From Topeka Stnto Journnl, Jan. 20. At n conference hold yesterdny In the olPco of tho Santa Ft master car builder between tho representatives of tho painters In tho Santa Fa paint shop nnd n pnrty of oMlclnla composed of John Purcell, superintendent of shops. M. Mnnflon, mastor car builder, nnd John Hnrtloy, foreman of the pnlnt Bhop, the painters wero given nn 8 per cent rnlso of the wages of about eighty of the men and somo conces sions concerning tiio ptcro work sched ules which nro to go Into effort today. Tho first conference that was ever held between tho oltlclnls nnd repro scntntlvcs of tho painters concerning tho matter of n raise In wnges wns held nbout tbreo months ago, but noth ing doflnlts occurred nt that tlmo w!th tho. exception thnt the painters stated their cas,nnd tholr demands, tho ful fillment w which was refused by the ofllclnla. Ever since that time 'there hn boon more or less parleying .lie-'-worn tnem. Tho painters' version of tho nffalr Is that they asked for a scale of wages that would glvo every painter In tho chop 27 Vi cents nn hour, but they did not get all they nsked. Tho former scale ranged from 20 cents per hour to 27V4. Tho men who received 20 cents nn hour nro now re ceiving 22V4. The 22V6 men now get 24. The men who wcro formerly get ting 21 will now got 2G. Those getting 25 or over wero not raised. Tho men who woro getting tho least wnges ..re tho only ones who will profit by the change. Tho raises now mnko tho jjcalo of wageB range from 22 '.. cents per hour to 27. Settie Trainmen's Demands. It Is reported that a Bottleme, t of tho demand of tho O. R. C. and tho B. R.

It Ib stated that the railway officials nro willing to pay the 12 per cent. That somo speedy termination of the pending negotiations Is oxpected is in dicated by tho fact that the brothor hood committees are still in session In Topeka, nnd announco their Intention of staying hero until their demand f aro compiled with. At Los Angeles, tlio committee has camped down In very much the satno way, and Ib giving It out that it proposes to stay In session until tbo Santa Fo coast lino officials agrco to the proposed Increase. Meantime tho scene of tho negotia tions In In Chicago. Thoro Is somo mystery nbout tho Chicago situation, ns It is not known exactly how the ne gotiations nro progressing, or whether tho employes nro treating with tho General Managers' association, or with tho operating officials of tho various railways, or with select committees representing tho general managers. General Manager II. U. Mudgo went west Sunday, bo It Is evident that noth ing Is expected from him by the com mtttco In session bore. Third Vlco President J. W. Kcndrlck la said to bo representing tho Santa Fo in tho Chi cago negotiations. Tho employes nro represented nt Chlcngo by Grand Chief Conductor Clark of the O. R. C. and Grand Mas tor Morrlsoy of the B. R. T.. A com mlttco Is also thoro selected from the chnlrmen of the various locnl orgnnl zntlon?. Tho general belief Is that tbeso representative employes aro nc gotlntlng with the various railway of ficials nu Individuals and it is not lm posslblo that thoro will bo a difference In tho per cent of Inereaso granted to different roads. Telegrapher Denies Statement. In Bplto of tbo emphatic denials of the olllclals of tho Santa Fo telegraph department, thoro nro soma things which Indicate that tho operators are dissatisfied with tho wages that are being paid, nnd nre trying to find somo way out of tho dilemma, which tho Snntn Fe's refusal to treat with tho O. R. C. has caused. A Santa Fo telegraph operator, who refuses to allow his name to bu pub lished, said today: "Tho statement mndo In regard to tho wages paid to tho Santa Fo tele graphers Is Incorrect. Either tho sup erintendent docs not want to admit the fnctB, or cite lie Is trying to fool the newspoperB. Tbo Union Pacific now, nnd has for several years, paid tholr operators better than tho Santa Fo, their minimum now being $5S on their new schedule. On their old schedule It wns $50, while tho Santa Fo mini mum Is now nnd has boon for years ?4D. There may bo a fow men In tho Santa Fo general offices or In larger offices who receive bettor salnrleB than thofio on the Union Pacific, but us n whole tho Santa Fo telegraphers are not In It." If there Is a general sentiment that tho Santa. F telcjrraphers- are aot gettlnp money enough It will not take long, for them to follow the fashion of thq day and ask. for, more pay. "William C.
