[RAILROADMEN PUT
IN THEIR CLAIMS
Eminent Attorneys Speak in Oppo
sition to Repeal of the Full
Crew Act of 1911
Organized railroad men presented
their objections to the bill to repeal
the full crew act of 1911 and to give
the Public Service Commission au
thority to determine the number of
men needed for trains before the
House committee on railroads all yes
terday afternoon. The hearing wits
the largest in the State Capitol this
session. The men crowded the hall of
the House to the doors, many people
being compelled to sit on the desks of
members, while the overflow thronged
the corridors.
A week before the railroads argued
in favor of the repealer and yesterday
ex-Attorney General .lolin C. Bell, who
defended the act in the courts; James
Scarlet, special counsel for the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen; William
G. Ree. president of the Brotherhood,
and others made answer. The com
mittee took no action, but Chairman
Henry 1. Wilson announced that it
would hear the sponsor for the bill.
Representative K. J. Baldwin, of Dela
ware. within a few days and then con
sider the measure.
The arguments of Messrs. Bell and
Scarlet were that the lull crew law
j was in the interests of humanity, an
exercise of the police power of the
Commonwealth to protect the travel
! ing public and the working trainmen.
Mr. Scarlet in his summing up said
that the act represented the principle
of safety first, while Mr. Bell asserted
that it was legislation akin to the pro
j posed workmen's compensation acts.
I Mr. Ree appeared as representative of
j organizations other than his own, say
j ing they had mad"' common cause,
i while Alexander P. Moore, of Pitts
i burgh, spoke as a newspaper pub
lisher, and S. 1,. Johns, of Hanover,
from the standpoint of a traveling
j man who had spent much time on the
i railroads and who declared that brake
men were watchmen whose duties
j were of the highest importance to the
public.
In summing up Mr. Scarlet said that
the law should be retained for safetv
j and that a limit should be placed upon
the size of trains, favoring fifty or
i rlxty its a maximum. He declared
; that it would be of more benefit to the
! public to have the two million dollars
l spent for wages of the "extra man"
go into circulation through purchases
of food and clothing than for railroad
! supplies and asserted that supervision
| of manning of trains by the Public
j Service Commission would not be ad
; vantageous. The commission, he said,
: does not contain a railroad expert and
its action would be retarded by the
! pressure of its business now and de-
Ityed by appeals which the railroads
i would be certain to take. Mr. Scarlet
! assailed the railroads and said that
| they would try to repeal the public
i service company law if they repealed
j the full crew bill.
A remonstrance against the repeal
i of the law signed by 68,000 persons
j was presented at the conclusion of the
j hearing.

LLECTION BILLS
GIVEN Ml AIRING
Independents and Senator Mc-
Nichol Have Some Interesting
Interchanges on Them
The Senate elections committee.
heard last night rei>resentativuu of the !
Committee of Seventy of Philadelphia
state their views in opposition to sev- j
eral of the bills introduced in the Sen- i
ale by Senator McNichol. The prin- j
eipal objection of the independents ]
was to the bills which abolish noini- |
nations by nomination papers after
primary elections, prevent withdrawal j
of candidates after primaries, provld- j
lng for the organization of independ- |
«nt parties before primaries and in- ;
creasing the percentage of vote cast j
by which parties can get on the ballot, :
all of which combine, the independ- i
ents declare, to prevent fusion against l
the old parties.
Thomas Kaebura White, for the Com- j
mittee of Seventy, said the bills place :
a very heavy burden upon independent I
voters and virtually makes it lmpos- 1
slble for independents to form parties. '
Senator SlcNichol wanted 'o know 1
why eight or ten men should have the
right to set up a new party after the
voters at the primary had decided who
they wanted as candidates.
Mr. White replied that independents
should have the right to organize
where they are dissatisfied with candi
dates named by any party at a pri
mary.
