This assumption" the governor
said, lis wholly inadmissible." His
letter continues:
Engineers Subject to Public Control.
'"The railroads OF the country are
engaged in a public calling and are
therefore subject to public regulation
The same is true of the employees Of
the railroads and your organization
has no more right to resent regula-
ton by the state or nation than have
the railroads to resent control by the
same authorities.
when you reorganization adopts a
course of action which would diSOr-
gani2e the business of our citizens,
throw labor out Of employment and in
terfere with the supply of food and
fuel, it is subject to public control
just as much as the railroad would be
if in similar manner, it refused to op-
crate its trains or otherwise perform
it's duties as a public carrier.
Strike Vote is Premature.
Public regulation in the one case
is as justified as it in the other and
neither the railroads nor their en-
ployes have any right to object to
such regulation as as an Interference
with their freedom.
when capital is invested in the
business of transportation, it thereby
places itself in a public calling in
which it is rightfully subject to pub
lie regulation, and the same is true of
la Dor
The failure of your organization to
realize that its members are engaged
in a public calling is further evidenced
by the fact that it has seen fit TO take
a vote upon the strike before the COM
pletion of negotiations with the COM

members of the organization or the

BELIEVE SCHMIDT is
EXAMINING INSANITY.
No Allowance for AIienists-KoeIbIe
y to Defend Him.

New York, Oct. Schmidt, the
discredited rriest who is awaiting trial
for the murder of Anna Aumuner, de-
MED yesterday that he was dissatisfied
with his counsel, AlphOnse G. kOelble,
and would engage another He has
no money and must take the counsel
assigned him by the court. All the
money he had in the world he hurled
at a spectator in Coroner F'einberg' s
court on Friday.
Mr.. Koelble said that the $500 fee
awarded by the state in al capital
cases would not cover the expenses
incidental - a defense Of Schmidt as
an insane person.
1t is considered doubtful if the eH-
penses of Schmidt and possibly import
ed witnesses would be allowed, espe-
cialiy in view of the opinion of all
concerned with Schmidts prosecution
that he is shamming insanity.
Mr.. KOelble was angry with Coroner
Feinberg for insisting on the presence

New Haven R. R.
Has Big Deficit
EXPENDITURES FOR THE YEAR
EXCEED REVENUES
HAD UNUSUAL EXPENSES
Wrecks, Increases of Wages and Nu-
merous Investigations Figure in In
creased Operating Cost.

New York, Oct 5.-The New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad dur
ing the year ending June so, 1913, spent
$4,127,632 more than it earned. The
annual report made public today by
HeWard Elliott, the new president of
the system, explains this deficit in the
years account and tells what has been
done and what is III prospect to meet
the adverse criticism of which the rail-
road lately has been the target.
Record Earnings First of Year.
President Elliott signs the report,
although he did not succeed Charles
s Mellen as head of the road until
September 1, He says that while the
earnings for the first few months of
the fiscal year We're the greatest in
the history of the company for a sim
liar period the net results of the year
compared with 1912 show d large de-
crease due to heavier operating ex-
penses, which reflect principally the
expenditures made by the company to
put the property and equipment in
better condition to handle business
safely and promptly and to pay in
creased wages
In further explanation Of these fig
ures President Elliott goes on to say:
Accidents a Factor of Expense.

stamford, Conn. on July u, 1913, and

which affects the welfare of every
man, woman and child in New Eng
land, shall not be determined by a
private organization in advance Of a
full determination Of the facts.
Strike Vote is intimidation.
Taking a vote upon the strike In
advance of the. conclusion Of negotia-
tions seems to indicate a desire to
force a settlement by Intimidation,
rather than by free and open discus
sion of the merits of the case
Your letter further assumes that
public regulation of the conditions Iin-
der which the members of your or
ganization are employed, would sub
ject them to the control of the rail-
roads and involve disregard of their
rights.
such an assumption is quite as un-
warranted as would be the similar as
sumption that public control of the
capital invested in the transportation
industry involves disregard of the
rights of capital Both labor and cap
ital have rights which must be
respected in any plan Of government
regulation.
VIII Alternate Sympathy of Public.
'1n reference to this point I call al
tention to the fact that my proposal
is to provide adequate remedies,
through an impartial tribunal for all
grievances of railroad employees, at
the same time that the commonwealth
undertakes to prohibit strikes. BY
such legislation the interests of the
employees VIII be carefully guarded at
the same time that means are pro-
Vided to ensure due consideration of
the rights of the public.
Your letter makes clear the rule
of seniority is the real issue between
your organization and the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad. 1t
does not, however, present any new
arguments in favor of the rule and
will not change the attitude of any
fair minded man. Upon that point I
can only repeat that a strike under
taken upon the issue will ALLEVIATE the
sympathy Of the public and compel
this commonwealth to adopt suitable
! measures for the protection of ita
citizens"
