A. w. Trenholm. general manager of
the Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis Il
Omaha railroad, on the demands OF
western locomotive engineers and fire
men, which are being arbitrated here,
continued from the witness stand to-
day.
The demand that hostlers the name
applied to men who handle locOmo-
tives around the rOundhOuses and I'm
general when the engineer and fire
man are absent, be recruited from
firemen and engineers. was character
lied by the witness AS an unwarranted
attempt to interfere with the legiti-
ager.
The demand that crews "deadhead-
ing; that is, manning an engine be-
ing hauled by another engine or being
taken as passengers to some point
where they are to man train, be paid
the same as the crew hauling them,
also came under censure from the
witness.
He thought that crews held away
from home terminals where hotel ex-
penses add to their normal disburse-
ments should be compensated, but he
considered that the demands OF the
men were too drastic.
The witness gave a number OF in
stances in which, with the proposed
rules and rates applied. engineers
would earn as high as s34 a day and

suggested that the arbitrators in max
ing their award. should be careful 20

100 EXPECTED ID
 BE IN THE RACEFOR BOARD 0F, REVENUE
Some of Best Known Men in the County Are Groom ing Themselves for
 $360O Jobs

That there will be no less than 100 candidates for membership on the board of revenue next year Is taken for granted in political circles.
 Already about 25 have informally de- clared themselves to be candidates. The jobs are considered among the best in the gift of the people. Each pays $36oo, the member is without responsibility In that the treasurer is responsible for all moneys paid out and the member has no one to mark his comings and goings.
 Several of the best known politicians of the county are counted among the probable candidates, among them be- ing Dr. R. r. Lovelady, B. A. Thomp- son. George Tarrant and Frank A. Hewett These men with the other members of the board John R. Rosen- stihl w A. Gibson and John Taylor are considered the ablest applicants for the five positions who have been up to the present time mentioned
 Until last February the salary of a board member was $2000 per annum. In February, however, the legislature increased that sum to $3600. As a re- suit the unusual list of candidates numbering about 75 will be increased, 1t Is generally admitted, to 100. The race will be interesting.

COUNTY RAILROAD LATEST PROPOSAL Commissioner Rhodes Sug- gests Joint Action by Jef-

A combination between the counties of Jefferson and Tuscaloosa for the con- struction of public utility railroad from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa is in contemplation.
 During the week just gone Robert Rhodes city commissioner of Tusca- loosa, discussed this matter with James Weatherly, city commissioner of Birmingham. The latter agreed with
 the former that from certain view points the proposition was practicable and feasible.
 During the ensuing week this propo- sition will be considered by Birming- ham interests along with the model highway and other plans. Commission CT Rhodes contends that should the two counties by bond issues secure money with which to build a railroad to bs operated exclusively for the interest o1 | the people, the two counties, the cities of the counties and all the people would be greatly benefited throughou an indefinite period of time. | Such railroad would cost. 1t Is es timated. upward of $1.OOO.000.
