AN EXTRA SESSION.

-
convene the General Assembly In
extraordinary session for the pur-
pose of dealing with the question
of freight rate discrimination. The
latest appealed consequence comes
from the "Just Freight Rates As
sociation," which met in Raleigh
on last Tuesday and voted unan-
imously for a resolution requesting
the Governor to call a special ses-
sion of the Legislature as soon as
In. his judgment it is wise to do so,
for the purpose of receiving and
considering a report from the.
Freight Rate Commission created
by regular session last winter. The
resolutions direct attention to the
failure of the carriers to keep their
pledges with Governor Craig and
the Commission outlined, at the
meeting on February 26, to correct
the present excessive and discrim-
inatory freight rates, promises the
support CT the organization to the
Governor, Legislature and Corpor-
alton Commission, and asks for a
speedy adjustment of the matters
IL controversy. Governor Craig
addressed the meeting in person
and expressed himself as being in
hearty accord with the purposes of
the Organization. He pledged the
exercise of his best efforts to reach
a satisfactory solution of the issues
involved, but did not indicate a
Idate for converting a c~all-session of
the General Assembly.
1t is devoutly hoped that the
necessity for calling an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature, for the pur
pose contemplated, may yet be
averted. However, the people of
the State are very much in earnest
in their efforts to end existing
freight rate determinations
against North Carolina and what
ever action the Governor may
take will be sustained by them.
The meeting in Raleigh on Thurs
was significant. It was compos-
ed of 361 representative business
men from forty-eight progressive
cities and towns that feel the
need of a square deal in the mat
ter of transportation facilities.
The carriers may as well realize
that the administration is in earn
est about having this matter adj
justed. A friendly solution is
preferable and the way is open to
the transportation companies for
a peaceable settlement. They
have admitted that the North Car
olina shippers have cause for COM
plant. Why they show so little
concern about meeting the situa-
ton is a bit surprising. If the
carriers continue to stand pat the
people must take steps to protect
themselves and they will find a
way.
The railroads ought to show
more interest in finding a solu-
ton to the issues involved, with
out any further ado about it. 1t is
within their province to remove
any cause for retaliatory meas
ures, or continued agitation, and
they should see the wisdom of tax
ing that course. They cannot
hope to profit by a long, bitter
fight for a cause which cannot
consistently be defended. Admit
ting that the evils pointed out by
the North Carolina shippers ex-
ist, to app extent, it is passing
strange the carriers obstinately re
fuse to correct them. They may as
well realize, once for all that Gov
ernor Craig wants peace, but not
F'ignominimous peace!"

CONFUSION IN FIRE DEPARTMENT OVER
 MIX UP ALARM

Slight injury to a horse attached to Engine 3, much confusion in finding the real blaze and general loss of tenn per throughout the fire department last night, resulted from the sending of an alarm from the Hawthorne Mfg Co.'S plant at Spruce street and How ard avenue over the A. D. T. watch man system.
 Some clothing over g. boiler ignited and the watchman sent in the alarm to the Western Union office From there 1t was sent out upon the bells, but the apparatus being out of order, three distinct alarms were recorded, first striking 125. then 2135 and the last 235. During the search for the fire a horse on Engine fell upon the slippery pavement and was temporar- fly taken out of harness.

CARPENTERS HOPE
 TO AVOID STRIKE
Expect Bosses Will Grant Raise
 by the First of May

Although we haven't decided defin- itely yet that we will go on strike if our demands for higher wages are not granted by the first of May, that is the action that will probably be taken in the event of the bosses refusing to give us the desired advance in wages This was the statement made today by a well known member of the local Carpenters Union to a Farmer re- porter
 We hope and expect, however he continued that the men who hire us will see the justice in our demands for raise in pay and will not make it necessary for us ito go on strike to get what we want
 Three months ago the carpenters quietly notified their employers that they would demand an increase in wages to $4 a day, the increase to take effect May 1. The carpenters claim that the cost of living has in creased to such an extent within the past couple of years that it is impos- sible for them to get along on the $3.5O a, day now being paid experienced craftsmen in this line of work.
 The carpenters claim that it is no more than simple justice that they should be granted the increase. They say that union carpenters in New Ha- ven get $3.6O a day. in Hartford, Greenwich and Stamford, $4 a day, and in fact all over the State get bet ter pay than they do here in Bridge port.
 There are between 75O and 800 car penters in the building industry in this city, and more than 500 of these car penters belong to the local union. If they went on strike at this time of the year, just as building operations are at their height, it would mean that contractors and builders would lose thousands of dollars thereby9
 The contra ctors and builders evil dentIy realize how a strike would crip- ple them at this time of the year and so, it is understood, will grant the in crease in wages.

