TRAINMEN EAGER FOR
EIGHT HOUR BATTLE
Grand Lodge Members in Bos.
ton Vote Unanimously to
Begin Movement.

BosroN, Nov. Inquiries among the
union men tonight concerning the
trywide movement for an eight hour day
and double pay for overtime for all
railroad men brought the response that
the matter had not gone far enough set
to have plans formulated for the cam
paign. II was said that about $50. 900
men are members Of the Big Five" rail-
road brotherhoods and that unquestion-
ably the railroads here In Boston would
be tho FIRST to have the demands pre-
scented to them Just when II will be
done Is a matter to be decided later. Il
~ras announced
II was evident that tho idea Of do
handing a universal eight hour day for
all men connected with the moving Of
trains In this Country Is not altogether
n new one and hat the chief officers Of
the br~otherhoods lay been quietly dis
GUESSING II for some time. This was
brought up to-day In a meeting called
for another purpose. after a talk by one
Of the grand lodge officers. He sud
denly asked for mr. expression OF sensi-
ment on an eight hour demand and the
members voted unanimously to start the
movement.
Men operating trains now work on a
ten hour a day schedule. but, according
TO speakers at the meeting. a majority
OF them are obliged TO work from twelve
to sixteen hours. and as IA result of long
hauls'' 1t Is said that many do not aver-
ager thirty hours a week at home.

$4,000 WATERS WAIT
ON ORDER TO STRIKE
Organizer Announces He Will
Have Cooperation of Al
lied Trades.

A general strike involving the $4,000
New York city is being planned, ac-
cording to IA stat"ment issued yesterday
by the Hotel and Restaurant Employees
International Alliance and the Bartend-
ers International League. The leaders
propose TO profit by the experience In
the unsuccessful attempt to tie up the
hotels and restaurants In a general strike
two years ago. The plan is TO enlist tho
cooperation of the musicians. cooks and
bartsnders In order to make the strike
effective.
Max Pitkewski. who says he has re-
Gently been active in behalf of the
walters IN Cleveland. Ohio. has been
chosen to manage the general strike
here.
There is general dissatisfaction
among the walters all over the city and
they are preparing for a general strike
order" he said yesterday. Their chief
grievance is that they are compelled to
work seven days a week. The demands
OF "a general strike will be for a six day
week. higher wages and a ten hour
day"
The failure OF the first strike Ia at
tributed 10 the lack of organization. To
assure the success OF the contemplated
action weekly conferences have been held
every Thursday for some time at the
headquarters OF the Musical Mutual Pro-
tect!ve Union for the purpose OF enlist
ing the support OF the allied trade be-
fore going into the strike.
The plan OF campaign is to divide the
city into districts. calling out one at a
time until the entire city Is affected The
first move will be to call out $1,000
walters employed in hotels and restsu-
rants below Fourteenth street. according
TO P~itkewski. The general strike will
have the direct assistance Of the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor. the Central
Federated Unlon and the United Hebrew
Trades. il lis said.

Little had told him was not to be found

WHY MIR. PERKINS OPPOSES.

You question my motives in opposing this Constitution. and
say that | have spent a great deal of money in publishing my
reasons. Several other members of your Committee have also
publicly referred to the money am spending. Let me tell you
why | have taken the course have.
After the Constitution was printed l read it over and found
it was impossible for a layman to form an intelligent opinion
regarding it. ] then engaged two lawyers; one a man who had
been a Republican State Senator, with leanings in favor of the
Constitution; the other an ex-Democrat, recently a member of
the State Legislature, and opposed to the Constitution.
These men, independently of each other, spent several day.
making a careful analysis of the document for me. Then took
their conclusions, and, after studying the Constitution myself.
became convinced that the Constitution should not be adopted
and sent you my letter of October q.
Indeed, was so convinced of this that it seemed to me thc
public generally should know the result of my Investigations. a.
every one knows, l give more or less money to various public
causes each year, and concluded that l could not perform i
better public service at this time than to spend the money
might have given to other causes in informing the voters of this
State in regard to the Constitution.
AS your reply to my letter of last Thursday was not made
public nor received by me until this morning | find myself with
but two hours in which to prepare a reply that can be made pui.
lie through the press before Election Day, which is to-morro,i,
There are many other points that might well be made, but lvk
OF time prevents. Very truly yours,

