WILL ORGANIZE First Move to Amalgamate All Employes Made. MELLEN FOR THE PRESIDENCY Former Head of New Haven Lines May Oe Head of Council to Include All Branches of Roads In New England States. Hoston. Tho first inovo In campaign for a Federated Council of Urotherhoods, which shall Include lli.it tho hundred!) of thousands of railway men of New England, then the millions of operatives of the I'nlted States and Canada, and ultimately perhaps the workors of Great Ilrltuln nlso, occurred at tho Qulncy house hero. Theso railroad workers are split up Into more than one hundred organizations.

None of them will ho asked to abandon Its present brotherhood. All of them are to be urged to Join In the federation that shall glvo unity of Interest and a power of numbers that by themselves they do not posess. The United States federation of separate states and the federation of the German states Into a powerful empire are the models upon which the railway campaign Is planned. The lenders of the movement are confident that when It shall be shown to be a united enterprise with the backing of the great majority of tho railroad men of New England the former president of the New Haven railroad. Charles 3.

Mellen, will accept the presidency of tho federated council. Tho men who are planning tho campaign are enthusiastic In their praise of Mr. Mellen for his cordial and fair dealings with tho employes of the railway systems ho has managed. They have written him about their plan, and In long replies, all In his own handwriting, he has referred to tho way their proposal warms his blood and pulls upon his heartstrings. The originator of the plan Is Earl II.

Morton 01 Gret-nwood, grand president of the Order of Hnllroad Station Agents. One of Its prime promoters is i 11. Sidney of the llrotlierhood of Kallroad Signalmen, anil the field ofll-cer, once tho movement Is actually un der way, will be Harry Phillips, for merly deputy mayor of West I lam ina nt'si enu ot i.onuon wliero In a population of l.tlQO.OOo he had wldo experience with the laboring class. The committee on organization and federation is made up of W. It.

Pratt of Wnl-polo, L. II. Twltchell of Iiraintreo, Dana II. Cutter of Lynn. M.

E. Ii. lhir-rett of lirookllne and William F. For nnld of Swampscott. all of whom are connected with the Order of Railroad Station Agents.

Among those who attended tho meeting at the CJuincy house were Lieutenant Governor Harry, who was at a meeting in February last and declared for federation, and ex-l'resldent Eliot, who Is declared to have been "cordially invited because he Is opposed to la. Charles S. Mellen. bor organizations and with a purpose of showing htm that he Ib wrong." It is a big program that bus been outlined by the leaders ot the federation movement thus: Not sectional nor merely national, but international in scope. Not to supersede a single present organization nor to dispossess a single present otilcer of a railway labor union.

Not to Indorse any of the revolutionary doctrines, nor to stand for any of the methods of the I. W. W. and like bodies. Hut to avoid petty sectional strikes.

To insure some security ot tenure. To secure for tho operatives places at the tables of the boards of directors who represent now the financing of the properties. To demonstrate the partner ably between capital and labor. 0 RAILROAD To secure tho power that must come to a tabor federation with millions, of members and to use that power when necessary. More In detail, Mr.

Sidney Indicates the split-up condition of tho railway men today by reciting long list of brotherhoods of which many are large, others not so large, and others, still, small, and all falling of the effectiveness which bigness of numbers and unity of nctlon might have. Among these bodies nrc: Tho Ilrothcrhood of Kallroad Signal Men, tho llrntherhood of American Signal Men, the lirotherhod of Station Kinployes (baggage handlers and tho like), tho Itrotherhood of Itnllwny Clerks, the Clerks' Assembly of the K. of In all there are snld to be a doxon organizations of clerks In tho I'nlted Stntes three dlvitlons of tho Order of Hnllroad Station Agents, tho New England Association of Roundhouse Foremen, the Now England Association for Maintenance of Way, mnde up of civil engineers, surveyors nnd the like; live bodies of trackmen, tho Drawbridge Tenders' association, the International Association of Car Workers, the roundhouse helpers, the federated trades, which In some cases have men In more than ilfty occupations, and organizations of holler makers, machinists, blacksmiths, electrical workers, freight house foremen, freight handlers of whom there are two organizations, the one linked with li Charles W. Eliot. the K.

of and the other with the A. F. of L. and the Switchmen's Union of North America. Nor is this a complete list.

Hut the list is long enough to bhoiv the text upon which the whole nppeal and nrgu ment are based. Each body was represented In- thn council by four delegates. Mr. Mellen. In h's letters to Mr.

Sid- ney, said: "it Is a great scheme. I fear you ure too enthusiastic about myself I in connection with it. 1 am glad the men think me loyal nnd steadfast enough to lead them. 1 like to ho well thought of my aid associates." And ho went on to Intimate that possibly i his association for years with the capitalistic side of the railway enter- prise might prejudice, tome against i Him. Hoth Phillips nnd Mr.

Sidney talk enthusiastically of what Mellen did when In the New Haven management, a thing, said the English organizer, that he had never heard of before. "He used to meet his employes In conference at a morning hour and his board of directors at an afternoon hour, and djscukts the same problems with botli bodies." Just there comes In the suggestion for the employes to have a representative upon the board of directors. "Why not have them meet at one and the same tltne. either morning or afternoon, and talk oer the matters face to face?" asks Mr. Phillips.

In explaining how he comes to be IdentlfloJ with this movement and his conception of the ends In view, he said: "In England we have an amalgamation Into one great railroad union of moro than nine-tenths of the railway employes of the country. When tho men caught on to the Idea they flocked to Join It at the rate of 3,000 a week. It Is not an amalgamation for strike purposes. It's like a nation which wants peace. "In this country, where there are said to bo nearly fifty thousand railroad men out of work, wo advise not amalgamation, but federation.

Get a great federation ond it will command respect and influence now frittered uway. In Englund, when we got the big amalgamation, even tho king took notice, and the appointment of the royal commission to confer with us and ascertain our needs and views, Is well remembered. "Through the co-operation of all parties In England we were able to put funds Into the enterprise which made a great amount available for emergency purposes. For example, we were able to support a commissariat, and at one clip we sent three shiploads of food to some strikers. Such things may not come here for a long time, If at all, because your men have not really suffered, as yet.

Hut the trade unions over there withdraw their moneys from the sinking funds and put them Into this co-operative movement. "There are, plenty of level-headed and able men In the workers' ranks and it good busiucss to gut them represented, not by men of auothor class with education and Influence and out of philanthropic Interest, but by mem-bets of their own number, on the boards of railway directors. I would have such a representative on the New llaveu directorate, tho Hoston Maine directorate, the New York Central directorate, the Pennsylvania, and soon."
