great work that he has so well begun

Kleventh-Ilour Stories.
.Mr. \V. F. Stevenson, candidate for
congress, states that the situation is
well expressed by the following, which
is found in the Columbia correspon
dence of the Charlotte Observer:
"A fori flic light is being made on
< 'ongresfunen P. E. Finley in the fifth
district l.y YV. F. Stevenson of Ches
terlield County. Mr. Stevenson came
within a few voles two years ago of
'defeating Mr. Finley and reports from
the fifth indicate that lie will lie suc
cc-xful tl.is time."
He Is now only apprehensive of e
le?enth-hour stories and rumors of
combines. He asks Ids friends not to
credit any statements that may be cir
culated. as 'he has made no combines,
promised no <. dices or einohmiejits : all
issues have been openly fought on the
sturrp and charges made at the last
minute should be disregarded. 1S-1P

FOR PEACEFUL SETTLEMENT
(y>?mbvrs of United States Ch*mbir of
Commoicc Vote Overwhelmingly In
Favor of Lotting Interstate Commerce
Commicsion Adjust Controversy.
Washington. ? in order io ascertain
the position of tho business men of
tho no t ton <Mi the controversy hot ween
the railroads of the country and the 1
unions of train service employes, which
was precipitated hy the demand ?? f the
latter for an Increase in wanes that
would amount to $1 00,000. 0t)0 a year,
the failed States Choml?or of Com
merce recently submitted the mat
ter to a vote of all Its members. They
were asked to express their opinion as
to whether the dispute should he^al
lowed to take Its course with the pos
sibility of a ureal strike thai would
tie up all the transportation lines
throughout the country and paralyze
all business, or whether they would
fa'vnp the adoption to a Joint resolu
tion by the two branches of congress
directing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to investigate and pass
upon the matter.
The vote received was a very large
one and represented business organ
izations in every part of t fie - coun
try. The result was overwhelmingly
In favor of placing the matter in the
hands of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 084% votes being cast in
favor of this course and' only 28^4
against it. The result showed clearly
that the business interests of the
country are unalterably against per
mitting the transportation lines to bo
tied up by a national railroad strike
that would paralyze the commerce of
tlio country and inflict enormous losses
on all classes of citizens.
Chairman Wheeler of the Compi It
tee In charge of the matter for
the Chamber of Commerce appear
ed before the representatives of the
railroads and their employes at their
conference In New York In June. He
announced the result of tho Com
mittee's Inquiry among the business
men of the country and urged both
parties to tho dispute to get together
and adopt the course suggested. As a
result the committee of managers rep
resenting the railroads submitted a
proposal that the whole subject be
placed before the Interstate Commerce
Commission as requested by the repre
sentatives of the business interests.
As an alternative they offered to sub
mit the demands to arbitration under
the federal law. Roth offers were
refused by the union leaders, who an
nounced that they would go back to
their unions and get authority to de
clare a strike. This they have since
been doing.
Meanwhile a resolution has been In
troduced In Congress directing the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
make an Investigation of railroad
wages. This resolution is now await
ing action. It is believed here that If
nothing further Is done by Copgress or
by the parties to tho wage dispute to
bring about a peaceful settlement the
business Interests of the, country,
through the United States Chamber
of Commerce, or some other organiza
tion, will appeal to the Government
to take some direct and decisive action
to prevent the destruction of national
prosperity by a strike on all the rail
road linos.
DEMANDS OF R. R. TRAINMEN.
Wage Increase of $100,000,000 a Year
Would Have to Be Borne by Publio.
? Tho train service employes of nil
railroad lines In the Unitcd'Btates have
united In a demand for a new basis of
pay for all men engaged In operating
trains, except those in passenger serv
ice. At the present time they are paid
on tho basis of ten honrs of time or
100 miles of distance, whichever gives
them the higher pay; and every man
receives a full day's pay. no matter
how short a time he works.
The trainmen now demand that, In
all but passenger service. (1) tin; pres
ent ten houra pay shall be given for
eight hours, or less, with a guarantee
of a full day's pay, no matter hcrr lit
tle service Is performed; (2) overtime
to begin after eight hours. Instead of
after ten hours, and to be paid for at
one and one-half times the hourly rate.
These demands would increase the
hourly rate of pay 25 per cent, and tho
overtime rate 8~Vj per cent
They .Also insist that all special extra
pay provisions in the 10-hour schedules
shall bo Included In the proposed
8-hour schedule.
These speeinl rules frequently g!v<?
double pay for tho same service, and
enable the employes to c*nrn two and
three days' pay in a single day of
ordinary working hours.
As the increase for all the lines is es
timated to amount, to $100,000,000 a
year the railroads say that they cannot
pay it unless they are allowed to In
crease freight and passenger rates.
The average wages of the men en
gaged in train service are already very
much higher than those of other em
ployees and they receive 28 per cent of
the total payroll although constituting
only 18 per cent of the whole number
of railroad Workers.
