The wage request is being heard in Washington affecting 13 rail- roads, many of them running into Bir- mingham. The mediators settledfhe three disputes announced here and the leaders in Birmingham have a feeling that the entire controversy will be settled like those here announced
 The railroads to bow to further in crease included the Norfolk and Western, the Chesapeake and Ohio, and the vir- ginian railroad. They agreed to increase passenger conductors from s2.75 per 1GO miles to s2so per 100 miles.

.COMER TALKS ON
 TRIP ID CANADA Has Nothing to Say About
 Politics Now WASHINGTON'S WILL Stopped in Virginia to Get Copy of Famous Document = Informal Conference With Sena-
 tor Johnston

Wearing a typical southern plantation hat, uncrushed, former Gov B. B, Conner returned home yesterday. He left here soon after his we'll remembered letter to Col. T. Roosevelt regarding the appoint ever since.
 While absent Governor Conner has toured in Canada and New York state. He has dined with Vice Chairman Me Adoo in New York. looked over a seat in the national Senate and called at the Fairfax courthouse in Virginia to ascer- tain if it were true that one c. Wash ington willed his liquors and his dis tllery to his beloved wife. Martha. He found that the liquor information was correct.
 Governor Conner yesterday held an im- promptu levee at the Brown-Marx cor ner and later held an informal talk with United States Senator Joseph Forney Johnston in the lobby of the First Ma tional bank The weather. Wilson and the crops were the chief topics of con versation between those distinguished cit izens, although one might have reason ably supposed that weighty matters were under consideration. Governor Conner and Senator Johnston laughed with apparent glee over several observations made by each other.
 Nothing on Politics
 q have nothing to say at this time in reference to politics. laughed the for mer governor when an interviewer cor nered him at the financial institution. 'I am just back from Canada and I had a fine trip. Yes, it was delightful. We went from Detroit to Goodrich on Lake Huron, then to Port Dover, Can. We went across to Hamilton, ontario, and later toured down the Niagara river to the falls. where we crossed. From there we went to New York city by way of Albany and several other important cities. Then we went to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and Richmond. We went from Richmond to Fairfax Courthouse, where the will of George Washington may be looked over l secured a copy.
 "In New York I lunched with William G: McAdoo. vice chairman of the dem ocratic campaign committee. and I feel
  of MT Wilson capaby. The work that has been done certainly has shown polit- ical wisdom unequalled and l feel cer- tain that MT. Wilson will be elected from the present indications. I saw Bibh Graves and John D. McNeel In New York and they are working hard for the dem ocratic ticket. Everywhere I went, and my trip included many prominent states I found Governor Wilson exceedingly strong. Everyone Is talking Wilson and no one talking Taft. Roosevelt is much stronger than Taft ever was in my judg- ment''
 In Washington Governor Conner called to look over the Senate In view of his speculative candidacy for the Senate. jokesmiths would say that he picked out his seat in the National House. He said in reference thereto; "The view of the places of interest from the Senate pleases me very much It is very fine

ment is as follows:

sands Of my constituents. Matters Of
vital interest to Louisiana are pend

If, therefore, am to make any
headWay with my work. I find myself
compelled to define my attitude at
once. l should very much prefer to
adhere to my original idea to look
into the situation personally before
making this statement, but my con
stituents are entitled to reply to
their solicitations. Many of the peti-
tions I am receiving read as follows.
Not as personal or political
friends Of yours, but as your con-
stltuents in the third congressional
district, who are vitally interested
in the welfare of the industries of
The said district, and who feel be-
yond possible doubt that you can
best serve their interests In con
sress, We hereby petition you to put
aside any possible feeling of person
Il interest You might have to the
contrary and allow US to elect you
20 another term in congress before
you take your seat In the United
States senate.
ssAs against these numerous petit
ions, letters and kilograms. l have
probably a dozen letters from friends
n the third district, advising against
ny becoming a candidate, and a score
of letters from good friends outside
# the district, equally divided as to |
he course T should pursue.
e can only say that l had hoped |
could have rested these two years;
ut there has developed here a situa-
