WILL REJECT THE SCHEDULE.
The Dissatisfied Employes of the Southern Railway Still in Conference.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 16.--Third Vice-President Baldwin of the Southern Railway, who reports that organization in its dealing with the committee appointed by the dissatisfied employes to secure a new schedule of wages, said to-day that he had heard nothing from the committee. It is reported that the committee had decided to reject the wage schedule offered by the company.
There appears to be a hitch in the proceedings looking toward an adjustment of the wage controversy between the Southern Railway Company and its employes, whose demand for a restoration of the former schedule was refused on Wednesday by the officials of the road, is still in session in this city, but not one of these members will give out any information as to the probable outcome of the matter.
It is understood that late in the afternoon a statement was sent to Vice-President Baldwin rejecting the terms of the schedule proposed by the company. Everything pertaining to the question of settlement is kept secret, and neither the employes nor railway officials will give out any information for publication. Matters are evidently badly complicated, but both sides are hopeful that a satisfactory agreement will be reached in a few days. The committee will not assemble tomorrow but will continue its deliberations Monday morning.
