LAST WITNESSES
Called Before of Arbitration to Settle
Railroad Differences.


Railroad Differences.
New York. April 5.-The last wit
nesses were called today before the ar
bitration board that will settle, under
the Erdman act. the demands of the
$4,000 firemen of fifty-four eastern
railroads for better pay and working
conditions. w. S. Carter, head of the
firemen's brotherhood. began summing
up this afternoon. Elisha Lee. chair
man of the conference committee of
managers. who will argue for the rail-
roads. will conclude his summing up
tomorrow night. Both sides will have
three days in which to submit briefs.
to begin its deliberations next We'd
nesday. Two weeks later. on April
%, the board must render it's decision.
A resume of arbitration. as affecting
past disputes between labor and rail-
roads. was given by Mr.. Carter. who
declared the Erdman act should be
amended so as to eliminate strikes in
wage controversies.
The firemen's wages should be based
on the relative weight on driving
wheels OF different types Of locomo-
tives. Mr.. Carter urged. Uniformity
of wages. he declared, would make
for "clean cut healthy rivalry" among
roads instead Of "cut.throat competi-
tion."
MIR. Carter took up the plea Of the
financial inability of some of the roads
to meet the demands. Some OF the
western roads which are poorer than
the eastern roads making this plea. he
said. "are paying much better wages
than are the eastern roads,"

COMMITTEE FIGHT
Laid back for Brucggcr Last Year
Attorney NJ. A. Hildretl's Claim =
Position as District Attorney Has
Merit Because of its Age, Say Some.

william Collins Of Bottineau, form
er national committeeman, is a likely
candidate for the position of United
states marshal in North Dakota, not
withstanding the fact that S. J. Doyle
OF Darlington has been regarded by
many as practically certain Of picking
that rather important plum. now
There are several reasons why Mr.,
Collins claim to the position looks
strong as against the claims of Mr..
Doyle and +. o. Hellstrom, both OF
Whom are opposing candidates for the
position.
Back in the time when the demo.
Gratis OF the state We're casting about
committeeman. Mr.. Collins was can.
didate to succeed himself. The field
became larger, and the race looked
like an uncertain element, with can
didates scattered in all sections Of the
state. the number including Geo. Duis
Ct Grand Forks, B. G. Whitehead OF
bismarck. r. Mclean of Fargo, +. a
Wilson of Bathgate and one or two
others.
Laid Back for Brllcggcr.
Then something happened. John
liston. He was the lone candidate fol-
the far western section of the state
Later when matters begin to snapt
themselves. Collins withdrew from the
race. asking that his supporters take
up the fight for Mr.. Bruegger. And
also there was the state chairman, d
II. Macarthur, who was making the
fight for Bruegger.
With Bruegger's election as com.
mitteeman it Is only natural that Col.
Inns should come in for serious con.
stderation in the matter of federal
appointments II he wants a job, ano
he wants One-that of United Stave.
maFshai-and 1t Is more than likely
say some. that he will get it.
Rruegger. Macarthur and ex-Gover.
nor Burke are working in harmony
and with Brueggcr and Macarthur in.
debted to Collins, the Bottineau mar
has u powerful leverage.

Of Tracy Bangs of Grand Forks to
that position. Mr.. Hildreth was an ac-
tive candidate. and he has been can.

generally seem to feel that he will get
the place. Opposing him are Geo. +.

the laws and constitutional amend

tack.
