When seen this morning. General
Manager Wilson said that he had nc
statement to make and would not
have until there were further develop
ments. This was construed as mean
ing that so far az the company is
concerned the conference this after
loon MI bec0nducted in an entirely
friendly spirit
Persons who are following the wage
situation closely are expressing the
hope that in view OF conditions gen
orally throughout the country. the
unstable economic conditions abroad,
and particularly the stand taken by
President Wilson and Director General
OF Railroads Hines in connection with
the wage requests OF the railroad
trainmen, shopmen, flremen, conduc-
tors and others, the local trolleymen
viii not force the issue by holding
out to the end for the maximum OF
their requests.
Many Of the employees themselves
do not hesitate to admit that the ten
cent an hour increase offered by the
company Is a reasonable compromise
when all the factors in the situation
are considered Certainly. 10 is point
ed out there are abundant signs that
he high cost OF living has about
cached its apex. and following the
suggestion OF President Wilson TO the
-ailroad employees the fairer thing to
do Is to await the return OF more
nearly normal conditions before any
lnal adjustments can be reached in
questions involving wages.
So far as is known the men have not
decided upon their course OF action II
his afternoons conference does not
result in a working agreement being
reached. A strike, il decided upon, 1t
Is understood, would still have to be
voted by the members Of the union
and sanctioned by the national organi-
zation with which the local Is affiliated.
Following the meeting at A. o. L. W.
Hall last night, at which the vote was
announced. Mayor Taylor. accompanied
BY John Edwards, OF the Trolleymen's
Union, went TO the offices OF General
Manager Wilson and explained what
action had been taken by the men. The
conference this afternoon was then ar
ranged for.
Members Of the local union this
morning said that while they could not
