The motion was referred to the committee on consti- tuition and bylaws, whose recom- mendation was unanimous that the motion be adopted.

 .sl always have, gentlemen, admired greatly the railroad men of the coun- try and do not see how anyone who believes in the fundamental principles of citizenship can fail to do so." He compared the railroad men to soldiers who are accustomed to taking risks, acting on their own initiative and obeying orders. In raising his own regiment he said, he got number of railroad men. Of course, the first req uisite was that q man should know how to ride and how to shoot. Giving them these two qualities, he found there was no better group from which soldiers could be drawn than rail road men. The president referred to the good work accomplished by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen.
 T believe emphatically," he said, "in organized labor. The worth of an organization depends upon it's be- ing handled with the courage, the skill, the wisdom, the spirit of fair dealing as between man and man and the wise safe restraint which l am glad to be able to say your brother hood has shown"
 As the president concluded he was roundly cheered.

DAMAGES
Will be Sued for by Several Salem
Citizens
For Alleged Libel and SANDER by
the Salem Express.
of Suit Will be $780,
000-Peferred to Them as
Outlaw Gang.

Suit will in all probability be insti-
tuted against the Salem Express Pub,
fishing Company by number OF resi-
dents OF Salem for defamation OF char
acter and SANDER. The suit will be
one OF magnitude as each of them will
claim damages amounting to $4,000.
Last week the town council OF Salem
met and granted two saloon licenses
and then number of men came here,
for the purpose, 1t is asserted, to
make application for license from the
county court. The Express came out
with an article naming the parties
who had come for that purpose, name
ly George w. +. Randolph, William
A. Carpenter, w. D. Montgomery, j..
E. Sutton, Homer Williams, T. j..
Hickman, Lloyd Duff, Theodore Dill
ger, L. A. Kennedy and A. Meek.
The article was somewhat bitter and
created much stir at Salem. The eX-
preston ''outlaw gang" is used in the
article and the gentlemen named con-
slider the epithet applied to them.
Several OF the parties mentioned are
in the city today consulting their at
torneys, Davis s. Davis, with damage
suits already stated in view. So far
they have been unable to ascertain
who was the author of the article in
question, but it appears that f. j.
Ehret acknowledges that the article
was handed in by him. He disclaims
the authorship OF it, however. Mr..
Randolph claims that that paper
promised to publish a certain article
taken from the New York American
but did so only in part, although they
represented that they had done so.
Mr.. Meek instituted his suit for s1o,-
900 this afternoon. The others will
follow suit.
