Arthur b. Baker. motorman, and G. J.

Company, against the notice posted by
the management prohibiting conductors
from purchasing food or tobacco for
FnctOrmen. were discharged by the com
Bany today.
Following the discharge of the two
men W. Z. Phillips, supervising in
spector CT the railway, took down the
notice which caused the trouble.
There has been no legitimate protest
agains. any orders issued by this com
pany, declared superintendent Theo-
dOre J." King today, when seen regard
ing a published report that employees Of
that company were about to appoint a
committee to call upon President John
r. Mclean and ask TO have a certain
order withdrawn.
This report emanated from employees
who were discharged for good and suf-
ficient reasons" added superintendent
King. They haev been hanging around
the office ever since in uniform, and
perhaps have imposed upon some per
sons because Of the fact that. as they
sWn their own clothes, they cannot be
prevented from wearing them. The or
der ! issued did not use the word
caught" and the published copy of it
was otherwise garbled, The order did
read this way:
Copy of Order.
q" It has come TO the attention Of the
management that conductors have been
buying tobacco. food and drinks for
their motormen. Hereafter. any cOnduc-
tor or mOtOrmln who furnishes any OF
the above articles TO each other will
be dismissed, as no honest employe can
afford to furnish such articles to those
employed with him.
"A discharged emplOye made a copy
of this order and gave II TO a friend.
In my Office this morning, before wit
nesses. he declared that he had never
been treated better in his life than when
in the employ Of this company"
AT the offices OF the president Of the
road, and OF William f Hart. his repre-
sentative in Washington, 1t was learned
that no delegation OF employees had
called there today.
Conductors "Sore."
It was Iso learned that some Of the
conductors do not relish the Implication
that they n,,tst be dishonest, If they IA
vor their mOtormen. One of them said
that sometimes when and the motorman
are obliged 10 run the car during meal
time without being able TO get away, he
gets mis- COWOTker a sandwich and a cup
of coffee. He fails 20 see how he must
be dishonest if ne does this with the
motorman S money.
Superintendent King says that the
compauy's orders are Open TO the pub
lie He exhibited several of the recent
ones, showing that great precautions are
being taken for the safety of the public.

GAINES CONFIDENT
Of BRYAN VICTORY
Tennessean Says Many Re-
publicanS in West Are
Bryanites.

Representative John Wesley Gaines, Of
Tennessee, who arrived In Washington
today, declared himself extremely well
satisfied over the prospects for Bryans
election. Mr.. Gaines came here from
Tennessee, but in recent Weeks he has
been In Colorado, Kansas, and Okla
homa
while in the West" said Mr.. Gaines,
Il talked with a large number of vot-
ers. l was amazed at the number Of
Republicans who told me they intend
ed to vote for Bryan I found they
would support Bryan on two PROPOSE
tions, Government guarantee OF bank
deposits and the labor question. The
guarantee Of deposits is the basis of the
support of Bryan among Republicans.
so far as I talked with them, and fire.
quently this is coupled with the fact
that Bryan is looked on as the sincere
friend of labor"
Has Labor ote.
Mr.. Gaines believes there is no ques-
ton that Bryan is going TO get bulk
of the labor vote He told of riding on
train from Kansas City to Oklahoma
City. Il talked with the trainmen," he
said, ''and found that from the en-
gineer to the hagman they all intended
10 vote for Bryan. The conductor told
me that the railroad employees generally
were for Bryan"
According to NJ. Gaines, the PROPOSE
ton for the Government guarantee Of
deposits is sweeping the country like
wildhTe and Taft and the Republican
leaders are on the wrong end of the
proposition.
Discussing the situation in different
States. MIR Gaines said: kansas viii
be for Bryan. He has a good show of
carrying the state on the proposition
tlOn stands now. He will stand an in
creasinglY good show as the time for
election approaches. OF course, there is
no question about Oklal .oma Missouri

carry it by a large ma iority ] talked
with a number of people in Colorado
who said to me: We are all for Bryan
out here.

Bryan will carry Kentucky by a large
ma jority. Tennessee will be Democratic
without doubt in my opinion The Re-
publicans have two sets Of electors
nominated and two candidates for gov
ernor and / do not believe they will set
together"
On the whole, Mr.. Gaines believes
Bryau's prospects for election are good
and growing better,
Mr. Gaines VIII participate actively in
the campaign from now on lie viii

NOT SO MANY SEEDS
Congressman Are Told They
Will Not Have as Many
For Distribution.
HIGH PRICES RESPONSIBLE

Washington. Dec. 16.-Like a clap
out of a clear sky has come the an
nouncement to the Indiana congress
men that their supply Of garden seeds
has been cut down. The news has just
been broken to the congressman in a
letter from Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson.
There is not single soft and as
suaging sentence of the secretarys let
ter, but in cold-blooded and merciless
language he merely states that where
as the congressman have been getting
1900 packages of seeds heretofore,
they will get hereafter only 10000
packages of seeds until such time as
the price of seeds returns to a normal
basis.
In other words, one-sixth of the con-
gressmen's supply of garden seed has
been cut off, all because of the high
price which the government has to pay
for the seeds.
