HANER TO Be CARED FOR
Protective Railway Union Will
Look Out For Him.
TODD A LITTLE TYRANT
Any Request Preferred by an Em-
ploye OF the lexington Company,
No Matter How 4Reasona BILE, In

charged OH Columbia VIII Return.

The dismissal of Conductor Haner from
the lexington and Soldiers Home rail-
way service for the reason that the conf
pany is antagonistic to organized labor, as
told exclusively in The Morning Times Of
yesterday, was discussed at meeting OF
the Railway Protective Union last ev e-tt-l-.
The action taken is not divuiged, but 1t
is certain that the whole matter will be
placed before the Federation of Labor at
its next meeting: The result of this pro-
ceeding will probably be that the road
viii be placed on the unfair list, Haner
having made good record on the road land
the only known reason for his discharge
being his connection with the union.
1t is understood, also, that the union win
not only extend financial assistance 10 Its
biacklisted members, but that the Officers
win interest themselves in securing him
other employment.
COLUMBIA MEN REINsTATED.
Another matter considered by the union
was the application made by the Columbia
road employees for the reinstatement OF
two comrades who had been deposed for
what the members regarded as insufficient
reasons. A report was received TO the effect
that the appeal had been fayorahly con-
sidered. The men will be restored TO their
positions at the expiration of two weeks
from the date Of their dismissal.
Since the publication III The Times yes
terday Of the charges made against the
Eckingto Oh nlanagementast to taeir treatment
OF the men. other incidents have been re-

Ii is alleged that if u pas senger gets
aboard .of a car at The Fifteenth and &
streets junction accompanied by child
and has but one transfer. the conductor
must satisfy himself that the child is not
over three years of age, If the conductor
believes it To be over that age he must
either collect a fare, eject the passenger
or pay the amount from his own pocket.
Should he eject the party who refnses'to
pay, il is claimed, he must take the names
OF all the other passengers and report the
matter To the office. He is then forthwith
suspended until he can obtain the written
statements OF the witnesses whose names
has taken. In most cases the conductor
pays the fare from his own scant earnings.
UNsHELTERED IN ROUGH WEATHER
Employees are obliged, it is said, TO stand
out upon the platform IN all kinds of wea-
ther II any one requests that his car be
supplied with awnings he is discharged.
superintendent Todd is said 10 have noti-
fled the men that any request made TO
him would insure the discharge of the Of
fender, and to emphasize the declaration
ne dismissed a faithful driver, a ma nnamed
Holtsclaw, for asking that the sick list be
investigated. ..n.
As a reason for this request Holtsclaw
stated that cerain men were Off on sick
leave who were in reality otherwise EN-
ployed at the time awaiting a opportunity,
through the discharge of some one, TO re-
turn and take his car without standing

Considerable feeling is expressed against
an employe named Everett for his alleged
connection with the dismissal of Con-
ductors Haner and Green Ii Is alleged
that Everett was foremost among those
who got the mems assent to join the
union, He was then in favor Of ii, and was
in reality responsible for Green's removal,
since he induced him to go into the move
ment.
EVER EFT BACKED OUT.
When the time arrived for initiation
Everett backed out He was treated coolly
by his feIlo VS., and, becoming angry about
it. he is said 10 have denounced the men
one evening in saloon, and was promptly
called down by a bystaEder. To revenge
himself, il is alleged, he sought a private
interview with Foreman Baird and the
discharges followed
Many expressions OF regret have been
heard among the employees at the dismissal
of Hauer and Green, but they do not feel
at all free to ma Ike these expressions publicly.
The two men were popular, and their fello W.
employees naturally regret to see them lose
their places.
The company has been breaking in a
number OF new men lately, and this is ac-
cepted as a menace to the regular employees.
1t is understood, generally, that it is but
a preparation for other discharges upon
the slightest pretext. and nobody wants to
incur the penalty.
