 Bradford F. Harrington and Ernest l.. Arnold are the Providence conduc- tors who at present have the new runs to New Haven, and the Air Line di- vision is sending over two of it's crews to perform the other half of the ser vice. The equipment and men that leave here at 9 a. m lay off in New Haven from 1:12 to 6:02 D. m, and arrive in this city at lO:O5 D. m.
 As this equals about two days aver age mileage, the men lay off alternate days. The New Haven crew arrives here at 12:G5 D. m. and stars back at 4:25 D. m. These men, too, run every other day. Four crews are required for the work, and, as they run about 112 miles each way, or PA miles every other day, they earn, under the con- tracts betwen company and employees. six full days pay week.
 Runs from Worcester to Williman. tic by way of this city have not been unknown for several years, an6 the latest program" includes some of these. The trip is 102 miles each way.
 On the Highland and Midland divis- ions, or old New York and New Eng land main line, run new this week is from East Hartford to Boston and return in day. 230 miles, with Iav-off the next day. There has been talk of this run being extended so as to start from and end at Waterbury. which would make it 300 miles, every other | day.
 While the new deal unouestionab1 has due regard to the saving of mon- ey for the company. many of the changes are not for that purpose. as those familiar with the method ot paying employees can demonstrate. A train crews working day is not moro than 100 miles nor more than eleven | hours work, counting from thirty minutes before leaving the initial point | lO ufAiN oll bdNh dt tue tHu or the day Overtime and overmileage are paid fo, as extra, and there are few passenger crews that are not paid in excess ot the schedule day wages.

LONGER CREW RUNS Through Service to Providence Now by Way of Willi-
 mantle. NEW PROGRAM IN EFFECT Gets More Miles From Men for Less
 Proportionate ..-4 Cost.
NEW PROGRAM IN EFFECT

Through train service between this city and New Haven by way of Will limantic and the Air Line division is now being given by the New Haven road, says the Providence Journal This arrangement, while it accommo- dates a certain amount of local travel between the stations on the Provi- dence- -Willimantic branch and points on the Air Line division, such as Hast Hampton, Cobalt, Colchester, Middletown, etc, is primarily a fea- tire of a new "crew program" which assigns four engines, trains and train crews to through service between here and New Haven.
 A shake-up. gradual but thorough, has been going on for several weeks in the runs" or days work of the en- zine and train crews all over the New Haven road. Regular patrons of the road have noticed new faces daily as they looked for familiar conductors and brakemen. It will be a week or more at lelst before tho ''crew pro- gram" on assignments to trains have settled down to anything like perma- nrncy on the Worcester divison, off, iicials say.
 All over the road such changes in the work of the men are taking place, inc tendency being to get more miles from employees for proportionately less money, according to the general view of the policy among railroad men This, however, is by no means the case always, as avoidance of extra switching, of needless congestion of terminal yards and of waste time fol the men is quite as much of a factor in the encouragement, the company's representatives say. The latter was the case with the change in the Provi. dence, Willimantie and New Haver service. The new idea avoids caring for engines and cars at Willimantic leaving this work for the larger points wher it can be done better, and it re. lieves Willimantic yard of congestion
 Then, a railroad official explains, il order to get these advantages of the long, straightaway runs and at tht same time not put the men to thu expense of being away from home ev' cry other night, the work was arrang- ed, in accordance with the expressed preference of the men. to give dou ble days work every other day. witt every night and alternate days a home.

! Proceeding with the examination,
Attorney Selig was unable to find
J any cause for challenging Mr.. Sew

the case, at the time Haywood was
on trial in Idaho, and said that he
had formed an opinion as to the
guilt of Adams. though it was not
so fixed that it could not be removed
by the evidence and the law.
