statement in reply to one that ap
peared in yesterdays Bulletin quot
ing General Manager Mclaughlin, OF
the Traction Co., as saying that the
linemen were discharged from his
company because of lack Of work and
incomptency.
MD. Ferguson said he had been
askel to come to Cairo month age
to form union OF the Cairo linemen,
and had succeeded in doing so, all the
llnemen in the city having joined the
union, 20 in all. employed by the
various companies using wires n
Cairo. He said there was no purpose
to create any disturbance or make
any trouble for any one, but 1t was
the purpose of the union TO promote
the general welfare of the members
by lawful and proper means, The
union Is a fraternal order, and grants
death and sick benefits, also aid IN
case OF INJURY. Schools OF instruction
are held, at which the members arc
instructed so as to make them moe
efficient in their work.
With special reference to the men
employed by the Cairo Traction 4
Light Co. he said there were six
of these, some of whom had been in
the employ of the company for some
years, and no complaint had been
made regarding their competence.
III believed the remark that they
were discharged for Incompetence
was an unjust reflection upon them.
The first intimation they had that
they were no longer wanted was a
notice when they started to work
Friday incoming, that their services
were dispensed with, and this was
the morning following the night on
which the union was formed.
Mr.. Ferguson said further that the
linemen in Cairo worked under less
satisfactory conditions than the like
class of men elsewhere. The Me
Kinley system is mnionized evety
where except in Cairo. and paid GOO
wages. In Madison, ILL.,, where thf
Mckinley road crosses the river int
st. Louis. the Mckinley linemen
were paid 1876 day for eight hours
work. In Cairo the pay WAS 50 81
day for ten hours work. Some
time ago the men had asked for 81
nine hour day, but their request hat
been entirely ignored.

One of the striking demonstra-
lions made by the submarine Is
that the main body of a battleship,
