A big surprise In Camden politics came
to light In the filing of the various nomi
nation papers for county oSces. In this
connection the politics of John J. Tischenor.
owner of the Camden Times, caused the
most comment today among Camden poli
ticians. Last year Tischenor ran for the Assembly
oa the Democratic ticket. He was de
feated and subsequently announced through
an editorial in h s paper that ha would be
allied with the Republican party. Despite
this assertion, he has again entered the
race as a candidate for Assemblyman on
the Democratic ticket.
The nomination for county offices filed

The Locomotive Engineers, Firemen, Train Conductors and Brakemen employed
on practically all the railroads in the United States, and acting in concert through
taw respective Brotherhoods, have sent out an order for a general strike to begin
uu ,Iondar' September 4, 1916. This action is to support their demand for an
eight-hour day (with present ten-hour pay) and for time and a half overtime after
eight hours.
As you all know, it is quite impossible to-so arrange the trains that they can
a ways complete their trip inside of eight hours, even on the short divisions. This is
also well understood by the men who have voted to strike, and their demands, if
granted, would m effect mean nothing more or less than giving them a very large
increase in wages. ' 6
The men who operate the trains and engines ought to be well paid, and, in
fact, they are well paid. To grant their demands would cost the Baltimore and Ohio
Company alone about $4,000,000 per annum, a sum more than double the average
yearly surplus or margin of safety the Company has earned, after payment of divi
dends, during the past five years.
The men involved in this movement number less than one-fifth of all the employes
of the Baltimore and Ohio Company, and they now receive more than one-fourth of
all the wages paid by that Company. If their present demands should be granted it
would mean an increase to them of about 30 per cent, as nearly as we can, estimate,
and then one-fifth of our employes would receive more than one-third of the entire
wages paid all employes of the Company.
While I believe that their demands are unfair and without justification and ought
not to be granted, nevertheless the Baltimore and Ohio Company, in common with
the other Railroad Companies, has offered to submit the woie conZ8y o
arbitration, and has agreed to accept the award, whatever it may becertainlv no
fairer proposition could be made. The men have refused, however; to submit their
demands to arbitration and threaten to strike at once and to do all they can in that
manner to prevent the Company from carrying on its business unless thelFdemands
are granted, regardless of the effect of such action upon their fellow employed and
upon the general public. '" anu
It has been my earnest desire to make the Baltimore and Ohio Comnanv an '
efficient public servant, and also a good employer-a good company to woTfor
Many of the men who have voted to support the strike and who have been ordered
to leave the service m such a manner as to cause the Company the greates" nossible
