Wages Reduced BY Cutting Down
Hours

Al the Reduced Wages the Men Only
Receive One Dollar and Forty
Cents Day for Their Very
Hard Work.

Grants Pass. Dec, ls.--An order was
received from headquarters to Tom
Burke. foreman Of the steel gangs lay
ing new rails between Crow creek can
yon and Grants Pass, to the effect that
the hours for work should be reduced
from 10 to s. thus cutting the mems
wages from sl.75 to $l.4o day, to take
effect at once. The order affected be-
tween 200 and 800 laborers. and. while
there is no kind of an organization
among these men. they laid down their
tools and asked for their time. which
suspended operations Of the several
construction crews in the vicinity,
There was no demonstration, but the
men Just quietly quit work and left
Mr.. Burke with only about IS men to
carry on the work.
The men pay $3.50 per week for
board. and they are not alone in their
opinion that the amount of wages
under the new conditions is too small
for the work done. Mr.. Burke wired
the situation to headquarters Tues
lday and received instructions to pick
up all the section men possible in all
the crews near by and place them in
his department. The order also re-
duced hours of section men from 10
TO ., thus reducing their wages to Sls5
q day. 1t is doubted IL the section men
will take up the new work. OF course
there are quite number OF idle men
all over the country. and the railroad
company expects to ship in men from
San Francisco and Portland to take the
places of the men who have quit. Some
are free to express the opinion that
this move on the part of the railroad is
only the beginning Of more reductions
to follow and that there will occur

AGAINST LES Majestic.
BOYS Committed to Jail for Trivial
offenses.

OfenSSs.
Berlin. Dec. 13.-Whfle 1t is true
that the judicial authorities have been
informally advised that the kaiser is
inclined to be more lenient with per-
sons who commit les majestic in a
condition of drunkenness, all depends
upon the grade of drunkenness. 1t
seems that a man or woman must be
stone blind drunk to escape being sent
to Jail. so drunk that he is irresponsi-
BILE, before the law, for his actions. Be-
sides he must prove previous good
character, must crave the emperor's
pardon publicly and pay fine. On the
other hand the law continues to be
strictly enforced against all sober peo-
pie, even down to little children. There
are now three children in Prussian jails
who have been sentenced for insult to
the lords anointed. One of them is a
little girl IL years old, Of Polish pa
rentage, who refused to accept from the
teacher brooch with the emperor's
picture that William sent to the Polish
scholars. The teacher would not take
back the imperial present and little
ariska let 1t fall on the floor. Hence,
six weeks arrest for her--not much
considering that up to $50 years ago
Russians were executed for dropping
a coin bearing the czar's picture.
Five months was the sentence given
to policy boy, who said he was proud
of medal one of his forefatners wore
in fighting the Prussians. and that he
would not exchange it for all the
medals the kaiser compelled people to
decorate themselves with.
The third victim of the lsse majestic
law, Adelbert Grezabka, 13 years old,
informed his schoolmates that the
kaiser, in his heart of hearts, was an
ally of Russia, but that II he ever got
into a scrap with the Japs he would
probably run as fast as Alexieff. The
official papers maintain that Adelbert
is a thoroughly unspeakable lad, who
"sasses" his teacher. steals apples and
pennies and is given to other henious
crimes.

Il understand. though cannot vouch
for the absolute accuracy of the state
ment, that Russia had only 100 guns
in Manchuria- If that is the case her
artillery strength has been diminished
almost one-third.
THE announcement that the Rus
slams would not contest their crossing
the Yalu has proved, as we thought.
to be misleading. Thirty thousand men
is far too large body for any general
to leave in the face Of an enemy II it
were merely intended to hamper his

Il take it from dispatches that we
have now practically secured control
of both banks Of the Yalu. In con-
sequence our base win probably be
moved to Antung."

on both sides In the weeks fighting
may reach the figures given by the

brought up to support the Russian

fighting was the heaviest.
The Russians made special effort
to hold as long as possible the heights
OF Cho San on an island opposite Kul-
len cheng. whence their guns COM
manded considerable stretch of the
river to the south. but Japanese bat
terry on n hill above Wiju dominated
the position which the Russians even
tually were forced TO relinquIsh, thus
losing the key TO the river. The des-
perate character OF the struggle there
may have been due 10 the necessity
Tor gaining time for the withdrawal OF
he Russian detachments above and be-
low. General Sassulltch was in COM
