ers were denied by Judge Alschuler.
Among them were:
Denied basic eight-hour day for
private policemen and watchmen. \
Denied demand of Kansas City
Transfers and chautfeurs for a basic
eight-hour day.
Denied demand to abolish piece
work in the car shops.
The men won their demand for
the maximum rate of pay where hog
killing and cutting gangs are COM
bined for periods where there is not
sufficient work to keep both gangs
engaged as separate units.
Referee Gives Opinion.
In commenting on the demands OF
the men, Judge Alschuler said:
while I believe that conditions
are such that the employees gener-
ally, and some of them more partic-
ularly, are entitled to some further
consideration, it seems to me that
the demands as presented are in the
main so excessive that an arbitrator
would not be justified in granting
them.
"The great difficulty experienced
even under most favorable circum-
stances in passing upon wages and
working conditions is much multi
piled under existing public condi-
tons, where extremes are so much
the rule. Extremes in public views
and on economic questions, ex-
tremes in profits and prices, ex-
tremes in wealth and in the want of
it, extremes in wages and working
conditions-in some instances the
so-called economic power of labor
succeeding under seeming impend-
ing penalty of great public prevation
in enforcing wages and conditions
apparently beyond reason and in
other instances the so-called eco
nomic power of capital succeeding
in imposing or retaining working
conditions under which work should
not be required to be done, and
wages inadequate in these times for
even their subsistence. With what
great benefit to themselves and to
all might those twin giants, capital
and labor, make practical applica-
ton of the aptly expressed Shakes
pearian truth: k..

strength, but it is tyrannous to use

Description Of the
/. Yeggmen Only Clew

(COntlnue0 from rage Unes)
have been notified to watch all in
coming trains from Omaha for the
three yeggmen.
Detectives working on the case
say the robbery was committed by
outside talent" In the evidence
that the yeggmen used successful
tactics in drilling the holes about
the combination Of the safes and in
serting copper decorating caps filled
with nitro-glycerine, gun cotton and
soap, police lay the robbery to pro-
fessional crooks frequenting the
country at large.
From descriptions of the men as
given by Henry Feaber and Henry
Leaders, night watchmen at Hay
den Bros, police believe the yegg-
men are the same men who three
months ago held up and robbed the
Citizens State bank at Ralston of
$4,000. Not a clue as to the iden-
tity of the robbers was left by them.

In Fort Wayne, Sunday

DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 27.-Word re-

effect that Dayton will be represented

local franchise. First there was Joe

be they will be represented at the FIT.

the hunt is Columbus man. who has
