SUITOR REELECTED
BY QUARRY WORKERS
Barre Man Received Unanimous Election,
All Other Candidates Having With
drawn Before Voting Began
for Internal tional Secre-
tary-Treasurer.

From the IS branches of the Quarry
Workers international union scattered
throughout the United States and Can
ada, returns indicate that Fred W. Suitor
has been unanimously reelected to the
office OF secretary and treasurer for the
ensuing two years. At the outset there
were two other candidates for the office
in the sense that their names were pre-
sented by branches. John King Of Gran
iteville. who was the nominee OF the
Bethel branch, withdrew from a possible
contest as soon as he was advised OF the
action taken by the Windsor county
quarry workers. The same stand was
taken by ?. J. Dacev OF Milford. Mass,
when the branch in his home city pre-
sented his name.
Thus the withdrawal OF Messrs King
and Daeey left the field to Mr. Suitor
and the voting thereafter was of ma
ture more or less perfunctory Each
branch, however, polled its preference
and the returns from all corners of the
great area embraced by the association
have been tabulated by the executive
The return OF Mr.. Suitor to the re.
sponsibilities of the two Offices furnishes
striking evidence of the confidence re-
posed in him by quarry-workers wher
ever they are organized in the United
States and Canada Since the last elec-
.ionin l9l4-the secretary treasurer

ielicate situations. A large number OF

ASSIGNMENT OF BISHOPS OF KEEN INTEREST
 TO THE METHODISTS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 SARATOGA SPRINGS, x. r., May 2.-Just where the bishops vii, be as- signed for the next four years is a subject of keen interest at the quadr- renniaI session of the Methodist Gen- eral Conference here today
 Interest centers about who will be sent to Washington as successor to Bishop Cranston. Washington and New York are the most desired loca- tions.
 It is believed the Washington plum" will go either to Bishop Luth- CT B. Wilson of New York, or Bishop William Fraser Mcdowell of Chicago.
 Bishop Wilson, however, may be re- turned to New York, where he has ac- complished so much for MeyhoUsm, and Bishop Mcdowell may go to Washington. Dr. McDowell is vice chancellor of the Methodist Uni versity at the capitol, and he is a close friend of Bishop Cranston.
 If Bishop Wilson is not returned to New York, the next incumbent likely will be Bishop Mcdowell or Bishop Frank J. Mcconnell, now resident in Denver. Dr. Mcconnell was conse- crated only four years ago. Until then he was pastor of New York Avenue Church, Brooklyn.

WHAT ABOUT THE
OTHER sIx-sEvENTHs

A significant point insthe statement
Of Elisha Lee defending the position
OF the railways in the present contro
versy is his assertion that the propo-
sition Of the president granting the
eight-hour day would increase the
wage bill Of the railways $~5O,000.00O
a yea for the benefit Of only one
seventh of the employees, and these
the best-paid class Of labor retained
by the roads.
Here is an argument Of q pertinence
quite apart from the present deadlock
1T ID an areumnt tor a fairer distri-
button Of the wages paid railway en-
polyes. II ID an arraignment no less
of the railways themselves than of
the unions which are nov demanding
higher pay without arbitration. It
suggests the plight OF the white coll
lar, nice mad of the Railways whose
experience and skin yield him but the
barest Twins. II is q reminder Of the
$~25-a-month porter who sustains his
family 3 u tips given grudginaly ~
the public which has already paid
tor Its service.
