TO RECEIVE MORE PAY


Kruttschnitt and Agler OF the South
ern Pacific Company have been sum-
moned to town and are In conference
with Noble. Ingram, Burkhalter and
all other division superintendent Of the
company west of Ell Paso and Ogden.
1t has practically been decided what
answer will be made by the engineers
and firemen. Before informing the
men 1t was deemed desirable toiget
an opinion from the division superin-
tendents.
Agler and Kruttschnitt are also con-
sulting with the several superintendent
about the &c hands Of the telegraph
operators for more pay. The COM
pany is about ready to give the opera
tors a reply to their demand.
1t appears that the average monthly
wage of the operators on the Salt Lake
division of the company is $84.95; on
the Tucson division. 1851. On all
the other divisions the pay is so much
lower it brings down the average for
the whole system TO $77.47; with the
exception of the Denver and Rio
Grande system. the operators of which
average $63 a month. the average of
the Southern Pacific is still higher
than that Of any road in the country.
The Southern Pacific operators want
the inequalities of pay on the several
divisions removed by making the mini
nun pay per month over the whole
system SIS. 1t is believed the com
pany'5 action on the demand will be
favorable.
The employees concerned in these
negotiations say the best of feeling
prevails between them and the officials
of the road.

is already clear that many millions have

Three Hundred Business Men Organize Non-P Partisan
Club Last Night to Support Him

MEMBERS ADDRESSED BY D. ". LAWLER

The Robert A. Smith Business Mems
club was organized at Raudenbush hall
last evening with a membership of nearly
800, which it is expected will be more
than doubled before the next meeting.
The organization is essentially one of
business men and is made up Of repre-
sentatives of all lines of commercial in
dustry and Of all political parties. 1t Is
non bipartisan and even non-political in
its character, having for its sole purpose
the reelection of Robert A. Smith as
mayor, regardless of politics. The Of
fcers thus far elected are John w.
Owens, president; Reuben Warner Jr.,
Harry Wagner and Edward Murnane,
vice presidents, and Stanley Haigh, sec
retary.
Notwithstanding the extremely cold
and disagreeable weather the hall was

GENERAL LEGISLATION
TO BE BARRED
JOINT COMMITTEE ON RULES PRO
POSES SOME IMPORTANT
CHANGES.

The joint committee on rules yester-
day afternoon attempted to put up the
bars against general legislation and at
the same time provide for the accomoda-
ton of the senators and representatives
who are clamoring for local and cura-
tive acts.
If the committees report is adopted by
the respective houses this morning the
lieutenant governor and the Speaker will
be called upon each to appoint special
standing committee of five members, Of
ficialIy designated as committee on the
reception of bills The rules will be en-
tirely new and will be known as Nos
6S and 50 in the senate regulations and
as Nos. IS and &C in the house rule book
The first new rule covering the sub
ject of permissible legislation is broad
enough to suit most of the legislators
and still strict enough to prevent the
prostitution of the tax bill session to a
heterogeneous mass of bills framed for
leg pulling purposes. 1t provides for
bills on the subject of taxation curative
acts, local legislation, matters recon-
mended by the governor and leaves an
other loop hole for the Introduction of
general legislation through the machin-
cry of the time honored two-thirds or
suspension of the rules vote.
The bright particular feature Of the
rules is the provision of reception COM
mittee to pass on all bills before they
are committed to the houses. 1t shall
be it's duty to report for the considera-
ton of its branch, all bills submitted to
it, that come under either Of the enum-
Grated classes. One exception is made.
Local bills objected to by member from
the affected district shall be reported for
indefinite postponement and the same
fate is provided for bills not in the IA
vored classes, unless taken up by a two
thirds vote.
The concluding clause of the new rules,
if adopted, puts an end to the scheme
to make the tax bill a special order and
railroad it through. 1t provides that all
bills shall be referred to the proper regu-
lar standing committee. The rules for
both houses are identical with the sole

GRAND FORKS, N. D., Feb. 4-W.
E. West was placed on the stand this

he spoke readily.

+ he told of his relations with the March
family, and of the trouble he had with
March about ten days before the shoot

DULUTH. Feb. 4.-Mayor t. w. Hugo
was reelected over his old opponent,
former Mayor Henry Truelsen today after
one of the hottest campaigns I'M the
city's history, by a plurality Of eight
votes. Five of the eight aldermen elected
are Democrats. The finish was heart
breaking, and throughout the evening the
Hugo and Truelsen- -adherents in turn mad
reason to believe their candidate had
wen. Not until the last precinct of rhe
last ward had reported officially was the
result definitely known. It is certain that
Truelsen will demand a recount, and it
is very likely that another contest will
be instituted, as many Democrats believe
enough votes may have been erroneouslv
counted to give their candidate victory
if thrown out. The total vote cast ap
proximates 1900. Two years ago about
$500 votes were polled, of which Hugo
had plurality of six over Truelsen.

was not cut down.
