LANSING, Mich. Jan. 11.-(Special)
The proposal lately introduced into
the con-con by delegate Cranor, still
sleeps in the committee, but he says
pressure will be brought to pull 1t out

posal relates to the fellow-servant Law
and is wanted by the railroad train
men.
George Il. Gum Is still on the
ground with an eye constantly on this
measure and earnestly watches these
interests OF his fellow trainmen. He
says force may be required to oull
it out Of that committee and suggests
that 1t may be necessary to sidetrack

in power, a mogul engine will be
brought into use-meaning that u
