RAIL MEN PROTEST
ANNULLING OF THRU TRAINS is
LIKELY TO CAUSE HARDSHIPS.
Old Employees of d. & r. G. System
Hold Meeting at Green River to
Consider the Future Situation

An order issued a few days ago
taking off several thru trains from
Chicago to the Pacific coast and max
ing a new distribution of traffic, is
going to put some of the railroad oper-
ating employees up against serious
situation. A meeting was held at
Green River. Utah, a junction point
of the Denver & Rio Grande system,
to consider the matter. 1t was at
tended by representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
Order of Railway Conductors, Broth
erhood of Locomotive Engineers,
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen and the Order of
Railway photographers.
AS n result Of this meeting circu-
lar letter has been sent TO all rail-
road lodges of the ID. & r. G. system,
asking that a conference Of general
chairmen be called at once TO consider
the matter.
The circular letter says: This sud
den order Of the railroad director of
Western railroads to deprive the ID. q
X. G.. Of all thru traffic viii cause suf-
ferlng among hundreds Of old-time
employees in the operating department,
men who have given their youth to the
road and in serving the public Our
age will bar US from employment on
other lines. Many Of us have homes
and family ties it will be hard To
break away from. We do not believe
such action is in conformity with Di-
rector General McAdoo's speech in Ell
Paso. when he said railroad men were
not to be kicked about thru the ma
tional railway system. IL now looks
as tho we are not only 10 be kicked
about. but are to lose our homes. the
association Of our families and friends,
after years of faithful service to the
public and the government"

convention in Scranton next August.
There were three candidates for the

separated the high and low man. 1t

but the second figures were same as
the first.
Clark B. Hicks of the News chapel
was chosen president of No. 40 to sue
coed F. l.. Pferdesteller, with no op-
position. Prefdesteller has served two
terms in the Office. There were no
contests of interest in the local cleo

Voting for l. T. U. offices in Denver
gave the anti-administration ticket a
shade the best of it, tho the balloting
was fairly evenly divided.

BENNETT TURNS HIS
GUNS UPON KOENIG
VIII Fight in Primaries for
Removal Of Manhattan Re-
publican Committeeman.

William NJ. Bennett. formerly State
Senator, announced last night that a
primary fight will be made in the Sixth
Assembly district to defeat Samuel s.
koenig and GUST him as Republican
county chairman. He said that the
voters In Koenig's district are disguised
with his methods, He also charged that
koenig has been kept in the organiza-
tion at the request of the "moneybund"
and rewarded by Gov. Whitman by be-
ing made counsel of the State Banking
Department. In announcing that a fight
VIII be made against Koenig. Mr.. Benz
nett said In part:
The primary laws should be so
amended as to provide that the leader
shall be elected by a direct vote. II
there were such law now Koenig
could not by any possibility be reelected
district or county leader.
"As the law now stands In order to
defeat koenig we are required to put
up fwenty-three separate tickets for
county committeeman in the twenty
three election districts In Koenigs AS
sembly district, and the county commit
teemen elect the district leader.
The sentiment against koenig in his
own district is so strong that we ex-
pect 10 carry most of the twenty-three
election districts and elect an anti
koenig leader there"
Mr.. Bennett referred to the election of
last year and raked over the primary
frauds of that time. He recalled that
Tammany Pail cast out District Leader
Patrick Diver because of frauds com
mitted in his district twenty years ago.
THE Republican organization, how
ever" said Mr.. Bennett, ''at the behest
OF the moneybund. has kept Koenig. and
Gov. Whitman has rewarded him. lie
makes his position as county chairman
a feeder for his law practice. AS coun
sci to the State Banking Department he
Is on the Whitman payroll-he himself
is a big man.
But the county organization has be-
come a house of cards. a mere rotten
shell. ready to crumble at the least op-

vealcd that the British air forces are
preparing to bomb Berlin. He said
1T Is within the realm of certainty
that We can bomb Berlin in the spring.
II not In the fall, with airplanes we are
building. as we have already bombed
Cologne and the Rhine cities. but we
have not the numbers for really big

and we have about reached the limit of
capacity for engine production.
I'VE have built up big airplane pro-
gramme to use the Liberty motor and
bomb Germany. but America cannot now
spare these motors, and so I fear that
cur airplanes will be wasted and the
real offensive from the air will be seri'
ously delayed.

lin and back. which Is more than 500

yesterday:

defeated at the primary election.
Il do not know that Elihu Root has
made any public statement in support OF
my candidacy, although Mr. Brown and
Mr.. barnes have. | should be delighted,
however. If Eihu Root would make a
public statement that he considers me
better fitted for the Republican nomi-
nation for the Governorship than Gov.

Your assault upon Mr.. Roots pa

lowed a two hour conference between the

modification of the nations appeal, which
the Lake Carriers Association yesterday
had agreed to sign II changed to apply

der asserted such modification would eX-
empt the Lake ship owners and insisted

owners and their association sign the
appeal was met by Mr. Hurley sending
% William Livingstone. president OF the
association. the following telegram:
United States Shipping Board hereby
directs the members of the Lake Car
riers Association and the Lake Carriers
Association as an association to sign
the nations appeal for men to man its

without any changes"
The other complaint OF the men that
the registration of seamen at the asso-
cations shipping offices or assembly
rooms permitted the ship owners to dis
eliminate against the men and compel
them to join the associations welfare
plan was met by Mr.. Hurley asking
that ire practice be suspended pending
further negotiations.
