MUST NOT Be GUT
Officials Of Railway Brotherhood
( Give Jut Statement Regarding
Threatened Wage Reductions. Y
NOT JUSTIFIED THEY SAY
On Mile and Trip Basis, Under Which
They Are Paid, Roads Get AZ
Good Returns from Their
Work as Ever.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 22.-Warren 8
Stone grand chief of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers Friday made
the following statement In connection
with the reported purpose OF some rail-
way companies to order a general re-
duction in the wages Of employees.
The threatened reduction OF the
wages of employees in train service is
absolutely unjustified from any point
of view. Their pay is based on mile
age basis, practically piece work and
they are only paid when these services
are performed. Wages of employees in
train service fall parallel with the
shrinkage In business, plus increased
living expenses away from home.
When their earnings are $3.50 per
month their expense of living away
from home is about 15 per cent, while
at the present reduced rate of $40
which has to be met by hundreds, I'M
der present conditions, that expense
will increase to at least 20 per cent
of earnings because they are held
away from the home terminal until
there is full tonnage train to be
handled, making total automatic re-
duction already in wages from so to
20 per cent.
1.-The roads are getting the same re-
turn In freight receipts for the service
rendered as they did when the BUSH
ness was good and there is no consist
ency In asking men to accept further
reductions than result from the pres
ent business shrinkage, and the full
power of the Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers will be used II neces-
sary in an effort to prevent any fur
Their reduction, because 1t would be
absolutely unjust"
VIM. G. Lee, assistant grand master
Of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men, speaking for his organization on
the same subject dictated the fol-
lowing:
1.-THE wage workers have not had
thing to do with this panic and loss OF +
business except to suffer from the
of some employers
and spectators who blundered in the
game Of dollars on Wall street. If he
works he produces Just as much per
hour as he ever did. His living ex-
penses are just as high as before.
"All classes of trainmen are paid
BY the mile or trip; and a reduction of
niles run or trips made means a re-
luction Of the amount paid for by the
Employer.
"There can be no good argument
PRESENTED why trainmen should re-
'eive lower trip or mileage rates for
niles run. Freight trains are not run
Inless business requires 1t. Corpora
ions never carry an overload of labor,
ut labor Is usually compelled to carry
n over load OF capitalization.
1T Is no fault Of labor that ffnan-
iers play with their money and lose,
or is 1t the business of labor to- suffer
he losses sustained when its employ
RS reach too far into the fire and get
leir fingers burned.
"Our principal business now is to
Iaintain the present standard of liv- r
lg which means to hold to the pres |,
ut standard of wages and unless all
gins fail, railroad employees will OPP
ose to the bitter end any attempt to
sduce wages"

MinidOka & Southwestern Off,
Cia|s Hold Meeting
ELECTRIC LINE PROPOSED ROUTE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ACTIVITY.
At Meeting in POcateIIO Last Week,
Officers Vote to Submit Proposed
Extention to Stockholders ut An
Early Date.

1t has seemed to be the policy of
the 0. S. l.. Ry to get busy only when
compelled to do so by fear of cOmpe-
tition and it is evident by their sud-
den activity of last week in PocatellO
that the Kuhn electric extension to
Wells has awakened the old time fear.
At any rate the officials have decided
to put the matter up to Minidoka Il
Southwestern stockholders. The peo-
pie of this tract are eagerly awaiting
a western outlet for shipping produce
but 1t is hoped that such outlet will
be furnished by competing line
rather than by the Hartman road.
The following article from the Poca-
tello Tribune shows that something
will be done shortly:
A meeting of the board of directors
of the Minidoka & Southwestern rail-
road company, subsidiary to the Ore
gon Short line was held this fore
| noon at the office of the division SUI
perintendent Of the Idaho division in
this city. G. X. Smith, secretary of
the company, came up from Salt
Lake. The other directors present
were w. H. Jones, superintendent OF
the Montana division of the Short Line,
and acting superintendent Of the Idaho
division, during the leave of absence of
Superintendent Olmstead, and D.
Worth Clark of this city, counsel for
the Short Line in Idaho and Wyoming
Plans for an extension of the M. & s.
w. from Twin Falls or some conven-
lent point on the line to Wells, New.
and plans for the Rupert-Fuller cut
off, connecting with the main line
we're discussed and approved. These
plans will later on be submitted to the
stockholders of the company, at {

CITY CALLS
FOR BONDS
Council Awaits Wishes Of Voters
on improvements.
FIRE PROTECTION TO BE GIVEN
ENTIRE CITY FOR $4,000.
Ordinance Calling for Special Election
Passed at Monthly Meeting Last
Evening. Improvements Asked for
Streets.

