ferred with President Clarke Re
gardlng the Signing of the Agree
ment Establishing a Wage Scale
and Providing for Recognition of
the Union No Known Results
Were Arrived At.
P. .1. Shea and M. J. Darretl. of the
conference rommllteo of tho local
branch of tho Street Car Ktnployea'
union, woie In Philadelphia, jtteiday,
endeavoring to Bectiro the kIbikUuio of
President Clarke, of the ticranton Hall
way company, to an ugicemcnt estab
lishing a satisfactory wano tcale and
recognizing tho union. Tho two dele
Kates only left the city after having
made fruitless efforts with their three
colleaguep, Messrs. 1'vans, Suilno and
Kegler, to arrlvo at a satiHfactory
settlement with CJcneral Manager SIIII
man. They left for the Quaker City Wed
nesday night, and all yesterday the re
maining members of the committee
awaited a message giving tho results
of their Journey. At I o'clock In tho
afternoon IJvatis, Kegler und Surlne
were sitting In the heiuluuartem on
Lackawanna avenue, when a messen
ger boy entered with the expected tele
gram. Surlue seized and eagerly tote
it open, and then read aloud to his two
companions:

Var an instant the thieo men looked
at each other in blank astonishment.
Thn Kegler and l'vans broki! out to
gether with. "Insert nothing. Wo
want that eontr.iet sqm-(l just as It
leads now."
"This Insertion," explained one of
the committeemen to a Tribune man.
"simply means that It shuts till thu
men of the Carbondale division out of
the deal. If the contract Is to bo be
tween the company and tho cuiploj.es
of Hcranton, Pa., where ar nny pio
visions made for tho rarboiulale rien.'
No, we won't consent to anything of
that nrt."
THE COMMITTEE'S ANSWKIL
And inside of live niinuks the fol
lowing message had lwen flashed over
til- Western I'nlon to Philadelphia:

cr. Ku-li .irwwri. r-uilnc.
Another telegram was teeelved from
Shea about t o'clock last night, vhl?'.i
ran about as follows: "Take no ac
tion till we miive home totnoirow."
The three committeemen declared thut
evidently the (ontr-tct had not been
slirneel, lus. in case It had been Shei
would have Ik en sure to have let them
know. It Is verj- likely that a meeting
of the union will be held, nnd fro u
the way the clouds havo been gather
ing of late, it looks as though a squall
might he expected.
The causes which led up to th" con
ference with PreMdeni Clarke are all
connected with the clause in tho con
tract relating to the recognition of the
union, and the committeemen claim
that they alreadj have Ucncral Mana
ger Slllimau's signature to this, and
that in refusing to nlgn the foimnl
contract Wednesday he broke faith
with them.
The clause of the contract which has
causpd all the trouble pilniaiil.v run!
ns follows1 "None but membeis of
the union in good standing shall be
employed b- the Sci.tuton Stieet Hall
way company.
The genetnl m.tnagi.r wanted this
clause removed and one substitute t
which stated that the company tKilgi.-.r
Itself to In no way dKcrimliMte
against iiiiluu members. This l.tt'er
anangement was by no means Jtitls
factory to the stleet c,r men and a
final clause was ngieed upon, the com-
niltteejiiodlfylng the clause to tlil-j
form: "riuthcrmoro we will suggi-vt
to nov nun that tluy becniur niein-
heis of PIvlMuu N'o. 16, Stieet far

and to this agreement was .eld. d sllll

From ,i letter which pastil betwben
Mr. Sllllm.in and the eunimltlee, llio

receiving this missive the contract was
drawn up In form and Wednesday tho
general matiagrt wan waited upon mid
IiIh signature requested. Ho refused to
sign, unless a clause was inserted
granting tilm the privilege of discharg
ing any man without any subsequent
Investigation being allowed. The com- I
mlttccmcn refused their consent to
mako nny contract conferring such
powers, as tho general manager would
lie then enabled to discharge any man
at will, without giving any reason for
his action, and the union being power
less to Interfere In tho employe's be
half. A STORMY HUSSION'.
After a rather stormy secMon be
tween the general manager and com
mittee, tho latter left the oillco and de
cided to henccfoith conduct all negotia
tions direct with tho higher officials in
Philadelphia.
At 11. SO o'clock that night Shea nnd
Ilairett left for Philadelphia, they bo
ing chosen by their fellow-committee-men
as delegates to President Clark.
The absence of nny cheerful tidings
from them caused a decided gloom at
union headquarters.
One of the members of the commit
tee remarked to a Tribune man that
the members of tho union are becom
ing desperate, and theio is a geneial
demand among them for an Immedi
ate meeting to be held to take some
definite action.
"They feel that thoy havo been
tricked," he declared, "and we are
having more than a little trouble to
keep them quiet. They feel wary about
our accepting any compromise with tho
company, and the fact th.a.t- the three
unions formed before this last one
were all disorganized through the com
pany's Instrumentality lias, 1 think,
not a little to do with tho feeling."
