AMERICANS AND 7 C0NSCR|PTIoN

Conscription has always been a hateful word in the United States, and during the civil war the efforts of the government to force the citizens to serve in the army were often bit terly resented. At times the opposi- ton to the draft reached the point of open rebellion. The worst of these insurrections was that which occurred in New York fiftylthree/ years ago today. The agitation of the peace faction had aroused many men to frenzy, and when on July IS 1863, the draft began in a building at Third avenue and Forty-sixth street large crowd assembled and fired the edifice. The police were overpowered, and for three days and nights the mob was in possession of the city. The color ed people were the speelal objects of the mob's wrath. Negroes were hunt ed like wild beasts and many were beaten to death in the streets. Be- fore the instruction was finally SUD- pressed a thousand persons were kill ed or wounded and property worth $2,000,000 was destroyed. The riot CTS were not Mexicans.

GRANT PARSONS
 FOUNDRY RIGHT TO BUILD TRACKS
Public Utilities Commission to Consider Standard Mfg.
 Co. Request.

The Public Utilities commission has granted the Parsons Foundry Co. per mission to build a spur track from the Berkshire division tracks of the New Haven road across Housatonic avenue into the concerns factory yard. The track will permit freight cars to De brought directly into the factory and loaded or unloaded.
 A similar petition from the Standard Mfg. Go. was taken under advisement. Because of the opposition to the peti- tion of Mary F. Whitney for a spur track which was to extend through Wakeley street, to which there was has decided to investigate the matter thoroughly before granting the re- quest The petition of the Standard Mfg. Go. proposes to have its spur track pass through a portion of Fred erick street.
 The hearings on the Parsons Foun- dry and Standard Mfg. Go. petitions were heard on Tuesday. Attorney William B. Boardman of this city rep resented the Bridgeport concerns and Attorney Norman Buckingham of Mill ford represented the railroad.
 | At a previous hearing before the commission the petition of Mary IF. Whitney for the spur track through Wakeley street was refused because Carl Foster, her attorney, could not tell the name of the big industry that was to locate on the Whitney property if the petition was granted. All the property owners in Wakeley street and, vicinity opposed the petition.

OPERATORS SAY WORK IS PLENTY
 BUT WAGES SMALL
Federal Board of Arbitra tion Hears Grievances
 of R. R. Operators

New York, July 13.-At the Hotel Manhattan yesterday the Federal Board of Arbitration resumed its in- quiry into the dispute between the Or der of Railroad Photographers and the New York Central and Nickel Plate" lines by suggesting that every one re- move his coat. Harry K. Daugherty, of Grove, City, Pa., the chairman, said: We probably can get a better hold on the question in our shirt sleeves Most of us are used to working that way" Only few availed themselves of the privilege at first.
 The New York Central dispute was interrupted for an hour or two while A. W. Johnson, general manager of the Nickel Plate,' and F. F. Cowley, a tower signal man of Mortimer, O., presented their sides. The only dis pute on this line is over Sunday work. The union demands overtime pay for all Sunday work. At present the men work six hours Sundays without extra pay and receive 35 cents per hour for Sunday work in excess of six hours. t.f p
 Two years ago tho company said they could not work telegraphers less than eight hours on Sunday, but they are getting along on six hours now" MT. Cowley said. we say they could reduce Sunday work 40 per cent. fur ther without cost to the company. we concede that ,165 men on the road would be compelled to work Sum days and it would cost the road $19,754 a year under the new scale, but the Nickel Plates gross earnings were 11,294,000 in 1914, the last year a re- port was available, and now under the new ownership we are booming. My present earning capacity is $s22 a year."i | would you ask the Nickel Platei to give shorter hours than it's rivals" Mir. Johnson asked.
 Sure" said MT. Cowley. "We hope others will get theirs, but it Is up to them to do their own fighting. Some railroads do give Sunday overtime now. The Canadian roads give it.
 | "Now. Nickel Plate telegraphers av- craze $72.24 month for every. day \ in the year. School teachers. bank clerks, and factory office help along Ithe Nickel Plate line average $S5 to $9O a month and have Sundays and holidays off" ,.
 MT. Cowley presented several reports from physicians along the Nickel Plate" saying that continuous tele- graph work without any time off is conducive to premature physical break downs. t1
 "I am an example or proof of that" said MP. Cowley. "I was pret- ty shaky six weeks ago when quit the Mortimer tower to do this commit tee work for the union and now am feeling fine."
 Did you ask the company's physi- clans about the effect of steady work on the health of telegraphers'' asked MT. Johnson.
 "No, indeed" said MT. Cowley, i've were not certain they would know or care to say what they know"

PHILIPPINE COIN
 VALUED HIGH AS SCRAPPED METAL
British India Buys Large Quantity at Increased
 Price Over Mint Value

Manila, F. |, July 13--The Philip pine government has just sold to the government of British India 7,500, 900 silver pesos at a profit of close to half a million dollars over the original cost of the currency. The pesos when coined, each contained about thirty cents worth of silver but the price at which they were sold was 3S-s cents
 The phenomenAl rise in the price of silver the world over some weeks ago led officials of the insular government to study the question of the wisdom of dispodng of . part of the silver hoard which the Philippines purchased at the low prices current in 1902 and 1908. At that time this purchase was made necessary by law to secure the issu- ance of 34.ooO. 900 pesos of paper cur rency (siiyer certifcates). A later law, passed in 1906, permitted large part of this issue of silver oertificates to be secured by gold but the govern ment then had in it's vaults 34,0O0,0OO silver pesos, coined at a cost of thirty cents apiece
 Some weeks ago ,. L. Manning. the insular treasurer. was sent, to Hong Kong to look into the silver market and to confer with. officials of the gov- srnment of India, then in the market for silver. The net result of his ntp was the sale of about one-dfth of the governments hoard. The delivery of the silver is to be made at the Manila branch of the Hongkong and Shang- hai Banking Corporation. in lots of a million pesos. The coin Is then to be transferred to India whore it Is to be melted into bullion in the presence of Insular auditor c. H. French who ia
 now en route to India to fulfn this duty.