FIREMEN WIN IN FIGHT FOR WAGE INCREASE Erdman Boards Decision Grants Raise of 12 Per Cent to Eastern Railroad Elm
 plOyeS
  This Action of the ArbitratOrS Means an Added Annual Ex- pense of. $121 ,OOO for
 the New Haven Road

New York, April A-The award of the arbitration board appointed under the Erdman act, to hear the demands of the firemen on the Eastern rail- roads, was made public last evening. It is considered a victory for the en- p1oyes, who will get wage advances aggregating between $3, 800 900 and $4,- 000, GOO a year.
 The firenen do not get their demand for an extra man on engines weighing 100000 pounds and over, and the re- quest that the award be made retro active was not conceded.
 The wage advances average from 10 to F per cent. on present wages. The increase granted in the arbitration of the engineers demands on the same roads was only about per cent
 On the other hand, the award in the case of the engineers was made retro active from November to May of last year.
 In the case of the firemen, the award goes into effect in ten days from the filing of the award in the United States court yesterday.
 The firemen also won their conten- tion that the rates of wages should be based on weight of locomotives on drivers. This was opposed by the rail roads as an inequita,ble method of es- tirnating the wages and value of the services Of firemen.

COSTS MELLEN s1a1, 900.

New Haven, April 24-The last of ficial reports indicate that the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road Go. is employing at present about 1900 firenen at an annual cost of about g, 100, 600. An average increase of eleven per cent. awarded by the arbitrators would indicate therefore an increased expense to the company of about $121, GOO a year. The average daily compensation of the companys g firemen has been about $2.50 a day, in cIuding extra work. Passenger train firemen are paid regularly $2.45 a day for runs of one hundred miles or less, ten hours or less constituting a days work. Firenen on freights, work and mixed trains on heavy engines receive now $2.S0 day, for runs of 100 miles or less, with ten hours or less as a days work. On lighter engines the pay is $2.6O a day, under the same con- ditions of work. Bremen in yard Ser vice receive g a day of eight hours and $240 a day of ten hours.
 There are various increases for over time in the case of all classes of fire men.
 Three years ago the New Haven Company advanced the wages of its operating department to the amount Of about $1, ,500. 600.

SILVER JUBILEE
 OF SISTER CECILIA
Solemn High Mass Celebrated at St. Mary's Church In Honor
 of Beloved Nun

With Sisters of Mercy from St. Charles, the Sacred Heart, St. Angus tines, and St, Mary's convents in at tendance, Sister Mary Cecilia's silver jubilee was observed at St. Mary's church today, with solemn high ma ss in the morning and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament this afternoon.
 The observance of Sister Mary Cecil Has jubilee began at 6:30 o'clock this morning when low mass was said in the chapel of St. Mary's convent by Father T. Mulcahy At o'clock the Father J. F. Murphy, the celebrant, being assisted by Father MuIcahy and Father Seiferman. Miss Margaret Hogan of New Haven sang at this miss. Besides the many nuns in at tendance at the high mass at o'clock the church was crowded with mem bers of St. Mary's parish among whom Sister Cecilia is much beloved.
 The silver jubilee celebration today marked the close of twenty-five years spent in the service of the Church, years in which Sister Mary Cecilia has accomplished untold good. helping the sick and needy and instructing the little ones in the convent school.
 Sister Cecilia comes from Boston, Mass, and entered the sisterhood in Middletown, Conn, July ?, 1885, twen- ty-seven years ago, taking her final NOWS anu 11Idh1I1S Ter pIO10SSIOI dS d nun two years later. At the same time that she entered the sisterhood, two other sisters entered, Sister Mary Patricia of Boston, and Sister Mary Alexis of Cromwell. These two sisters are also celebrating their silver jubi- lee today in Middletown, Conn.
 Since Sister Cecilia has been a nun she has labored in Middletown, Green wich, Portland, where she was Moth CT Superior, and Bridgeport, most of the time in Bridgeport however. There are few Catholics in jthe city who do not know her and she is loved and re- spected by all her acquaintances.
 She has long been a teacher in St. Mary's Convent school, having taught in the old school well in the new one. Many we'll known Catholic bus mess men of this city received their early training from Sister Cecilia in the old St. Mary's school, and she still carries on her good work, with every promise that she will continue to do so for many years to come.
