Red AIoko and Alexander Isle were the
favorites in the 2.17 pace. Alexander
Isle maintained Il strong lead throughout
the first heat but made a poor getaway
in the second and third heats, passing
under the wire in fifth position in both
heats. Red Moko, after hard battle,

Peter L., of whom great things were eX
pected. made a break in the first heat
and came in fifth from which position he
never recovered in the subsequent two
heats, after which he was drawn.
The chief interest in the go trot and
pace was in the difficulty that the

Trial after trial was made without any
apparent improvement. As one observer

the two heats that followed. the race was
not particularly interesting, excepting
that Fuller's Miss Johanna Patchen
made Il strong showing passing under
the wire second in the first heat and
third in the second heat. Albert r. made
a strong getaway in both heats and had

SIGN AGREEMENT
PRESENT PAY AND RULES
ARE EMBODIED IN
PACT.
WAGE SCHEDULES FIXED.
WESTERN LINES AND RAILWAY
TRAINMEN COMPLETE
NEGOTIATIONS

Chicago forty-nine
roads west Of the Mississippi river,
embracing all the principal carriers in
this section, signed an agreement with
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men and the Order of Railway Con-
ductors, continuing the present rates
of pay and rules with some slight
| changes for another year. Negotia-
tions began between y committee OF
executives headed by w. NJ. LETTERS,
general manager of the Union Pacific,
and w. q. Lee, head of the trainmen,
and L. f. Sheppard, leader of the
conductors.
Only two main points were at issue,
Mr.. Lee said, and named the overtime
and rates Of pay. He said the discus
sion was friendly.
The brotherhoOds committees, it
was understood, virtually accepted
the propositions with the exception of
some slight changes in rules.
At present members of the train
mems and conductors organizations
receive time and one-half pay for over
time after the eight hours. The roads
have attempted to do away with this
punitive overtime and have argued this
dispute along with wage disagree
ments to the labor board. The two or
ganizations also have sought aid from
the board in disputes on these points.
Agreements reached, Mr.. Lee said pro-
vide for withdrawal of all such cases.
Mr.. Jeffers, while refusing to dis
cuss the meeting for publication, in
timated that the propositions were
mutually agreed to" and that new con
tracts were assured.
A decision on the plea of more than
100000 maintenance of way employees
for increased rates of pay, recently ar
gued before the United States Rail
road Labor Board by Il. f. Cradle,
president of the organization, is ex-
pected. This announcement was made
at the labor board after members had
worked all day on the case.
No statements We're, made on what
the decision might be, but it was gen
orally understood that the majority Of
the board favOrs increasing the pres
ent minimums of pay. ranging from 23
to B5 cents an hour.
