Brief Character Sketch
Of William Cabell Bruce

Writing for The Evening Sun,
Henry n. Hyde gives short but very
interesting character sketch OF Will
liam Cabell Bruce, candidate for the
Democratic senatorial nomination
from Maryland Ii follows. in part:
Born the year before the Civil War
began in a county once the home of
Patrick Henry and John Randolph of
Roanoke, Mr.. Bruce grew up in an
atmosphere full OF the traditions of
public service. After leaving college
ne spent the year OF 1S79-So as stu
dent in the school OF law at the Uni
yersity Of Virginia. II was the class
OF which Woodrow Wilson was a mem
Der.
"'Cabell Bruce was early distin-
guished,' said one of his old asso-
ciates yesterday both as a debater
and as writer During the year he
spent at the University of Virginia
he and Woodrow Wilson were the two
leading competitors in a prize essay
competition, and also one for the best
iebater in the class. Bruce won them
both.
Mr. Bruce came to Baltimore AZ
years ago and has lived here ever
since. The first two years he spent
in completing his studies at the Mary
land University Law School. In 1898
he was elected to the State Senate
II is recalled that at the time he was
something of an independent in poll
ties and deadlock was threatened at
Annapolis, which was finally averted
by his election as President of the
Senate
Meanwhile he had become estab-
lished in the practice of law as part
ner in the firm OF Fisher. Bruce &
Fisher. That practice he gave up on
mis- appointment in 1903 as City Solicit
tor of Baltimore. In that capacity he
acted as a member of the Board OF
Estimates and of Awards, and during
his five years of continuous service
under two Mayors, he carried part
Of the heavy burden of work which
fell on city ojcials Immediately after
the great fire.
Money, his friends say, has never
been a controlling factor in his life
Evening capital. [volume] (Annapolis, Md.) 1922-1981, 1922-08-22

He has been content with a modest
competence and has always held him
self ready to answer any call for pub
lie service
In the busy days of the old Reform
League he was active in its work. He
is still proud of the part he played
in pushing the passage of the reform
ed primary and election laws. the
Corrupt Practices act. and the Civil
Service law, covering appointments to
political Office
The great reforms for which We
fought in those days said Mr.. Bruce
yesterday, have all been accomplish
ed. With some of the more modern
and radical suggestions / have not
been in sympathy. l dropped out OF
the Reform League some years ago
but | am still a member of the Civil
Service Reform Association.
Married in 1887 to the daughter OF
his old law partner. Judge Fisher
Mr.. Bruce has for many years main
tanned a country home at Ruxton
One of his sons. David. is his present
law partner. The other is presi-
dent of a local banking house.
1T was quite without any effort OF
even knowledge on his part that Mr.
Bruce was appointed in 1910 general
counsel of the newly created Public
Service Commission of Maryland. He
got his first hint of that honor when
one morning he walked down to the
breakfast table at Ruxton and found
in The Sun a notice of the appoint
ment.
1T was only the other day that he
resigned as general counsel in order
that he might be more free to make
his present canvass for the Senate
''In conversation Mr. Bruce is mel,
low and scholarly. He quotes Shakes
peare and tells many clever anec,
dote. He has spent half his active
life in public Office. He inherited a
fondness for that service, and hi.
training as writer and speaker have
developed it. Now. at the age of 62
he looks forward with apparently
complete confidence to selection as
the Democratic candidate for the
United States Senate"

Also, by providing the money
from outside sources, it will leave

advantage of an especially low

BALTIMORE AND OHIO
AND BROTHERHOODS
AGREE ON WAGE SCALE
CBy The Associated Press.)

BALTIMORE, MD. Aug. 22.-The
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and the
executive officers of the brotherhoods
Of railroad and steamship clerks,
freight handlers, express and station
employees on that system, have
agreed to an increase of wages to
the employees represented by that or
ganization, it was announced today by
j. David Cordle, general secretary of
the brotherhoods for the B. & o. sys-
tenn.
This increase becomes effective as
of August Is. 1922, and is applied over
the decision of the United States
Railroad Labor Board cutting the
wages of those brotherhoods three and
four cents hour. The agreement,
Mr.. Cordle said, restores a portion of
that decrease. The exact figures were
not obtainable.
The practice of Saturday relief, va
cation and sick leave with pay also
was agreed to in that the practice
that has been in effect in the past
will be continued in the future.
During the negotitions which ex-
tended over period of several weeks.
several other questions regarding the
interest of these brotherhoods came
up for consideration.
The best of feeling marked the ne
gotiations it was said and the COM
pany management complimented the
representatives of the brotherhoods on
their fairness.

President Is Hopeful

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. a.
President Harding. although hopeful
of success for the New York rail
strike settlement conference, was said
at the White House today to be un-
willing to take any further steps than
those stated in his recent address to
Congress.
The declaration to Congress that
the laws would be enforced and the
right of workers to enter railroad
service guaranteed will remain as the
final government declaration in the
strike situation, it was said.
