Efforts Being Made to Reduce Wor,-'
ing TnE. at Locomotive Works
TO give More Men Work.

An effort Is being made by out
side machinists to place the MAJ
chinists at the Locomotives Works on
an eight-hour basis. Cards with that
announcement are being distributed
among the men employed at the
works, with the end in view OF Great
ing demand for the eigh. hour day.
The men are now Being paid by the
hour They can work as long or a.
short as they choose.
The idea of the union, or eight hour
advocates, it is said. is to prevent
men working more than eight hours
a day. thus giving other men the OPP
portunity of securing employment.
Cards, which are beirg distributed
among the men. present something
of a spectacular appearance. They
bear on the face a large figure eignt
printed in blue. with this Inscriptions:
'MACHINISTS
FOR EIGHT HOURS.
THAT'S ALL.
LAir: The Old Gray Bonnet.)
Put this In your bonnet
with the eight hours on it,
And don't mind what the bosses say.
And when the fight ia over,
Well all be in clover.
For we'll work eight hours day"
No official action has yet been taken
by the machinists at the works. II
is not expected there will be action.
az 1t Is understood the naehinists At
the Locomotive Works are perfectly
satisfied with the condition Of az
fairs at that place.

"NAGc|NG QUESTION:
Ample Opportunity to Resign, As
People Demand.
SEVEN wEEKs-NoTHING DONE
Weil-known Attorney and Chairman
OF Committee Named BY Protest
Mass Meeting Gives Out Interview
On We'll Situation.

Chairman Murray NJ. MCGUIRE, of
the citizens committee named by the
big protest mass meeting to further
The cause Of a reformation OF the po-
hce board, gave out the following
statement yesterday when his atten-
ton was called to Police Commits
sicner Wells statement that he was
being "nagged at" Mr.. Mcclure said.
In the police investigation last
spring the testimony showed that
Police Commissioner Well had for
several years been frequentins houses
of ill-fame, both inside the Red
Light District and outside that dis
trict, which Mr.. Well did not deny
as to the character of vehicle in
which he traveled) The committee
recommended that he be asked to re-
sign. The Council decided. however.
to merely administer a reprimand, a
resolution to this effect being adopted
by the Aldermen on August 8 and
concurred In by the Council on August
10.
Nothing was dore by the public In
regard to this matter until the action
of Commissioners Well and Goode on
September 80, in voting in the krengel
and Shoemaker c a ses thoroughly
aroused the community In all this
period OF nearly seven weeks Mr..
We'll exhibited no intention to carry
out what he now states to be his
desire to resign" mass meeting
was held October T. and resolutions
were adopted showing the temper of
the people OF Richmond. But again
no action was taken by the citizens
for several weeks. and 1t was not until
the regular meeting OF the Common
Council, November 1. that the COM
mittee appointed to carry out the
wishes OF that mass meeting forward
ed any communication to the city
officials
I'm view Of this statement Of facts
1t can hardly be Justly charged that
there has been "nagg!ng" at Commits
sioner Well. He had ample opportu-
nifty to resign before September so.
when he again called the attention Of
the community to tho propriety of
his retiring from ONCE He has not
been without opportunity since that
date.
when thu public say nothing tn
this matter, they are treated as
though they had condoned the Of
fence, and their wishes are disregafd-
ed. When they speak out they are
accused Of 'nagging at the offender.
But. after all, the question now 10
not whether there have ben repeated
for Commissioner Wells
but whether the citizens
of Richmond wish a man with Mr..
Wells record, as shown in the investi-
CATION. to remain "a member OF the
Police Board, whose duty 1t is to sup
press the very houses that he ad-
mits having patronized continually
during his term of office. The issue
IL a plain one, and the people OF the
city have the opportunity to make
themselves heard in this matter.
They certainly have the right to ask
their representatives in the Council
to carry out their wishes. and they
should do So"

Marshall and w. V. U.
To Play 4 Ball Games

HUNTINGTON. w. Va, Jan. IL
Dope given out by Boyd B. Chambers,
athletic director of Marshall College,
today says that West Virginia Unit
versity has signed with Marshall Col
lege for series of baseball games
for the week of May 10th. Two games
are to be played at each school. Last
year, only two games were played be-
tween the two teams, both Of which
came off at Morgantown. Marshall
was beaten in both games. This year
however, number of first class base.
ball men have come in from the DIFF
ferent high schools over the state
who are expected to make the Mar.
shall team this year so far superior
to that of last year that schedule
has been arranged with teams that
are very much superior to those play
ed last year. Also a movement is on
foot to- make Marshall full fledged
college tor university on par with the
State University in every way as far
as the courses of study and buildings
are concerned. Consequently. every
effort Is being made to raise the ath
letic standard to that of the surround
ing colleges and universities OF this
section. This has already been done
to such an extent that quite mum.
Der Of the large schools have been
asking for games in all the depar..
mcnts of intercollegiate athletics.
The scheduling of series ot
games with the University of West
Virginia is an important factor in the
growth of Marshall as it shows that,
while most schools of Marshall's size
are playing high schools and other
normal schools, she is playing full
grown universities and colleges, and
is taking rank along with them.
