BELIEVED RAILROADS
HAVE MANY LOYAL MEN
Would Not Be the Tie-up That Many
Assume-Much Favorable Com
ment on President Stevens
Letter.

or course the pending strike situa-
ton is a matter of absorbing Interest
to hundreds OF railroad men and their
families in this city. While on a
| show down" many would probably
walk out, yet 1t is thought there is
a larger number of loyalists than has
been assumed. Very largely the strike
vote on the roads centering here was
sympathetic--tha is the local men had
no grievance which could not have
been satisfactorily adjusted between
the brotherhood committees and the
company, and many on old and faith
full employe Is now in Quandary.
They do not want to quit their Jobs
and they do not wish to be considered
disloyal to the union. President Ste
vens' letter giving assurance of pro-
tecting of the mems insurance which
they carry IN the union has been very
highly commended and it is thought
viii have very salutary effect upon
the men. 1T Is nice letter." said
a railroad employe yesterday. and
it contains truth that ell employees
should well rem mber. There has
never been any occasion of a walk
out in dealings with Mr.. Stevens and
he has always been approachable. In
fact the c. * 9. is very considerable

contribute to their comfort in every
reasonable way. We have good fam

dent stevens letter. 1T has the ring
of sincerity and manifests a proper
regard for the men as we'll as loyalty

he is tie head"
At the local offices everything was
moving smoothly. There was no ex-
element and the degree OF foresight
and provisions for a possible emer-
gency were not marked by any fever
fish excitement.
1t was evident ell through the day
that there was entertained pro-
nounced hope that the strike order
will be rescinded. The opinion was
expressed by calm and thoughtful men
that the brotherhood men would
realize that II would he a good piece
of policy and one that would bring

There VIII Be No Discharges on
THIS Account.

Orders received here notifying Gem
eral Sale that there would be no
further discharges from the National
Guard due to dependent families and
tor the purpose of allowing students
TO resume their studies has created
disappointment among the men who
wanted to return to college and also
to their parents. Yesterday General
Sale was besieged with inquiries In
regard to the action of the War De-
partment but he was forced 70 follow
the ruling OF the department to the
letter. and could not give any hope TO
the parents who want a discharge for
their sons.
In several instances papers for the
discharge of the men were in the
hands OF parents, but the students
had not been released from camp, and
their DISCHARGES were revoked.
The following telegram has been
received at Camp stuart from Gov
ernor's Island. in which II is stated
that requests for discharge due TO de-
pendent families was revoked due to
the passage of the army appropriation
bill:

CURRENT COMMENT.
Something Doing In South Boston.

III s>ouLi TrttHf-
II was never our intention to incur
the displeasures OF any one in the
conduct OF this album of song but
for some reason, we have overstepped
our prcrogative. for on last Thursday
we mentioned the matter of removing
certain ,rees from the side walks and
streete IN the town OF South Boston.
In thls menucH We called TO the at
tentton Of the officials, that certain
tree in front OF the residence (nnd in
thA side walk Of Mr. W. L. Jordan.
on Main Stree:
Mr. Jordan. % last Sunday morn
ing. approached Us and remarked In
plain English, with feT frITIs
thrown in, that you meaning us}
must let my tree ~aIone. have "A
let It remain. During the time when
Mr. Ned Evans was mayor, the
arrangement was made. and that you
nor any one else could not touch that
tree. and you CHATS us) are wasting
pen and ink in trying to remove the
tree. for It could not be taken down"
We politely Informed Mr.. Jordan
that we had nothing personally
against the tree but as a newspaper
man. who was trying 10 do what he
could to advance the interest OF the
town. we felt that we had a right
to condemn the tree. and would con-
time 70 insist that II be taken down.
That tree in front of the Jordan
home on Main Street, is nuisance
and should be removed. on several
occasions. we are informed. that this
said tree has been the cause of some
OF our good citizens using very plain
abjectives when passing said object,
particularly on dark and dreary
evening. Therefore this particular I'M
harmonious appendage to the sido
walk must be removed as II IS Se-
triment TO the peace and happiness
Of one who IS forced to wend his way
along that side OF the street.
We have no apologies for writing
the article last week in which We
we're called TO task by Mr. Jordan,
and we chat Is II as long as this
paper ia controlled by us will continue

interest of this town and county

dual However. if we overstep the
mark we are willing to make amends
