HELD UP MILWAUKEE, MAYOR.
Highwaymen Frightened Away When
He Displayed His Badge of Office.

Milwaukee, Aug. IA bold at
tempt was made last night on the
Whiteflsh Bay road to hold up Mayor
Sherburn M. Becker. The mayor and
his chauffeur were speeding along, in
tent on reaching the Country club,
where the mayor had an engagement
Suddenly, a short distance ahead, a
light was swung back and forth across
the road.
The mayor, who was driving, shut
off power and put on the brakes,
thinking that some accident had hap
pened, or that there was q break in
the road. When he had brought his
automobile to a stop he found himself
looking into the muzzle of revolver,
while voice said;
Now, then, turn over whatever you
have with you, and do 1t quick"
Mayor Becker, although startled by
the sudden demand, pulled back his
coat, showing his star, and saying:
'eThis is all | have with me just now"
The highwaymen took glance at
the gold star and, evidently thinking
they had held up police official, shut
off their light and made jump for
the fence on the side of the road, dis
appearing quickly The mayor pro-
ceeded to the Country club, and from
there telephoned the police. Detec-
tives were sent out at once, but no

new schedule OF WAGES
FOR LOCAL TROLLEYMEN
Meeting Tomorrow in Re-
Spouse to Demands
of Men.

Notice was given to the members of
the trolleymen's union in this city
yesterday that there will be a Joint
meeting of the day and night men to-
morrow morning at which action will
be taken on the new schedule of
wages proposed by officials of the Con-
necticut company in response to a de-
mand from the men of q 1-2 cents an
hour for regular work and IS cents
an hour for overtime. This was the
main point of their demand but they
have other things they want adjusted
officials Of the company seen yes
terday said 1t would not be courteous
to the men to tell what the roads
proposition was before the men them
selves had been informed on the point
by their committeeman. The officers
of the union took the ground that to
give out the schedule at this time
would be breach of confidence.
The demand was backed UP by the
organized trolleymen of the state
Hartford is said to be pleased with it
and the New Haveners may be also,
and If they take this ground New
London Norwich, Bridgeport and 9TH
er cities, including Waterbury, which
is the latest acquisition in the trolley
unionranks, having nowrecovered from
the disruption of the union up there
a few years ago, will probably fall in
line and take what the company gives.
Despite the usual cloud of doubt
which all interested like to throw
about the trolley matters, it can be
stated without fear Of contradiction
that the trolleymen did not get the
full amount of the advance asked for.
Take the wage scale here, for instance.
The men at present are paid from 81
cents an hour to rs cents, according
to the length of their service. 1t takes
man eight years to reach the maxi
mum wage limit. What the company,
according to reliable authority, pro-
poses to do is to leave the maximum
at rs cents an hour or very near IT.,
but place the beginners on better
rate than they now receive, and in
stead of being advanced half cent an
hour, after each year Of service, their
raise at the end Of every year will be
greater, so that possibly in four or
five years they will reach the rs cent
limit.
This action is just what the conser-
vative members of the trolley union
expected and it was what members Of
the general executive committee had
looked for, so there will be little dis
appointment in the matter except
among those who were willing to
stand out for the full demand. These,
fortunately, are small minority of
the men.
