GOVERNOR WEARS
HIS MOCCAS|NS
LIKE AN INDIAN
THAT IS BACKWARD so HIS
FOOTSTEPS CANNOT BE

INDICATIONS ARE he is USING

SENATE.
eBy GEO. W. suMMERs.l


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The Graf
ty Indian used to put mis- moecasins
on backward, so his footsteps could
not be trailed. The mountaineer of
West Virginia learned his early les
sons from the Indian and partakes
OF his nature in cunning and 9hrewd
ness. Governor Hatfield comes Of the
old mountain stock, which learned
the lesson of the moceasins from the.
Indian, and his steps in politics are
hard to follow. 1t is believed by many
persons from West Virginia who
have been seen in Washington tina.
the Governor has his moccasins on
backward at the present time and
is trying to prevent those who are
on his trail from knowing in just
what direction he is headed. The
Indians with the reversed moccasins
deceived their enemies for a time,
till the latter discovered their ruse,
and so Governor Hatfield has succeed
ed in deceiving some of his enemies
into the belief that his moccasins
are ON straight, while others are OF
the belief that if they were or
straight. while others are of the be-
lief that if they were on straight
{bor mould moi fif
The fact is. the Governor will have
a hard time in persuading those who
know him that he is out of the race
for the senatorship from West Vir-
ginia. simply by letting it be under
stood that he encouraged w. r. Hite,
OF Huntington, to enter the race.
Friends of Isaac T. Mann and Davis
Elkins assert openly that the more
encouraging of candidate by Cover
nor Hatfield does not mean that he
will support him, and it would not in
the least surprise them il Hite should
receive the same kind of treatment
Mann and Elkins received when they
we're candidates for the senatorship
in 1913.
Dividing the Opposition.
Bringing out candidates to divide
the opposition is regarded by many
West virginians as mere matter OF
putting the moccasins on backward.
and does not any more indicate that
they will be supported than the moe
casin tracks indicated the Indian was
going east because his toe tracks
pointed in that direction. On the con-
trary, there are those who believe
that the bringing out of Hite as a can
didate with the apparent support of
Hatfield. Denham, Highland North
colt and Guthrie, who are opposed
to have brought him out for the SEN
atorship, is simply an indication that
the governor will be candidate for
the place himself
In a straight race between Hatfield
and any one opponent. the opposition
would unite on the one candidate,
making it difficult, at least, if not i'm
possible, for Hatfield to obtain the
nomination. But, with the opposition
tc him divided, and several candidates
gathering in the support of those who
are opposed to the Hatfield candi-
dacy, the Governor could win the
nomination easily. This, it is said,
is back of the Hite candidacy. and
it is understood that influences well
concealed but starting from the same
source are at work to induce Con-

gressman-at-Large Sutherland to an
nounce his candidacy for the same
office. While Hatfield might not be
able to defeat the opposition, If con
centrated on one man, his strength IS
not diminished by a multiplicity Of
candidates. while the opposition TO
him is scattered and weakened by
each new candidate in the race.

RAILROAD MEN ARE
ASKING MILLIONS
Proposed Wage Demands Will be
Greatest Ever knowingly Rolls
Now $500, 100000.

Many millions of dollars will be
added to the railroad pay rolls if the
100000 men in train service force the
carriers to meet their new demands
for higher wages, which are expected
to be presented in March. Engineers,
firemen, conductors and trainmen
from Maine to California, on every
mile of railroad in the country, are
now voting authority to their leaders
to bargain with the roads for more
pay. A simultaneous demand will be
made on all the roads to adopt the
new rates if the vote is favorable.
This is the first countrywide de-
mand by railroad workers for more
wages. The battle ground for bigger
pay checks has never before extend
ed beyond the boundaries of one Sec
ton of the country the East, the
West or the South; and even in these
territorial struggles the four brother
hoods have never made joint demands.
Some of the leaders of the men have
announced that this will be a fight to
a finish, and that they are opposed to
arbitration.
Pay Rolls Near $780, 100000
The railroad pay roll now APP
+proaches $1,000, 900, 900 a year for the
great army of nearly 100000 men.
The 1910 pay roll was $1,140,0 900
for 100, 100000 men; for the same
number of men in 1914 the pay roll
was $1,400,000,000 or $250,000, 900
more, because of wage increases. The
proportion of the gross receipts of
the railroads paid out in wages has
been steadily rising in the past few
years by reason of the successive
wage advances.
Out of every dollar now received
by the roads for carrying freight and
passengers the employees get As cents;
lin other words the pay roll absorbs
not far from half of the $3,000,000 900
of gross revenue. Two-thirds of the
total cost of operation is for labor.
The employees share of the total re-
ceipts has risen from 40 per cent to
As per cent in the past few years.
Don't Ask Shorter Hours.
The men of the engineers,
firemen, conductors and trainmen--
are an army of third of million,
and their share of the pay roll APP
proaches $4O0,OO0,OO0 a year. Their
concerted demands for higher pay in
creased their yearly earnings from
1910 to 1914 by more than $4,000 900,
without any increase in the number
of men employed.
The higher wage demands to be
made by the leaders of the brother
hoods provide that the basic pay day,
for all excepting passenger service,
shall be changed to 100 miles or eight
hours, with pay for overtime at one
and half times the new higher rate.
In other words, the demand is that
the freight speed basis for wage COM
putting shall be increased from 10 to
I121A miles an hour, or % per cent,
and the overtime rate increased S71z
per cent.
That the men are asking for high
er wages and not for shorter work
ing hours is frankly stated by lead
ers of the unions
