ERDMAN ACT INVOKED.
Threatened Strike on Southern Rail
roads to Be Arbitrated,

Threatened Strike on Southern Rail.
roads to Be Arbitrated.
Mediation under the provisions of
the Erdman act of 1898 has been
agreed to by the representatives of the
eleven railroads operating in the terri
tory south of the Ohio river and east
of the Mississippi river and the repre-.
sentatives of the $4,000 conductors and
trainmen employed on those roads as
a means of averting the threatened
strike. which. if called, gave promise
Of completely demoralizing traffic on
these roads for an uncertain period of
time.
Martin A. Knapp, chief juctce of the
commerce court, and Charles p Neill,
United States commissioner of labor,
were requested by the representatives
Of the two contending parties to act as
mediators. Both men accepted.
In the dispute. which began last
April, between the eleven railroads
and their employees about $4,000 men
are involved. and their demands for
an increase in wages would amount to
about 16 per cent. number of con-
ferences We're held at Washington. but
no agreement could be reached. The
employees of these roads insist that
their hours and wages should be equal
to those employed on the western rail
roads
Some weeks ago the question of call
ing a strike was submitted to the EN-
ployees. and it is understood it carried
by large majority.
The railroads involved include the
Southern. Atlantic Coast line, Sea
board Air line. Queen and Crescent
(north and SOUTH, New Orleans. Mo
bile and Chicago, Central of Georgia.
New Orleans Great Northern. Mobile
and Ohio. Tennessee Central and Geor-
gia Southern and Florida.

UNIONS AGAINST WAR.

|. In furthering the cause of in
|. ternatiOnal arbitration through a
/. federation of existing organiza-
|. tons the labor movement, both
/. because of its character and of
I its extent, would furnish one of
|. the strongest elements. -
I The labor movement extends
|. the length and breadth of the
/ United States. There is hardly
. a city of consequence where this
: movement is not organized, and
. its total numbers reach into mil
. lions. Here, then, is a move
. ment organized and ready to be
: utilized as an ally for the cause
. of peace and which would be a
: powerful ally in the effort to
make articulate the growing
: feeling for the arbitration of in
ternational disputes, a movement
peculiarly in harmony with the
. sentiment that war has no place
among the institutions of the
Christian civilization which we
profess to be struggling to build
up.-Charles p. Neill

POSTAL CLERKS RAISED.
Men In Railway Mail Service to Get
Hiqher WAGES.

Higher Wages.
Promotion for $4,000 railway postal
clerks which took effect Oct l. came
as the result Of vecent order issued
| by Postmaster crerul Hitchcock.
In the railway mail service there are
1900 clerks. and a majority of those
not promoted now will receive more
pay before the end of the current fiscal
year.
More than S1.0000O0 a year will be
involved in the increases. but the gov
eminent will not bear the cost. Mr.
Hitchcock has perfected a plan to save
that amount by a rearrangement of
railway mail car space
The new law provides for three class.
es of railway postal lines. with their
transfer and terminal Offices The com.
pensation will be highest for lines on
which work is heaviest. Beginning
with 5000 year, all clerks who render
faithful and efficient service will re-
ceive annual promotions of 500 until
they reach the maximum of the sue
cessive annual grades. after which they
may be promoted for specially meri-
torious service until their pay reaches
$500 year. Chief clerks in the rail
way mail service will receive salaries
of $2,0tl0
Hitherto it has been the custom to
promote railway clerks only when va.
cancies occurred through death resig-
nation or removal. Hereafter they will
have assurance of annual promotions.
This is the method applied satisfac-
torily for several years in adjusting the
compensation of postoffice clerks and
city letter carriers, but the range of
salaries for railway clerks will be high
er because of the hazardous nature Of
their employment.

NOTES FOR THE LABOR PRESS

Eastward, a government of the people
by the people and for the people wendt
its way.
Ohio has adopted initiative and refer
endum constitutional amendments by
good strong majorities.
These reforms, denounced by the kept
press everywhere. are now a part of fiji
teen state constitutions.
Five other states. including Washing
ton, will by a vote of the people on No
vember ;, 1912, say whether they want
the initiative and referendum in their
state constitutions.
The voters have never refused to adopt
these principles, if submitted in a form
satisfactory to the real friends of direct
legislation.
In Our State.
The amendments pending in our state
are in splendid form and without the
iokers which too frequently make them
useless after adoption.

PLEADS GUILTY TO MURDER.
One Of Kaufman Suspects Admits Kill
ina Chicago Woman.

Chicago, Feb. 20-Fred Bonehaln. one
of the four men indicted for the muir
Ger Of Mrs. Hattie Kaufman. appeared
in Judge Kersten's court yesterday and
entered formal plea Of guilty.
Boneham's action, tho expected.
caused stir among the other defend
ants. They have elected to fight the
prosecution, altho all have made con-
LESSONS and have been hoping against
hope that Boneham would decide to
stand with them. The latter. however.
has concluded to make clean breast
Of it in the hope that the court may
prove merciful TO the extent Of not i'm
posing the death penalty. .
Assistant States Attorney Northup
said after the proceedings that there
had been no consultation between
Boneham and the states attorneys Of
nee in regard to his plea. He took the
action on his own initiative. He will
not be sentenced until tie cases OF the
other defendants are disposed Of. Mr..
Northup said that he had not even
made up his mind to call Boneham as
witness.
