CANNOT RAISE WAGES.
The Erie Refuses the Demand of It's Men

The Erie Refuses the Demand of Its Mon
for Fear lof Bankruptcy.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Erie officials
after ten days. consideration, gave the fed
Grated board of trainmen an answer to-day
to the amended agreement of rules which it
wanted the company to sign. The board Is
made up of the general grievance commits
tees Of the engineers, lremen, conductors
and brakemen's brotherhood on the Erie
system. The demands of the men in SUBJ
stance were that ten hours should constitute
a days work, over time to be paid at the
the rate of one-tenth of days pay per
hour. Relative to promotions it was de-
manded that, qualifications being equal,
the Oldest men should have the preference.
In his reply to his men sent out by
President King to-day, he says that
a careful comparison has been made
by the company between the rates of
wages paid upon its lines to engineers, fire.
men, conductors and trainmen, and those
paid upon the principal competing and ad-
jacent lines. They find that the rates paid
the Erie's men are in nearly every instance
higher. President King adds that the rates
and allowances would increase the pay rolls
of the Erie system to the amount Of 81, 034,-
900 per annum. Moreover, he says, it would
naturally follow that justice to the en-
ployes of classes other than those engaged
in the train service would make them par
Elephants in any general advance, and the
addition to the burdens of the company
would therefore be still greater. The sum
named is in excess of the average earnings
of the company for the last five years above
its fixed charges, which must later neces-
sarily be met in order to preserve the COM
pany from insolvency and the property
from disintegration.

THE NATIONS CROPS.

October Estim atcs Of the Yield Per Acre.
WASHINGTON, Oct. n.-October estimates
Of the yield per acre for the entire breadth
OF the cereal crops, as compiled by the de-
partment of agriculture are: Winter wheat,
1913 bushels per acre; spring wheat, lis;
wheat crop, Ill; oats, 1913; barley, FL;
rye IT'S. The condition of corn is roo, in
stead of 70.1 last month; buckwheat, DOT.
instead OF 90.5; potatoes, 61.7, instead OF
65.7; tobacco, 1874, instead of 82.4. There
is practically no change In the general av-
erage of condition, except a reduction OF
four points In potatoes and an increase OF
two points in tobacco. The effect of winter
frosts upon wheat is shown by the lower
rate of yield to have been severe.
Some OF the higher rates In the principal
states are: New York, 1852, Pennsylvania,
IL; Ohio 1873; Michigan, 1872; Illinois, lis;
Missouri, 11.2; Kansas, 1876; California, 10;
Oregon, is.
The crop made very low yield through
out the SOUTH where the acreage is small.
In the Ohio valley the variation In the
yield In different counties, as to farms
in the same county, has the extraordinary
range Of Ave to twenty-five bushels, and in
extreme cases from one to thirty bushels.
One county In Illinois claims ''the best
crops In years and another "a poorer crop
than was expected" The Rocky mountain
areas made high averages in spring wheat
on limited areas. Dakota yields, varying
from bushel or two to twenty-five BUSH
els, make an average of nine bushels per
acre. Minnesota returns 12 and Wisconsin
1875 bushels.
The estimated yield of oats of 1915 BUSH
els, which is the lowest ever reported, will
probably reduce the aggregate products
more than 200, 200, 900 bushels.

FIGHTING MACHINES.
The Battles of the Future VIII be Con tests
Between Them.

Ane SaStAes OF the future VIII be Contests
Between Them.
1t is becoming more and more appar-
emit that the battles of the future,
whether on land or sea, will be largely
contests OF machines with machines.
The development of modern weapons
has gone on at such d pace that it seems
not unreasonable to predict that before
long what will be required Of amen who
fight battles will be, more than anything
else, thorough knowledge of mechan-
ism; in short they will be, to great ex.
tent mechanics and engineers. Already
the modern naval vessel has become
what may be called simply q fighting
machine, all it's space not required for
the men and officers being taken up
with intricate and complicated ma
chinery for doing things which in the
old days were done by the men, or left
undone. Indeed, the modern warship
has grown so complicated, and done II
so rapidly, that it is said many of the
older officers of the navy are meeting
with considerable difficulty in keeping
abreast of the improvements, and that
the younger men, fresh from the study of
science, and with more ambition to spur
them on to further study, are coming rap
idly to the front in consequence. It
seems that future naval victories are to
be won not by the side that has the
strongest and bravest men necessarily,
but by the side which has its men best
protected from the machines of the
enemy, and is itself provided with supef-
Tor machines. All this, of course, Will
inevitably bring more and more into
prominence the machinist and engineer,
and it is beginning to be recognized that
some additional effort must be made to
secure the best of both on war vessels

Election Frauds I'm the South.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Attorney-G General
Miller is in receipt of a letter from the
south, where the recent election frauds have
resulted in the conviction of a number of
men engaged in fraud upon the ballot. Those
letters show how difficult it is to work up
public sentiment in the southern states to
such degree as to secure any effect from
the convictions. In one county in Tennessee
the local board authorized the county COM
missioners to pay the fine and costs of all
the men who were convicted in the United
States court, and as result ST, 300 were paid
in the United States courts out of the pub
lie funds to meet the fines against the de-
PENDANTS. Similar instances are cited from
other sections of the south, and altogether
show the law department OF the govern
ment that nothing much can be done that
will be likely to convince the southern peo-
pie that the United States election laws
should be enforced.
