CONSULTING WITH 'VARIOUS COMMITTEES — Efforts flolng MAd¥ to Securs the Con. sent of the Tirbthernood Men to the Proposed Cut and Avold a Strike, Gavesnuna, 1L, Aug. 17.—[Special Tele- gram to Tie Ber.]—An important movement is on foot among the leading railroads of the west to gan the consent of the railroad brotherhood to 8 reduction of wages. Hach road has sent a letter to the griovance com- mittees of the brotherhoods of its employes to meot the management and consider a proposition to reduce wages 10 per cent and two or three such meetings have been held already and the proposition submitted. Other meotings are bemng arranged. The grievance committees are invited because they assistsd in making up the present schedules of pay. The management of the Mobile & Ohio has requested such a conference with the general grievance committee of the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen to consider a reduction to go into effect September 1 and it is understood the meeting will be held at Mobile August 26. The reduction proposed would affect the conductgrs, brakemen and firomen. The compny gays that the condi- tion of business makes such a reduction necessary. i The Chicago & Eastern Tllinois has already submitted an oral proposition for a 10 per cent reduction to the trainmen's grievance committeo, the reduction to take effect September 1 and to be in force only so long as the hard times continue. Unique Proposition. The grievance committee was opposed to the reduction and offerod to loan the com- pany wages at interost. This_proposition is now before the brotherhood lodges of that road's employes. The Chicago, Milwankee & St. Paul officials will, it is understood meet the grievance committee of the train men from that system tomorrow. The Louisville & Nashville employes’ grievance committee and the road’s officials are holding their meeting now at Nashville, Tenn., and the result is not known here, Propositions b been submitted to the trainmen’s committees on the Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland, and in- formation is that a similar broposition will be submitted on the Northern Pacific. Grand Master Wilkinson of the Brother- hood of Railway Trainmen is here and has received many telegrams of inquiry from th grievance committees and lodges. His gen- eral instructions to the grievance conmit- tees are to attend the meetings and to re- ceive the propositions that the railroads make. He has advised them to use dis:re- tion and to avoid useless agitation. The committees are noy empowered to act on the propositions to reduce pay, but are to sub- mit them to the lgdges on' their respoctive systems, and the, membership of each sy tem is to vote on fhe vroposition. In case the men reject ine. vroposition the grand master will go before the management and hear what it has to say and_then advise the men what to do. Just what_tho member- ship on the several systems will do is unc tain, In unmon mectings of brothershood oux City, I, and Chillicothe, Mo., sentiment was decidedly against reduction, The grand master is advismg a justand careful review of the situation and warning against hasty or idjudicious action. FAILED 1IN ¥TS PURPOSE, General Managers 6f the Chicago Rallronds Disouss;th Situntion. 2110460, Aug. 17.—The general managers of the Chicago voads: met today to discuss the situation.. The meeting was a failure and not a single eastern line. was repre- sented. The discussion clesed with the ap- pointment of a committee which will work up a meeting, to be beld in September. It was generally supposed that the question of reducicg wages would be tuken up, but it was not, and the mee.ing was catirvely gen- eral in its character. There is a well defined fear among many of the lines thut the exist- ing financial conditions may force one or two weaker lines into the hands of receivers, who will run the lines with the sole idea of making enough money to pay expenses, and who will be heedless of associition agree- ments. To ward off any possible disorgan ing of business from this source, and to d vise means of saving such of the small fry as may get o deep water, was another reason for the calling of the meeting, but in this respect also nothing was done. Other matters were disposed of in the sume way, and nobhing looking toward action was done, People in the west desiring to attend the Grand Army of the Republic encampment at Indianapolis can buy a ticket at the regu- lar World’s fair rate to Chicago and pay #3.05 for theround trip from Chicago to In- dianupolis. All visitors 1o the encampment must go via St. Louis or Chicago, the round trip rate via St. Lous from Kansas City being #$14.50 and via Cnicago $18.15. This was decided at the meeting of the Western Passenger association today. Any number of schemes were proposed for lower rates, but all were sat upon. The matter of low rates to the fair for linois day was killed outright. The ballot- ing on this was secret, but the highest num- ber of votes t for any plan for lower rates was six out of a possible twenty. DENOUNCED ENRY VILLARD, His Management of the Northern Paoific severely Condemned. New Youk, Aug. 17.—Northern Pacific affairs received & large share of attention in Wall soreet today, owing to the publication of & letter by Brayton Ives, sevoroly denuncistory of Henry Villard's management of the company and the announcement that » Philadelphia stock holaer was about to proceed against Mr. Villard. Another point of interest was the developments respecting the tioating debt and the discovery that J. D. Rockefeller would not serve as a director of the road. The announcement of Mr. Rockifeller's proposition excited mucti conjecturs. July 20 Villard resigned from the road, and said the affairs of theroad wer good condi- tion. Mr. Villard's _xesignation was to take effect July 19, and qn July 17 Mr. Rocke- feller sent u letter kg the company resigning from the board of directors. This resigna- tion was considereif ofticially by the board toduy, and v was mnuounced that the resignation has beey, agcepted. Toe_directors today acted on the letter of John Swope, the stockholder who demands that a suit be brooght against a number of thedirectors.
