent by seeking to have Congress
extend the powers OF tho Interstate
Commerce Commission to include the
regulation of the hours, wages and
working conditions OF railroad work

Chapel Hill, NJ c., Sept. 17.-Signal
practice was begun with the univer-

yesterday afternoon. The coaches
now expect to begin holding scrim-
images some time next week. About
forty men have been out on Emerson
Field during the past week, going
through the conditioning practice.
The training In fundamentals has been
very thorough, and many of the men
have already begun to show much
improvement. More men on the field
are badly needed. however, and the
fact that the squad has been small
so far has not given very much room
for optimism. 1t is hoped that the
beginning OF next week will see a
squad of at least the present num-
Der. The coaches held a meeting last
night to talk over the present candi-
dates and the football situation in
general.
