WHO IS / md IN

10 the Editor u the Register.
Sir: The evening Republican paper,
which has been selected to open the
ball on Councilman William McCor-
mick, returns to the charge this even
ing. and among other things says it
was first to call attention to the in
eligibility of the gentleman named to
retain his place in the First Branch.
It is true that paper was the first to
publicly call attention to the case; but
who called its attention to it? That
would be interesting reading. Who
suggested that it would be good thing
TO ventilate Mr.. Mccormick in print?
And why was the suggestion made?
Also, who is anxious to fill William 5
IN case he is turned out? And several
other things of like nature. There is
something behind this thing. Let's
have the story.
AS to the fact that Mr. Mccormick
IS deputy sheriff, as we'll as Coun-
Gilman, there is no objection to this
either In law or fact 1t is only re-
Gently that Republican filed these
two offices, and heard no protests. I
nave even known a Republican Coun-
Gilman to be elected to a city Office
while representing his ward in Coun-
Gil, and hold on to both things, while
as third example two we'll known
gentlemen were members of the Board
OF commissioners, Board of Education
and Council at the same time 1t will
De seen that If precents are worth any
thing William holds a royal flush.
Personally | think William will re-
main where he is. particularly as Coun-
eli is the judge of the qualifications of
its membership. v. S.

FRITZeS STATEMENT.

Y. 5. Fritz, who was until Friday in
the employ of the Citizens Street Railway
Company, called at the Register office
yesterday and said he wished to make a
statement concerning the manner in which
the company imposed on the men now in
their employ.

my home. '.he said. when l came on /
brought fifty-three men with me. Out of
that number there are not five left, who
are still with the company. We were all
experienced men, having worked with
the traction company there. The wages
| received was $2l0 a day for what was
supposed to be twelve hours work /

lodging, sleeping in an open car in the
barn. With the exception of the three

vile names but that would not drive me
away in one hundred years. The motor
men the company have in their employ
are all experienced men. but some are
very reckless.

marks about the company l then went

AN ORIGINAL SUGGESTION.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Al previous attempts to arrive
at settlement Of the street railway
strike having failed, and as we appear
to have exhausted the efforts of labor
organizations, Council, the Mayor and
business men, let me offer another sug-
gestion, in the line of arbitration,
which, l believe, promises success ar
rived at in an impartial manner.
The Supreme Court of the State is
now sitting in this city. Let both the
Company and the strikers agree to ar
bitration, submit all questions at issue
to the judges, make oral arguments, if
esteemed necessary, and agree to abide
by the decision of three of the four
judges.
Although the judges are busy men,
yet belive they would agree to under
take a decision in this matter. They
are accustomed to elaboration upon
the merits of cases, they have no earth
ly interest in any Of the matters at is
sue, and could. | belive, be relied upon
to reach fair and equitable decision.
Why not try this, as possibly last
resort H. G.
