They are Just out on the track for twoyear run

steps will probably settle down for the long grind
With less attention to party fourishes.
Not oil the partisan moves are on one side, by a
good deal. The outgoing board began the fights by
curtailing the appointive powers Of the incoming
mayor, and the Republican majority on the new
board 10 understood to be recognizing the standing
committees with view to minimizing the promin-
ence Of the two Democratic brethren.
Mayor Ferns message had the right ring even if
the appointments he sent to the board Immediately
afterward are In most cases unacceptable. II the
mayor lives up to half Of the good resolutions for
efficiency first" outlined in his inaugural speech,
the next two years should be harmonious
There must be the spirit Of give-andtake on both
sides Of board, Republican and Democratic. po-
hey Of reprisals against the Democratic minority
IL poor policy, and it is just as poo. policy for
the Democratic minority constantly to butt it's head
against the stone wall Of the "solid Five" on the
board.
That the new mayor really expects to displace
efficient ofceholders with inefficient party pluggers
is doubtful. But he is making the opening moves
in the game for "the organization"
Don't judge the new board by the opening fire
works. The test will come during the next few
months, when the city will see whether the board
continues political squabble or settles its politi
cal differences and gets down to effective work for
the city. ~> -

CHIEFS TO SEE WILSON
Railway Brotherhood Leaves to
Confer With President.
Arrange to Discuss Wage Demands at
the White House on Monday,
November 26.

Washington, Nov. 15-Arrange-
ments have been made for the chiefs
Of the four railway brotherhoods to
see President Wilson on Monday, No
vember 26, in connection with the
workers proposals for wage increases
for conductors and brakemen on all
railroads Of the country.
Chairman Chambers Of the federal
bo2El ef Jllei liati ION al ee1Qi liatjon re-
fiifAaft from Gies i'siEdi Wiia1 AZ elJiis
ferrcd with the brotherhood chiefs re-
garding the wage increases demanded
by the men,
The new demands, the railway man
agements say, will amount to $109,000,-
900 year and are more serious than
the eight-hour demand Of year ago,
which threatened to tie up the coun-
try's railway systems.
The White House conference will
consider the arbitration feature Of an
agreement proposed in Cleveland by
Judge Chambers It Is understood that
the labor executives are unwilling to
commit their organizations uncondi-
tionally to arbitration, but an adjust
ment Is hoped for which will at least
for the duration Of the war prevent
any interruption of railroad trans
portation.
A letter from President Wilson to
Judge Chambers, made public, said:
'The last thing should wish to con-
template would be the possibility Of
being obliged to take any unusual
measures to operate the railways, and
have so much confidence that the
men you are dealing with will appre-
ciate the patriotic motives underlying
your efforts that I shall look forward
with assurance to your success"
