Committee of fl?e l?tOf BMI and OOS?

\ i< president. i?f the street railway
company. The officer* of the com?
pany imjuir? d if the employes hail any
gri? a-* th. y did at the meeting
last Saturd i> night.
It was rumored that there was dis?
satisfaction in regard to ihe meth?
od of counting the m.-jo \ when turn?
ed in at night, and the committee
wan asked if th< -? u < ?? > ' ? "Mii-la.ni
on that account. Th< committee
stated that there was nothing in the
runn>r and that the uo-th -d "f receis -
ing and cunting um money hrough
a caahler at nl^ht was satisfactory.
The eonimitt*MJ repr.-s, ntlng the eni
pl H/SSJ suggested that th? method pJ

to their runs he nv?dllled. so that the
men could c boost ie lines nn which
to w(?rk according to tloir length of
service with the company.
The officers of th?- c -mpany agreed
to the change.
The committee proposed that in?
spectors should Immediately notify
motormen and < onduetors of any vio?
lation of rules. The Impracticability
of this change was discussed, and
it was agreed that the Inspectors
should n ?tlfy lite employes as soon
as practicable, but not later than the
return trip to the transfer station.
This modific ttloi. was satisfactory to
both the > ommtttee and the company.
The representatives of the com?
pany stated that they understood that
an Increase of ;>ay was desired and
asked what Increase the committee
thought would be right. The commit?
tee said that they considered that an
increase of two cents per hour per
man should be made.
The company's representatives stat?
ed thAt the company would make an
agreement with the motormen and
conductors for the increase of two
cents per hour to begin on January
1 next and prevail for two years from
that date.
The committee of employes said
that the terms were satisfactory but

should be signed providing for arbitra?
tion of all matters that may arise in
the future and tnat no employe shall
be discharged without the approval
of the officers of the Amalgamated
Association, and in case of disagree?
ment providing for arbitration.
The representatives of the compare
stated that the company would sign
an agreement with the motormen and
conductors covering the matters
agreed upon at the meeting but would
not sign an agreement with the
Amalgamated Association, and would
not sign the written agr? enn-nt sort
the compsny by the Amalgamated as?
sociation.
The committee asked for a state?
ment from th. < M | ir \ as to Its at?
titude In regard to the employes
maintaining their organization. The
portion of the company, outlined hy
the officers, was now. as It ha?< b?-en
for m?ny years, that tin.mpany did

Incident* today us he travelled
through West Virginia und Western
Pennsylvania, t?niy at Plttaburgh to?
night did he speak indoors, hut
ihi tughout the day ths Democratic
pn aldentlal nominee faced a fabric
o; umbrellas undeneath which stood a
multitude Of enthusiastic people.
'I dn't want to keep you stand
|ng in the rain."' said the Governor
a wheeling, aa he lagan to abridge
his speech.
'No, no; go mi," urged the crowd
"Perhaps l had better make my
speech as dry as possible then to
counteract the effect of the rain,"
saggested the nominee.
The QoVernOf had to make his a*ay
>Ugh a Jail at Clarksburg, W. Va.
to reach the speaking stand.
"1 have been paid a Splendid com
pliment," he told the crowd. "1 have
appeared t<> you by way of the Jail,
hut I escaped incarceration; I think
some of toy friends hail a writ of
habeas eojpu.s which enabled me to
be bete."
The Governor found a big turn?
out everywhere, notwithstanding the
drizzle of rain, which fell most of
the day. He pleaded to the local
Ot ngsttteenieg not to insert any more
?peechct than were originally sChedul
? d, but was only partly successful.
Tb.- nominee appeared on the plat?
form at all stops, however, and chat?
ted and shook hands with those in
the crowd nearest him. OlICO a white
haired, bent idd man made his way
with dithVulty to the end of the car
and attempted to talk to the Governor,
above the uproar of cheering. The
nominee took the outstretched hand
and bent his head ? lose to hear.
"Governor, I'm 8;l years old," said
the man. "and I've Waited til these
years for you."
The Governor said tonight he was
very much touched by the sentiment.
"It's one of the deepest compliments
that has ever been paid me," he re?
marked.
At Wheeling the noralfl i was oud

I was a corner on prosperity in the
country." and that he had "a very
definite notion as to how the whole
population >f the Cnited States should
have aeeeaS to its own prosperity."
He began to discuss the trusts and
monopolies then, but stopped short.
"1 am a little hampered/' he said.
"In discussing this part of the ques?
tion, because 1 have denied myself the
privib ge at present of discussing
anything that concerns the third
party. As long as Mr. RoOOOVOlt is
confined to the hoaplta] in Chicago, i
shall have nothing to say about the
third party. Hut 1 want to say this
