U'mIIhm4 , Tnm rw . v utt have been reduced 12 per cent since July 1, there a no talk about k reduction of freight rate until thU rriiii. Now the railroad are at tempting to fain the (ympathy of the public by this late reduction of I ate. "The public never ould have re reived thii reduction vitlt the con tent of the railroads, had the rait roads not been confronted with this emergency." Besides Mr. Stone, others attend ing the conference were VV. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Kail toad Trainmen; L, E. Shcppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, and V. S. Carter, pres ident of the Urotherhnod of Loco motive Firemen and F.ntfinrincn. Says Srtike 100 Per Cent Establishment of open shop con citioni on the Tremotit & Gulf rail road and the strike yesterday, of trainmen on the International & Great Northern railroad were under discussion. President Lee stated that he had received reports that practically 100 per cent of the I. G. .V: trainmen had quit the service. . A subordinate leader, however, said that if it is correctly reported that the men on the Tremont & Gulf railroad have accepted open hhop conditions, it is due to the fact that they are rfew in number and have little hope of their resistance being successful. They intimated that this situation will be brought to the attention of the labor board Wednesday. - It was learned that the chiefs have received telegrams from many of the general chairmen reporting that they had been cited by the railroad labor board to appear Wednesday. ' It was said that in all approximately 1,000 officials of the unions and of the rail roads have been cited to appear. President Shcppard of the con ductors, commenting on the actlofl of the shop crafts in voting against joining the strike, said: "I do not construe their action to be a break with the brotherhoods. They are probably reserving to themselves, the right to take action ii) their own way." Discusses "Human Side." -Preside:-,; Lee of the trainmen is sued a statement on the "human side" of he railroad wage question, saying: ;"It is to be wondered whether the public really understands the fail way wage reduction question. There are more through freight brakemen thin all other train and yard service employes combined and this class of' service and the passenger Jfain employes represent the lowest rates of wages paid. "A through freight brkeman is paid $4.48 for an eight-hour day or 56 cents an hour. ,' If the proposed wage cut is made effective,- he will receive 51 cents or $4.08 a day. Pas senger service employes receive two cents an hour more and local freight and yard men receive a slightly high er rate. r'This means tha the bulk of the train service employes receive about $27 a week for a six-day-week and whatever A is earnedt above- that amount is through eitra' service. The service is paid for on a mileage basis but not on an eight-hour basis except for fr light runs; within 100 miles. Overtime is not paid on a stritcly eight-hour basis, except : in iyntd service and runs up to 100 miles. - i -'The low paid train and yard em ployes have to meet the same high cost of living that the public must meet. They are, asking only fair service conditions and a fair day's pay. .- .- - "The railroads do not tell the whole truth of daily wages paid when they quote higher amounts -of wages earned, because they do not say they represent time and extra time." , - French Troops Guard U.

Conditions in the wheat trade the world over do not favor an advance in prices of any importance in the imme'djate fu ture and it would be no surprise" to see values workjrregularly lower, as few close observers see it. ihe latter also say that corn and oats are selling s entirely too low- and should advance 510c and not be out of line. ' Wheat at present-prices is high as compared with corn and oats, as a few close observers see it, Wheat is a world proposition. while corn and oats are largely a domestic problem, as , the United States raises the greater part of the world's supply.
