CLEVELAND. May 1S.-In a
statement given out today by the
Railroad Transportation Brother
hoods, who are jointly asking for
an eight-hour day. exception is taxi
en- TO a pamphlet issued by the
railroad officials entitled THE Ma
lady of the Railroads." by Howard
Elliott. president of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad.
The employees statement admits
that Mr.. Elliott is well qualified to
speak with authority on some
phases Of railway malady. judging
from certain recent revelation
about the former financial mis-
management and wrecking of the
road which he is now directing.
Mr.. Elliott says:
1T il the present and future
which comforts us. Let the dead
past bury its dead" There must
he many things of the past in regard
to the New Haven mismanagement
over which Mr.. Elliott would like
TO draw the veil and have the pub
lie forget, especially the most re-
cent revelations.
However, the evils of the dead
past" have saddled a load of debt
on the living present and when
this burden is used as an argument
against fair wages and fair hours
to employees of the present time,
we do not forget this past" of the
New Haven and of other roads
that are so strenuously opposing
the movement to better the condi-
tions OF its employees.
The interstate commerce COM
mission says in a report on it's re-
search into the financial workings
of the New Haven system. that il
disclosed one of the most glaring
instances OF maladministration re-
yealed in all the history of the
American railroads.
A reasonable estimate of the loss
of the New Haven by reason alone
OF waste and mismanagement,"
the commission places at an amount
between 6O,OOO,0OO and 100000
dollars.
For many a year to come these
transactions are TO be a drain upon
the New Ravens resources and the
employees are expected 10 do con-
stantly increasing labor without a
corresponding increase in pay in
order TO make up this loot"
No wonder Mr.. Elliott would like
to have the public forget and '1et
the dead past bury its dead" But
the ghost of highly inflated capital
seourieties" cannot so easily be dis
posed Of
Mr.. Elliott presents statistics but
does not allow in these figures, for
the fact that the basis of an eight
hour work day already exists on a
number of railroads. He does not
allow for the fact that the demand
for an eight-hOur day does not af-
feet the hundreds of thousands of
train employees in passenger SER
vice throughout the United States.
Much stress is laid by Mr.. Elliott
on the fact that ''only is per cent
of the railway army now absorbs
2S per cent of the railways pay

PARTS FOR ORPHAN
CARS WILL BE MADE

Because of the rapid increase Of
manufacturing operations at the
plant OF the Maxwell Motor Co, in
New Castle. Ind. it is announced
that the sale and manufacture Of
parts for the Stoddard- Dayton,
Brush. Columbia and Alden-S amp-
son cars will be taken over by the
Standard Motor Parts Co. of New
castle. Ever since the Maxwell To-
Gated one OF its mammoth plants at
Newcastle. IL has operated in the
Indiana city the greatest service sta
ton in the history of the industry.
Here has been located the largest
stock OF repair pgrts i'm the world.
when the United States Motor Co.
went out OF business "A few years
ago. there were thousands of owners
OF the above-named cars. who ma
turally thought that they would be
unable 10 get repair parts thereafter.
These fears were unfOUnded. how
ever because when Walter r. F1an-
ders took over the remnants of the
defunct United States Motor Co he
arranged To manufacture and supply
parts FOR all Of the above cars at the
Newcastle plant of the Maxwell Mo
tor Co. No obligation was entailed
on the Maxwell company 10 main
tain this store of parts but not only
was il done. but owners have been
given "a 24-hour guaranteed service

Some idea of the immensely of the
system required may be gained from
the fact that at the Newcastle plant
there are $4,000 small bins for the
oatalOging and storing OF small
parts. This of course. does not IN
clude the wheels, radiators. axles and

roll" He fails to mention the very
important fact that his Is per cent
constitutes the most skilled of the
employees who are bearing a greater
responsibility and running greater
risks than any other class of railway
employees. It would be just as con-
vincing if Mr.. Elliott would show
the large salaries received by a
comparatively few higher admins
trative officials as compared TO the
total expense of administration
alongside of the numerous lesser
officials and clerks.
It is claimed by Mr.. Elliott that
this is a poor time to make a de-
mand for an increase in pay.
If. in these prosperous times it
is a poor time" the employees are
at a loss to know when would be a
good time They were told early in
the year of 1915 by the federal ar
bitration board, that mo improve
ment in their conditions of employ
ment could be granted because
there was a depression in the rail-
road business at that time" No i'm
provement could be secured during
lean" years and now Mr.. Elliott
comes forward and claims that i'm
provement in working conditions
should not be asked in good
years" The game apparently is
head L win, tails you lose" But
the employees in railway freight
train service see no good or con-
vincing reasons in Mr.. Elliott's
argument. especially in view of the
fact, that enormous sums are
wasted in mismanagement and f.
nancial manipulation and when the
United States government issues re-
ports, showing how once prosperous
railroads have been MIXED and
looted of such tremendous sums,
that the employees should have to
bear the full burden.
If only a small part OF the enor-
nous sums that are annually di-
verted from their proper uses could
be applied to the lettering of the
condition of the employe, it would
more than Offset any inconsiderable
increase which might come by the
granting of an eight-hour day.

