Formed by Railroad Conductors
and Brakemen.

San Francisco Sept. 1.-THE Call this
morning says that the largest and most
far reaching union in the history OF rail-
roads, has been recently formed by the
railroad conductors and brakemen on
roads operating west of Chicago.
The men are dissatisfied with the pres
ent rates OF wages and will in the imme-
diate future make a demand for an in
crease OF salaries of 20 per cent. The
Call claims TO be in n position to an
nounce that this union will make a test
case on one OF the roads The organiza
tion was perfected last June In Kansas
City, and w. V. Stafford, a passenger
conductor OF the Southern Pacific. res:d-
ing at Oakland, was elected Its executive
head. Circulars have been recently
passed around among the men and as a
result every trainman has signed the re-
quest asking for the increase Of 20 per
cent. and making other demands.
Chairman Stafford of the executive
council OF the union confirmed, II Is said,
all OF the above statements and added:
Our organization IL perfect. The circu-
lars we have been sending out have been
signed not only by myself but by f. Z.
Clark. grand chief conductor OF the Order
Of Railway Conductors and p. II. Norris

DECLINED
Offer Of Assistance by Grand
Army TO Confederate Veterans.

New Orleans. La. Sept 1.-THE Confed-
crate Veterans of New Orleans last night
refused the proffered aid OF Gen. Tor
rance. commander-in-chief Of the Grand
Army OF the Republic. They decline with
thanks the money to build home for
INDECENT Confederate soldiers In Alabama.
The Army OF the Tennessee adopted
resolutions referring TO Gen. Torrance's
offer IN the kindest terms, declaring that
he possesses @ noble heart, full of broth
erly love-" but the resolution says: We
cannot accept even this generously prof
fered assistance from eny source save
from our own people. II Is the duty OF
the South, and the South alone, to pro-
vide for Confederate soldiers who may
need assistance To permit others TO do
that duty would. IN our Judgment, be beth
unbecoming and wrong to the Southern
people.
But let Il be wen understood that we
are grateful just In the same way that
man is grateful 10 a neighbor who offers
financial assistance when the angel of
death Visits his home. In both cases we
must politely but firmly decline to accept
the offer. There are certain duties which
a high-minded people cannot permit 9TH
ers TO perform. and this is one OF them"

MARTIANS
Are Superior In Intelligence to
the People Of the Earth.

Chicago. Sept. n.-That a people su-
perior in intelligence TO those of the earth
inhabit the planet Mars Is conclusion
that will be set forth by Professor G. W.
Hough. head Of the department of as
tronomy OF Northwestern university In
report which he is compiling of his
summers observations from the Dear
born observatory. He asserts this as
probability based on recent discoveries
and adds that of course II can never be
established positively.
The conclusion includes the acceptance
of the theory OF evolution, and the state
ments of leading astronomers that eli
matte conditions of Mars are the same
as of the earth The possibility of Venus
and Mercury being inhabited Is admitted
because they have solidihed and the in
tense heat resulting from their proximity
TO the sun may have been overcome by
a deeper covering OF atmosphere. None
of the other planets, In the opinion OF
the professor, could contain animal life.

S13 A TON
Price Of Coke Is Greatly In
creased at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE price OF coke in
Chicago has jumped up this week to the
unprecedented figures Of s12 and $i3 a
ton. One consequence Of the advance is
that small foundries are threatened with
close down until prices shall drop.
Even at this advanced price. however.
all orders cannot be supplied. This Is
due TO the same cause that explains In
part the jump in price, the car famine
that has existed for some time.
Dealers say the railroads are divert
ing cars which otherwise would be used
for coal, TO the meat. produce and grain
traffic, which Is exceedingly heavy, and
which pays better than hauling fuel.
