B. & 0. men MAY
GET MORE WAGES

In view OF the recent increases in
wages made by the Pennsylvania and
other railroads in the East, many in
quiries are being made as to the course
to be pursued by the Baltimore and
Ohio in this connection. 1t is under
stood that the matter will be brought
before the directors at the next meet
ing OF the board, to be held early in
December, II lis generally believed
that favorable action on the wag
question will be taken by the Balti.
more and Ohio directors In 1908 there
was a general readjustment of salar-
les by the Company, some employees
getting increases Of 10 per cent. and
some as much as 25 per cent. while
the salaries OF others remained un-
changed. Since them there has been
no general increase. hut President
Murray has inaugurated a promotion
system. and now every time there is
a vacancy it is filled by a man in the
service instead of bringing in an OUT
slider.
The Baltimore and Ohio employs on
it's entire system about $1,000 men. OF
this number 80 per cent. get less than
5000 a month. and II is estimated that
II the rule adopted by the Pennsyl-
vania and other big roads is followed
that it will cost the Company about
s4,0OO.000 per annum TO increase the
wages
The number who would be benefited
by an advance in wages on the part of
the railroad would be far larger than
the actual number Of employees whose
names appear on the payroll, however.
1t is estimated that fully so per cent
and some say the percentage is much
larger-are married and have famil-
les. II IS per cent. of the total num-
ber Of employees are to receive an in
crease Of 10 per cent. in their wages,
It will mean that 54,l50 men are to
benefit. Allowing that so per cent OF
these men are married and that there
are FIVE in each family, it would mean
that III 900 persons would benefit.
Then. too. there are others. such as
merchants, who would benefit indir-
ectly from general wage advance.

Special to The Evening Journal
DOVER. Nov. 22.-when last winter,
The Evening Journal noted the quiet
moving among the branches" Tor new
State Capitol building, there were some
misgivings concerning It. However, the
subject Of a new State Capitol for Della
ware is again being agitated and several
Of the new Legislators nave expressed the
opinion that something ought to be done
at this session looking toward this end.
II the Republican party goes ahead and
builds It, Judge Marvers declaration that
this party never makes public improve

The present State House Of Delaware
is unquestionaby inadequate and lacks
the dignity or elegance OF architecture
commemorative with the home Of a SOW
ereign state and the scat Of its assembly

The State is receiving enough revenue
and il is suggested that as it is all spent
every two years for one thing or another.
and that these other things are getting
in line for a divide Of all that cones in
this year, the best method Of lnsuring the
saving Of the present handsome revenue
coming into the little State, is to build a
new and modern State Capitol It would
be just like investing ones own COM
fcrtable income in a oommodious and
comfortable home, 1t Is declared by the
agitators Of the movement before letting

gestion at the State library. Here per-

stored. some in boxes down the base
ment because there is not room upstairs.
State Treasurer Rawlins viii petition
for more room. and the Legislative audit
ing committee last winter discussed a
recommendation to enlarge his quarters
If nothing else were dnne.
Governor Lea is pointed out as the very
man in whom the people would haVc every
confidence, to head a commission to build
the new capitol. Nothing like Pennsyl-
vania's experiences could then result. The
people would get a modern neat and COM
modious building with appropriate archi-
lecture at the least possible cost and any
CRATER sticking up his head would be
struck down.
There are several plans under discussion
and any one Of which may be brought to
the attention OF a Legislative committee
or the entire Legislature.
One idea is TO have Kent county buy
the present State House and use it as
headquarters for its county office work
instead of the present rather gloomy
building now occupied = his. It is claimed
could be transformed into "a residence for
the sheriff. and the present sheriffs resi-
dence could be converted into a humane
and modern prison for women who come
under the ban Of the criminal laws.
This would still leave the state the
commodious site now owned by the state
on which is situated the old governors

DYNAMITE WRECKED HOSE

the two-story brick residence af Mrs.
Pauline Jones. a negress at McKeesport.
Ia. The front part Of The house was
blown into the street and one woman
was lightly injured. Two men were seen
running away fnom the place, and-upon
investigation by the police the revenge
theory was announced.
In her statement to the police Mrs.
Jones said that about three weeks ago
three colored men visited her. They were
told that they could not remain at the
house. and after making a disturbance
they went away. asserting that they would
get even. She said the following morn

WHEN PITCHER IS
MOST EFFECTIVE
Joe MCGiRnity Says Move
Him Up Not Back
Farther

When the National League directors
meet in New York. December T. the
old question of change in the pitching
distance is on the program.
The pitching-distance question. how
ever, has been a disturbing element in
baseball for the past twenty years, but
as yet no one has solved the problem. In
fact many experts deny that it is a
problem. They believe that the present
distance Of sixty feet and fraction is
the ideal distance
The sole object in fixing the pitching
distance is to Increase batting as much
as possible, but every change has worked
the other way. Batting has steadily de-
olined, despite the numerous efforts to
rearrange the baseball rules.
About eighteen years ago there was
a great hullabuloo over the subject Of
batting, and the pitcher. who then pitch
cd at a distance of fifty feet from the
home plate, was moved back
A few years later he was again moved
back. but all the time the batting kept
on declining while the pitcher steadily
gained the upper hand.
Joe McGinnity, who probably has given
as much thought to the art Of pitching
as any man living maintains that rule
makers have been working on the wrong
theory since the foundation Of our ma
tional game.
THE idea OF moving the pitcher back
to give the batter an advantage was err
roneous in the first place" says the Iron
Man. LAS an evidence Of this, the minute
they moved us back the more effective we
became If they should move the pitcher
back to second base he would be harder
&c hit than ever, provided his arm held
out long enough to get the ball over tn,
plate.
"A logical answer to this Is that tn,
pitcher should have been kept closer
Just why this fact should maintain is
hard TO explain. but in my opinion tn,
long distance gives the pitcher O. better
chance to break curves where he wants
TO. The natural fall OF ball toward the
center Of gravity is also very deceptive tc
the eye. When pitchers threw the ban al
nifty feet It kept more on a straight line
and wide curves were almost impossible
as they didn't break soon enough Ii
other words. the batter's eye could follow
ball at a distance Of fifty feet better
than he could at sixty
"A good instance o. this inability tc
hit a ball thrown from a long distance,
continued McGinnity. Is shown wher
you see batter try to bit one back when
thrown in from the field in practice. Some
day you watch that and see how many
they can hit on line.
Il don't know exactly what ought to b,
done, but II they are thinking Of putting
the pitcher further back they are worlSln,
on the wrong theory" M ...
