Junk Dealers Are
Held For MANY
TheftS Of Metal

Joseph Rudderman, 146 Jones ave-
nue. and John w. Ferris, 222 Grand
street, with yards on Stella street,
were arrested this morning in connec-
ton with extensive sthefts of brass and
copper from the Bridgeport Brass
Company. Bonds for their release
have been set at $1,000 each. They
are well known junk and metal deal
ers.
Detective Edward Cronan who made
the arrests has been working upon
the case for several days. 1t is al
legged that about $50 worth of scrap
brass and pig copper were recently
found in a shipment of metal made
to New York by Rudderman and that
when asked to state where the metal
in question came from he indicated it
had been sold to him by Ferris. This
Ferris denies and the matter will be
left to the decision of the City court
tomorrow.
At that time there will be about
thirty old cases to come up and court
attendants and others are preparing
to bring their lunches with them. The
trials scheduled range from assault
with intent to murder, through burg
larry and theft down to the common
assa ult. It is expected the session will
continue through the afternoon unless
many cases are recontinued.

Federation of Labor concluded it's
session yesterday afternoon. The next

probably on the Tuesday following

During the convention yesterday af-
ternoon a TRADE was delivered against
the Mcneil family, of Bridgeport, be-
cause of their refusal to recognize the
Typogra phical union in the Bridgeport
Telegram office. Sol Sohtheimer, of
Hartford, spoke on the subject, saying
that it was his wish that the dele
gates all go home with report of
resolutions condemning the family
for their action, stating that one Of
the family was an aspirant for the
office of governor of The state and
that if the family maintained their
stand the labor interests should cast
them into political Oblivion. The res
Olution was adopted.

SALOONS MUST
CLOSE OCT. 6
ELECTION DAY
Date Sci In October
For Advantage Of
Small Towns
Liquor Dealers Had Planned To
Seek Law To ObViate Such
A Condition

All saloons in Bridgeport must close
on October when the special cleo
ton to decide on the constitutional
amendments will be held. Several
prominent members of the Bridgeport
Liquor Dealers association when ap-
prised of the fact that there would be
a special election in October consulted
legal authority and today were advis-
ed days on which constituti o1la1
cred as election days and the law says
that saloons must close on those days.
Sometime ago the State Liquor
to have a. law framed so that elections
to have law framed 50 that elections
regular election day in November. No
further action was taken however, by
the representative of the association
who attended the sessions of the leg
islature in the interest of the liquor
dealers.
The date for the special election is
set in October because most of the
smaller towns have their annual town
meetings in that month. Some of the
cities in Connecticut have elections in
the spring so the date for the special
election was set for October The
principal amendment to be voted on
provides for an increase of the saIar-
les of legislators from $500 to $500
and to allow them carfare.
That they must close their places
of business all day October 6 will be
unwelcome news to a number OF
Bridgeport liquor dealers.

WATSON DENIES
LOBBYING FOR
MANUFACTURERS
But Ex-Congressman Admits
Working For National
Tariff Commis-
sion

Washington, Sept. 12-Former Rep
resentative James E. Watson, of In
diana, before the House. lobby com
mittee, today, made a general denial
Of Martin M. MuIhaIls general charge
that he was one of the active friends
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers in Congress during many
years.
AT no time while I was in Congress
after left Congress- said Watson,
was I in the employ of the National
Association of Manufacturers for any
purpose, nor was 1 at any time a
lobbyist or a lawyer for it"
Watson said he did work for the
tfon, an organization of several hun
dred associations and many individ-
uaIs, of which the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers was one. He
declared that MulhalI's charge that he
used his influence to put certain men
on House committees and remove 9TH
ers, was without foundation.
You don't need to tell the sun to
shine; you don't need to tell the birds
to sing any more than you needed
to tell Uncle Joe Cannon whom to
appoint on committees said he. "The
Cannon, Busby, his secretary, and
Hindes, the parliamentari and I
never obtruded my opinions"
Watson said he never was approach
6Q Dy any N NaLDOnaI ASSOCIATION OF
Manufacturers official to favor any
legislation and never was interested
particularly in any bills they favored
except an anti-injunction bill and the
proposed exemption of labor unions
from the operation of the Sherman
law. He said he held the same views
as the association on those measures.
Watson denied that Mu1haH helped
raise $22, 900 in his campaign for gov
ernor in 1908. His CWatson's) en-
ployment by the tariff association was
about April L, 1909, nearly a month
after he left Congress. He said he
was in charge of the campaign for a
tariff commission while the Payne bill
was in the House and later in the
Senate.
There was nothing secret or in
sidious about my employment said
he. ST was not in Congress and
| thought I had a right to that ap-
| pointment. I received $3.50 a week
| and my expenses and probably a, re-
tainer of $780,
WI hile was whip of the House for
six years. declared Watson, pound

