RAILROAD MEN EN- DEMAND
INCREASE IN WAGES.
Road Officials Claim II Change |!
Made They will Demand Lower
Wages For Men.

Chicago, Nov. H. Wage scales,
affecting $50, 900 men employed on
the sixty seven trunk railroads west
of Chicago, were to be fixed when
representatives of the three big or
CARNATIONS of employees and the
Railroad Chairman's association
met here today in conference that
may be prolonged for many weeks.
Without exception the mer will de-
mand increased wages, shorter
working hours in many instances.
and improved working conditions.
The representatives of the roads
publicly announce that If the pres
ent wage scale is to be altered at
all, they will demand that wages
be lowered
The enginemeD and tiremen are
expected to come to q formal agree.
ment upon their demands within
few days, and then appoint sub.
committee to confer with sub-cOm-
mittees already appointed by the
other two organizations. While
the nature of the demand to be
made upon the railway chairman
bv these three sub. committees will
not be known until they have met
in conference, it is understood that
the men will demand an increase
of wages averaging from 5 to {
per cent, strict enforcement OF the
federal hours of service act. shorter
on many runs, and enforcement OF
the full crew law in those states
where such legislation has been
enacted.
The three organizations repre-
sented at the conference have
combined membership of about
10000, but the wage scale to be
evolves from the meeting will at.
feet not only these but at least 100,
900 more railway employees, accord
ing to union officials, who work AS
helpers.
Present contracts, made by the
organizations with the individual
roads, will begin expiring this
month and will have all expired
early next year. Employees of GER
tain of the roads are backing a
movement for consolidated con-
tracts" They want the Order of
Railway Conductors, for instance,
to sign one contract to which all
roads are parties, instead of signing
contract with each individual
road. This movement has the Op.
position not only of the railway
chairmen, but also of large share
of the men, and is not likely to
succeed.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER

"We repeat that advertising in the
country newspaper, properly utilized,
is the most valuable advertising in the
world for it's cost,' says the New
York Evening Journal. t'We urge ad-
vertisers to take advantage of the op-
portunities offered by the country
newspapers. We add incidentally, that
we don t own and never expect to
own any country newspaper or to have
any interest in country paper.
''The country publisher alone. is able
through his columns to sell everything.
His readers buy everything that is tor
sale-from nails to pianos, from pills
to automobiles. They buy paints and
roofing and stoves and lamps-hun-
,dreds of commodities that. the city
dweller never buys.
"There is not a community in the
United States in any one Of which ten
or even fifty great American merchants
or manufacturers would not gladly hire
at high pay competent, earnest rep
resentative able to talk to five hun
dred or more families.
"And every business like, hard
working county publisher is such an
agent, able every day to reach the con
sumers that nobody else can reach.

of all advertising mediums. -

GEORGE F. TAYLOR.

l In this issue of The Times We take i pleasure in presenting the name of one of the county's most popular citi- zens, MT. George P. Taylor, as can I didate for the office of Treasurer Of St. Francis county, subject 10 the ac- l tion of the democratic primary, called for the purpose of filling vacancies now existing in political offices
 throughout the State, on Saturday, June 2l,
 For d number of years past George | r Taylor has been looked upon by the democracy Of St. Francis county as a
 "likely youngster," and he has been
 marked. as it were, for some public position. Always heretofore he las consistently refused. although repeat ediy urged by his friends. to get into county politics. Up 10 this time he
 has been content tO remain an active worker in the ranks. and has gone on
 in his unpretentious way making friends and antagonizing nobody. au-
 til today he Is recognized as a young
 man Of the people. He is strong with the sovereign constituency which now claims him, and upon whose pledges Of support and loyal friendship he has been encouraged to ask for public office at the polls Like his father be- fore him, the masses look upon him as one of them, and he is neither con- ceited nor self-opiniated. He mixes with his fellow citizens, the common people, with an ease and freedom that wins and holds their friendship and esteem. In other words. George r. Taylor is Southern gentleman, to the manor born, and al the characteris- tics ard temperament of the leader, are strongly developed in him.
 There is no one to raise a question as to his qualifications to fill the office to which he is now aspiring. He wears no mans collar, and if elected will be the Treasurer Of St, Francis county. and will serve all the people fairly and impartially in the performance of lis official duties,
 George P. Taylor is too well known 10 need introduction or commenda- tion at our hands. He is already en- gagged ill making a vigorous canvass of the county, and will make an especial effort to see all the voters personally. His reputation for liberality, pig heartedness and uniform kindness and courtesy to all is well established, and mindful of these things, we leave his candidacy with you, confident that you will give his claims for preferment your unbiased consideration at the polls
