PRISONER ATTACKS CAPTOR
Alleged Deserter Recaptured After
Knocking Down Detective and
Attempt to Flee

The thought of walking through the
streets of West Philadelphia handcuffed
was sufficient provocation for an alleged
deserter from the navy to knock uncon-
sclous the private detective who was with
him, throw part of the Brill car works in
an uproar scare many housewives in the
section of the plant and give crowd of
1000 an exciting chase before he was cap
tured again.
The former seaman, Horace Goodfellow,
23 years old, of 6346 Theodore street, had
left work and was walking with the de-
tective quietly until the handouts were
brought out.
District Detective Woodruff and Patrol
man Gilmore, of the Sixty-fifth street and
Woodland avenue station, were gaining on
the man when he suddenly jumped through
a cellar window at SlXty-third and Reed
land streets, taking the sash with him. He
was found in the cellar, crouching under
a meter, and turned over to the Govern
ment authorities.

The demands in this controversy have not been
presented, in judgment for the purpose of fixing
definite daily period of labor, reduction in the
existing hours of labor change in methods of opera
ton, but for the real purpose of accomplishing an
increase in wages Of approximately One Hundred
Million Dollars per annum, or IS per cent for the men
in railroad freight train and yard service represented
by the labor organizations in this matter.
After careful examination of the facts and patient
and continuous consultation with the Conference
Committee OF Managers, and among ourselves, we
have reached clear understanding of the magnitude
of the questions and of the serious consequences to
the railroads and to the public involved in the decision
of them

President may fix, not, however, less than three
months.
(c) In view of the farreachng consequences of the
declaration made by the President, accepting the
hour day. not only upon the railroads and the classes
of labor involved directly in this controversy but to
the public and upon all industry, it plain that
before the existing conditions changed the whole

Commission to be appointed by the President, of
such standing as to compel attention and respect to
its findings. The judgment of such Commission
would be helpful basis for adjustments with labor

The Final Railroad Proposal
The final proposal made railroads peaceful
but which rejected by the boehoods, follows:

(a) The railroads will, effective September T. 1916,
keep the time of all represented in this movement
with each man, maintain record of the difference
between the money actually earned by him on the
present basis and the amount that would have been
earned upon an hour basis-overtme each basis
to be computed pro rata
The amounts so shown will be subject to the
decision of the Commission provided for in Paragraph
(c) of this memorandum and payable in money as
may be directed by said Commission in its findings and

(b) The Interstate Commerce Commission to

less than 30 per cent of the whole numbe interested
in the railroad wage fund-as trustees also for the
millions of people that have invested their savings and
capital in the bonds and stock of these properties

involved, undertake to transfer the cost
that will result to the transportation of the commerce
Of the country.
The eght-hour day without punitive overtime
involves annual increase, approximately in the
aggregate of Sixty Millions of Dollars and an increase
of more than per cent. in the pay of the men,

Public Investigation Urged

The questions involved are in our respectful judg-
ment. eminently suitable for the calm investigation
and decision by the public through the agency of fair
arbitration, and cannot be disposed Of to the public
satisfaction, in any other manner.
The decision of a Commission or Board of Arbi-
tration, having the public confidence will be accepted
by the public and the social and financial rearrange
ments made necessary thereby will be undertaken by
the public, but in no less deliberate nor orderly
manner.
The railroads of the country cannot under present
conditions assume this increase in their
expenses. If imposed upon them, it would involve
many in early financial embarrassment and bank
ruptcy and imperil the power of all TO maintain
their credit and the integrity of their securities
The immediate increase in COST followed by other
increases that would be inevitable would substan-
the railroads and disable them from expanding and
improving their facilities and equipment, to keep
abreast of the demands of the country for efficient
transportation service.

Setting Clocks Ahead.

Washington, May 1.-Whether the
example of the German government,
which set all the clocks in the empire
ahead one hour today, could be fol-
lowed in this country to good advan.
tage is doubted.
1t seems impossible that there can
be harmony in time relations between
nations when, as in the case Of Ger
many, times after today will be meas
ured by new standard.
1t is announced by the Bundesrath
that the advancing of time one hour in
Germany will result in a vast saving
Of money, not to speak of the health
benefits that will accrue to the work
ers, who will go to bed an hour ear
lier each night and get up an hour
earlier than usual.
According to economists in this city,
the action of the Bundesrath was pri-
n1alily taken to conserve the nations
resources, two of which are lighting
and fuel, and 10th of which are ad-
nlittedly growing more scarce.
After May /, under the new time
standard, the nation will be just one
hour ahead of the world. While work
men Of other European nations and
the United States are spending the
Eour between and 6 snoozing, those
Of Germany will be hard at work. At
the close Of their working day the Ger
mans will have an extra hour for rec
reation.