Last night the council and mayor
met In regular session to discuss the
many requests on the part of taxpay-
ers for fire protection and improve
ments in the streets. After viewing
the condition of the treasury it was
found impossible to spend any more
money on improvements out of the
general funds, and the council there
fore voted to put the matter up to
the voters by calling for special cleo
ton December 18th, to vote $4,000
bonds to purchase suitable fire appar-
atus and to make such improvements
as are deemed necessary to give am
pie protection to all of the city. At the
same time the voters will be asked to
vote for 1000 more to put in crossings
and culverts and to otherwise improve
the present poor condition of the
streets of the city. 1t is now up to the
taxpayers and the council feels that
the demands made upon it for i'm
provements, If absolutely necessary
should be voted and If the voters dc
not think so, all they have to do is to
vote the bonds down. Further I'M
provements will be out of the ques.
ton without such bonds.

LATEST RETURNS OF IDAHO.
Brady Elected BY Small Plurality.
Whole Ticket Carries.

Practically complete returns show
Idaho went for Taft by approximate
ly $4,000; that the plurality OF Mr..
Brady, Republican, for governor, Is
about 5000; that every candidate on
the Republican ticket is elected, al
though some by small pluralities, and
that the next legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican.
Every county in the north went for
Taft and all but Latah for Brady. The
southeast went solidly for Taft and
Brady, and practically solid for the
Republican legislative candidates.
There were some notable legislative
contests. In Bannock county ]. Frank
Hunt. speaker of the Idaho house, was
elected senator by IS votes.
In Fremont county John Hart, re-
garded as one of the strongest OF the
Republican leaders there, was elected
senator by only 125 votes
Bear Lake contributed the only
Democratic legislator from the south
east.
The present indications are that the
legislature will stand:
Senate: Republicans -, Democrats
II.
House: Republicans Al, Democrats
12.
This gives the five Nez Perce MEM
bers of the house to the Democrats,
which is doubtful The Shoshone sem
ator is also in doubt and 1t may re-
uuire the official count to decide 1t.
Other changes may be made on close
contests. There is no doubt, however,
that the legislature will be over
whelmingly Republican on joint bal
lot.
Indicated Plurallties.
The returns indicate the following
pluralities on president and governor:

UNFORTUNATE SHOOTING.
Martin Mcmillan Shot While Bent on
Halloween Fun.

An accident which marred the Hal
lowe'en sport for a number of people
occurred about II o'clock when a
number Of small boys visited the
premises OF Paul Robertson and at
tempted to put an out-building upon
a wagon and carry it off. Mr.. Robert
sons premises had been visited once
before that evening and he was in
readiness for the next visitors. Mr..
Robertson says that he merely wished
to frighten the boys and shot toward
the ground but that the bullet must
have glanced. At any rate, Martin
Mcmillan, one of the boys in the
crowd, received bullet from the re-
volver In his left leg just below the
thigh and is at the hospital at pres
ent, due to recover in a short time.
Mr.. Robertson deplores the accident
greatly and has been several times to
see his little victim. When visited
by the Times reporter Martin told his
story candidly and did not seem to
think that the shooting was inten-
tional on the part Of Mr.. Robertson.

