THIS MUST BE A JOKE
Vets Object When SchOtt Proposes
TO Address Them on Loop Plan.

Because several members of the Lib
eral League objected to bringing the
league into politics. Rapid Transit Com
missioner Chris Schott did not speak
on the loop project before the league at
its second annual meeting in Central
Turner Hall last evening, as he planned.
The matter was not pressed to a vote.
President George Lahusen presided.
Addresses on the liquor question were
delivered by Homer Durand, Chris.
Schott, Parke Johnson and several 9TH
crs.
a significant feature of Mr.. Durand's
address was a statement to the effect
that in Michigan, where he had been
active recently, the 'wets' carried seven
out of 13 counties, and he declared
Michigan is safe in the wet column.
The secretary, Henry Schneiders, re-
ported that since the last fall election
the membership of the league had been
increased by 1000, making total of
1905.
1t was resolved to hold an outing at
Coney sland July %, to be addressed
by speakers of national reputation.

BOND ISSUE
OF Cincinnati Gas and Electric APP
provcd-No Action ON Obicc-
tiOns to Lease.

Columbus, Ohio, - Permission was
granted the Cincinnati Gas and Electric
Company to-day by the Utilities Com
mission to issue AT once and sell $500
600 of its new five per cent forty-ycar
gold bonds with which to erect new
power station on the river bank at the
site selected
The issuance OF the remaining portion
OF the Slj,O0O,OOO authorized was with
held, the company not planning further
sale OF the bonds.
The commission, in issuing its sane
ton, did not pass on the question Of the
new lease between the Cincinnati Gas
and Electric Company, owners of the
property, and the Union Gas and Elcc-
trio Company, the lessee and operator,
although objection to that lease was
made by the dissenting stockholders ten
days ago at the hearing when held.
The commission at that time init
mated broadly it was hardly within its
province to pass on the lease, even
though it be a new one, its duty being
limited to seeing the public get fair
treatment in rates and service

with that company and the St. Louis
& San Francisco Railroad which pro-
vidcd for annual salary OF $4,000 for five
years, and a bonus OF $500, 900 at the ex-
piration OF the contract Alter ten
months service, the companies wanted
to be released from this contract and
"hc was given bonds OF the railway COM
pany OF a par value OF Si5O,0O0." This
was borne by the two companies and the
Rock Islands proportion was charged
to profit and loss.
Robert Mathcr, vicc-presidcnt OF the
Rock Island, was given $4,000 in cash,
while George T. Boggs, another OF
fetal, was given $4,000 cash when he
retired.
The report makes this conclusion
"Ihe contributions to officials Of the
railway company in excess OF their sal
aries aggregated about "A million dol
lars"
The brotherhoods' bureau makes this
statement:
From the above report OF the
United States Interstate Commerce
Commission it is plain that railroad
payrolls do not always show what the
officials actually receive. There is no
question as to the railroads ability to
meet the demands for an cight-hour
day il the funds, which in the past have
been diverted from their proper uses,
are allowed to remain in the treasures
of the railroads to meet the necessary
expenditures OF running railroads as
business institutions"

Railroad Officials
Pay Secret Salaries
The Publicity Bureau of the Four Railroad Brotherhoods
Challenge the Claim, of Railroad Officials.

Cleveland. O.-In statement issued
by the publicity bureau OF the four rail
road brotherhoods, these workers chal-
lenge the claim OF railroad officials that
train service employees receive stipend
ous wages.
The railroads give list OF a dozen
or so engineers and conductors who
receive fancy pay. These men, by rea-
son OF certain choice limited passcn-
ger runs. are held up as examples OF
what the train service men receive. As
matter OF TACT they are exceptional
cases and are not fair examples OF what
the tram service men receive. The pres
ent cight-hOur movement does not en-
brace the passenger train Crews-Only
freight men; therefore, it is not proper
to use any passenger service men as
illustrations
While discussing the claims Of al
legged high wages paid by railroads, the
brothcrhOOds bureau turns the man
ayers gun on themselves by making
public the enormous salaries and secret
contributions made to managers Re
