Men Drop Nine-Hour Roads Grant Increase of Ten Per © Cent in Wages. the western of the Order Brotherhood Differences between railrcads and niembers of Conductors and ‘the of Railway Trainmen have been justed. The men abandoned: their demand for a nine-hour workday, and the railroads made advances over their previous propositions in the pay of baggagemen, flagmen and brake- men. The original demands of the men were for an increase of 12 per cent and for a working day of nine hours. -The managers offered an increase of ten per cent and declined to grant the nine-hour day. The agreemet was reached finally through the efforts of Chairman Knapp, the Interstate Commerce Commission, and Commissioner Neill, of the United States Bureau of La- bor. They formulated the final proposi- | tion, and the adjustment was chiefly due to their labors. The new agreement, which goes into effect April 1, and is retroactive for the first days of the month, is in part as follows: The pay of conductors in the pas- | senger service to be increased $10 and that of flagmen and $6.50 per month. not to make any reduction in crews or increase in mileage to offset the increased wages. Overtime in the passenger service | to be allowed on the basis of 15 miles per hour, to be computed for part of the run separately. overtinie rate to be cents per hour for conductors; cents for baggagemen, flagmen and brakemen. The Brotherhood of Firemen also were granted an crease of 10 per cent. — The 4 9a 23 in- Power House Equipment Contracts. The Ohio Valley Finance Co., which is building an electric railroad from !

Attorney General Stead of Illinois reported to Gov. Dineen that the Har- riman syndicate’'s manipulation of the Chicago & Alton properties has bankrupted the road and over $57, 000,000 was raised on it for no legiti- mate or lawful purpose. Attorney General Stead concludes there is not the least doubt that a civil remedy exists against the “fi- nanciers who have wrecked this pros- perous railroad company, and, at the expense of innocent stockholders and bondholders, have gathered to them- selves a harvest of millions of dol- lars.” Mr. Stead inclines to the belief that the remedy lies with the company it- self, or, act, with some one or more of its stockholders. No opinion is express- ed as to whether the members of the Harriman syndicate are criminally li- able under the statutes-of Illinois. According to the figures set out in Mr. Stead’s opinion, Harriman and his associates made a total profit of $24,- 418,600 out of their operations, involv- ing the Alton properties. The indebtedness of the companies, as shown by the figures in Mr. Stead’s opinion, has been increased to a total ct $80,646,218 since they fell into Harriman's hands. Of this amount only $22,500,000, ac- cording to Harriman's own testimony, savs the attorney general, was incur- red for improvements, betterments or extension of the roads. PLOT AGAINST ROOSEVELT.

MRS. EDDY INCAPACITATED Counsel of Christian Science Leader Agrees That Woman Cannot Manage Affairs. Counsel for the plaintiffs in the Eddy case said that Mr. Streeter, per- sonal counsel for Mrs. Eddy, those who have charge of her have arrived at the same conclusion as to the incapacity of Mrs. Eddy to man- age her business affairs that her son came to when he saw her in Janu- ary last. This suit, they declared, is not di- rected at Mrs. Eddy or al Christian Science. The position of the petition- ers is that because of her incapacity to manage her business affairs, re- formation as to the management, con- trol and ‘accounting thereof was nec- essary for her protection. Mrs. Eddy issued a personal note bearing on her appointment of trus- tees to handle her estate, she naming the following: Henry .M. Baker, Archibald McClellan, editor in chief of the Christian Science periodicals, and Josiah KE. Fernald, president of the United States National bank, Concord. She added: “To my aforesaid trustees I have committed the hard earnings of my pen—the fruit of my honest toil—the labor that is known by its fruits— benefitting the human race and I have so done that I may have more peace and time for spiritual thought and the higher criticism.” AGAINST MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP and Mayor Dunne Defeated in- Chicago City Election.

Harriman, the railroad king, in a letter which purports to have been written by him in Decem- ber, 1905, to Sidney Webster of New York, states that in 1904, a few days before the election, President Roose- velt called him to Washington and requested him to raise use of the Republican national com mittee. letter. President Roosevelt denies without qua.ification, Harriman's statement. This is the way he describes it: such statement is a deliberate and characterized by an even shorter and more ugly word.” The Harriman letter says in part: the autumn of 1904, when it looked certain that the New York state ticket ful as to Roosevelt himself, he President) sent me a request to go to Washington to confer upon political conditions in New York state.
