President zelaya. Of Nicaragua, has I'm

The Nicaraguan President has ceased TO

here that practically all Central America

That Zelaya plans a confederation u the

Jion is confirmed by a dispatch which The
State Department received yesterday
morning from United States Consul Oh

Unlouist candidate for President OF Sal

Thus FAR an the reports which have
reached Washington indicate that the

The remarkable feature Of the outbreak

RAILROAD MEN DECEIVED.

The politicians who managed the Conner campaign In Montgomery county last year boasted on the streets that they inveigled a number of railroad men in the city into voting for Gov ernor Conner in the primary. notwith- standing his warfare on the railroads. The returns from the two city beats in Montgomery in which most of the engineers. trainmen and employees live, show that there was truth in the boastfuI claims of the smooth politi- clans.
 The news of yesterday contained the statement that twenty live car work CTS in this city were reluctantly dis charged by the Western of Alabama. The officials of the Western had no hesitancy in saying that this action was forced on them by adverse rail-

road iegisiation in Alabama and Geor- gia. In Georgia the rates on the west ern have been steadily lowered. In Alabama the Western is in the courts protesting against the new rates. but the taxes have been largely raised.
 On the other hand. as shown by the undisputsd statement of Superintendent Cox. there has been in recent years q tremendous increase of operating ex- penses. No reasonable man doubts this for every article offered for sale. except transportation. hss- increased in price. On two different occasions the West ern has raised the pay of the men. the increases amounting to fifteen per cent.
 As a.~result of such condition the curtaiiing of expenses was inevitable. The men suffer. The forced discharge of twenty-five men. all of whom are skilled and well paid workmen. will not seriously disturb business condi- tions in Montgomery but it will affect them, nevertheless.
 The announcement was made few days ago that the Atlantic Coast Line had called off it's contracts for the building of the extensive terminals in Montgomery, for which plans had been drawn and accepted. No reasonable man believes there will be any costly extension or improvement in railroad property in Montgomery. or elsewhere in Alabama for that matter. during the present administration.
 Were any of the twenty-five men who lost their positions. because of ad- verse legislation, among those who. ac- cording to the boast of the local poli- ticians. were deceived into voting for MT. Conner? Their comrades among the railroad workers undoubtedly feel a sympathy for the unfortunate workers. whose families are suddenly left with out support. And yet some of them helped MT. Conner in his attacks upon railroad property, which is the stay and support of all railroad employees. It would be interesting to know just what the present opinion of the rail- road men in Montgomery is of the pro- fessional politicians who shrewdly de- ceived them into voting for the present Governor.
