The grievance eonuntUoc of tlin Now

waited upon Supcrintunclont .1. H.
Kryden ycHtcnlny afternoon and pta
KPiilud a llBt ot urloviiHceB which they
M iidJiiHliid.
Stippi'lntindunt Bryden yt'stloKtuy ui
I'lnied l hut tlo real point at Ihuo wub
an Increaso In the wu snale, nnd ii
(lonmnd for the olclit-hoiir lny ww
nlhfi nn important Horn. Ho Informed
the men that lio would neml a ropy
of tliolr wniro B't' ,ml Jt'''ll,lH '"
the Now Yorlc hwuluuartnrs and would
i-ommimlcnto tho uiihwpi' rerulved to
the committee.
One of the grievances which the On
tario minora declare to he it most Im
portant one Is the. dissimilarity In tho
uorhlnt? hours :it the wnsherlcs nnd
collieries. As inuny as twelve shifts
are worked nt thu wnsherles. while nt
the collieries there nro often btit three
pr four shifts. Superintendent Bry
den explained to the committeemen
Hiat the leujinn for this Is the Rreater
demand for the small ronl products of
tho wnslierlcs than the lni'Ke coa.1 of
the collieries nnd stated to them that
the company is running 111 full hours
ax possible nt the latter.
n ilio rmeVlton of mi elcht-hour
wnrk-dny belnpr brought up, the super
intendent asked whether the miners,
many of whom work but five or six
hours a day, would auree to this, nnd
there seemed to be Rome doubt on the
matter. In case the miners pledged
themselves to work eight hours with
the others, there seems but little
doubt that the men may obtain this
oncession.
Superintendent Bryden yesterday
expressed bis opinion to n Tribune
man thnt the demands made upon the
company by the committee were iden
tical with those mode by tho em
ployes of the other companies. Tho
i:rie mine workers' committee has
completed its session, but was unable
to see Superintendent May yesterday,
through bis absence from the city.
After he Is met, it is a poslsblllty that
m general meeting' will be held of the
local superintendents of the Laclta
uannu. Delaware mid Hudson, New
York. Ontario and Western, KHc and
the Temple Coal company, to discuss
the situation. "While the miners nr
luRRonably certain of receiving: minor
ronecesslons it is a doubtful matter
whether the companies will mnko any
further concessions in wages. The
condition of the coal market at pres
ent is not one which warrants any
large, increase of expenses, and most
of the operators feet that by living up
to their agreement of last fall they
have done all that is possible.
Switchmen Meet Clarke.
The committee oC six, representing
the different divisions on the Lacka
wanna railroad, on which tho Brother
hood of Switchmen are employed, wait
ed on General Superintendent T. K.
fliirke yesterday afternoon, and the
conference lasted until 6 o'clock. When
thu session was adjourned, the com
mitteemen toft tho office seemingly well
pleased, but would not make any state
ments in reference to what was said or
done at the conference.
Superintendent Clarke stated posi
tively that no grievances had been sub
mitted, and that as far ns a strike was
concerned there v'ns absolutely no
foundation for such a belief, lie also
stated that nothing wih said with ref
erence In Jlessiv. Herrlty nnd Toomey,
who were dismissed recently fiom the
company's service,
The question of wigcs was not dis
cussed nt till, and the conference was
merely for the purpose of discussing
existing conditions on tho load, All the
published statements in reference to a
strike have been without foundation, it
was announced. ,
Superintendent Bryden's New Offices
All of the ofllces of the coal depart
ment of the Krle Hnllrond company In
this city are now located at the for
mer iiuartcrs or the Pennsylvania Coal