"If primary elections at which all |
the people are invited to come out and I
vote are nullified by disgruntled poli
ticians setting up new candidates,
against the expressed will of the
people who voted at primaries, then
let us go back to the old convention ;
system," declared Mr. McNichol.
Mr. AVhite insisted that in municipal j
affairs the spirit of nonpartisanship
should not be destroyed and he de
clared the bills under consideration
did destroy that spirit.
Senator McNichol suggested that if
the independents feared the Repub
licans were going to put up unsatis- j
factory candidates they should organ
ize an Independent party to-night and
probably they could get the Kepub- ]
lieaji party to agree to candidates, i
This caused a smile among the inde- j
pendents.
Dr. George Woodward, George I
Burnham, Vivian Gable and Walter
Wood supported Mr. White in his ar
gument. Mr. Wood said that it would
be for the good of the Republican
party to have some means for inde
pendents to organize against them.
The Republican party, he said, appre
hensive of having strong opposition
on the part of the independents, would
name candidates that would be accept
able to the independents and would
bring many of them over to support
ing the Republican candidates.
Senator McNichol informed tlie
Committee of Seventy that the bill
which provides that where a voter
registers and continues to reside in an
election district he shall not be re
quired to answer all questions when he
registers will not be passed by the
legislature. The committee stated it
was gratified to hear it.
It was also agreed that the Com
mittee of Seventy should submit
nmendments to the bill which requires
the payment of witness fees when a
person is subpenaed to appear before
the board of registration. The Com
mittee of Seventy thought the fees j
charged for subpenas was too high I
and the amendments to be submitted j
are intended to scale down the costs, i
The hearing lasted less than an'
hour.
State - wide Civil
Service Measure;
A bill calling for civil service on j
Capitol Hill was introduced last night i
by Mr. Marvin, Tioga. It is the bill
prepared by the Civil Service Reform j
Association of Pennsylvania and has'
the backing of its membership. It has I
been passed upon in Its final form by
Attorney General Brown, its sponsors
say.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of a commission of three mem
bers. who shall have general powers
for the making of rules and the ad
ministering of the act. There will also
be a chief examiner, who will be sec
retary to the board. The principal
offices will be in Harrisburg, with
branch offices in various counties, and
accommodations are to be provided
without cost by local authorities.
The act applies to the 5.264 em
ployes of the State except those ap
pointed bv the Senate and House of
Representatives, confidential clerks and
secretaries to heads of departments
and various confidential assistants,
who are personal appointments.
The provisions of the act will go
inU efTect January 1, 19IG, and all
employes in the State service at that
time will hold their positions under it
and cannot be removed except for due '
cause.
Examinations are to be practical
and to relate to the class of service in I
which a man applies to serve. When
necessary, physical and medical rx- |
nm in.-it ions are to lie included. No re- |
ligious or political discrimination is to)
be shown and aggrieved employes are
to be entitled to a public hearing be- j
fore final dismissal. Appointments in
the first nloce are provisional for a
period of three months. If unsatisfac
tory, the employe can he removed
without any assignment of reasons. If
he Is satisfactory the employment be
comes permanent at the end of that
three months period.
The act applies also to all counties
with a population of 200,000 or r-""-".
This will include Lackawanna - j
zerne, Philadelphia and Alleghonv "•!
the latter two civil service now applies '
to positions in the cities of Philadel
phia and Pittsburgh, and by this act
similar terms will govern the service
in the county offices. There is also a
provision that smaller counties and
third class cities can secure the op
eration of the act by having the ques
tion presented to the voters at any
general election.
Isaac Ketcham, Inventor
of Submarine Mine, Dead
■ Special to The Telegraph
New York, March 31.—Isaac A.
Ketcham, the inventor of the sub
marine mine and of an endless chain
for taking care of mines, which he
brought out during the Civil War,
died yesterday at his home, 331 Adel
phi .street, Brooklyn, in his eighty
ninth year. He was also the inventor

a young man, where he learned the
trade of a machinist and began in
venting.
He obtained patents for his devices,
but was unable to bring them to the
