ST. LOUIS, March %.—Attorney Jud- gon, speaking for the Brotherhood of Locnmotive Firemen and Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, gave attention to-day to the claims advanced by the ratiroad that ihe grievances originated with the defendants in the case, and not with employees of the railroad. He read a circular tasued by Presitent Ramsey, of the Wabash, Iast November, mhich Informed the men that he wat considering the question of advancing wages, This was, he said, an admission that grievances existed on the road be- fore the Grievance Committee presented ite demands to Mr. Ramsoy, He then took up the right of the men to take advice upon their course of conduct, After reading decisions by Judge Taft and Judge Grosscup which recognized the right of laboring men to associate and combine, he argued that the right to combine carried with it the right to take advice from those with whom they are united.

The child is Margaret Greene, daughter of Patrick Greene, who lives in Elizabeth street, West New Brighton. She !s only three and one-half years old. To-day her mother sent Margaret to the grocery on Castleton avenue to get me rolls for breakfast. It was neces- ry to cross the trolley tracks in Castle- ton avenue to reach the store. Margaret got the rolls and started! back ina great hurry with the package | under her arm. A trolley car was com- ing north at a rapid rate, and the child thought she could get across before it reached her, She made a dash and missed it. The motorman, Richard Boerum, did not have time to stop the car. He re- versed the motor, set the brake and then reached over for the youngster. He! was just too late to catoh her before the car hit her. But the next instant he had her in his strong grasp and, although almost hang- ing onto the dashboard with his toes, he lifted her up to the front platform. The car ran on for a block before Boerum could stop it. Then he sent Conductor Frank Ryetson for a doctor. Dr. William Walder came and imme: diately sent the child to the Smith In- firmary, where it was said her skull had been fractured. The surgeons fear she cannot live. Coroner Schaefer was notified and has already asked the police to make an in- vestigation. No arrests have yet been made, but It 1s probable that Boerum, | despite his courage, will be locked w charged with manslaughter if Margare dies.
