RAILROAD CLERKS SHOWING SIGNS OF
 DISSATISFACTION
Can't Get Results in Attempt to Secure Encouragement of
 Hours and Wages

Local clerks employed with the New Haven road are discussing today. the 1 circular that was issued throughout the system yesterday from the gen era1 committee of the railroad clerks having to do with the progress of the committee seeking to effect a rear rangement- of the working hours and
 an increase in wages for the clerks. The circular is signed by R.G. Stearns
 of Providence, general chairman of the. clerks. It shows that the 5000 odd clerks are not satisfied with their progress in attempting to secure through R." J. Horn, vice president operation, the changes they desire. It was also said that if the clerks could not work out this agreement fhey b TeuId 6es9 com of ofn fb wth E 1 union the New Haven, to obtain their end.
 The matter has been under debate with Mr. Horn for several weeks. both from MT. Manion and from J. J. For rester, the vice grand president of the Broth herhood of Railroad Clerks, who have been called in.
 According to the circular, MT. For rester had an audience with MT. Horn at his Boston office. At this time MT. Horn said that he did not deem it ad- visab1e to enter into any scheduled negotiations with any committee un- til after tho decision of the arbitra- neers' questions had been made pub lie. MT. Forester was indignant over this.
 Following upon this MT. Horn sent a letter to MT. Forester and Stearns dated Boston, September 13,' which reads:
 "Gentlemen: Confirming our con- Versation today with your committee the management will within fifteen days after the decision of the arbi- tration committee in the engineers case is made public, meet your com 1l1ittee and discuss to a conclusion the question of rules and wages It is also understood that your committee is to bring in whatever arguments it may see fit as to the date when a new agreement, if any is made, shall be- come effective, and also freely dis cuss the question of passes"
 The definite date for this hearing has not yet been fixed, because thus far no one knows for a certainty what the engineers arbitrators have decided upon. It has been reported that this committee has reported, but there is no record of it at the Yellow building in New Haven, and no one has seen any such report in railroad circles. e
 The report is so near the point of coming out, however, that the clerks are very anxious about it. The clerks received an increase in pay in 1910 Two thousand of them received an additional advance of about ten per cent. at that time. They call, among other things, for a minimum wage of $2.25 per day and an eight-tour day. They now get $1.9O per day and time and q half for overtime

got to be placed somewhere. Now Governor Wilson in a recent speech declared very positively that he doesn't t believe in the commission form of gov ernment. The Democratic candidate has decl ared that he would make war upon the commission form of govern ment. When MT. Wilson was made governor of New Jersey one of the big things he did was to establish a Public Utilities commission ana ana good for that state. But now he must fight that form of government > l can't understand why it is he changes his attitude
 In speaking of state issues aside from his promises relative to direct primaries, MT. Smith said that he shall give his full power to remove all corporate interests from the gov- ernment of the state, allowing such interests to have only the privileges and rights that they are entitled to and nothing more .---.
 MT. Rozelle spoke principally from the workingnan's viewpoint He said that he has given 31 years of his life toward securing remedial legislation for the working man in this state Through organized labor he has se- cured the only protection that he has ever received.
 Some of the measures which he as a, labor union paan has worked for this state, are now embodied in the na-- tionaI and state platforms of the Fro gressive party That is why he Is a Progressive He spoke of the manner in which the employers liability act was handled in the state legfs1ature and declared that this secre1tve method could not be repeated If the Progressives are in power because there is a plnak in the Progressive state platform which proposes to give access to records which show how every member of the state legislature votes and also to have stenographic reports of all legislature proceedings which reports are open to the public. He declared that the workinnnen are the basis Of all government because they are the most numerous The sneaker said the Progressive platform is full of living, breathing issues that deserve the thought of every working

Chancellor Pitney long has been a

beyond the Mississippi river. At one
time it seemed certain he would name
Judge William G. Hook of the United
States circuit court, and again it was
believed Secretary Charles Nagel, Of
ne department of1commeTce and labor,
would be the presid ent's choice ,
There was a protest against Judge
Hook, because of his decisions in two
Oklahoma cases, one involving the q
cent fare law and the other the "Jim
Crow" car law The latter case in
which Hook decided in favor of the
railroads and against the contention Of
the negroes affected, is said to have
been the final cause3of the presidents
turning from the Kansas jurist. M
Labor organizations protested
against Secretary Nagel on the ground
that he had been too lenient in the
enforcement Of the immigration laws,
