THE ELM GROVE STRIKE.
Tho Trades Assembly's Arbitration
Committee and tho Road's Officers
Were In Conference Twice Monday,
"Without Arriving at a Settlement*
The efforts Inaugurated Sunday night
and early Monday morning by the arbitration
committee of the Ohio Valley
Trades and Labor Assembly to bring
about an amicable settlement of the
differences existing between the management
of the Wheeling & Elm Grove
Railroad Company and the striking
operators and conductors, were continued
yesterday without result.
It was expected the arbitration committee
would meet with General Manager
Wright, of the Elm Grove, at 9
o'clock In the morning, but the conference
did not begin until 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. It lasted until 4 p. m., when
the committee reported back to the Elm
Grove employes, who were In session at
Trades Assembly hall. Later In the day
another conference was held; this one
began at 9 o'clock and lasted untH 11:30
o'clock last night. It, too, was without
result.
Although the members of the arbitration
committee were reticent as to what
was proposed at the conference. It Is
learned that the men held out for the
twenty cents an hour proposition, and
that the company was equally determined
for granting only eighteen cents
an hour. The arbitration committee
suggested that the road pay eighteen
cents an hour until June 1, after which
the rate of wage would be twenty cents
an hour. This was not looked upon
with favor by Mr. Wright, and he came
back with a counter proposition that the
rate be eighteen cents for one year, and,
If at the end of one year conditions justified
it, the wages would be increased
to twenty cents an hour. This proposition
was not received with favor by the
men.
Another conference between Mr.
"Wright and the arbitration committee
will be held this afternoon nt 2 o'clock.
The Elm Grove company operated six
cars yesterday. The service terminated
for the day at 7 p. m.
WAITED ON MR. PETERSON.
The Wheeling Railway Company's
-men File Their Request for Higher
Wages With the Vice-President of
the Company?A Copy to Pres. Con(lerinan.
Yesterday afternoon shortly after 2
o'clock a committee of the motormen
and conductors of the Wheeling Railway
Comnany waited upo*i Vice President
B; w. Peterson,at the Dollar bank,
and handed In their request for nn increase
In wages from sixteen cents to
twenty cents per hour. Another copy
of the request was mailed to President
T. H. Conderman, at Philadelphia.
The request Is accompanied by an
ultimatum. In which the company Is
asked to give an answer to the wage request
before Friday night at 12 o'clock.
It does not follow, however, that the
men will go out on strike at that time
If a satisfactory answer is not received.
In fact, It is said to be the declared policy
of the Wheeling company's workers
to move slowly and conservatively, foi
lowing strictly the letter and spirit of
the laws of their national union, which
require that every possible effort at settlement
be made before a strike Is Inaugurated.
ANION'S EASTER BAIiti
Inaugurated tlio Post-Lenten Season
Ijast Evening.
The Arlon signalized the ushering in
of the post-Lenten season last night
with its annual Easter Monday concert
and ball. The concert was more than
usually line, and rendered In the presence
of a large attendance, the affair
concluding with.dancing, which lasted
until an early hour this morning.
The concert programme was performed
under the direction of Prof. H.
M. Shockey, the director of the singing
section. The opening number was an
overture by the Onera Holism orrhostm
which appeared in several other selectors.
and furnished the music for the
dancing. Miss Flora "Williams sang
i two solos In characteristically ilnlshed
fashion. "A Summer Night," and "The
Swallows."
Mr. H. F. Paul sang effectively a
tenor solo, "Ave Maria," and Mr. F. J.
DIegmlllor, bass, sang a solo in German.
The Arlon singing section appeared
to advantage In three choruses.
One of the most pleasing features was
the Instrumental work of the Philharmonic
Trio, and the performers were
showered with enthusiastic applause.
Encores throughout the programme
were the rule.
Luncheon was served about midnight
In the club's dining hall, after which
dancing was resumed. Those who didn't
care for this pastime whiled away the
hours with cards and kindred diversions.
The success of the affair rellects
credit on the following committee:
Messrs. A. C. Schneider. Harry
Hitter, Louis Laue, Mat Kovalan and
Theodore "Westmyer.
