Committee of Six
Its Hands. No Agreement Reached
In Conference.
Strike is Hourly
PHILADELPHIA, P., July 14.
Whether a strike of the fifteen thou
sand conductors, trainmen, baggage
masters and yardmen employed on
the Pennsylvania lines east of Pitts
burg, Erie and Buffalo, shall be called
Is now In the hands of a committee
of six. headed by President A. B.
Garretson, of the Order of Railway
Conductors, and W. Q. Lee, president
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men. The conferences today between
the committee of railroad men and
General Manager W. Heywood My
ers, of the Pennsylvania railroad, re
sulted in no agreement and so far as
can be learned neither side conceded
anything to the other.
When the final conference was over
the committee representing the rail
road men riled out of the Pennsyl
vania offices, each member with a, se
rious face. None had anything to
say and the Pennsylvania railroad of
ficials declined to talk.
The railroad men later held a meet
ing and at Its conclusion President
Garretson announced that the 120
members of the general committee
who had been given power through
the strike ballot to brder 4 walk out
had unanimously voted to leave the
matter In the hands of a committee
of six. It was further given out that
this committee has the power of fix
ing the time the men shall quit work.
Just when a strike order might be
expected Mr. Garretson refused to
state. Thus the situation appears to
be at a critical stage, hut there Is
still hope among the railroaders that
a way will be found that will prevent
the men from going on strike.
The conferences were held today.
one at 11 a. m., and the other at S
p. m.
So far as can be learned neither
side had anything new to offer. The
railroad men insisted that they be
given a ten hour day with pay for
the eleven - hour rate bald by the
Pennsylvania. The company on the
ether hand again declined to concede
any, further than they had already
offered. Mr. layers. It Is said, de
clared that the company would give
the men the same conditions as those
under which the New York Central
