RAILROAD OFFICIALS
Do NOT FEAR STRIKE
Think Matter OF Middle
Brakeman Can Be Salts
factorily Arranged

In the hands of a committee ap-
pointed yesterday to investigate the
matter is the general protest made by
Pennsylvania railroad employees regard

removal of the middle brakeman from
the freight trains. The committee will
make its report tomorrow night
There is talk of strike but the Off
cials of the road feel confident there

have to go through a regular channel
Committees from the trainmen on
each division who are more directly
affected by the recent order will call
upon their respective trainmasters and
ask them to adjust the trouble. Fail
1 ing i'm all other efforts they viii call
upon General Manager Atterbury.
Should his decision ne unfavorable. the
question viii then be taken up directly
with Mr.. Atterbury. and if the griev-
ances are not adjusted to the satisfac-
/ tion of the grand officers. the question
will then be placed before the brother
hood for definite action. If two thirds
of the members agree to strike. the
strike will be called without delay.
The men employed on the road claim
it is not the extra amount of work they
object to but the danger they are sub
I jected to with only two men to handle
a big train of cars. on the other hand
the officials say that with the air
brakes the, middle brakeman is unne-
cessary.
The same trouble is being faced by
the road on the division east Of Pitts
burg. What the local division will dc
Will be made known tonight when the
committee makes its report.
/ There is another point that will have
a tendency to keep the men I'm their
positions. That is the age limit. Many
employed here are more than thirty
five years old. If they leave this em-
ppy of the company they cannot Sc
cdre work again as men more thar

UNION REPUBLICANS
ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
Addicks Against One Ticket
Unless Regulars Hand
Over Two Lower Counties

At a meeting Of the Union Republi-
can State Committee held on Saturday
afternoon at the Offices of J. Edward
Addicks, 10. 1905 King street, resolu-
uons were adopted declaring against
one State ticket and one ticket i'm this
county unless the Regular Republicans
should agree to common primaries in
Kent and Sussex counties.
This is on the assumption that the
Regular Republicans of New Castle
county hand over to the Union Repub-
ncan organization the Regulars Of
Kent and Sussex, and is regarded as
the most amazing proposition Addicks
has yet made.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, The Union Republican
party comprises large majority Of the
Republican vote of this State, and b.
Whereas, Ii has twice been recog-
nized by the National Republican
party as the regular Republican party
of Delaware, and
Whereas, 1t has Intellectually made
proposition after proposition Of the
fairest character for harmony, peace
and Republican success. and
Whereas. The Union Republican
party of Kent and Sussex counties
have been unable for eight years past
to have a common primary and one
ticket, but have been compelled I'm or
der to achieve success to fight not only
the Democratic organization. but a
minority Republican organization as
well. although the Union Republican
party of New Castle county during an
this time agreed and gave a common
primary TO the voters thereof. therefore
be it
Resolved, That the city and county
committees Of the Union Republican
party of New Castle county ask for an
equitable agreement upon one state
ticket and "a common primary i'm coun-
I ty matters in the counties of Kent and
common primary I'm the county of New
/ Castle. and If this reasonable, equit-
able and patriotic demand is not ac-
ceded 10, we hereby announce our de-
termination to refuse common pri-
mary and one ticket i'm the county of
| New Castle and our purpose to nomi-
/ nate a straight ticket at Union Re-
publican primaries and submit the
same to the Judgment and the sense
of fairness of the whole people"
After the adoption Of the resolution

Addicks, United States Senator ]
