McCready testltied that he entered the employ of the company as a brakeman and was coerced Into joining the relief department, a portion of the wages being taken out each month, though he protested against it. and that the amount sued for represented what he had paid in. Counsel for the company gave notice of appeal. This week brought an advance in transportation charges on soft coal. The rea son for the advance is based upon the increasing demand for bituminous coal owing to exceptional activity in manufacturing.

the necessary heavy outlay for the new rolling stock required to meet the demand and the higher wages being paid to miners. There is a spreading certainty that the de mand for transportation of soft coal will increase rather than decline during the next few years. The numerous Eastern lines now sup porting individual agents In California are contemplating the adoption of an agree ment to dispense with these representatives and Intrust to the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe as Joint agents the equalization of the traffic delivered to their Eastern connections.

Garrett, of the Philadelphia Reading, has in the few months In which he has had charge of the Philadelphia division Inaugurated a number of changes which are giving him prominence in Eastern railway circles. Mr.

Garrett has had considerable experience. He was superintendent of the Wabash division at St. Louis, and when the new union station was opened for business he had to Instruct his men nearly on the Famo lines he is now pursuing on the P. R. to make them conversant with it.

He meets the trainmen frequently, has confidential talks with them, goes Into their lounging room, greets them pleasantly, and in this way he has frequent sessions of "his school." which Is being more and more appreciated by all those who ar under him. THE PLUMBERS' STRIKE. Last Night Conference Left the Sit nation Unchanged. The committees appointed by the Master Plumbers Association and the Plumbers' Union for a conference, met at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to consider the differences that have brought on the present strike, and to effect a settlement if possi ble. The journeymen presented these demands: That all first-class plumbers shall receive $J1 a week; that second-class plumbers shall receive $16.50 a week; that no plumber shall be paid for less than half a day.

With the exception of a full day for Saturday, this is practically the same proposition the association accepted a week ago, and which It charges the union with retreating from after an agreement had been made. The Saturday proposition is that the men receive pay for eight hours' work and only work seven. The master plumbers refused to grant this proposition. on the grounds that they hail made concessions in the half-day matter. The master plumbers requested that the union empower its committee to classify the men in the two classes proposed, and to.

agree on shop rules governing the work. The proposition was satisfactory to the joint committee, and the journeymen's tommitteo took the matter to its union, which was In session awaiting the result of the conference, for ratification or re jection. The master plumbers' committee waited until 7 clock, when It was notllied that the proposition had been rejected by the union. The conference then adjourned without accomplishing anything and no date was set for another meeting. This leaves the -situation unchanged and no more prospects of a settlement than when the men went out Monday.

The members of the Master Plumbers Association have notified their men that there will be no more work until a settle ment Is made. The journeymen assert this was done because the union was dealing Individually with the master plumbers, the demands differing In each case, so that the employers were at a loss to know just whre they stood. The master plumbers say tne failure or the agreement will not seriously afreet business, as few of them have pressing contracts to finish. There are many practi cal plumbers In the Master Plumbers' As sociation and it Is proposed that these members don their overalls and help out the members who have work that is urg ent. One of the master plumbers said: "It is not the 43 cents we look at, but It is this constant demand for higher wages and shorter hours.

Should we give in to this demand, the next will be for a seven-hour day, six days In the week. We aro often condemned by the public for our charges, when, in a large measure, we are. under the control of our employes and. subject to their demands. Situation -villi the Carpenters).

Yesterday about fifty more carpenters joined the 150 who refused to go to work Monday unless the new scale of 33 cents an hour was paid. With this one move the situation was unchanged all day, the other men remaining in their places. A joint meeting of the German and Pnglish-speak- ing unions will be held to-night, and it is thought that at this meeting definite ac tion will be taken In regard to a strike. The contractors have shown no indication of getting together to meet the carpenters, as yet. and unless a conference is held to night the last resort may be put into ef fect.

Hodrnrrlersi Strike. Hodcarrlers went on a strike early yes terday morning because they were required to work a half hour in the morning before the other men begin work in order to get their "scaffolds filled" before the masons go to work, and receive no extra pay. Some of the contractors say they have been pay ing for this extra time, and that the first notification they had that the hodcarrlers carried a grievance was the strike. No serious trouble is expected in reaching a settlement. STEWART KELTCH'S DEATH.

He Expired Suddenly Yesterday Mrs. IlittenKer Dead. Stewart Keltch, age sixty-five years, who lived at 32S Henry street, died yesterday afternoon of apoplexy. Mr. Keltch was sitting In a room alone, and reading a paper, and his wife was in an adjoining room attending to her duties about the house, when she heard a commotion In the room occupied by her husband, and looking in saw that he had dropped the paper which he was holding and that his head had dropped on his breast.
