rites Co, which some farmers in the

plant by approaching the company.
The directors say they believe the

withhold Judgment until after the court
through which they might seek dam
ages could pass upon their claims.
The directors did not 20 on record

seek whatever redress he sought IN the
proper manner, and that while not
favoring the corporation. the directors
do not feel that the industry should be
harassed. for what may prove TO be not
due TO its fault

PR. R. TOCO-OPERATE
WITH ITS EMPLOYEES
Will Give Workers Voice in Its
Affairs TO Bring About
Harmony.

Philadelphia. May 2f.--A plan for en-
p1oyes' representation 70 include all
branches Of the system. similar TO the
Joint reviewing committees established
some time ago for men in the engine
and train service. was announced last
night by Gen. w. w. Atterbury, vice.
president in charge Of operation Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The immediate purpose Of the plan Is
the election Of representatives TO nego-
tiate new rules and working conditions
under the recent decision Of the Federal
Railroad Labor Board, which terminates
the present national agreements July /.
Gen. Atterbury's statement TO the en-
pioyes quotes certain principles laid
down by the labor board and adds.
The railroads are asked to confer
with representatives Of the different
classes OF employees. with the view TO
establishing proper rules and reguia-
tions. This is precisely what the man
agement OF the Pennsylvania railroad
has desired.
The employees have the right TO select
their representatives from among their
own number.
Detailed conditions designed solely
desire of the employees. under which
representatives win be chosen, viii be
announced later.
The men thus selected viii be recog-
nized by the management as empowered
TO speak for the men by whom they are
chosen.
THE representatives chosen by the
employees may or may not be union
men, as the employees themselves de-
eide.
"As soon as the representatives are
elected. the officers will seek confer
ence with them, in order TO negotiate
rules and regulations.
The representatives so chosen viii
be protected in their position. no mat
ter what may be their attitude with ref
erence TO the provisions of such rules
and regulations. They viii be provided
with necessary transportation and the
company will reimburse them for time
lost and for reasonable expenses while
on their service.
The above applies 70 a union man,
as well as TO a non-union man.
While the immediate emergency to
be covered is the preparation of mutual
ly satisfactory rules and regulations, il
is the hope Of the management that the
men thus chosen as representatives may
serve as the nucleus OF committees
which shall frequently confer with the
officers on all matters, not only affect
ing your welfare, but also the welfare OF
the railroad and of the public"
saThe proposed plan will not affect the
Joint reviewing committee. by which
all controversial questions involving
fyair, and engine service EMPLOYEES are
nov settled. il was announced

AT a conference, late yesterday after

railroad, it was decided To inaugurate
the new summer schedule on Sunday,

porary arrangements will be made be-
tween Philadelphia and Wilmington to

company to operate such additional
local trains as may be necessary.

Philadelphia, to Atlantic City viii be ar
ranged TO coincide with the new day
light saving plan. If such service is
adopted by the PENNSYLVANIA railroad
IL will eliminate any possible layover at
Philadelphia. enroute from this city to
the shore resort.
An announcement was made yester-
day by the Philadelphia & Reading
railway that all trains on the Atlantic
city railroad between Philadelphia and
seashore points will be run one hour
earlier than the present schedule as
soon as the daylight saving becomes ef-
fectiye at the shore. On this road all
through trains between Atlantic City
and New York will be changed similar
ly.
Ii is expected that Baltimore and
Washington will also adopt the day.
light saving plan. thus putting it into
effect along the entire Atlantic seaboard
from Boston 10 the national capital.

offices here it was stated that the COM
pany is considering the matter and viii

atops on the streets came up in NUM-
cipal Court this morning with the ar
raignment of William III. Colt, motor
man of the Wilmington & Philadelphia

lations with regard to stops on Market

Utilities has the power to regulate the
street car traffic OF the city, so lar as
stops are concerned. The case was con-
tnucd until Wednesday.
Deputy Judge Lynn voluntarily ms
ouailned himself to sit in Judgment of
the case. When informed as TO the
purpose of the hearing he stated that
he had appeared before the Public
Utilities Board several times to urge a
change i'm car stops and expressed
sentiments in favor of having the cars
stop on Market street before turning
into Fourth and Tenth. He estimated
that at least 40 trolleys an hour stop
mt Fourth and Market streets TO dis
charge passengers, and could not under
stand how the additional cars would
seriously impede traffic. People COM
ing into the city ON the Shellpot car
