Chicago, Aug. 2S.-By Associated Press)-Railway maintenance of way employees comprising approximately 100000 track workers and crossing fiagmen, whose threatened strike with the shop crafts last month was held in abeyance pending new wage hear ings, placed their demands for in creased pay before the United States railroad labor board here today. Of the POP class one railroads, 105 were parties to the dispute.
 The maintenance men based their claims for higher wages on the in creased cost of living. E. F. Grable, president of the trackmen. said the 23 to 35 cents an hour scale provided by the rail boards July decision, was then living wage"
 Mir. Grable in entering the hearing today, was armed with a strike vote which his organization approved as the shopmen walked off their jobs He said the case was the most i'm portant before the board since it's creation.
 The board must face and I think, accept he declared, the principle of the living wage if it Is to follow out the intent of the law and if its decis- ions are to be equitable and just and meet the human needs of the railway workers" Wages on some roads, he said, had been forced down as low as l7h cents an hour. Employees re- ceiving the pay were compelled to work 12 hours a day to eke out a bare existence, he added.

 Later word came that the launch was adrift on Long Island Sound all night and was lowed into Stratford this afternoon by the keeper of Strat- ford light.

the republicans in this city, and Mir Quigley, who have rot been any too friendly politically, is concerned, the latter has the following to say, over his own signature in an open letter:
 During the past week several items have appeared in the news papers stating that I was in control of the delegation to the Republican State Convention and that I, in fact, had assumed control of the republi- can party in New Britain.
 Such Is not the case. I do not control the delegation, neither have I presumed to dictate the policy of the republican party in New Britain.
 T am opposed to the election of J. Henry Roraback, as chairman of the State Central Committee, and hope the majority of the New Britain del- egation to the State Convention will insist upon knowing MT. Klett's po- sition before he Is again elected as State Central Committeeman from this district. I believe the delegates have right to know Mir Klett's po- sition.
 T am merely voicing the wishes of several hundred New Britain repub- licans."

MAY BRING IN COAL FROM GREAT BRITAIN Local Commerce Chamber Considering Move to
 Aid Public

The New Britain Chamber of Con- merce in an effort to avert the threatened coal shortage, may possi bly, undertake to bring to New Britain several thousand tons of hard coal from Great Britain this winter. The matter of the shortage came up for discussion this noon at the regular weekly meeting of the directors and the possibility of chartering British ships to bring British coal to the Connecticut coast from where it would be transhipped to New Britain was talked over, with the result that there will be further investigation in to the cost of coal abroad, the char tering of vessels for its transportation and other matters attendant upon bringing the greatest possible amount of relief to the public of this city Should the plan prove feasible it will be undertaken unless there is a de- cided improvement in the situation in this country.
 c. B. Boone, of Tampa, was visit or at the luncheon this evening, with his brother-in-law, L. P. Slade.
 w. C. Hungerford, chairman of the committee on the Clayton crossing, reported upon the recent inspection of the danger spot by the committee, Mayor Paonessa and railroad officials. He explained that temporary relief, effected by the removal of the Mur- ray Brick company buildings, could not be obtained, owing to the unwill- ingpess of the owners to have the torn down. It was brought out that there would be hearing be- fore the public utilities commission early in September at which time it probably could be ascertained when the road expected to comply with the order of the commission and change the crossing. Until that hearing fur ther action is held in abeyance.
 It was reported that s130 had been raised by subscription to pay for the dinner given to the fire chiefs of the state by the Chamber of Commerce during the recent convention. There will be more necessary. There will be no meeting of the directors next Monday, Labor Day, but probably will be special meeting later in the week.

