Brotherhood Men
Meet Hines To-day
Rail Director Is Seeking
to Compromise De-
n,01,dS on Overtin,e Paw


WASHINGTON, Nov. !0.--Represen-
tatives Of the four railroad bro her
hoods are o have conference here
tomorrow with Director General Hines
of the Railroad Administration about
some Of the qucs ions that have been
in negotiation for several months. par
ticularly the question of time and q
half for overtime for operating en-
ployees. 1t is said tonight on au
thorty that the conference was ar
ranged by Mr. Hines. and is not for
he purpose of discussing the coal
str'ke.
Mr.. Hines Is not willing to meet the
bro herhoods' dem; nds for substantial
ware increase at the present time. &C
cording to Administration officials. but
strong possibilities exist that some
small general increase may be offered
to the railway workers as sort of
temporary compromise. Insistence by
the brotherhood chiefs that their full
demands be met would result in fur
her complications, it is generally
agreed.
1t is probable that the coal strike
will be discussed. regardless Of the
object OF the Director General in call
ing the conference. A continued strike
would hit the train crews hard be-
cause bituminous coal is big freight
item on many roads and for that rea-
son the brotherhoods. while normally
friendly to the striking miners. at
heart may not be so anxious to see a
co-,~'ete soft coal tie-up.
The question of time and half has
been under discussion at many meet
ings between the brotherhood chiefs
and the railroad administration since
the government first took over the
roads and has been the subject of in
vestieation by man agencies of the
administration. Officials tonight wou d
no. predict how much it might mean

Commercial Club
Members Meet

Last Wednesday evening the char
ter members of the Commercial
Club, which has been dormant for
several months. held an informal
meeting to discuss ways and means
for rejuvenating the organization.
After short talks by different
members 1t was decided that A. L.
Scott, s. f. Whitney and c. A.
Thompson should act as commit
tee to canvass the city for new men,
bers. It was the opinion OF those
present that every business man and
property owner of Phoebe should be
banded together in a strong organ
ization for the common good.
1t is now settled fact that tho
coming summer will witness a great
mining revival throughout the west,
and 1t Is necessary that Phoebe be
we'll organized in order that the vast
mineral resources of this district
may be brought properly before the
mining public. This can be done
only through united effort, and it is
not fair to the workers that anyone
should stand idly by and shirk a
duty that Is put before them.
Not only your money but your
labor talks. When the committee
calls on you, get in line.
