MONON GRANTS AN ADVANCE
Trainmen and Switchmen Assured CT
Wages as Good as the Men on
Western Roads Are
Getting.

| CHICAGO, Dec. PA movement for a
| general increase In the wages of all rail-
| road employees connected with the train
service east of Chicago was started at
| a meeting of the General Managers as
| ISOLATION held in this city yesterday.
During the last two or three weeks the
| transportation lines east of Chicago have
| been seriously embarrassed in the move
ment of trains by famine in coal and
by alleged failure of the employees to do
| their work more promptly.
| AT yesterdays conference it was said
| that the general car blockade threatened
| the Eastern lines, and that the slow and
| unsatisfactory work of the trainmcn and
! switchmen was the prime cause of the
| condition. One of the general managers
| said that he thought the wages of all
| trainmen and switchmen in the territory
| east of Chicago ought to be advanced
/ with the object of promoting more efii-
| lent service. The same officer alleged
| that the remuneration of these classes
| in the Eastern districts is from 10 to II
| per cent below the wages paid for sim
| liar service by the roads west of Chi
| cago.
Increased Pay a Necessity.
| 1t was the consensus of opinion that
| the only remedy for the conditions east
| of here was a general increase in the wa
ges of the employees.
During the last month or two several
Of the large systems, mostly west of cnis
| city, have increased the pay Of their train
and yard men. Yesterday President Nc
Doel, of the Monon, announced that the
wages of all the brakemen on local
freight trains over the entire system
would be increased $3.50 per month, or
from $3.50 to $780, The pay of switch
men in all yards except those in Michi-
gan City will also be advanced The
foremen of switch engines will receive an
increase of 20 to % cents per day. and
other switchmen 10 to 20 cents per day.
The Monon advance is the result of five
days conference between representatives
of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
which is made up Of switchmen and
brakemen, and President McDoel and
General Superintendent Lowell, of the
system.
This is the first grievance committee
that has visited us since 1884, said Mr.
Lowell yesterday. unlike many other
roads in the country, we made no reduc-
ton in the wages Of our men when the
panic struck the country in that year.
We think that for road to run along
six years without the services of a griev-
ance committee demonstrates that our
employees are pretty well satisfied"
The pay of firemen on the big engines
on this road was increased some time
ago.
Coal Famine Is Serious.
SDuring the last ten days the coal@fam-
inc has had serious effect on the opera
ton of railways. So great has been the
shortage that officers of several of the
big roads have seriously contemplated
sharp reduction in the number Of
freight and passenger trains. Several Of
the roads have been forced to confiscate
cars of coal intended for private indus
tries along the line in order to get fuel
for engines. 4sssa...

Alexandria wins First Round.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Dec. 25.-Alex-
andria has won the first round in the
preliminary struggle between that city

seat of Hanson county. Soon after the
county court house at Alexandria burned,
some weeks ago, the ambitious citizens OF
Fulton decided that now or never was the
time to enter the lists, and If possible.
wrest from it's rival the county seat
prize. Petitions were Immediately cir
culated asking the board of county COM
mssioners to submit the question OF
county seat removal to the voters of
the county.
On their face the petitions contained
the necessary number of signatures, but
the commissioners deferred action until
they could ascertain if all the signerS
were legal voters of the county. While
they were doing this, the citizens of
Alexandria were not idle, and succeeded
in prevailing upon enough siglrers Of
the Fulton petitions to withdraw their
names and leave the petitions without
the required number of signatures The
commissioners, at a meeting just held to
consider the petitions and take action
thereon, decided that, deducting those
who had withdrawn their names, the
petitions did not contain the necessary
number of signatures. Hence the request
of the Fultonites has been officially de-
MED. The citizens of Fulton declare they
will continue their efforts, but just what
steps will next be taken has not yet been
determined upon.

state or federal authorities, we can do
nothing more than be the medium for
considering them in behalf of our people.
But such indemnities are to the people
affected and not to the Italian govern
ment, which feels that there is far
greater question involved than any Imam
cial return to individuals. 1t is the real
and permanent remedy of having the fed
eral laws give to Italian subjects the
protection guaranteed in our treaties that
we desire, and it is to this end that my
exchanges of view are tending, rather
than to the payment of special indemn1-
ties in special cases. What the Italian
government desires is a system covering
all cases.
