Monon Employes Holding Meeting With Officials.

Lafayette, Ind., May 18.—An important meeting of the grievance committee of the Order of Railway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen is being held in this city and will last for several days. The conductors are represented by Jack Condon, of Chicago; Melville Bennett, of New Albany, and' John O’tMara, of Indianapolis. William Knowles, of Indianapolis, Charels Douglass, of Chicago, and Nate Gofroth, of Lafayette, are representing the trainmen. A conference was held today with General Superintendent P. L. McManus and Superintendent Bath and Fogg, of the Monon. The brotherhood ask that the working conditions and schedule of wages agreed upon by the eastern arbitration board a few months ago be applied on the Monon. Most of the changes apply to men employed on the coal road and the southern branch of the MOnon. It is thought that an amicable adjustment will be reached by the latter part of the week.
