FIRED FOR REFUSAL TO
TEST COMMERCIAL WIRES
Grievance COmmitte of 0, R,
t Called to Meet in Denver
to Take Up Cases of Men
Discharged on Rio Grande,

Denver, Sept. ga. H. Wasson, of
this city, chairman OF the general
committee of the Order of Railway
Telegraphers in Colorado, today called

er the cases of II. H. Skeggs, wire
chief and manager of the telegraph
office of the Denver and Rio Grande
railroad at Grand Junction. and
Frank Schaum, operator for the same
road at Mack. a station just west of

fusing to obey the instructions con-
cerning the testing of Western Union
wires running along the railroad right
of way.
According to his story, Skeggs was
ordered to test the Western Union
wires out Of Grand Junction running
to Salt Lake, and he refused. He was
called to Denver TO explain his action.
and his statement not being satisfac-
tory, he was discharged. To-day
Schaum was ordered to test the West
ern Union wire between Grand juno
tlon and Salt Lake, and he refused,
He was discharged on the spot. The
meeting is to be held as soon as the
members of the general committee

OCTOPUS MAY
CHANGE ITS
NAME
CONFERENCE OF STANDARD
OIL INTERESTS CALLED
Capital Stock to be Increased
and Other Innovations Made
According to Report, Which
Vice-PreSident Denies,

New York, Sept. 23-A representa-
tive of the Standard Oil company said
today that the statement that a con-
ference of Standard Oil interests has
been called for the purpose of chang
ing the name of the company and eff
fecting a reorganization in general IS
without foundation. I'VE can do
nothing in this respect so long as the
company is under investigation.
can say, however, that as soon as the
Standard Oil company has freed itself
from the labyrinth of litigation now
involving it there will be reorgani-
zation. The capital stock will be in
creased to an amount more in har-
mony with the value of its assets, say
to 100000, 900 or $500,000,00O. We
also propose to issue periodical state
ments of earnings operations. etc. We
propose to give to the government ev-
erything in the way of information
that 1t calls for, which Is all we can
do. If we are guilty of certain in
fractions of the law then practically
all other corporations are guilty of the
same Offenses and should be treated
accordingly, but we are confident we
will win out" Later in the day, af-
ter the above interview had been pub
lished, John d. Archbold, vice presi-
dent of the company, said the state
ment to the effect that the Standard
Oil company is about to confer as to
changing its name, its Incorporation,
and so forth, is unauthorized and un-
true
