There is likelihood that the company will consent to reinstate the suspended men unless they sign the cards.

If the | result of Mahon's conference with Cal- | houn is satisfactory it will be approved; if not satisfactory it will be disregarded. CONCESSIONS GRANTED. | A committee from the Carmen’s Union | was in conference almost the entire after- | noon of yesterday with General Manager | Chapman of the United Raflroads. The | committee consisted of Richard Corne- | of the union: William Knauft and Harry A. r Chapman refused to rec- Knox on the ground that he was one of the suspended employes. After men who had been suspended because of | their refusal to sign the students’ vouch- | ers should be immediately reinstated and paid in full for the time which they were | idle. General Manager Chapman after | hearing the demand replied that the United Railroads Company was willing to have the men resume their positions as soon they would sign the students’ | vouchers for the few students who had ready been broken in. Although Manager Chapman did not consent to grant the demand of the com- | mittee, he expressed himself as willing to > such modifications in the card would satisfy the union. The | principal ebjection which the carmen have | | to the student card is that the rafiroad | company will manipulate the system | to the disadvantage of the union in case | of a strike. The committee professed to | | believe that the company is breaking in | | the students merely to have a supply n(i capable men to take the places of the regular employes in case of a strike. | Manager Chapman promised the com- | mittee that in the future only those men | who are actually necessary for immediate | service on the cars will be broken in. Lo meet another objection that was ad- | vanced against the card system, he said | that duplicates of all the students’ cards | will be furnished to the unfon, with pho- tographs of the students attached. The | committee promised to take the offers | made by Manager Chapman under con- | sideration and to submit them to the | mass-meeting at the Theater Republic. COMPANY’S POSITION. Last evening the general manager gave out the following statement of the com- | pany’s position on the questions submit- ted at the conference: 1 do not know what will be the outcome of the recent demand made upon the company. A committee of employes called upon me again to-day, and I agreed to reinstate at once the men who were recently suspended for a know- ing and willful _violation of the company's yules, provided they would sign the student's card in accordance with the company's rules and regulations. 1 also agreed If they wanted duplicate cards hereafter we would have them made to be filled out and signed In ink,{and would turn one of them over to the instrictor to keep; and agreed to have a.photograph of each student attached to the card. This last suggestion was intended to meet the objections of some of the men who feared the company intended to practically commit & fraud by substituting on the card the names of men who hay “broken in.” S0 far as hiring and | reaking in"’ unneces- sary men is concerned, 1 agreed that the com- pany would undertake not to “‘break in any more men t?an were absolutely neceseary. The president of the company added to this an Assurance that the company would, in this connection, give the side of the men ‘the bene. fit_of the doubt. 1 then agreed that if this was not satisfactory we would submit the matter in question to arbitration, the international president of the Carmen’s Union, Mr. W. D. Mahon, to repre- sent the men, and Mr. Patrick Calhoun of New York to represent the company, and that we would abide by their decision, These propositions the committce agreed to submit to the men at the meeting to be held to-night. 1 capnot conceive of any fairer proposition than this, and submit it to public opinion for examination. T belleve the public has-a very considerable interest in this question, and that the public ought to be consulted. A street raflway strike injures not only the railway company, but it burts the city; it arives people away; it keeps capital out and it discommodes hundreds of thousands of peo- ple. In view of these things the public is cer- | tainly entitled to know just what are the Inlzvlncen of the men, and it is entitled to know them in advance of labor disturbances.

