BY MILDRED MORRIS

rsTAFF CORRESPONDENT J. N. SERElcEl
DENVER, Juno 15,-The railroad
unions are lining up for q test Of
strength in the convention OF the
American Federation OF Labor.
Victorious over Samuel Gompers

to wrest control OF the federation
They will line up sohdly behind

organization allowed to vote. It Is
claimed they win have sufficient
strength to dominate the policies OF
the federation and force 4 reorganiza-

A rupture in the ranks OF the fed-

Withdrawal Of the United Brother

which was suspended last Saturday
from the building trades department,
IS feared.
Tho Maintenance of Way Union. tne
second largest Of the railway labor
organizations. was suspended nearly
two years ago for refusal to carry out
the instructions OF the executive
council in jurisdictional dispute
with the carpenters. It was charged
at last years convention they were
suspended TO prevent the railroad
unions from controlling the largest
vote in the federation.
II their efforts TO reinstate the

LOUD Wall
MADE OVER
R. R. TICKETS

Calumet region people have been anx-
iously waiting for some word from the
railroad companies which would indi-
cate that the recent order restricting
tho use OF 25-ride Communication ticket
books had been revoked. No such luck
The railroads are going right ahead
and apparently are giving tho matter
no further thought
Station agents have received their
Instructions TO the effect that the ride
books viii be good for only sixty days
instead or ninety days and that they
may be used only by the person to
which they arc ISSUED.
In Hammond a loud wall has gone UP
from the comruting public which has
gradually taken shape of a demand that
civic organizations OF Hammond get
busy and see If the railroads cannot be
talked out Of making the change. II
means that If a family goes into the
city. they must all have separate tic
tet books or pay the regular fare of
50 cents. While the sixty day limita-
tion viii probably not bother persons
who travel regularly to and from the
city, the people who have been using
the tickets only occasionally could not
hope to use a book in two months.
Whole families ofttn found 1t difficult
to use an entire book under the ninety
day term. Here where the stores
which handled these books for the con
OF the public were handy.
When the new rule becomes effective
July I. II Will be impossible 10 get
books from the stores as they are TO
be sold only at the stations and must
be signed for by the purchaser
Station agents believe that the ninety
day tickets which have not been used
up on July l Will be redeemed by the
railroads.
Tho matter is TO be brought before
he Hammond Chamber OF Commerce
at the luncheon today and It IS posi-
BILE that some action may be taken
which viii bring TO the attention OF
the railroads the hardship which the
ruling win work on people OF tho Calu-
met region.