District No. filler, Buhl, Peavey
MarOa, ROsewOrth and Butte.
RuhI

The list shows candidates from each
district 1t is expected, however, that
as many have been nominated by their
friends who have not consulted with
the ladies first Quite a few will not
try for the prizes, even though their
names are in the list; then again other
nominations will be received up until
the last of the contest.
See the Contest Manager.
Some of those who have entered
their names have visited the contest
department and have had the advan-
tage of personal interview with the
contest manager All of this class un-
derstand the contest proposition thor
oughly and are ready to try for votes
with perfect conception of what they
| must do to win.
Those ladies who have been nomin-
ated by their friends have not as yet
been personally interviewed and ma
| turally they are not as conversant
with the conditions of the contest, and
the work to be done, as are the others.
Now Is the Time.
| Now is the best time to make a start
and get votes, or promises of votes
which will be fulfilled later on.
| Make up your mind right now that
you are going to be one of the lucky
ones and strive to attain that end.
Do not wait until the last week, but
start out now and not only get votes
from your friends, but induce them to
have others to save their votes for
you also.
All the candidates should understand
that votes can be obtained in only two
ways; by coupons clipped from the
Times and by getting subscriptions to
the Times.
In each issue of the Times until the
close of the contest there will be a
coupon published, and this coupon will
be good for 10 votes.
The bulk of the votes secured by the
candidates must, of course, be by sub
scriptions.
Each paid subscription, whether old
or new, whether in advance or in ar
rears, will entitle the subscriber to
votes; the longer the subscription the
more votes will be given, and consid-
cradle more will be allowed on the
new subscriptions.
Be Determined.

tial points in every venture, provided
success is the standard for which you

your success will be limited unless
someone else does the work and you
receive the credit.
Be determined, and do not, simply
because another meets with more sue

ergies. couple them with ambition and
make the goal yourself
Right now is the time. the business

WAS THE FRANCHISE POLITICAL

The Stateoman now says II is poll
tics to say few good and practical
things should have been inserted in
the franchise, instead Of lot of tech
nical amendments.
Anyone comld see frcm the am md :
mcnts presented by the Statesman
reporter that they were got up from
a purely technical and political view
point TO EAIBARRASs THE STREET
! CAR COMPANY.
II that was not doing things for
political effect, what in the world was
IL?
Furthermore, no mere reporter
could get up the pages and pages OF
hair-splitting technical and legal OBJ
jections, IN NONE OF WHICH THE
PEOPLE TOOK ANY REAL INTER
EST.
That was the fine work of polite
al ambition, some aspiring political
gamester playing his fine game at
the expense OF the community.
In Vancouver a franchise was
granted on condition that the street
car corporation run five miles in
loop In tho country, and that was
done, and tho whole loop is BEING
BUILT UP INTO SUBURBAN
HOMES.
II the Portland General had been
asked doccntly TO extend it, service ,
to Liberty, in consideration OF get
ting a decent franchise that might !
have been done. and tho business
men OF the city would be the gamers. |
As II is nothing of any substantial
value has been gained, and IL has
boon all p. litics. THE POLITICIAN !
WHO PLAYED THIS GAME WILL
PROBABLY BE PRODUCED LATER !
The mal who tries 10 use the city |
government for political purposes IS
making mistake.
This city has serious problem be- /
fore 1t, and politics, SHOULD PLAY /
But SMALL PART IN CITY AND

FUNDING THE CITY DEBT.

The city council deserves credit
for passing an ordinance to create a
sinking 'und to pay off the city debt.
Aldermen Grcenbaum and Eldridge
deserve especial credit for getting
up tho ordinance IN IT'S PRESENT
FORM.
II originally contained clause to
have the neyor appoint a commission
of three persons to handle the sink
ing fund.
This was struck out and the sink
ing fund will be handled just the
same as other fund.- BY THE CITY
TREASURER.
Who got up the idea OF commits
sion is not known but 1t was in tn ere
and when pointed out by The Journal
was struck out
Nineteen thousand dollars OF sew
er bonds expire in December of next
year and WILL HAVE TO BE RE-
FUNDED.
Sixty-fivo thousand dollars OF
bonds expire February 2. 1909, and
will havo to be provided for by the
incoming city council.
or course It is rather late to start
n sinking fund, but better ate than
never. THE FUND HoULD BEGIg

ing fund of any kind, started even
now, and let us keep up te good work
