Chairman of the Association", of Railroad Executives, asking him to designate u committee to meet here for conference with railroad administration officials on "railroad wage questions and related subjects." The request wab understood to bate bceu made at the suggestion of Presi dent Wilson. The conference will deal primarily with the proposal of the President to create u joint tribunal, oc which both the railway corporations and union labor will have representation, to handle the labor demands for increased ren . Ilines will seek an agreement with thu executives to the plan which, of course, will become unnecessary if pendirg leg islation is enacted into law before the railroads arc restored to their owners MurclJ 1. Railroad administration 'officials arc desirous' of having tbe conference com plete its work before- the meeting of union committee men is held here ne.t Monday to consider the President's pro posal that the wage demands be referred to such a tribunal. The President as sured the union lenders that he would seek the co-operation of the railway corporations in developing thu program immediately. While Hines urged Cily ler to advise him as soon as possible of tlio committee named, the date for the meeting was left opeu, but probnbl) w ill be the latter part of the week. Detroit, Feb. 10.

"The street-cleaning problcm-i con cerns the immediate present, while water supply concern not only the present, hut the immedtute future, the coming summer months," he continued. "I have made contracts thus far amounting to ?3,000,000 to remedy cou ditions as far as possible. Immediate shipments of machinery to replace wornout parts have been made, and just as soon us the weather permits we will go to work. In the meantime the public must save water. "I expect ultimately to increase the water supply in the center of the cit, or that part of it lyiDg between tlio mcr aud south of Callowhill street, by at least 50,000,000 gallons dailj. Most of the money wll be spent oil the Queen Lane reservoir and. the remainder at Torresuaie ana Jjarancr s roint.

"When wc get all the wornout ma rhiuery at' tbe pumping plants replaced nail the capacity of the Queen Lane reservoir complete, I shall begin to breathe freely. Until this is accom plished thc people must conserve water. It is imperative that not a gallon be wasted." Deep in His Work Bulwarked behind a glass-topped ma- boganj desk littered with blue prints, typewritten reports and tames ol esti mates, tbe director wus the picture of au official who, ligurativelj speaking, hud his coat off, sleeves up and arms buried to the elbows in work.