81 should like, sir, to see every amendment which had
been adopted by this convention put before the people SO that
they could express their wishes in regard to that upon its
merits, by itself. But under the existing provision of law, sir,
that would require thirty.three separate propositions and that
means sixty-six separate ballots" In another part of the de.
bate you said: 81 have been trying my very best, Mr.. Presi.
dent, to find some way under the law by which we can submit
these matters as they were submitted in 1874 upon a blanket
ballot, 50 that all these propositions can be enumerated and
the voters can indicate which they prefer; but the clear pro-
visions of the Ballot Act of 1892 and the conditions imposed
upon this Convention by the Act Of 1893 are expressly and
clearly opposed to any such action"
All this clearly shows that as a delegate to the Constitu-
tional Convention of 1894 you believed, as l do now, that the
people should have an opportunity to pass on every phase of
their Constitution.
call your attention to the fact that this years Conven-
ton, over which you presided and in which you had such a
dominating influence, was at perfect liberty to submit the
Constitution in whole or section by section, as it saw fit, be-
cause we have now the very sort of a blanket ballot which in
1894 you regretted we did not then have.

Elihu Roo

and Legislators is not a matter Of opinion between you and me;
it is a matter of plain record. The debates in the 1921 Constitu.
tional Convention, as recited by me in my letter to you of last
week, showed conclusively that the reason why the people took
this power away from the governor was because it had been
rankly abused.
In view of your repeated statements in the convention that
the one thing we should aim to strike at is invisible govern
ment' it seems to me decidedly inconsistent, to say the least,
for you to advocate now that we restore to the governor this
particular kind of power, which means that an illintentioned
governor can deal in private and on the side with any legislator
he desires. On the other hand, a wellintentioned governor would
be at the mercy of ambitious, INSCRIPTIONS legislators and out
side party bosses, who could hold his legislative measures up
while they bargained for Offices.

You say you do not feel that the restoration to the Gov

executive Offices within his gift opens the way to dicker and
trade. You know, of course, that it is proposed that legis-
lators be permitted to accept such offices and at the same time
continue to serve in the Legislature.

ABOLISHTNC THE MARKET DEPARTMENT.

AS to a Market department, on this subject / am not guess
ing or thinking as to what the proposed Constitution does.
During the past year, as chairman of Mayor Mitchel's food sup
ply committee, l have given a great deal of time to this whole
question. Your letter admits that the present Market depart
ment has been destroyed and that under the Constitution the
Legislature cannot create a new one, but you say that this could
be very properly and efficiently taken care of under the Depart
ment of Agriculture. This, of course, admits that in any event
it must be a subordinate bureau.
My strong objection to this is not only because I believe
it would be inefficient. but because it is precisely the plan that
ter when was working for an independent market depart.
ment in this city.
These men offered me this very proposition. and when | re.
fused it and tried to get a bill through at Albany they hired a
special train and went to Albany several hundred strong and
fought it and beat it.
To my amazement l now find that somehow, through some
influence q do not pretend to know howl they are accomplish
ing their purpose, not through a legislative act but through Con-
.stitutional enactment.
AS to the State Department of Agriculture being the proper
department for u market bureau to be under, may ask if you
have ever seen anything resembling a Market Department under
the Department of Agriculture at Washington? Every one
knows that a Department of Agriculture has to do with tiling
the soil and raising crops.
There is no difficulty about the size of our crops in this
country or in this state. The difficulty lies in getting them
marketed in a manner that will at once be properly remu-
nerative to the farmer and not extortionate to the consumer.
The proposed Constitution is very careful to perpetuate
by Constitutional provision the present Public Service Com
mission; to look after the publcs transportation problems;
yet not more than 1000 of the average mans income goes for
transportation expenses, while 400 of his income goes for
food. There is nothing more sinister in this whole Constitu.
ton, nothing more detrimental to the practical, everyday
welfare of our people than the abolition of an independent
Market Department and the prohibition of a new one.
