ENGTNEMEN GIVE THEIR SIDE
Answer Railroad Managers in the
Present Wage Controversy.
WHY THEY NOW ASK MORE PAY
Produce More and Actually Get Lees
Than They Did Thirteen Years
Ago in the same
Service,

Railroad enginemen Of the western
district, who arc concerned in the wage
dispute now being mediated at Chi
cago, have prepared a statement to the
public, setting out their side of the con-
troversy. as an answer to a statement
made by the managers of tho western
roads few weeks ago, when the negoti-
ations between committees were broken
off. Since the cessation of direct nego-
tiations, the questions have been sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the
enginemen's brotherhoods, and the re.
suit was a vote OF % per cent in favor
Of a strike. Pending the calling OF a
strike. the matter has been submitted
to mediation, after the enginemen had
refused to accept arbitration.
Managers Propose New Plan,
The engtnemen ask for a general re-
adjustmentment of wages and working
conditions The managers insist that the
increase asked is much greater than the
roads can possibly afford to pay. In
reply to the request Of the men for an
opening of the wage schedule OF 1910
under which they were working, the
managers abrogated the entire agree
ment and proposed as a working basis
for q new wage agreement a state
ment of principles" the operation OF
which, the men insist. would amount
to general reduction of wages. the i'm
position OF onerous conditions of work
such as heightened hours, the destruc-
ton Of seniority districts. and other

HE'S GOT A COMPLAINT

Editor Day Book:-I have noticed
you usually champion a just cause
and the cause l have in mind is the
much-abused police of Chicago.
His honor the mayor is now trying
to take a good one out of the poor
cops. He has declared all dog catch
ers, matrons and clerks in as police,
which would entitle the above to the
police pension fund.
The police have contributed one
per cent of their pay for the upkeep
of this fund. The newly-made Carter
Harrison police never have and do not
intend to contribute. Yet the majority
are ready to retire as soon as they
are declared under the fund.
This kind of cheap graft will only
break the fund up and all the C.. II.
police and the really ones viii &c: is
what Armour leaves of the pig--the
squeal.
1t will be interesting to see what
the matrons, clerks, etc., will do with
the thousands they have and are will
ing to spend to gain their end.-A
Cop.

SUPREME COURT tied?
SAID TO BE UNABLE TO AGREE
IN THE LEO FRANK CASE.
itol the Judges Stand Three
Against Three.

NTA.-Althoug a decision
in the case of L. NJ Frank, sentenced
to be hanged for the murder of Mary
Phagan, has been expected from the
supreme court ever since it went into
consultation Monday the court has
not yet acted finally and it may be
that it will not do so for several
days. There are rumors that the
court is evenly divided on the case,
three and three; and should that
turn out to be true it would mean,
under the Georgia law, the confirma-
ton of the verdict and sentence OF
the lower court.
In the event the decision is not
unanimous there would quite natur-
ally be some delay in handing down
the decision, as the dissenting JUS
tees would desire opportunity to
write their opinions. Every other
murder case which was argued at
the same time with the Frank case
has been decided; and it is usually
treated the same as fast writs of err
ror; that is, that they are to be de-
cided as soon as possible after hear
ing. There is much interest in the
decision, and many inquiries have
reached the clerk of the court re-
garding it.

TOFIGHT HOG CHOLERA
HALF MILLION DOLLARS URGED
BY HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Similar Appropriation Has Been APP
proved by Senate. The Disease
Costs $7O,OOO,OOO Annually.

An emergency appropriation of
100000 to fight hog cholera and
100000 for dourine, horse dis
ease, during the coming summer was
pressed upon congress Thursday in
2eVSdi.. ?edkqcdgb5E -.e
a favorable report by Chairman Lee
yer of the house committee on agri-
culture. The committee calculated
the losses from these diseases annu-
ally in this country at 70,OOO,OOO.
The senate has passed a bill to
appropriate 100000 for hog chol-
era.
The report filed by Representative
Lever of South Carolina, chairman of
the house committee on agriculture,
says:
This is an emergency appropria-
ton withdrawn from the general
agricultural appropriation bill to en-
able the department TO perfect its or
ganization to meet the raVages OF
these diseases which begin in the
early summer.
"The country is losing annually
through the ravages OF these dis
eases at a conservative estimate
something like S70,000,000 and this
loss is distributed throughout the
whole country. An appropriation OF
$4,000 was made by congress last
year to meet this situation and al
though absolutely inadequate re-
markabIe results were secured by the
department in the four states in
which the experimental work was
done. 1t is believed that with an
adequate appropriation and with
strong cooperative organization be-
tween federal, state and local author
tiles. the disease may be reduced,
controlled and substantially erad1-
Gated"
The report sets forth the fact that
hog meat and hog products compose
the basis of the everyday meal OF
the average citizen and as hogs and
hog products are largely the sub
iects of interstate traffic it is incum-
bent upon the federal government to
take urgent steps toward the control
of this disease until the department
can build up a permanent co-opera--
tive organization with the several
states looking towards the final Grad
ication of the disease"