CHANGE THEIR DEMANDS. At the conclusion of the conference be- tween the committee from the Carmen's Union and General Manager Chapman the executive committee of the union held a meeting in the Emma Spreckels building. The meeting was for the purpose of dis- cussing the concessions which had been granted by the United Railroads. It re: | sulted, in great change in the demands which the unjon now makes of the United Raflrcads. In fact, it was practically decided to make the demand for the abol- ition of the student cards a secondary is- sue and to make a demand for $3 a day, the day to be nine hours.. At present the conductors and motormen in the employ of the United Railroads, in accordance with the agreement which was reached at the conclusion of the last strike, work practically ten hours. The ‘“‘run” of any one man was limited to that time and the men were promised by the company that they would be given a chance to make $250 a day.” The union now claims that many of the men were able to make only from $1 60 to $2. The demand on the part of the union for an increase of wages to $3 a day Is not unexpacted. Some time ago The Call published an interview with President Cornelius to the effect that the union ip- tended to make such a demand in May. President Cornelius subsequently denied the interview, but the action of the ex- ecutive committee verified The Call's statement. CARMEN’S STATEMENT. The following statement was issued last ht by the Carmen’s Union: In April of last year the carmen inaugurated a strike to better their condition. As s known to the people of this city it was one of the quietest and most successful ever carried out As a result an agreement was drawn up and signed by the union-and the United Railroads which we thought would be satisfactory. But | the United Railroads, through Mr. Chapman, hasg done everything to make not only the life of the men unpleasant, but has repeatedly broken the agreement and has also made new conditions that were exceedingly disagreeable to the men. When the agreement was effected we_intended to live strictly by its conditions, and we have kept our part of the contract as closely as the United Raflroads would per- mit us. It appears to have been the object of- the company to endeavor to get the men ‘disgusted - with the union. Whenever any dif- ferences arose the officials of the railroad claimed that it was because of the faults of the union and they tried to breed dissension to make the men dissatisfied. The men were not to be deceived by the shallow pretenses and have, to a man, been true to their or- ganization. The general manager of the United Railroads would have the public believe that the card system for students was always i vogue. But the fact of the matter is that the system, has not been in vogue for more than a month, and we believe that every card we sign puts a club into ‘the hands of the company to strike | us with, The general manager saye that we have mever brought up that question.. We deny that. Our business agent brought that question up and discussed it with the general manager, and=the report of our busiriess agent of that interview made to the union was not satisfactory.. The result was that the union decided that its members should not sign any more cards. The general manager in his statement claims that we have broken a rule in refusing to sign students’ cards. The fact of the matter is there is not and never has been any such rule posted in any car barn of the United Rallroads. A committee was selected to-day to confer with the general manager consisting of Presi- dent Cornelius, Willlam Barry, George Knauft and Harry A. Knox. When the committee ar- rived at the office of the company the general manager sent out word that he would not re- celve Mr. Knox because he was a suspended employe. That is only one more instance of his peculiar treatment of the men. We think the general manager should receive any man Stops the Cough. | Adams’ Irish Moss Cough Balsam Cures in a day.

Crazed by a year of incessant suffering, due to an accidental blow on the fore- head, Mrs. Augusta Menzel jumped from is here | the second-story window of her home at | 106 Ashbury avenue early yesterday morning and died a few hours later. Miss May McGill, the trained nurse who had been in attendance on the deceased for three weeks, had left the room, deceived by the feigned sleep of the pain-racked woman, thus giving her the opportunity to end her suffering by the fatal plunge. Over a year ago Mrs. Menzel received a stunning blow on the forehead from a collision with a beam while she was in the dark basement of her home. She was advanced in yvears, being 5 at the time, and the accidental blow developea | @ serious case of atrophy of the optic nerves. The gravity of her ailment in. creased, until several weeks ago she was sent to the Homeopathic Sanitarium at 2110 Central avenue. The constant care of the physicians n attendance failed to relieve the dull pain which was ever raging in the invalid's head. She was brought back to her home and Miss Eda Menzel, her daughter, as- sisted the trained nurse in giving the stricken woman every attention. One or the other of the two were with her con- stantly, as she had become irrational and it was feared that she might make an at- tempt to end her life. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock both Miss McGill and Miss Menzel left the sickroom to prepare the patient’s break- fast. They were startled by hearing the sound of a falling body in the basement area, and both acting on the same sus- picion, rushed up to the invalid’s cham- ber, to find that she had disappeared. Looking out of the open window they saw her body lying below. The unfortunate woman was seen as she took her fatal downward plunge by Conductor W. D. Sterripp and Motorman E. G. Walterhouse, who were passing the house at the time on an Ashbury-avenus car. They Immediately rushed to her assistance. With the help of Miss Eda Menzel and the nurse they carried her into the house. Mrs. Menzel was of large stature and weighed over 180 pounds. In faling her forehead came in contact with the railing of a board fence which was almost directly beneath the window. The upper portion of her head was badly EXPERT OPTICIAN.
