After making this saving in the

sideration two bond issues, one for
$zOO,OOO and one for 100000, that
were passed by the legislature of
1913 and the expenditure Of which
was largely in Alexander's admins

The 100000 bond issue passed
by the legislature of 1913. il will be
remembered, was not available. The
interest upon it had been fixed at
per cent and the bonds were not sold
The sale upon them languished until
the legislature of 1915 raised the

ACT IAPERIIIS WAGE
CONTRACTS. MTTDCE &

II. U. Nudge, president OF the Den
YER & Rio Grande railroad, who was
IN Salt Lake last Saturday, declared
that II the railroads of the country
desired to break all the contracts
and wage agreements which they
have with the employees the Adamson
eight-hour bill gives them the priyi-
lege of doing so.
He asserted that the bill gave the
railroads. opportunity to upset the
present rates of pay for members
OF the four railroad brotherhoods
have been working for more than 40
years. The doing away with the inter-
mediate rates OF pay and the placing
OF railroad men on an eight-hour
basis alone would work to the detri-
ment OF the employees, he said, and
he thought the employees of the rail-
roads should look into the provisions
OF the bill before giving il support
The Adamson bill is a detrfment
to the railroad employees, for it gives
TO the railroads, IL they SO desire. the
right to abrogate every contract that
has been made by the railroads with
the members of the brotherhoods .
said Mr.. Nudge. "If the railroads
desired to take advantage of the
Adamson bill the men Will find thai

Some look upon II as a bill to post

will be much harder to get a strike
vote the next time. as the men are
alive TO what the Adamson bill
means.
In the first place It puts passenger
and freight men on the same basis.
Both classes can be forced to work
eight hours for a days work under
the bill. The average passenger run
Is about four or five hours and the
railroads can either pay In proper
tion to an eight-hour day for the
time of passenger men or could re-
auiTe the full eight hours to be
worked. Another thing is that IL does
away with the mileage pay basis.
For example. IL is about I25 miles
from Salt Lake TO Helper. The pas
senger engineer is paid on the basis
OF 100 miles for a day and on pas
senger runs makes a day and a quar-
ter and works about five hours to do
It. Under the Adamson bill IL the
l 20 miles Is made In less than eight
hours il would mean proportionate

TWO MORE PIONEERS
ANSWER FINAL SUMMONS

David Kunz died at his home IN
Bern at an early hour on the morning
OF Oct. "a. Death was caused from
what the doctors pronounced bleed.
ing cancer of the stomach
The deceased was the son of John
and Rosina Kunz. He was born In
the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. on
Oct. 80, 1856. With his parents
brothers and sisters he accepted the
Mormon faith in 1859. The family
came to the United States In 1870
and located at Logan. The following
spring they moved to Ovid, where
they resided for five years. The fam
lily then moved to what is known as
the townsite of Bern, where David
again experienced the trials OF pio-
neer life. He has always been looked
upon as pillar of the community OF
Bern, both In civil and ecclesiastical
life. He was a friend of the sufferer
and always ready to assist those who
needed financial aid or good advice.
In the fall of 1884 he was called
TO serve on mission and spent two
years In preaching the gospel in his
native land. He was the father of
twelve sons and six daughters. all of
whom grew to be honorable men and
women, respected by all who knew
them. The children, together with
the widow, survive him. He is also
survived by five brothers and one
sister, all but two of whom reside
at Bern.
Mr. kunz finished his life In com
pliance with the religion he had enl-
braced, and in full faith of glorious
resurrection.
His funeral services we're held
from the Bern meeting house yester-
day afternoon at one o'clock.

life another of the pioneers of Utah
and Idaho. Death was caused from
cancer of the liver, with which she
had been afflicted for the past year
or more, altho she was bedfast for
only five weeks prior to her death
but during that time she suffered In
tense pain.
Mrs. Passey's maiden name was
Druseilla TheobaId. She was born on
the Isle OF Wight on Oct. 2z. 1872,
and was therefore a few days past
"a years of age. Her parents emf
grated to the United States in 1919,
coming direct to Salt Lake, where
she grew to womanhood and was
married to Thos. Passey. They came
to Bear Lake valley in 1856, settling
at Paris, where they lived until 1870,
when they removed to Nounan. After
q residence Of four years there, Mr..
Passey bought what is now known
as the Passey ranch. Just west Of
Bear river on the MontpeIIer-Paris
road. There he engaged IN the dairy
business, which he continued until q
short time prior to his death six
years ago. Soon after hts death Mrs.
Passey removed to Paris, where she
has since resided
Mrs. Passey Is survived By five
sons-John T.. Geo. H.. Edgar. W.
