RAILROAD RUMBLES
OFFICIALS URGE
JOINT SESSIONS
Delegates to Fifty Sunday
Meeting Hear Timely Talks;
Next Session at Altoona

United efforts in bringing about
better working conditions, were urged
yesterday by speakers at the Fifth
Sunday Brotherhood meeting. The
attendance at Chestnut street hall,
representing members of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers and
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen, east of Pittsburgh
and Erie numbered 500. The small
attendance was explained as being
due to busy conditions on all railroads
making it impossible for the men to
get away.
AS announced there was no general
discussion of the demands for an
eight-hour day, and increased wages.
This subject was brought out during
the general discussion at the after
noon session. 1t was understood that
grand lodge officials had sent instruc-
tions that there should be no action
taken on these questions, and that no
expressions should be made indicating
the feeling among the men. These
instructions were closely adhered to.
After Mayor E. S. Meals gave the
visitors a royal welcome, the speak
ers were C. w. Griffin, assistant grand
chief of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tiveS; William Park. of the general
board of adjustment for lines east of
Pittsburgh and Erie; and II. E. Gore,
general chairman of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men. These speakers favored joint
action on all questions. They also
advocated more frequent joint ses-
sions for the discussion. of important
subjects. The next meeting will be
held in Altoona in April.

JOIN HONOR ROLL
William C. Fite, of York, Su-
pervisor of Water Sta

Confederate soldiers under General
years in the bridge building work,
two of which were on the Susque-
hanna division, between Harrisburg
and Williamsport. He also assisted
! in the construction of the first coal
chutes at Hanover junction.
In July, 1885, Mr.. Ffte assisted in
rebuilding the railroad bridges be-
tween Cockeysville, Md, and Balti-
more, which had been destroyed by a
big flood, and after that was stationed
in York permanently. On May l,
1872, Mr.. Fite was appointed super
visor of water stations on the Balti-
more, Susquehanna and Shamokin di-
vision of the company, succeeding
Alexander Frank, but on August 1,
1873, the Susquehanna and Shamo-
kin divisions were cut off and he was

vile. Mr.. Fite retires on age limit,
having reached 70 years one year

MINERS AGAINST
PA. STATE POLICE
Resolution Before Convention
Would Bar Them and
Militiamen

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. S1.-Consid-
Grafton of a resolution to bar militia
men and those identified with state
constabularies such as that in PennsyI-
vania was the most important matter
before the biennial convention of the
United Mine Workers of America when
it resumed its sessions to-day The
resolution did not emanate from the
administration or the organization and
leaders expected that 1t would be voted
down.
One of the chief arguments against
the adoption of the resolution, which
would amend the constitution of the
union, is that such action would be
contrary to the laws of several states
and possibly federal military laws.
The officers of the union in control of
the convention have legal advice to
that effect.
