the benefit OF others interested.
Superintendent Watt. of the department Of mo-
tive power of the Central said last night ar
Yonkers that the plan read well, but so radi-
cal that he could not express opinion on 1t with
out considering il carefully. He said he had heard
from frisnd in Yonkers that experiments on
similar lines, made several years ago in Chicago
had proved impracticabIe. Mr. Dodges plan Mr.
Watt said. had been presented to him a few
months ago through e. Fl. Macdonald. as attorney
F NJ Whyte. an assistant engineer inspected it.
His report was that il lad not been worked out in
sufficient detail for him to determine its value.
Mr.. Waitt was asked whether the company would
accept Mr. Dodge's offer. He said:

tic able and reasonably economical / viii recon-
mend that he be allowed 10 alter one OF our loco

condition which requires the company TO exploit

want use it.
Mr.. Macdonald said last night that Mr.. Dodge
had formed stock company TO take charge Of his

his death year two ago it had a street rail-

water was transferred TO the motor. The company

Mr. Dodge did have his motor in practical
operation when he asked the Central officials to
try IT, They did not try. for they have a general
rule that they must see practical demonstration
of perfected invention before they attempt to
use il.

He confined himself the general statement
that the committee had come to Washington

Federation Of Labor to the best methods Of
procedure in carrying on the strike He had
talked with each member Of the committee and
each had expressed himself as absolutely GER
tain that the association would be victorious.
The Analgaraated Association. Mr.. MORRISON
said. was an affiliated body with the Fedora
ton, and as such was entitled TO the co-opera-
tion and aid of the greater body in conducting
the strike movement to an effective and sue
cessful issue. Mr.. MORRISON expressed himself
confident Of the ultimate victory Of the steel
workers. and felt certain that the Federation Of
Labor would give them all the aid in its power.

would be issued for extension Of the strike in
affiliated branches OF labor and regarding the
matter Of financial assistance to the steel

The members OF the general council Of the
