Coliseum Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock and at 7:30 in the evening. , It has - not been announced yet at which Adair will speak. ; ,; , Other .speakers are : Rev. Thomas S. Kuhn, assistant ' slate auditor, formerly a Richmond citizen; Lev Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis; Charles J. Orbison former judge of the Marion county court and W S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. ? John P. McNamee, editor of the Engineer's, and Fireman's Journal of Indianapolis, will act as chairman. Orchestra Will Play.

TVelsbrod'8 Saxophone orchestra will furnish music for both meetings. - Do you receive or ship, freight? If you do, this question of an. eight hour day to -railway freight train service employes-is an important one to you. i.V.Wbat has an eight ."hour day for train crews got to do with me?" you Eay. ' t: :': 'Jj Did it ever occur to s you that the practice of railroads irf loading down a -locomotive with all the tonnage it would drag over the road was one eause of your freight shipments being so slow in delivery. ' " This is -just how it works out and how it affects you. , i.- -Load Down Trains. '.Railroads, in order to Increase their earnings per train miler are loading their locomotives with ever car that they can possibly pull over any given division. ' , . A few years ago.you will remember, freight' trains ran on a regular schedule just the same as passenger trains. They each bad a number and the train would run regularly, and you could tell abont when a certain numbered freight train would arrive at your town. How is it now? "The railroads do not start out! a train from a d Wis Jon point at all, until a, sufficient number, of loaded cars are accumulated in ,the. terminal to make up the full tonnage of the locomotive.. This means that the car that contains your merchandise is held at the terminal. ; . i ! Wait at Terminal. "Now,s then, when these t trains' are finally made up to their full tonnage limit, necessarily they drag along the road at a snail's pace, and in the meantime your customers are clamoring' for goods.

These slow moving, trains 'are further delayed by : the fact that the trains .are so long that the sidings won't bold them, and at numerous meeting points on single . track railroad, between two trains,, they most uncouple and "saw" by, which sometimes takes an hour or more. -: An immense number of cars now on sidetracks and repair tracks, .which on account of some' slight defect cannot be used in these extremely long trams, could be in service If the trains were shorter, and would help wonderfully to relieve the present car shortage.

- Now, here Is where the eight-hour day for train crews will ' help you,

Mr., Shipper! ,

The men are asking for a basic eight

hour day, which, means that the trains

must make an; average of 12 miles

per, hour in order to avoid payment of

overtime instead of ten miles per hour

as it is at present. - No Penalty Attached. -Under the present ten hour day sys

tern, there is no penalty for working a man overtime; consequently, if train

crews- are kept on the road longer fhan ten hours there is no extra payment made for overtime other than at the same regular rate per hour that the trainmen got before the ten hours

expired; therefore, i the ' question of

wages is of, very little concern to the railway lines, because they are not paying any penalty for overtime, , and

one extra car of freight I will earn en

ough to . more than pay what it costs to keep the men on the road longer

than ten hours. " .;"'" .

The terrific strain and exposure to which train crews are subjected shortens - their lives and shatters . their health. Eight hours is long . enough for any man to work at such arduous labor and when the eight hour day is in force it will mean more time at home with their families,, more time to take necessary rest.

WILL JOIN FEDERATION

St. Paul's Lutheran church will join the Richmond Federation of Churches. This was decided at the council meeting last night. The remainder of the time of the meeting was taken up with the consideration of routine business. ' . ': : .

HEAVY-SIGN FALLS

STRIKING MRS. LONG

Mrs. William Long, wife of a"police officer, was very painfully but not seriously injured this afternoon when a heavy section of a sign fell from the third floor of the building at 520 Main street and alighted on her left shoulder, knocking her prostrate on the sidewalk. Two men, George Doherty and Fred Tage, were engaged in lowering the sign when the accident occurred. Mrs. Long had just stepped out of a store when the falling section of the big sign dropped upon her. Had it fallen upon her "bead she probably would have been killed. After being given medical attention Mrs. Long was able to return to her home. Her shoulder is very badly bruised and sprained but it is not believed that any bones were broken. Over a week ago a big sign on a building at Seventh and Main streets fell and dropped upon the head of Robert Devinney, colored, who was passing by. He was rendered unconscious but not seriously hurt.
