dealt at sensational occurrences which
have taken place on the Cajon grade. just
north of here, and have never appeared
in print. The Cajon hin is noted for It's
heavy grade and switchbackS and as
most dangerous mountain in case of run
aways. Despite all of this the Santa Fe
has for the past several months been run
ming trains over the grade which are
more than twice the size that safety
calls for. AS many as sixty-eight ears
have been sent down the hill with but air
enough to brake twenty cars. AS a result
time after time freights which have re-
ceived orders to stop at the little station
at the foot of the grade known as Verde
mont have been unable to brake the cars
and have run half-mile past the siding.
The danger which is most vital to the
trainmen is the possibility of the train
running away on the grade owing to in
sufficient brake power.
Though not until now published an en-
tire train crew was let out five weeks ago
because the men refused to come down
the hill on what they considered to be an
unsafe train. Five of the men are still
out and their case will be included in the
grievances. The committee in Los An
geles is determined that the Santa Fe
shall, among other things, cut these dan
gerous trains in two. Either that or Sc
rious trouble may be looked for

TRA|NMEN BEGIN
To CROW ANGRY
Feel That the Santa Fe
Coast Officials Are
DiScOurteOuS.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 1.-THE COM
mittee representing the Brotherhood of
Trainmen which is waiting upon General
Manager A. G. Wells of the Santa Fe
coast lines at his Los Angeles headquar:-
ters has not yet received an audience. 1t
is now believed that1the company will re-
fuse to recognize the committee. The men
were given to understand three weeks
ago that their grievances would be listened
to by General Manager Wells upon his
return from Chicago. Wells arrived last
Monday, but yet has not set any time
for the conference. Heretofore all or
ganizations have received immediate att
tention, and the trainmen are beginning
to feel their position.
A report is circulated that General
Manager Nudge has gone to Chicago to
consult with his superiors regarding the
% per cent raise which the trainmen will
demand II is said that the Chicago con-
ference will decide to compromise by CIV
ing the men either a or a 10 per cent
raise, Local men who are posted on the
situation are doubtful as to whether OF
not the union will submit to a scaling
down of its demands, and another big
strike, which at this time would be very
disastrous to the railways. is not improb-
able.
The officials and the brotherhood stout
ly maintain, however. that there is no
prospect of a strike. But there are those
who state that strike will surely follow
unless an audience is speedily given the
committee.
Among the. grievances which will be pre-
sented by the committeeman now in Los
Angeles when they are given an audience
will be one asking that all freight trains
be limited to thirty cars. This is a blow

BERLIN, Jan. 14--The Reichstag adopt
ed by lE3 10 ~ votes the tariff committees
resolution asking the Government 10 con-
stder whether il is not in the interests Of
the nation 10 place diferential duty on
refined petroleum as against crude in
order 10 establish a national refining in
oustrv. The resolution is directed against

Baron Herrnsheim said: The Standard
Oh Company sells oil cheaply only long
enough 10 ruin competition, and then
sharply advances prices 1t signifies moth
ing that a domestic industry is dependent
upon foreign raw material. Our textile
manufacturers are IN precisely the same
plight"
Foreign Under Secretary Fircher said
he hoped the house would not bother the
Governutent with such proposition. The
leHyins Of a duty on refined oil would be
exceedingly difficult owing to the uncer-
tair definition of crude and refined
petroleum.
Herr Freze, Moderate Radical, defend
ed the STANDARD OIL Company. He said
petroleum had become cheaper since its
organization than ever before This was
rot owing TO philanthropy. but was due
to the desire TO avoid competition and

The Secretary Of the Interior. Count
PosadoWsky- Wehner, in the course Of the
debate on the resolution outlined Ger

Nored nation clause. with special refer
cree TO the United States He said:
The most favored nation clause is variousIy
Interpreted by different countries especially
by the United States. The scope OF the ap-
piication of the clause must depend upon the
special character Of the trade between the
two countries concerned We cannot lay down
universal rule TO refuse the most favored
treatment 10 European countries for We
must always have in mind the question
whether the suspension OF the most favored
treatment with given country will damage
German exporters 10 the advantage OF some
third. country.
The speaker also declared that the
United States was no longer entitled to
the most favored nation treatment He
said:
We indeed thought 50 upon the basis OF
The oid trusslan treaty, but the United States
took the view that general most favored treat
rnent no longer applies to-day and that when
the United States makes concessions 70 other
countries under treaty disinterested states do
not acquire these concessions without on their
part making new concessions. General most
favored treatment between Europe ana Amer
lea has. as a matter of fact, ceased. Ac-
cordngiy, when We make new treaties the
United States VIII not enjoy the advantages
thereof without rendering equivalent on its
part The question Of most favored treatment
must be applied more individually than
hitherto.

SHOTS FLY TRUE
TOWARD TARGET
Gunners at Fort Baker
Are Making Fine
Records.

With the accompaniment of a bowling
wind, piercing to the very bone, the Six
ty-first and Sixty eighth companies, coast
artillery, stood at their guns yesterday
on the eminenee at Fort Baker. the high
est battery in the United States. The fir
ing which had taken place at the Presidio
Notifications several days ago had
brought great credit to the officers and

giddy height hoping to rival even their

a half away with the target.

Captain III. L. CIoke, sending the shots
from a twelve-inch breech-loading rife
barbette type. Eight shots were fired, all
being exactly in line and each within the
prescribed limit to count hit" The fifth
and seventh shots were not alone exactly
in line, but came pretty nearly putting
the sea-tossed target out of commission
The wind at the time was blowing hard
and the performance therefore was al
the more commendable.
The Sixty-eighth Company then took 4
hand and for the first time in the
San Francisco harbor the five-inch rapid
firing gun was tested, under command oil
Captain Armistead. The firing was direct
in every case. the range being between
5000 and 1000 yards. There were fifteeT
shots and out of that number the com
pany scored six hits"
The officers present were highly pleased
with the results. When it is considered
that every one of the eight shots from

Russia and the Jews.
ditor of The Evening Star:

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
If you Will kindly permit constant
reader, and one who Is familiar with the
conditions that actually exist in Russia, to
make this statement, and by publishing 1t
in the columns of The Star you will correct
an erroneous impression that Is existing
among a great many people who believe the
misstatement of the Russian ambassador
Those persons who are familiar with the
laws and regulations of the Russian gov
eminent" must know full well that the
Jews are only permitted to live in GER
tain states. and as much as possible are
confined to the cities. consequently there is
very little opportunity for them to become
farmers, and, what is more, under the law
they are not allowed to own land, so one
myth of the ambassadors Imagination is
gone
His statement thai the peasant Is the one
who Is the enemy of the Jew Is also false,
as l spent greater portion of my life
there. and personally know the fact to be
just the opposite The peasants are very
friendly. in fact but for the help given by
the Russian peasant the Jew" would
have been exterminated long ago. So an
other dream fades.
To Russia" the 'peacemaker" the great
agitator of arbitration. the protector of
humanity from the wrath of the terrible
Turk. the pacifactor of the heather Chi
nee." is left the humiliating fact of being
unable with her immense army to prevent
a massacre of her own people, when the
fact is quite we'll known that all the officials
of Russia" knew 1t was to take place, be-
cause the people were Jews Is this hui
mainly or Christianlike? If so. give me the
fanatical Turk
In the name of humanity all self-respect-
ing nations should protest to the would-be
pacifactor OF the world Russia" w.
