strike Probable.

New York, Nov. l3.--The tangled
railroad labor situation on the Eastern
trunk lines is further ensnarled today
over serious differences that have arisen
between the engineers and firemen Of
the New York Central and the New
Haven systems and their officials. The
Erie Railroads DISPUTE with its firemen
has been held up until all the firemen
have voted on the proposition Of going
on strike unless the company accedes to
their demands. The trouble between
the engineers and the fremen of
the Vanderbilt aud Morgan railroads
is over the nature of the employment.
With the change from steam to electric
ity on all suburban traffic, the engineers
fear that the wage scale will be reduced
and the fremen that their employment
may be done away with. Both unions
demand that the same rate OF wsges and
length of runs be continued under the
electric system. Adjustment commit
tees, headed by Grand Chief Stone, of
the Eogineers' Brotherhood, and Grand
Chief Hannahan, of the Firemen's
Uoion, held a conference today with the
officials of the New Haven and New
York Central Railroads.

inals and that society must frankly
face i!s own responsibility. Among
the various suggested means of prevent
ing the increase of criminals he men
lions vacation schools, parks, play :

baton system. He would abolish ao-
solutely the free system under which
the county sheriffs are paid 80 much a

on system is a success which does not
aim at the education and reform OF the
prisoner, and, finally, that 1t is impera-
tive to extend a helping hand to the dis
charged prisoner by giving him chance
to End his proper place in society. But
Mr. Bsrrows overlooks the fact that there
are new more schools, parks, play
grounds, ETC., than ever before. while
the number Of criminals is rapidly in
creasing. The great trouble now Is that
parents do not properly bring up their
children at home. In a majority Of
cases they are not taught manners. re-

gard for the laws of God or man, but are
given license 10 do as they please and
this license soon brings many OF them
