MILLIONS PAID OUT
IN INCREASED WAGES
Surprising Figures Issued Concern
ing Railroads.

To the person who is unfamiliar with
the expense OF operating railroads
there seems to be no valid reason why
employees should not be paid few more
dollars a week when they ask for n
raise and for shorter hours. as they
have on nearly all OF the lines having
terminals in Washington. including the
baltimore and Ohio, which Is now dis
cussing the matter with the leaders OF
the unions. To the officers of the rail
roads, however. a very good reason ex-
lists. and this is the expense.
When a few dollars are paid weekly
or monthly to an army of men, the
total is surprising. Some figures were
given out yesterday concerning the
amount the Reading is now paying out
as a result OF its recent liberality, wher
nearly all of the employees were giver
raise OF about Is per cent per month
This increase amounts to over $750,oo'
year. 1t is said that should the Bal
timore and Ohio grant all of the in
creases asked the amount is going t.
be above this figure.
More than score of the largest rail
road systems in the country in the las
six months have granted increases il
wages. and at the Interstate Commerc'
Commission offices It was said that thu
railroads are today paying out in roun'
numbers $4,000 600 more annually thar
| they were two years ago.
Dispatches have been received by tn
| Interstate Commerce Commission an
nouncing that the latest railroa'
to raise wages is the Chicago AM
Northwestern. which has granted an in
crease of 20 per cent TO the employee
in the locomotive repair shops of tn
| system.
This increase means that the railroa
is to pay out annually 100000 The in
crease was granted on the demands o
the union in the shops after a series o
conferences with the officers. The Off
GERS also conceded the demand for tn
| recognition of the union.

FRIENDS
BELIEVE HIM DEAD
No Word or Sign From the Missing
Young Man.

Friends OF Richard B. Caroway, the
clerk in the Department OF Justice. who
disappeared mysteriously from his
boarding house, 412 Sixth Street north
west, more than three weeks ago. are
gradually losing all hope Of ever seeing
him again. Since his disappearance
neither his stanchest friends nor the
police have been able to get any clue
that might lead to finding of Caroway
or his body.
The police have been informed by sew
eral friends they believe the young clerk.
who was recently respondent over his
ilI-health. and had talked OF suicide
several days prior to his departure from
his boarding house. made away with
himself. G. c. Worthen. one OF Caro-
ways friends, said yesterday he remem-
bered a walk along the Potomac River
banks with Caroway recently. when
Caroway walked out on each of the little
capes jutting into the river. Mr.. Wor-
then believed Caroway did this to find
some desirable place along the river
where he might throw himself into the
water. Since the disappearance of the
clerk MI NOTLutE mas NtcitCN atA Va tAtS
places at which he and Caroway stopped
while on their trip up the banks Of the
river. but could find no trace OF the
missing man. He also visited Dead
Mans Hollow" a favorite haunt for
suicides, but the search there revealed
nothing
Attorney James Easily Smith. OF the
| Department OF Justice, sent dispatch
! to Caroway's mother in Bioomville,
Iowa. where the young man spent his
! summer vacation, and informed her OF
her sons disappearance. He inquired
whether she had heard from Caroway
since September 1 and received mega
tive reply. Upon receiving this inforna-
ton Mr. Easby-Smit practically aban-
doned all hope of seeing Caroway alive.
1t was learned that Caroway, while
returning TO Washington from Iowa re-
Gently. remarked to a friend here tina;
it was all he could do to keep from
throwing himself into one OF the Great
Lakes while in a lake port town.

Small boys are the trouble Of my

Pennsylvania Railroad at Eighth street
this morning. "They cause my hair to
stand on epd several times every day
by their recklessness. 1t is a wonder
more Of them are not killed. They take
chances jumping around >in front Of

years would not think of doing.
THE worst time i'm the day" con-
tinued the gate tender lis between five
and six o'clock in the evening. The
men employed in the American Car
and Foundry Company are going home
about this time and the urchins come
in crowds to get the scraps left by the
workmen in their lunch baskets. Mar
row escapes are an everyday occur
ance. In their haste to get to the men
they pay no heed to approaching trains.
