ARBITERS SETTLE
FIRST THREE
POINTS
Sustains Employes on Some
but May
Disappoint Platform Men
REPORTED TO HAVE
REACHED DEADLOCK
The Board of Arbitration selected to
adjust the difficulties as to wages and
hours between the carmen and the
United Railroads Js nearing the end
of its labors. Chief Justice Beatty
hopes that the board will have ar
rived at its conclusions In the last case
by Saturday, but there is a strong prob
ability that it will be found that more
time will be necessary, as Father
Torke and Major McLaughlin are at
a. deadlock over the claims of the car
men.
The flret three cases have been dis
posed of already, and the findings of
the board are ready for submission on
the disputes of • the electricians, the
trackworkers and the stationary fire
men. While these three decisions have
not been made public, it is understood
oa good authority that they are all
favorable to the Claims of the men
concerned. '_" ;>?i ":
Apparently there is less hope for the
carmen — motormen and conductors — I
being &s successful in their requests
for {3 and eight hours. This Is the
question which Is prolonging the de
liberations of the board and the indi
cations at present are that the find
ings will not Include all that the men
have asked. Major McLaughlin has
stood firmly against the men, and all
the persuasion and argument of Father
"Forks have not moved him. This leaves
the decision with the umpiring arbi
trator. Justice Beatty, and the indica
tions are said to be that be will not
£ive the men the advance In wages j
And also limit their hours of 'work to
eight. £
The board met this week on Tuesday
and Wednesday and is to meet again
today. There is a possibility that it
will finish on Wednesday.
Among the men there is a . feeling
that' if they caji get s the increase in
wages at this time from the arbitra
tors, they wiHj.be able to secure legis
lative action later which will fix the
hours of work at eight. They feel that
the sentiment in favor of the eight
hour law is becoming fixed, and that
the" most important thing at this time
is an increase in their pay in fitting
for the more arduous duties that have
been forced upon them by the company
and the higher cost of living which
they have had to meet.

CHILD IS CRIPPLED BY
CARELESS MOTORMAN
Gladys Scott the
Victim of Fast
Trolley Gar ~
Woman's frivolous words," the equal
ly aimless and out of place prattle of a
motorman and a' penchant for speed
down steep hills, born of a carelessness
that has recently: been nursed by cer
tain of the .employes of the United
Bailroa'ds,, caused a little girl .to" be
crippled for life yesterday morning. ' "
Gladys Scott, child of a hardworking
carpenter, who recently came.' to. the
city from San- Jose, was .struck'down at
the corner of Thirty-ninth and/ Point
Lobos avenues by car No. 563. The. pain
that the little one will; suffer during
her" confinement, in the hospital, 'and
the crippled right foot that will make
her lame for the rest of her life, were
warnings to j". parents V of • children .who
attend the Bbgart. school.; In .Thirteenth
avenue, that they must look sharp that
their youngsters are not' crushed under
the wheels of streets cars run- by, men
who seem to give small heed? to public
comfort or safety, and who; sometimes
ride with death at ;the controller and
sometimes court the reaper, ln the quiet
sanctum of the inner business office.'-..
Gladys Scott lives at 490 Thirty-ninth
avenue. She left .her ;; home at 4 8:1^
o'clock, and in the bright morning sun
light ran with the eager spirit of- an
8-year-old girl to the crosslngat/Thir
ty-ninth avenue, where she awaited! the
coming of the car that usually took (her
to the door of her, school. She picked
her way through the muddy street to
ward the right hand side of the road
way^ and just then the. Clement; avenue
car came over the brow of the hill.* r 'l. -'"
According to witnesses who were on
and off the, car,, the motorman -was
flirting with a woman, with whom he
had been making eyes and passing^ re
marks. He did not have his eyes on
the tracks,. or if he did he was careless
of the responsibility that rested ' with
him in giving attention to the brakes.
The car shot ahead with terrific speed,
and although the schoolgirl was In
plain sight of the motorman. he* either
did not see her or he thought he had
plenty of time to stop before he reached
the crossing.' ' •
Gladys became confused and started
to run across the' tracks. The car
whisked by her, struct tier down and
ran over her foot, crushing It so badly
that "amputation of' several of the toes
was found necessary when the child
was removed to the hospital." The car
ran fifty «f eet ahead yof the stopping*
place, so great was its momentum..
On the car. were Harry . Ma'xr of 4500
Point Lobos avenue and R. - Fitzgerald
of 435 Forty-fourth avenue, iwho par
ticularly noticed the" cause of the acci
dent Other witnesses were Mrsl Alice
McQuaid and -a Mrs. Trowbridge, whose
little son, Marvin Trowbridge, • attends
the same school that Gladys attended.
These persons said that the car was
running, at an .unusual speed and that
had the motorman [ been attending ;to
his duty he would have slacked up
when he saw the little girl crossing the
track. Th^ men on "the car said that
the motorman' was talking; to a woman
and that he did not; ring, the bell'-until
he was right . on top of the victim of
his fast-runningTcoach. .
Mrs. Scott,, mother of -.Gladys, was
prostrated with: grief when she learned
that her daughter, had been seriously
hurt. Mrs. ; Scott declared that the cars
were in the habit" of coming- down the
grade at Thirty-fifth avenue'at a dan
gerous speed and that mothers were- in
the • habit of seeing; their? small ;"ctilK
dren safely on board, the cars at school
time, as they are afraid.-* to trust the
little ones to the' railroad's policy of
making schedule time.

SYPHONS SAVE CAR FROM FIRE
Syphons of carbonated water .put out
a fire that threatened to destroy a car
of the Fillmore-street line at Oak street
last night. A fuse blew out and started
fireworks, which were , renewed, with
blinding vigor when a \u25a0 new : fuse was
placed. The car, took fire and a nearby
saloon furnished the squirt bottles that
Berved as fire extinguishers. The car
was then dragged to the repair shop.
THROWS BRICK THROUGH WINDOW
Two obstreperous men who objected
to the switching back of a car of the
Kentucky-Street. line were arrested' last
night and booked at the South " "Sari
Francisco police-station for disturbing
the peace. They .were C. Guserihurt
and Victor Peterson. They started a
small riot' that caused a' call for police,
which" was . answered ~ by V Policemen
Brown and L«ogan, : who ' responded just
as Gusenhurthad got through" heaving
a brick through the car window. Gusen
hurt and Peterson started a fight'with
the motorman, who told; the; pair,-tha,t
the car only, went* as far a? Fifteenth
street.- The angry men left. the car and
then the brick; tossingbegan. \u25a0\u25a0• A gen

UNIONS ARE INNOCENT
A special meeting of the

be held tomorrow nigttt to take up ' the
question;; of ? the attitude 'of- the ; men
and the "company' in running 'the* cars:
The! occurrences of the past few nights
where incipient \u25a0 riots have - taken place
are the cause for the meeting.
Cornelius claims that .: the members
of his union are In no way. responsible.
He says: "The platform men' should • hot
be ' blamed.. On \u25a0', the % other.!" hand, the
company .should, not; expect platform
men to act as special policemen. - If
