,hld been read, the President went
| into details with the managers and
'a-ked numerous questions regarding
| the claims that they made. He also;
| demanded and received answers to
‘queslions that he already had pro
| pounded to the brotherhood represen
| tatives.
| It was admitted by many of the
| managers that today’s conference had
| been more satistactory than that held '
' yesterday,
President Determined.
l In discussing this phase, one of the
| managers said:
“Yesterday afternoon the President
’d!d not seem to have any settled idea |
'of what should be done. Today it
| was plain that he has accepted him
self as mediator between the roads
‘and the men and that he is deter
‘mined that ne will not let go until a
satisfactory solution i{s in sight. That !
is a hopeful sign for us, although it
may mean that we will have to stay
here for a few more day. We can not
say what has and is transpiring be
cauge 1t would be discourteous to the
President and might seriously inter
fere with the plans for settlement, but
we believe now that the President in
tends passing offer and counter offer
back and forth until he finds a way
that will meet the views of both sides.
The great danger, in my opinion, is
hot-headedness on the part of certain
of the labor leaders, who continue to
insist that they can not arbitrate the
eizht-hour day. But the President
today seemed confident that he waald
be able to prevent any precipitaxe'
signing of any strike orders.”
One of the big arguments which
Spokesman Lee and the other railway
managers used to the President today
was what they declared the physical
difficulties of putting an eight-hour
day into operation on railorads under|
present conditions. If it was jusi a
question of working the men eight
hours and then having them stop,
they said, they would willingly accept
the plan immediately,
Freight Runs Too Long.
But they heid that there was hardly
a division on any of the railroads in
the country that the employees could
cover a freight run in eight hours, and
because of this, they said, overtime
would have to be paid to almost every
freight employee. And under the
rules this overtime would have to be
at the rate of one and a half or double
time, thus greatly increasing operut-
Ing expenses.
*lme and apain, it is understood,
the managers insisted they would
gladly give the men a shorter work
day if possible. It was during this
discussion that the concrete proposi
tion to accept the eight or nine hour
work day in principle was brought ap
and the proposition m:de that the
roads would deglare for it if the men
would agree to have the manner of
making it effective, together with
overtime and the like, passed on to a
neutral arbitration board, o
After the conference broke up Q'ord
was sent to the brotherhood represen
tatives at their hotel to be prepared to
meet the President at 3 o'clock. They
declared that they would hold no ad
ditional conferences prior to that
time.
“We know where we stand today;
we knew where we stood yesterday,
and we know where we will stand to
morrow,” said A. B. Garretson, of Lhe
conductors, “and that is on the prin
ciple that we will not surrender our
hard-earned gains of 30 years at this
time.”
None of the officiais of the brother
hoods would discuss the propositien
of arbitrating the manner in which
the eight-hour day was to be put into
effect.
“We will have our say to the Preai
dent,” was all they wouid say,
Worried at Railway Attitude.
The President is admittedly espe
clally worrfed by reports that practi
cally all of the big railroads are
agreed that if the strike finally ma
terializes they will make no efforts to
enforce operation of trains by em
ploying strikebreakers It was esti
mated at the offices of the Board of
Mediation and Conciliation that about
10 per cent of the railroads involved
would lose their charters by not at
tempting to run trains. At the same
time it was stated that word had been
received on reliable authority that the
railroads will insist that they have
met all demands for wage increase
that they could without receiving in
ereased rates for the transportation of
merchandise.
“Twenty-four hours of such a strike
would cause more suffering than an
invading army,” said Judge Cham
bers, head of the mediation board, in
commenting on the situation, “I re
call a 24-hour strike on one compara
tively small railroad. Half a dozen
important hospitals wera without
milk, rates on various commodities
increased 100 per cent and great suf
fering resulted before that short time
was up. I ean not think that either
side in this dispute will be willing to
ghoulder thé awful responsibility of
bringing about such a state of af
fairs,”
Pmdfle‘ Lays Plans.
While the PostoMice Department is
studiously avoiding projecting itself
into the controversy at this time, it is
known that conferences are being held
and arrangements for quick aection
are being made In anticipation of a
suspension of railroad operation. It
was reported generally here today that
enough trains t% carry malls would be
manned by soldiers if the men did not
furnish the workers themselves. |
“In President Cleveland's adminis
tration there was a serious strike
which threatened to tie up the mails,”
sald Judge Chambers. “Opn that oc
casion the President said that if nee
essary he would use the entire United
States Army to take cars across the
country,”
~ Although there have been reports
that the entire strike situation is to
be referred to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for settlement,
this is not canfirmed by officials. It is
pointed out that the man will net tol
erate handling of the situation by an
;.:oncy not responsible to the "White

