Unions and Managers Come to
Terms at Conference.
RULES ALLOWED TO STAND
'ot Willing to Walt for New Tear,
Union Delegates Have Advance
Made Effective at Once One
Canadian Road Included.
CHICAGO. Dec. 19. Special.) Fifty
Western railroad systems presented 75,
000 conductors . and trainmen with a
welcome and not entirely unsolicited
New Year's gift n the form of a 10
per cent wage inorease.
The rise In the wage scale, which
will cost the railroads upwards of $5,
000,000 during 1911 and In succeeding
years, came at the end of a series of
conferences between labor officials and
railroad representatives. Coming as It
did on the heels of the 10 per cent in
crease granted the locomotive engi
neers the day before Christmas at a
cost of 11.000.000 annually, the last
wage adjustments showed the roads In
the role of Santa Claus.
Additional significance was lent the
yielding to the demands of the con
ductors by the fact that It marked the
end of a National campaign for higher
wanes on the part of the Order of Rail
way Conductora and the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen. Through efforts
of their members, the unions have suc
ceeded In getting total wage Increases
of 133.000,000 from the roads.
Question Finally Is Wages.
The agreement affects the Illinois
Central system and a half hundred
other systems between It and the Pa
cific Coast. Negotiations were begun
on November 28 and conferences have
been held almost dally.
Questions of rules at first were In
volved, but the demands of the men at
last simmered down to the most potent
factor the wage Increase. When the
agreement was signed tonight rules
were forgotten and settlement was
made straight through on the 10 per
cent rise basis.
A. B. Garretson, president of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and W.
M. Lee. president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen, signed the agree
ment on behalf or the men, and a com
mittee of ten. headed by A. W. Tren
holm. representing the railroad gen
eral managers.
Canadian Pacific Not Included..
Though special attention was not di
rected toward bringing the Canadian
roads Into line, the Canadian Northern
agreed to the proposition of the train
men. The Canadian radflc. Railway's
representatives also were ready to
grant a ten per cent Increase, but em
ployes of that particular line, seeing
a possibility of even more favorable

who is also an architect.
More than a month ago Mies Stein be
gan to work on her plans. She and her
Intended husband had looked over the
houses of their friends, but found no
place exactly to their liking. At last
they picked out the best features of the
houses they bad studied and Miss Stein
combined these with some ideas of her
own and worked out the plans for the
house, which will be modern in all re
spects and will have seven rooms.
Mies Stein first made her floor plans
and front elevation on heavy drawing
paper, after which, like the professional
architect, she made traced copies. Kxca

Hoxeey used a heavy stock Wright bi

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 29. (Special.)
Without faith in justice and embittered
by an order of court depriving him of
his child, William Stark, once a liquor
dealer, has been in the County Jail for
nearly a year, while his existence has
been all but forgotten by officers of the
court who knew his story.
Judge Troutt. of the Supreme Court,
committed Stark to prison on January 15,
1910, the order reading that Stark must
remain in custody "for 24 hours or until
he pays WOO alimony to Mrs. A. E.
Stark." his divorced wife. According to
the court minutes. Judge Troutt named
the one-day sentence without the further
condition that the raoncy must be paid
before Stark might be released.
But the written order stood and, steel
ing his heart in deflance of the court.
Stark hae stayed in jail, refusing to ask
for favors or consideration.
Stark declares that he refuses to pay
alimony because the court denied him
the custody of his little daughter.
'I'd rather spend the rest of my life
here than live outside without my child,"
he said.