IRELAND READY
FOR NEW RULE
Premier ASquith Said to be
Convinced That Old Gov
eminent Must Go.

DUBLIN. May 1s.-Premier AS
ouith has reached the conclusion
from impressions gathered during
his Irish visit that the old form Of
government in ireland has had its
day. II has been learned from
sources i'm the closest touch with
the premier that Mr. Asquith's
conversations and conferences have
convinced him that the future gov
eminent must be conducted on an
entirely different system
The prime minister has taken care
10 learn the ideas and views OF many
persons other than those in purely
official circles. and these persons
have offered greatly varied sugges-
tons. None Of these. ii is believed
could be adopted in its entirety. but
Il is thought they might be welded
together TO form a proposal TO lay
before the cabinet. The premier
himself does not know what form
his proposal will eventually take.
and in fact t viii probably be fully
developed only at the cabinet meet

His Belfast visit gave a good hint
70 the premier that the Obstetrics
would not accept a direct proposal
implying home rule. But it il believed
that they might be induced TO enter
into a concerted plan which could
possibly DE arranged 20 meet their
most serious objections.
Mr.. Asquith will visit Cork Thurs
dav to gather further opinions. He
has. however. not arranged 20 see
the politicians. Most Of those with
whom he will confer are OF the lit
erary and educational classes.

supposed that the main reason for
the premier's being sworn in as a
member Of the Irish privy council is
that he may become the responsible
minister in parliament for Irish af-
fairs temporarily.
The nationalist members attach
the greatest significance to this step
because IL will give the premier an

ment. They point out that should

WOMAN LOSES IN
PROPERTY FIGHT
Rightful Heirs TO Divide Estate OF
Milton L. Willis, Wealthy New
Boston Farmer.

New Boston, ILL.,. Jan. BY a de-
cision of the court in Los Angeles,
Cal, Miss Emma L. Hellmer is de-
MED all rights in the estate of Mil
ton L. Willis, of New Boston, and
the rightful heirs, who were repre-
scented throughout the controversy
by Attorney Homer Dimes, will share
the estate.
Miss Emma Hellmer is the wom-
an who during the declining years OF
his life seemed to sway such myster-
ious power over Milton Willis,
through the Great Order of the
Magi," as she styled her cult. The
woman, after mulcting the wealthy
New Boston farmer out of some
$4,000 in sash and securities, fin
ally secured deed to the entire
Willis estate, amounting to 100000
in property, which transfer was re-
corded in the old mans will.
The heirs to the property won on
two counts, one being that Milton
Willis, who died Jan. 6, 1915, was OF
unsound mind, and the other to the
effect that he had been unduly infiu-
enced. During the trial dispositions
from many Mercer county residents
were read into the records, all tend
ing to support the contention of the
rightful heirs.

THREE DAVENPORT
BARS ARE OPENED
Saloon Keepers Take Initial Steps to
Test Validity of Repeal of
Mulct Law.
ARE ARRESTED, THEN RELEASED
Special Agents of Attorney General on
Scene-COurt Fight to Be
Staged Soon.

The first step i'll the fight of the
Iowa Liquor Dealers association to
test the validity of the repeal of the
mulct law making Iowa dry was TAX
en- this morning when the saloon of
John Hill, 124 Main street, was open
ed at Z o'clock. A crowd of men
gathered in the place and liquor is
said to have been sold. About 1880
o'clock two special agents from the
attorney generals Office entered the
saloon and told the proprietor and
bartenders to close up. The crowd
was put out of the place and a con-
ference followed.
The special agents are working I'M
der the direction of Attorney General
Cosson of Iowa.. who is in Davenport
to conduct the fight for the state
They are G. A. Brunson and G. E.
Bidwell. John Hill, the proprietor of
the saloon; two bartenders, Louis
Wendell and E. A. Geiseker, and por-
ter, Henry Nissen, were placed under
arrest by the special officers and
turned over to Sheriff Eckhardt
Two Open Later.
Later John Schnack and J. J. Ma
ven, two other saloon keepers who
had opened their places. were ar
rested. All were released on their
promise to appear 1t Is probable
that the criminal action against the
men will be dropped and injunction
suits will be started at once in the
district court and the cases will be
brought up for trial Immediately.
Attorney General Cosson stated to-
day that when he came to Davenport
it was under the impression that the
saloon keepers were to open in de-
fiance of the law. Had he known that
only three were opening, and that
merely for the purpose of testing the
validity Of the repeal of the mulct
law, no arrests would have been
made, but the matter would have
been taken up Immediately by iniunc-
ton. Hill, Schnack and Maven were
chosen by the liquor dealers associa-
ton as the ones to test the law.
