New Haven, March 31.-The de- mands of enginemen and trainmen on the New Y ork, New Haven and Hart ford railroad, in the concerted move nent of railroad organizations throughout the country to obtain the eight hour day an dother changes in time and wage schedules, was pre- scented to General Manager C. l..

 This reply is the uniform one pre- sented by all roads on which de- mands have been made, to the local committee of the Big Five brother hoods. MT. Bardo says the demands will be given consideration and reply made as soon as practicable.
 He points out that existing sched- ules are satisfactory to the company as they have been the fruit of mediation and arbitration. But in considering the demands schedules which have therefore governed the fixing of runs and wages will be thrown open to disposition in light of the proposals made.

home As yet there is considera bIe doubt in the minds of fair minded people whether or not the mayor aS- Sumes any credit or discredit for what appears to have been a fiasco of the rankest kind. As yet l have not read of any public retraction being made to superintendent Kibbe. If the mayor was wrong in this why doesn't he be man and admit that he was wrong. If he was right why does he allow a committee under his ad- ministration to retain the superintend ant and also increase his salary $300 ! year.
 In speaking about the tax raises, MT. Curtis produced d paper which contains the signature of G. A. Quig- ley affixed to it for the tax increase of three mills bringing it up to 1y 6-10 mills. What is he going to tell you about this after he has signed and approved the increase" The speaker said that his opponent had laid considera ble on the school and state tax, but this was paid by the former administration. Has he told you of the $50, 900 appropriation for StreetS?"
 Slight Demonstration.
 When the whistle blew calling the workmen to their benches, someone in the crowd yelled Three cheers for Quigley," and immediately this was taken up by number of voices, and for few seconds the air was full of sentiment for the mayor. Ob- servation of the crowd, however, gives little strength, for considerable DOT ton of the makeup or the audience had not entirely rid themselves of the old country appearance.

Something over four years ago. Walter
Dill Scott-professor of psychology at
Northwestern University--wasc conducting
theoretical experiments with graduate
students in the psychological laboratory
for the purpose of determining the native
ability of different persons. The sales
manager for one of the largest automo-
bile tire companies heard of the expert

relief from the usual and apparently
unbelievable "look-a-man-over-an
his-reference" method of picking statesmen,
he asked Scott to try his experiments upon
applicants for selling positions.
Dr. Scott was used to practical as well
as theoretical work, having written the
first real textbooks on advertising, and
having been for many years in close con-
sultation with many business men upon
their business problems. He knew that
the selection of statesmen was one of the
most difficult and expensive problems in
modern business. He studied therefore.