.BULLEN PROTESTS
 TROLLEY CHANGES
Appeals to Mayor Paonessa Regarding Where Passen-
 gers Enter and Leave

w. w. Bullen called on Mayor A. M, Paonessa this morning to register protest against the new plan of un- loading passengers from the trolley cars near the center of the city. MT. Bullen's chief complaint was the plan whereby passengers on the Stanley street line who desire to transfer to the Plainville line are forced to leave the cars in front of the Commercial Trust company on Main street, and then walk to point on West Main street near Washington street.
 MT. Bullen also said that under the new plan, passengers coming into are forced to alight near Washington street, or else remain on the car until it reaches the triangle. This is an inconvenience to those who want to go to a point north of the park, the complainant said. in criticizing the rev rule of the company. which de- crees that no more passengers will be let off in front of City hall.
 Tn lodging his protest, MT Bullen said he was voicing the opinion of hundreds of other local people affect ed He also opposed the parking of automobiles on the north side of West Main street, between City hall and Washington street while the pres ent plan of unloading of passengers on the West Main street line is in effect
 Some criticism was heard today of the plan of having cars change their route in front of the Porter x Dyson company on Main street, one of the arguments being that in the case of fire there was likely to be a con- fusion. a possible accident, and probable delay necessitated for the fremen.
 Many residents Of Belvidere, who are furnished with transportation to the city by the Stanley street trolley lint this morning complained of the rule which forbids the trolley cars from stopping in front of the Lyceum theater entrance. There are several young women in that section of the city employed at the Stanley Works, and until today it had been possible for them to make connections with a West Main street trolley because of the fact that it stopped at the he ater entrance.
 AS 1t is at the present time the motorman on the Stanley street car cannot stop the trolley afer 1t has left the National bank corner until he reaches the south side of Central park. Because of this the passengers cannot make connection with the West Main street cars and 1t is nec- essary for them to wait Is minutes for another car.

 Reserved for Those Who Have
 Died in the Cause of the Irish
 Free State.
 Dublin. Aug. 2S (By Associated Press s)-Michael Collins was laid at rest today In Glasnevin, after a dem onstration of national grief such as seldom has been seen in the long cen- turies of Ireland's troubled history.
 Arthur Griffith was buried with all the honor due a great leader; Collins went to the grave amid the tears of a ration that worshipped him personally as gallant young patriot in whom were combined all those traits which Irishmen hold dear.
 Good humor, the power of oratory and laughing disregard for death all were his and while immense throngs filled the great cathedral and lined the route to Glasnevin, congre- gations gathered in every city, town and hamlet throughout the land to mourn his passing.
 Is Military Funeral.
 It was military funeral, Fellow officers last night had borne the body into the cathedral. The solemn re- quiem high mass was celebrated be- fore multitude which overflowed the edifice into the streets, and in- cluded Richard Mulcahy the new chieftain, to whom all Ireland now looks; General ODuffy. new chief of staff, and General McKeon, the blacksmith of Ballinalee," whose dash and fire have awakened enthusiasm akin to that won by Collins himself
 Fiancee Is Present.
 Sister Mary Celestine came from her convent in England to pray for the baby brother" Besides her knelt Sean Collins, the generals brother. But 1t was upon the trem- bling youngs woman nearby that the eyes of all fell most pityingly-Kitty Kiernan, Collins betrothed.
 On the gospel side of the nave sat the members of the cabinet the Dali Eireann, civil servants and members of the provisional corporations. On the epistle side were the English representatives and members of the consular corps, including the Ameri- can consul; the lord mayor of Dublin, distinguished members of universities and learned societies and representa- tives of various public bodies
 Thousands Line Streets.
 Outside. lining the miles os Dublin streets through which the funeral cortege later passed, thousands took part spiritually in the solemn mass of requiem.
 Archbishop Byrne, head of the Dublin diocese, was the celebrant and, just as they had chanted for Grif- filth, Dublin's renowned choir of priests sang without organ accom- paniment.
 Then. after dissolution, the body was borne from the church and placed in the gun carriage, and as 1t passed along the route to Glasnevin many knelt In homage. The crowds packed every street along the way; they filled every window