~ An amendment seeking to give the
‘Western and Atlantic re-leasing com
mission autherity to enter into nego
‘tiations for the sale of the State road,
In the event it is unable to make a
satisfactory lease, was offered in the
iHouse Tuesday to the Sehate bill to
authorize the extension of the road to
:the sea.
~ Speaker Burwell offered the amend
‘ment, took the floor and led a fight
for hig amendment. His only purpose
in offering the amendment, he said,
was to give the commission a free
‘hand to dispose of the praperty in the
‘most advantageous manner, just as
the directors of a privately owned
railroad would have. He declared he
did not believe at this time the peo
ple would vote to sell the road, but
he believed the commission should not
fbe tied with restrictions.,
Personally, he said he favored the
sale of the road. The State is not
getting 5 cents net revenue from it, if
everything that should be was
charged against it, he declared. A
‘study of the maps in the Railroad
Commission’s office will show that if
the N, C. & St, L. is taken away the
State road hasn't sufficient terminal
property to unload a bax car, he said,
“The road has already been paral
leled,” he continued. ‘“The anti-par
alleling act passed at the last session
is not worth the paper it was written
on, and some day the State will wake
up to the realization that its value has
been depreciated to such an extent
that it will be worthless.
“It is absurd to place a value of
$20,000,008 on the line from Atlat\a to
Chattanooga and think that an exten
sion can be built three times the dis
tance for $10,000,000.”
His amendment carried with it the
provision a sale contract should not
be closed until the people had voted
on the disposition of the proceeds, ‘
Representative Fullbright, of Burke, |
opposing the extension bill, eriticised
the anti-paralieling act. He predicted
an extension would be worthless,
pointing out the struggles of the A.,
B. & A. in that section.
Representative Elders, of Tattnall,
favored the extension of the road
and spoke in opposition to any effort
to sell it
Several minor amendments were
introduced. Representative Rich, of
Miller ,offered one to substitute “any
port on the '‘Gulf of Mexicp,” for the
Georgia ports named, pointing out
that it would put the extended State
road in closer touch with the com
merce of the Panama Canal.
Speaker Burwell has just econclud

vannah was too dry for them, 200
Eagles flew to Jacksonville last night,
leaving the Grand Aerie convention in
Savannah to get along as best it can
without them.
When Mayor Pierpont delivered the
address of welcome last night in the
Savannah theater hisses from several
parts of the packed theater greeted
him. These ceased, and there was no
further demonstration against him.
A rumor that 50,000 bottles of beer
were expected on an ocean steamer
from New York was going the rounds
among the Fagles today, but the Sa
vannah police state there is nothing
to this.
.. This morning at 10 a'clock the first
Grand Aerie session, for members
only, was held at the Savannah Thea
‘ ter at 10 o'clock, Grand Worthy Pres
ident William L. Grayson, of Savan
‘nah. presiding. l
Band concerts agre being held after
noon and night in the parks and
squares, and the visitors are having a
delightful time, in spite of prohibi
tion.
The weather has added much to the
Pleasure of the Eagles, as 88 was the
highest the mercury reached for the
last two days.

The City Board of Water Commpy.
sioners has notifieq City Coune
that the water department mys¢ has.
some $1,100,000 for New equipment or
Atlanta may wake Up some day ¢,
find its water supply cut off, and noy
leaders of the Council are planning
to submit a counter Proposition to
the hoard that they get this fund py
increasing watey rates
The special committee to which the
matter was referred by Couneij will
meet Tuesday afternoon. The mem.
bers of it are Edward H. Inman, Al
bert Thomson, J. R, Seawright, 4.
W. Farlinger and Jesse W, Armis- |
tead. Some of them have discusseq
the matter in an informaj way an
they have agreed that the only means
of securing the needed .funds is to
raise rates. -
There is no question that the de.
partment must have new equipment
as soon as possible, The city's de
mand for water has taxed all the re
serve pumping facilities, Pumps are
liable to break at any time. Severa
of them practically are worn out
Under the present budget system
the returns of the water department
8o into the general funq and ther
special appropriations are made t
the department. The proposal ¢f the
committes is to set aside al addi
tional returns from increased rates
and purchase with it the new equip
ment.
The water board has the author
ity to increase the rates. It’s mere
ly a question of policy, backed
by an emergency amount of nece
sity.
If Council recommends that the
rates be increased, the recommenda
tion probably will be followed
