TRACTION MEN HERE
JOIN NATIONAL BODY
Capital Company Employees
Form Branch of American
Electric Railway AsSo.

A branch OF the American Electric
Railway Association has been formed
i'm the Capital Traction Company. anil
today the newly elected officers OF the
organization are preparing plans to
build up it's membership. The assoc
citation has branches in practically
every large city in the cuntcry and in
some cities two or three branches
have been established.
The organization Of the Capital
Traction section was perfected at a
meeting held last night, when the
employees of the company were adj
dressed by G. G. Pierce. vice presi-
dent Of the national association. Mr..
Pierce emphasized the value Of cour-
tesy In dealings of the railway men
with patrons. He said the conduc-
tors, motormen. ard other attaches of
q street railway company really were
statesmen who were selling transpor-
tation, and that courtesy to the roads
patrons was as essential as courtesy
on the part of any other sort of sales
man.
These are the Officers of the new
branch OF the association: r. II. Dali
glcish. president; +. Morrill,, vice
president; J. Fleming, secretary; A.
Wilkinson, treasurer; d. S. CARL, T.,
Won Culin, G. j. Hoshall, and T.. l..
Trayson, directors.

managers. Il IL planned the peace
pact OF 1915 shall be signed.
The Florcntine rom was engaged for
Progressive use In June as far back as
the day OF the Republican National
Committee meeting In Washington last
December. Perkins, who was In Chica 30
at the time, on receiving telegraphed
Vention would open In Chicago on June
because OF It's historic association with
Progressive politics. He also engaged
ample quarters I'm different hotels for
the big crowd Progressives expect Will
attend their convention either as dele
gates or 'rooters."
It is said by Progressives their ma
tional convention probably would be
larger In point Of numbers than that Of
the Republicans. A wave of enthusiasm
over the get together program is
expected to carry several thousands OF
ProEressives from different States TO
Chicago to be In at the great finale.
The two conventions, acting together,
uniting on candidates, are sure, II is
said, TO constitute a political occasion
OF the first magnitude, eclipsing any
thing In the convention line since the
tremendously important convention that
named Abraham Lincoln for President.
Progressive leaders deny there Is 10
be any negation Of their principles in
the contemplated union with the Repub-
leans AS one of them put IT, "1he
principle of Americanism Is the great
issue now and for the time being IL
should and will supersede all others"
