Charles A. Wilson Member of Grievance Committee Now Considering Country-Wide Strike.

Editor of the Tribune —Navarre Hotel, New York —Dear Sir —I am taking the liberty of sending you a report of the speech of Frank P. Walsh to the members of tne railroad brotherhoods here today. As seventyAve per cent of the railroad men in Terre Haute and vicinity are subscribers of the Tribune I would like to have the Tribune use this. Charles A. Wilson, chairman arbitration committee, C., T. H. and S. E. railroad, 1322 First avenue.

Frank P. Walsh, chairman of the committee on industrial relations, championed the eight-hour day demand of the four great railroad brotherhoods last night at a rousing, cheering, shouting meeting of the officers and 600 chairmen of general adjustment committees in the Amsterdam opera house, P]ofty-fourth street and Eighth avenue. When Walsh declared he was with the 400,000 railroad workers to the finish in their fight to esoape the serfdom of long hours, roar of applause went up from the offloera and chairmen that shook the old opera house to its foundations.

Many women, wives and daughters of the men who will meet the railroad managers in the final peace parley Tuesday, cheered Walsh and the others as one after another they took up the cause of the fQur brotherhoods. "The struggle of the brotherhoods," said Walsh, "is in line with the recommendation of the federal commission on industrial relations—that men, to live decently, must have an eight-hour •work day."

Praises Garretson.

Opening his address, he ^raised Warren B, Garretson, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, for his able work on the federal commission that Walsh headed for two years. This compliment the union leader who will be at the head of the eight-hour day fight brought Cheers from all parts of the hall.

Walsh denounced the publicity campaign conducted by the railroads since the men made their demands. He said he was not surprised-)} to see men of all walks of life championing the workers in reply to "the crooked publicity of the railroads for the last few months."

Another roar greeted him when he said the members of the four unions should hang their heads in shame if they surrendered their cause to any federal commission. That was Walsh's reply to the railroads' whine for investigation of the.demands by the interstate commerce commission. In regard to arbitration, he said:

Hits Proposed Arbitration. "I will arbitrate with no man when it means my ,own life. When it means my own welfare, the welfare of- my wife and jhildren that I work only eight hours, by the gods, I'll Hie for my cause before I give it up* to arbitration."

In rerly 'o the railroads' charge that .the eight-hour day will cost $100,000,000, he said he would take the other 6ide and say that the eight-hour day will reduce the number of loss of lives worth for *more than $100,000,000. The conservation of energj^ alone, hie said, was worth more than $100,000,000.

He said Wheeler figured in the investigation of Rockefeller in Colorado and his alliance svvith the oil magnate aroused the suspicion that there is a string to anything he proposes. He i said Wheeler tried to sell tne support of the chamber of commerce of the

United States for $250,000 to Rockefeller when things were getting hot. "When refused the $250,000, did they Hot get four times $250,000 for their support from £he railroads, which already have sfcent more than $1,000,000 in advertising against you?" asked Walsh.

He said the men of the chamber may be gauged by the fact that they voted ten to one in favor of repealing the Seamen's act. He said they would have as much chance getting the repeal.pf the seamen's act as the repeal of the Ten Commandments.

He offered the advice to Mr. Wheeler that "if they want to avoid disturbance in this country, let them use their influence to have the railroads grant the eight-hour day in the United

States."

If a referendum of all the people in the United States were held on the eight-hour work day, it would be no more necessary to count the negative votes than to count the negative votes of the members of the brotherhoods on the eight-hour day, he said.

Walsh paid his respects to A. J. Wheeler, of the chamber of commerce of the United States, who wants investigation by the interstate commerce commission. "I am suspicious .of Mr. Wheeler," began Walsh. "So are we," shouted half a dozen general chairmen.

HEY'RE just grand I" exclaimed May's visitor, **I don't know how you pick out such wonderful records!"

May smiled a pleased assent. "I don't," she admitted, that is, not without the help of the store where I bought them."

