The Elks Club was the scene last Mon
day evening of one of the most brilliant
social affairs that has taken place in
classic Richmond for many a day. The
occasion was the annual banquet of the
Women's Club and seated around the
festive board was fifty four, which in
cluded several guests of the club, who
were honored on this occasion. Mrs.
Eugene Walker, as Toastmistress, and
brilliant woman of the first order, occu-
pied this position with the ease and grace
that is characteristic of herself as one of
the leading women in club circles, not
only in her own town, but in the state.

course, the loving cup was passed and
many not on the program responded.
Mrs. Thomas jefferson Smith, who is
one of the leaders in local club circles as
well as in the state organizations, spoke
on "The General Federation of Women's

ker and possesses that radiance of intel
lect which makes her quite favorite in

in a few we'll chosen words. Mrs War
field Bennett, President of the local or
ganization, and Mrs. Neale Bennett,
were the last TO respond and they very
appropriately toasted the Elks, whose
club rooms have been open to their
meetings, and round was drunk TO the
Best People On Earth. Other short
toasts were offered which were well
placed and literally applauded. The
decorations brought out valentine
scheme of unique design, the programs
and place cards being red hearts attrac-
tively gotten up and helped TO make the
occasion most brilliant one indeed.

Why Not Here.

There is a great sentiment over the
state to get the election officers for the
Democratic primary to serve without
pay. Many of the Committees have
sounded the voters and in several
instances the officers have signified their
intention of serving free from every
cost. The chief motive for this is that
it will give poor man the same show
as the rich one to enter the primary for
the various state offices. The matter
has never been taken up here by the
leaders of the parties, but it would no
doubt meet with favor from the election
officers.

The company declines this, be-

Ill. They demand that laying

The company declines this, for
the reason that it's schedules with
all other employees provide that
ability of tine individual shall be
taken into consideration in en-
ploying and promoting men and
in reducing forces.
1t is the duty of the company to
treat all employees alike and give
all fair and equal consideration, to
the end that the most Efficient.

To The Public And All Shop
Employees, Rock Island
Lines:

In view of the rumors of an i'm
pending strike of the shop en-
ployes of the Rock Island Lines.
and recognizing the right of the
the public to have full in
formation on a question that in
wolves it's welfare, rs well as one
which involves the surrender to a
committee of employees the right
to say in what manner the corpor-
alton shall perform its services to
the public, the following state
ment is submitted:
The policy of the company has
always been one of fairness to-
ward its employees. 1t has with
held retrenchment of forces as
long as possible. 1t has always
paid wages equal to those of con-
tiguous lines. Its men have always
served under working rules and
conditions as favorable as those OF
contiguous lines.
10 view of these facts and the
present business conditions of the
country, this company could moi
consider anything that contempla,
ted an increase in its expenses
and the General Committee oil
Shop Employees, at the beginning
of the conferences, over -four
months ago, were fairly advised
of this.
But, Notwithstanding that no
tice, the above committee insisted
upon pressing negotiations that
finally terminated November 10
1911.
Briefly, the issues upon which
the employees committee justify {
strike are as follows:
/. They demand that the pay
ment of five hours minimum over
time shall commence one houl
earlier than at present.
The company declines this, be
cause of increased expense, will
no compensating return.
II. They demand that any em
ploye called to work overtime
shall be released upon completion
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-11-24

ployed in keeping up running
repairs when shops are closed, and
declined for the further reason
that it prevents the company
from exercising its right to con-
duct its own business in the most
economical manner.
V. They demand that no fore
man, either regular or temporary,
be permitted to work at any time
when mechanics are available.
The company declines this, for
the reason that such a rule would
prevent the company from retain
ing its foreman and thus main
tanning its organization in times
when shops are closed.
vi. They demand that appli-
cants for employment shall only
be required to give the name. pos
ition wanted, address and address
of nearest relative"
This question also involves the
right of the company to secure the
personal records of applicanants
for employment, and, indirectly,
although not appearing in the de-
mand, the ability of the company
to apply its pension system alike
to all employees.
The pension system, created tc
care for aged employees, is frankly
opposed by the committee repres
enting the employees in the me
chanical crafts.
The company declines for th'
reason that it has one application
blank for all candidates for em
ployment. 1t cannot and will no
make any different rule for ap
plicants for employment in tn
mechanical department from tina
made for applicants for employ
ments in other departments. AL
must be treated alike.
The pension system that ha'
been established must govern al
employees from the highest to the
lowest. This company has th'
undoubted obligation to its EN-
ployes, as a class, to insist upol
these things, and, further, to know
the history of the men it is to EN-
ploy, as far as it is able to so de
termine.
In addition to the above ar
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1911-11-24

ticles, the committee demands an
increase of two cents per hour,
which, with the articles dealing
with compensation outlined above,
a tremendous increase in the ex-
penses of the company, without
contemplating any return in the
shape of additional service or Of
economy in any form.
Articles not dealing directly
with compensation seek to take
from the company its right to con-
duct its business in its own way
and to protect the interest of its
employees at large.
The mechanical committee seeks
to create a different set of rules
for one class of employees from
that which exists for all other en-
ployes. They seek to deny the
company the right which belongs
to every citizen and employer to
require persons entering his SER
vice to give evidence of good
character and sound health. A
departure from this practice, as
outlined by the rule as proposed
by the employees committee,
would permit the employment OF
diseased, incompetent, inefficient
and immoral men. No honest
man need in any way be embarras-
sed by complying with the rules
of the company in the matter Of
employment.
To the final proposition of the
Railway Company, the men have
answered advising that they will
strike if the company does no.

with the committee.

STRAIGHT-AWAY RECORD

that made the car only a blurr, Bob Bur-
man to-day mounted 10 the throne OF
speed king of the world and dethroned

Not before this year has the beach been

he seemed to be on his mettle, and would
listen to no delays. Swapping a leather

INSURGENTS STILL
INSIST ON QUOTA
Republicans in Senate Con-
tinue at Swords Points.

There was a meeting of the full men,
bership OF the Republican committee on
committees OF the Senate yesterday. The
reassembIing after the tumult OF Friday
was pursuant to the adjournment taken
after the regular Republican organiza-
ton, by a vote of seven regulars to
the insurgents four, rejected Senator
La Follette's demand for recognition
of insurgent Senators with commit
tee patronage. But It was manifest
that the wings OF the Republican ma
fest that the wings OF the Republican ma
jOrity in the Senate could not flap to-
gether. Senator La Toilette resubmitted
out the preamble which recognized the
insurgents as a separate political entity
in the Senate. But the resolution Jared
no better than before. 1t was voted down
by the same vote. seven to four. The in
surgents then offered to take up the
committees in their alphabetical order and
vote for the Republican membership. But
the regulars had evidently reconsidered
this proposition. for while they were
ready on Friday to do this they refused
peremptorily yesterday to accede to it.
The Senate leaders declared that the
long-standing rule of considering the
committees personnel collectively should
be adhered to. Thereupon an adjourn
ment was taken until Tuesday. when each
side will submit a tentative list OF COM
mittee assignments.
The outlook for harmony Is less en-
couraging than at any time heretofore.
