Washington, Jam s.—President
Finley, Manager of Transportation
Seal, and the general superintendents
of the Southern railway were In con
ference today with a committee rep
resenting the conductors and train
men of the Southern, concerning a
request made by the men for an In

20 per cent. The meeting is one of
the annual conferences which take
place between the officials and the
trainmen of the system to determine
any grievances the latter may have
and to consider any question of
wages, It probably will be two or
three days before tbe question of pay
and other matters in conference will
be adjusted, fhc men say they are
compelled, to ask tho Increase on ac
count of the Increased coet of living.
ANOTHER COLD SPELL

BETTER DEFENSE

STRONG PROBABILITY THAT EF

Owing to the recent rumors of a

probability that efforts will be made
in the near future to have increased
the forces manning the coast defen

entire country." It may he that the
defenses will also be increased. In
addition It is being recommended that
tho Philippine Islands be bettor pro

I The timber basin to be erected at