The visitor's eyes opened wide. "Do you meaif to say salespeople are that obliging?" "Obliging and with a good knowledge of music at The Root Store. I never knew such a satisfactory service before. They were just as anxious that I should have the right Victrola and that I should know all abput it. And their terms were such a convenience—so little to pay each month. Each month I get news about new Victor Records. It's such a pleasure during these hot dkys to hear them in cool, comfortable, well lighted and soundproof rooms." "Enough," announced May's visitor, "I shall go there tomorrow to select those two records that you just played."

It is a pleasure to select either a Vjctrola or Victor Record# at The Root Store. Our Victrola stock is complete from $15 to $350. Over 5,000 Victor Records. Convenient terms.

AUTO EXPERTS WAIN GLARING LIGHT USERS

Explain How Troubles on Country Roads Might Be Avoided— Remedies At Hand.

Autos that pass in the night and glare at each other in passing, when an autoist meets a fellow autoiat on a country road and does not dim his lights, Is a matter of jnotoring ethics about which the automobile dealers of the city, who all drive cars, expressed themselves rather strongly, and some most vehemently, Wednesday.

Here is the situation about which they complain. You are driving along a narrow country road, a car approaches and the shining lights blind you with th'feir brilliant glare, sweeping the road and lighting up the tops of the telegraph poles You hear the hum of the engine^, but you cannot tell the position In the road In which it: is,

or how close you are to it. A.11 yqfcan do is to stand off on the edge *5f your side of the road until the car passes by. If you are approaching a curve, the danger is greater still.

Who is the offender? Well, in the opinion of the deafers, he is not likely to be the autoist out with his family, but one of the "sport class" or else the careless chauffeur of a man or woman who is occupying the rear seat indifferent to what the drlVfer does. And who is the sufferer. He may be another motorist, a farmer driving to or from town, a family returning in a carriage from church, or a young gentleman and lady out for their Sunday evening buggy ride.

Very Simple Matter.

"The matter should be taken up by^ some authorities," said one of the dealers Tuesday, and then went on to explain. "The city has an ordinance, but in the country a fellow ^an do just about what he likes, and vvhat he doos depends upon his respect for the rights of others. Five cents worth of whiting would dim half the automobile lights in Terre Haute."

Probably the best method for dimming lights are the "dimmers," which are small light bulbs placed above the regular light which give a moderate

light when the big lights are turned off. Where bo^h cars have these "dimmers" there is no trouble in passing. The univer^p,l opinion of the dealers is that the upper half of the light glass or lens should be shaded, thus throwing a clear light down on the road. This can be done very easily by painting whiting on the inside upper half of the glass. Other dealers recommend a corrugated, or semitrajisparen^t upper half of the glass. This diffuses the light and eliminates the glare.

You have, no doubt, some method of your own, but here are some of the opinions of the dealers in. the matter. "I would prefer covering the upper half of the light. Tlje light is as effective and is thrown as far."—EX A. Martin, Chevrolet company. "All autoists should dim their lights when approaching moving vehicles. The police authorities ought to compel the owners to be equipped, with some means for dimming lights. If one doesn't care to buy this equipment he should frost his light glass."—Oscar Tooke, secretary Terre Haute Automobile Co.

Spot Light in Favor.

"The objection is well taken, it is a. hard proposition for an autoist. to

meet another with glaring lights on a narrow country road. I would suggest the dim lights and the use of a spot light on the side of the car. A spot light is invaluable. With it you detect turns in a winding road. Motorists are getting more thoughtful, though, when I dim my lights the other fellow usually responds."—J. B- Ullom, ager Steinhart-Grieger Co. "There isn't anyone who drives more carefully than I but, I have come very near to accidents on account of the glaring lights. YQU never can tell h^w near the other fellow is to you. An upper half corrugated or prism half of the Jight glass, is, I think, the best solution."—J. A. Miller.
