Railway operating matters.

The employes of the Canada Atlantic have renewed the negotiations which were commenced last fall in order to procure if possible a higher scale of wages &a 10-hour day. The officials last year told the members of the deputation which waited upon them that the road was not in a position to grant the request, but that negotiations might be renewed this spring. The trainmen claim that taken all around the wages paid them average about a third less than on the C.P.R., & that as the Co. now operates about 700 miles of road it is in a position to pay a higher schedule. There are about 300 train hands on the line. It is expected that increases will be given the trainmen & that the matter will be settled without any difficulty.
