Railroad officials and representa- tives of the trainmen's brotherhoods appeared in force today at the Senate interstate commerce commission hearings on President Wilson's legls- lative program to prevent the threat ened railroad strike.
 Elisha Lee, chairman of the man. ager's committee, headed the dele- gation of railway officials, which 1n- cluded President Underwood of the Erie; President Willard of the Balti- more & Ohio; Samuel Req. president of the Pennsylvania; Fairfax Harri- son. president of the Southern and R. s. Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific.
 Representing the men were A. B. Garretson, w. G.. Lee. w. $. stone ana w.. S. Carter, the four brotherhood heads. Officials of the American Fed eration of Labor, headed by President Gompers. Assistant-Attorney Todd, and E. E. Clark, of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, also were present.
 At the outset of the hearing, Sem ator Newlands, chairman of the com mittee, announced it's purpose and said none of the proposed legislation included compulsory arbitration.
 "It simply provides" he said, "in case of failure of voluntary mediation and arbitration. for a government ln-
 .,iry and the stay of the action of all parties to the controversy until ln- yestigation and report should pc made. leaving them free thereafter to act as they might be advised.
 Senator Newlands spoke of the snort lime remaining for Congress to act, and said:
 "This present dispute, if carried to ;ts extremes, will involve the United States in a civil war. The question Is whether we cannot find some means of bringing about a settlement Of the dispute between employers and em- nloves without resort to force"
 The brotherhood representatives ,vere heard first At the request or MT. Garretson it was agreed that the brotherhood leaders should address the committee two hours in opening and an hour in closing. Between those two periods, representatives of the employers anad shippers have six hours. He announced that beside the heads of the four brotherhoods Sam uel Gompers, president of the Amer lean Federation of Labor, would speak.
 MT. Garretson then began with a general review of the circumstances which led up to the present condi- tions. It was the belief of labor or he said, that differences between employers and employees should not be settled by legislation, but rather between themselves.
 'The success of any labor organiza- ton lies, to an extent, in its patli-

trial.
 Attorney Cuh--afr Interposed argu- ment that body writs had been is- sued against only two defendants, O'Leary and P. F. Duffy, and that in the case of Duffy, substitute $10,000 bond had been satisfactory.
 Attorney Cullinan closed his argu- ment by asserting that s10,0O0 bonds would be adequate to insure O'Learys presence at any hearings that might be held.
 In passing upon the motion Judge Webb intimated that he would let the application stand at the present amount of bonds but in the event of the defendant relinquishing himself they would be reduced as requested.
 It is now understood that the cir cumstances are such as to warrant an immediate appearance for service of the labor leader and it is expected that a stiff fight will be made this autumn against the actions now pending.
 OLeary has been in this city since the institution of the suit, returning here to arrange the bonds of Duffy, who was served by Deputy Sheriff Cunningham at the Atlantic Hotel. The deputy sheriff, however, has not made service. O'Leary carried cre- dentials that would result in a local institution posting his bond immedi- ately.

SENATOR NEWLANDS, AT HEARING
 SAYS STRIKE MEANS CIVIL WAR

tancy," he said. "We are in a grip of a power greater than we. It is un- fortunate that this situation has arisen but I believe if a settlement can De effected by Congress, even though we are opposed to such settlements, we would be willing to waive the old tra- dition against it. Such settlement in this controversy will be desirable in the circumstances.
 Today" he said, "thousands of men throughout this country are working from 12 to 16 hours of which there is no complete record"
 These conditions, Garretson declar- ed, were responsible for the united appearance of the protherhoods in systematically demanding the human right to enejoy some of the things other men enjoy.
 we believe" said Garretson, "that questions affecting society take pre- cedence over economics. We believe that the human elements should be considered regardless of its effect on dividends The obligation on the part of the railroad employer is as great to keep the human element in good condition as the wooden and iron property of the road. Humanity is just as much a part of the system as the engine or the lathe."
 MT. Garretson argued that the ef- feet of an increased wage on dividends should not be considered when it was obvious that employees were not being paid a proper wage.
 Attacking the railways plea for ar bitration as insincere, MT. Garretson insisted that it was not offered to men who were so poorly organized that they could not enforce demands.
 T say on behalf of these railroad men," Garretson declared emphatical- ly. that there is evidence today of a deadly danger underlying the social crust and that it is liable to be brought to the surface unless means are found to settle this difficulty before it can reach the danger stage"
 He declared the brotherhood could call the strike off only by reporting that satisfactory settlement had been reached. To postpone the strike after the men had voted it, Garretson de- clared, would mean the disintegration of the brotherhood and "the turning over to the mobs of the trains as in 1877 and 1894.
 "I want to impress on the commit tee" said he, that since the beginning of these negotiations no definite pro- posal ever has been made to us by the other side. They nave said but one thing; they have offered to leave the whole matter to the interstate conn merce commission"
 Garretson added that he wanted to assure senators that the brotherhoods were not opposed to arbitration.

TEN NEW FREE CLINICS WILL
 BE INSTITUTED New Welfare Building Will Be Erected In Central
 Section of City. PREPARE FOR 500
 PATIENTS DAILY Bridgeport Physician May Be Named Associate
 Health Officer.

A three-story building of the con- gregate type, with the entire first floor devoted to 10 clinics, including the emergency hospital and ambulance departments, is the plan of the board of health and charities, following a conference yesterday afternoon in the office of Mayor Wilson.
 A committee composed of President Stevens of the health board, member Monahan of the health board, Presi- dent Behrens of the charities board and Mayor Wilson will select the site for the building this afternoon. The site most likely to be chosen is LOOK 150 feet, located on Congress street.
 Clinics for the treatment of skin, venereal and contagious diseases and dental, pathological, surgical, neuro- pathic and bacteriological depart ments are expected to be located on the first floor of the buildings, with provision for the addition of more as they are needed.
 It is estimated that 500 persons a day may be treated at the clinics.
 A large room in which the health inspectors may congregate for prep
 
 chief inspector and one for his stem ographer. will be provided for. Off, fees for the health commission oners, the health officer and his associate, will be arranged for. The charities commissioners have not yet submit ted a list of the rooms and depart ments they will require.
 The nurses quarters will be on the top floor, it is expected.
 A wide corridor for the first floor with large waiting room for pa tients is planned. It is expected the clinics will be on each side of the corridor. Provision for the ambu- lance department is expected in this section.
 The commissioners discussed the ad- visibility yesterday of having build ing of the congregate or unit type, and the sentiment was in favor of the The building will be so however, that an addition may be made at comparatively low cost.
 Architect Leonard Asheim suggested finding the lot first and fitting the building to it. Mayor Wilson had sev- eral plots in view, he said. and he es- tinnated that a lot 1o0x150. which he had in mind, would be adequate.
 Architect Asheim suggested obtain ing 50 feet on a main thoroughfarc, If nothing else was available, for the en- trance. The rest, he said, could be in the rear of other build ings.
 A Bridgeport man is likely to be the associate health officer, as Mayor Will son has informed the board of health that he believes local man should be given the preference. Several local physicians are after the place.
 Dr. J. J. Macdonald, former super intendent of Hillside home. is being it is said. because he has had training in sanitation. Friends of Dr. D. H. Monahan, member or the health board, are discussing the possibility of his landing the job.
 The new health officer virtually Will be in control of that department, 1t Is expected. He will be the executive. at a good salary.
 One new case of poliomyelitls was found today. Walter English, aged two years and one-half, of 54 Railroad avenue, was taken to Hillside home.
