TRADE BOARD
HELPING CAR MEN
Now EndeavOring 10 tlaVe
Old Wage Rate
Restored

The Wilmington Board OF Trade,
through its individual members, hav-
ing succeeded in preventing a strike
among the street car men Of this cify.
Is now working for a restoration Of the
old wage scale This admission was
made by R. J. Maclean, president CT
the board, this morning, who however.
refused to discuss the plans of the
board in the matter. Developments
OF interest are expected to be an
nouneed by Mr.. Maclean in a short
time.
The Board Of Trade has already
done much toward improving trolley
conditions in the city, and business
men, as well as other friends of the
trolley men, are pleased to know that
the board is now working for higher
wages for the men, Mr. Maclean said
the trolley men Of the city have no
better friends than the Board of
Trade, with its membership of 700
business men. "The business interests
.of Wilmington are under great obliga-
tions to the employees of the street
railway companies, said he, "and 1
am sure all the business men OF the
city feel that way. Business is i'm
proving, and this in itself is a guar
antee for the future. I am looking
forward to an early return to former
wages"

RAILWAYS HANDLE
BIG CROWDS

Circus crowds taxed Wilmington's
street car service to the extreme yes
terday afternoon and last night. The
end seat hog was routed forthwith and
the genus straphanger was in his ele
ment OF the immense crowd at the
circus grounds yesterday at least one
third used the trolleys, and the service
never showed to better advantage.
Both traction companies had pre-
pared for the crowds. and extra cars
were run on the lines going to the
circus grounds. To the conductors the
circus crowd this year was as big as
ever. but cold figures show that the
crowd was considerably less than last
year. This was due, probably, to the
threatening weather Of the afternoon
and the mud. Aside from figures,
however. the crowd was undeniably Dig
and ungainly. and It required more
than ordinary keenness on the part Of
the railways and their employees to
please. They succeeded. however.
The PEOPLES Railway carried about
5000 passengers over its Second street
or Eastlake line. This is the only line
Of the PEOPLES Company to run direct
ly to the circus grounds and extra cars
had to be nut on to accommodate the
circus-goars. The Wilmington City
Railway has a number OF lines running
TO the grounds and its traffic was con-
siderahly heavier.

GENERAL DUPONT
ON THE SITUATION

Because Of some reports to that e.
feet in political circles a reporter OF
THE EVENING JOURNAL asked Cen
eral 7. c. DUPONT this morn ng whether
It is true that he is much opposed Ia
DR.. Burton going back TO Congress-
General DUPONT replied: "The report
is entirely untrue. / am not opposed
TO DR.. Burton for Congress but think
on the other hand he has made an ex-
ceptionally good congressman, taking an
active interest in national and local
affairs that would ultimately be Of great
advantage to the State of Delaware
General DUPONT further stated: Il ne
lieve when any man fills a position well.
he should be kept in IT,"
General DUPONT said that what prob
ably started the story was that four
years ago it was understood that tie
Governor went to New Castle and the
Congressman to Sussex and that az
the next State election the governor
was to come from Sussex and the con-
gresham from New Castle. This
understanding or arrangement certain
ly having been made at that time in
entirely good faith, he thought Il couid
only be broken by an arrangement
which would be satisfactory to ali par
ties to the arrangement, because he
thought that in politics as in business
one should make but few promises or
arrangements but any promise or ar
rangement that was made should be
lived up to absolutely and in good
faith unless all parties to the arrange
ment agreed to change it.
General DUPONT further stated that
there was no question in his mind
but that the arrangement had been
made four years ago, to which the or
ganization in all three counties were
parties and he still believed that in
good faith the agreement should be
kept unless the organization in all thre =
counties desired to change it, but SC
far as DR.. Burton was concerned, he
reiterated that he thought he had made
a very able congressman and represent
ed Delaware remarkably well in the
lower house of Congress.
