Keenan's Bi-Weekly Pay Bill.

At secret meeting OF employees of the Long
Island Railroad. held yesterday afternoon. 1t was
decided to enlist the services OF all employees OF
tho company to obtain support for the bill now at
Albany, which provides that the railroad company
shall pay its employees biweeky. instead OF month
ly, at present.
Senator Keenan,. who represents President Roose-
Velts home district in the State Senate introduced
the bill in question. at the request OF a committee
OF employees Of the railroad company and he said
yesterday afternoon that he had doubt OF it's
passage through both houses of the legislature
and the signing of the bill by Governor Higgins.
What makes IL hard for me Is that the COM
mltteemen who requested me TO introduce the bill
must not make themselves known, or else they
will lose their places" said Senator keenan,
From an old employee OF the company II was
learned yesterday that the believe that they
are victims of the credit system.

HOCKEY.

For the first time in an intercollegiate cham
pionship game two referees We're used on Satur-
day. when Yale lined UP against Princeton.
This was suggested in The Tribune some two
weeks ago and is bound to make for good. It is
impossible for one official ii would seem, TO keep
the game as clean it should be, and the game
must be clean and free from unfair tactics if it
is to grow and prosper. This week will be
important one in hockey circles. Yale and
Harvard will face each other Saturday for
the intercollegiate championship with a clean
record. The game is likely TO be a good one. If
anything Harvard has shown the more finished
game but the loss Of Willets at point may count
against the seven and turn the tide in favor Of
Yale. In the Amateur Hockey League two
games are scheduled this week St Nicholas
win meet the Hockey Club OF New-York on
Tuesday at the St Nicholas Rink. and the
Crescent Athletic Club and the New-YoTk Ath-
letic Club will face each other on Thursday at
the Clermont Avenue Rink, in Brooklyn. This
last game is likely to play an important part in
the disposition of the title. If the Crescents
win their chances Of eventually earning the
championship bright If defeated all hope
IS gone The Mercury Foot team won on their
first meeting, and there is the keenest rivalry
between the two seVens, one of the fastest games
of the season is in prospect.
