AlIudes to Form of Contract.

"As has been repeatedly stated to yourself and associates present at meetings with Mir. Park and myself there are in existence certain con. tracts between the Illinois Central railroad and seven Of the or ganizations represented in the fore. going communication.
 Never before in the history Of cur dealings with labor organizations have We been asked to change con. tracts. except in the usual manner provided therein, viz that the 30 days formal notice which has always been regarded as an essential feature of same, be given.
 "The required 30 days notice not having been given in the manner pro vided in each of the different con. tracts. we regard them as still in ef feet and must again decline to enter into negotiations with other agencies for the purpose of making changes therein.
 The paramount interest in this controversy is that of the shipping and travelling public, and, being con vinced that it is the ultimate purpose of the federation to consolidate the railroad service employees in one or ganization, the management does not feel that public opinion would sustain 1t in entering into an agreement which would place it in the hands Of one body the power to throttle the commerce of the country.

Madison.-A monopoly of the
air. was the term applied by Assem-
blyman Brockhausen as the ultimate
result of the Stern proposal to ex-
tend the present statute against in
ception, destruction or delaying of
Geographic messages to the wireless.
Mr., Stern had explained how mali
cious interference with a wireless
message destined for a station in Mill
waukee had almost resulted in dis
aster for a vessel in distress. The
Milwaukee socialist members de-
clared that experimenters should not
be prevented from carrying on these
experiments in a harmless manner,
and urged that the legislature exer-
else care as to how it went about to
create monopoly of the air.

REJECTS STERN RESOLUTION
Administrative Measure to Make the
Attorney Generals Office Appoint
i've Is Defeated in Assembly

Madison.-One of the administers
ton measures went down to defeat
in the assembly. but it is expected
that an effort will be made to revive
1t within few days. The measure
is the Stern resolution to amend the
COZ ~titution so that attorney generals
may be appointed instead of elected.
Leaders for some time have adj
vocated legislation that would make
the attorney generalship and the in
surance commissionership both APP
pointive Offices, their contention be-
ing that these offices demand special
technical ability and that, therefore.
they should be taken out of politics.
Advocates of the short ballot also
favor the suggestions.
When the Stern resolution came
up its author made a fight for its
adoption, but his appeal fell upon
deaf ears. Assemblyman Gettle spoke
against it as did others. Mr.. Gettle
took occasion in his speech to make
an attack on the Taft administration
and expressed the opinion that if
the United States attorney general
had been elected instead of appointed,
the present attorney general might
be proper representative of the
peoples interests.
The resolution finally was turned
down by vote of As to IL.
