coded in the railroads reply by the fol
lowing preamble:
The national conference committee
of the railways have carefully consid-
cred Your proposals and your explana-
tons and their meaning and INTENDED
application. In our judgment. no rea-
sons developed during our conference
to Justify the extraordinary changes IN
operating methods and practices and
the large expenditures for additional
facilities which your proposals IN
volved: nor was anything presented to
justify your requested radical revision
Of the established basis of compensa-
ton for men in engines, train and YARD
service. The present rates and rules
are largely the result of recent arbltra-
ton awards; and, in our judgment, now
provide for the men liberal compensa-
ton and favorable working conditions.
Moreover, the best obtainable estimates
indicate that to accept your proposal
would increase the cost OF operation on
the railroads approximately s1o0.oo0.0oo
a year, all Of which must eventually be
borne by the public.
I'VE are confident that you and the

RAILROAD MANAGERS

not only refused to make a specific offer
covering the compensation rules but adj
vised that their differences be submitted
either to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission or to board of arbitration to op-

Edith Storey and Antonio Moreno in
'The Shop Girl

Antonio Moreno is happily cast as
Peter, the son of a wealthy New
Yorker, supported by Edith Storey, in
C. N. and A. M. Williamson's novel,
'The Shop Girl" which Las just been
completed in picture form by the vi
tagraph company. Mr.. Moreno's dark
but regular features and well set up
physique gives to the character that
touch of aristocratic bearing that
makes it stand out with exceptional
realism. There is, perhaps, no actor
in motion pictures better suited to
wear a dress suit than Mr.. Moreno
and his appearance as society favor
lite in any picture lends distinctiveness
to any character of this nature he
assumes.