| every member and I never knew a cor
| rupt man in the House,
When questioned about lectures fol

A tions, Watson diverted to take a shot
at Secretary Bryan.
HE is the John D. Rockefeller o1

son. HE has made more money out
of it than anybody else and he has
made more money because he has gone
about abusing other fellows for making

mittee points out that it wants the
right of appeal at any time from the
decision of a division superintendent
and mechanical superintendent. The
reply on this point says:
1.-The rights Of the engineers have
progressed too far to give almost un-
limited power to a division or me-
chanicaI superintendent
The New Haven road, through Mr..
Bardo, had sent to the engineers COM
mittee a letter containing a draft OIL
proposed changes in rules in accord
with the recommendations of the In
terstate Commerce Commission for
immediate establishment of safer and
more efficient operation and of the
Public Utilities Commission prescrib-
ing physical examinations and other
tests.
The present stage of negotiations
was preceded by five personal confer
ences for discussion Of the whole zsub-
ject, in which the f1remen were repre-
sented as we'll as the engineers.
The propositions which the New Ha-
ven company place before the engi-
neers, in brief, are these:
That in place of the seniority rule
COVER rning-runs a rule be accepted that
preference in runs shall be based on
seniority combined with fitness, abil-
ity and previous service. The assign
ment of engineers to passenger runs
is under the rule proposed by General
Manager Bardo on Feb. Is last, and
adopted as follows:
mo engineer who has less than one
years roster rating as engineer shall
be allowed to run through passenger
trains
In the matter of physical examination
the New Haven road proposes the tes
in use on the New York Central road
The physical and visual examinations
are to be patterned after those in use
on the latter road. Discipline and en-
forcement of rules likewise are to be
similar

New Haven, Sept. 12-At the re-
quest of General Manager G. L. Bardo,
of. the New York, New Haven & Hart
ford Railroad, at the close of the con
ferences with the committee of the
brotherhood of Engineers over pro-
posed changes in rules governing en-
gineers upon the system, the commit
tee has submitted reply in writing
Chairman S. E. Evans, of the en-
gineers committee, in his. reply to Mr..
Bardo's proposal to abolish the SEN
iority rule of advancement, says:
why does not the New Haven go
back to the conditions prior to the
fail of 1911 without attempting such
radical changes in relation to it's en-
gineers. Under the same rules of
operation, the New Haven, from 1901
to 1911, was as safe as any in the
country. The present seniority rule
was made in 1901. The personnel of
the engineers is virtually the same to-
day as Immediately prior to 1911. For
eight years or thereabout, the New
Haven was operated safely. 1t carried
more than 50O,OOO,OOO persons with
only one fatality.
I'm the fall of 1911 came a change.
Henry j. Horn, who succeeded Gen
era1 Manager Higgins, at once ordered
that engineers make time. Time must
be made the order read If an en-
gineer was a minute late he was jack
ed up. The first time his engine ran
by a signal the engineer was sum
marily dismissed. The ambition was
to make a record of trains on ti9ne
over any railroad in the country. The
orders put out in the fall of 1911 made
the New Haven travel unsafe and de-
moralized the esprit de corps"
AS to the proposed change from the
practical" to the scientific test OF
vision, Mr. Evans points to the rec
ord prior to 1911 of the engineers on
the road.
Objection is made to a change in
