Held Up by Agreement
Yet to Be Made with
Maine Central Rail-
road
Hitch of Some Kind in Negotia-
tions With Railroad That
Will Pass Over Combination
Structure - New York and
Pittsburgh Concern Lowest
Bidders - Director Decides
on Ridge Route

The signing of the contracts to
build the sub-structure and SUPER
structure of the bridge across the
Kennebec River between Bath and
Woolwich will be delayed for a short
time, it was announced last night.
This delay is on account Of the fail
ure of the execution of the contract
with the Maine Central Railroad Com
pany. whose trains will pass over the
proposed combination highway and
railroad bridge.
The contracts will doubtless be
awarded to the lowest bidders, the
Foundation Company of New York for
the sub-structure, with a bid of $685.
$40, and the McClintic- Marshal Com
pany of Pittsburgh for the super
structure with bid of 81, 4S0, 900. The
appropriation is 100000. so 1t will
be seen that the two bids are within
the appropriation.
The directors of the Kennebec bridge
after conference yesterday decided
on the Ridge route, so called, in the
town of Woolwich, instead Of the
River route.

RAILROAD MEN
D TOSEEKPAY
/. BOOST
Conductors and Trainmen
/. Seek Restoration Of
- =. 1920 Scale. s

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-R)-
Restoration of the peak wage scale
Of 1920 for conductors and trainmen
Of all the railroads in the United
States is sought by union leaders.
Local unions have been instructed
10 file schedules of wage increases
next Monday and to request an answer
in writing by March 2. In the event
that any company seeks to present
modified proposals, local unions are
instructed to 60 into conference and
TO submit the final proposition to
headquarters.
Railroad men here have expressed
the opinion that the wage request
would increase the total annual ex'
penses Of the country's railroads by
$500, 100000.
Orders for the submission OF
schedules have been issued by W. G..
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, and Il. Il. Shop
pard, president Of the Order Of Rail
way Conductors.
The new wages would mean an in
crease of 81 to $3.50 day over the
prevailing rate for conductors, bag
gagemen, flagmen and brakemen. Con
ductors receiving about $3.50 day
and $500 a month would receive $1.7I
a day and $232.J0 a month.
Corresponding increases would b.
asked for assistant conductors, ant
yard service employees. In many case
the demands would be equal to 81
day.

Some refer to Chicago as the crime
capital OF the world. The murders, rob-
berries and other crimes are used as argu-
ments for notification OF the Eighteenth
Amendment. The people of the country
are called upon to follow the lead OF Chi
cago in the war against prohibition. They
are called upon to be friends of the liquor
traffic. The first thing for them to do
according to the Chicago plan, is to turn
their backs on God, but keep on a cloak
of religion They are to play the part of
the hypocrite in the temple and to use
religion as Trojan horse to deliver
America to the liquor traffic.
$500 Churches in Chicago
The American people will not do it.
They know that the liquor traffic is an
enemy to its friends. They will stand
back of the people in Chicago who are
working to save Chicago.
Chicago has 500 churches. They can
redeem Chicago, but to do SO they must
get the people back to God.

FEARLESS MEN FOR
PIJLPITS ARE NEEDED

To the Editor.
Dear Sir: Great bodies move slowly,
and that is why the Catholic Church has
not declared herself on the subject of
prohibition, though she has spoken against
the saloon and has refused the gin-mll
keeper who violates the civil law absolu-
ton, and denies him the Sacraments of
his church.
The church, itself, since her foundation,
has always been on the right side of every
moral question, but her preachers often
have failed. We need great leaders, not
political priests in our church like those
who are bringing in the Klan issue and
trying to elect saloon politicians to office
and backing up a man like Al Smith, who
is responsible the return of the speak
easies and the overthrow of the state pro-
hibition enforcement law.
We need fearless men in our pu1pits
who will denounce the liquor traffic, as
the Plenary Council of Baltimore did, and
uphold the hands of the government in
trying to bring about real total absti-
nence through prohibition.
1t is public scandal and a source of
great disedifcation for the Holy Name
Society to go to Communion in a body
and then repair to a hotel for breakfast
and listen to a TRADE against this great
law of our country which has been of in
estimable benefit to Irish Catholics When
we consider that drink is the cause of
oaths, blasphemy and abuse of God and
His creatures, how can they as Catholics
fail to help bring about the total abolition
of liquors. it can only be brought about
through prohibition?
Yours truly,
(Signed) Anna Marriott Kane.
