New York, Nov. 10.-President T. D.
Underwood of the Erie Railroad COM
pany declined to grant a demand for
a reduction In working hours, which
had been made by committee repre-
senting the firemen employed by the
company. John J. Hanrahan, grand
master of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Firemen, informed Mr. Underwood
that his response to the demands Of
the firemen was unsatisfactory, and
that a poll of the Erie firemen would
be taken at once to determine wheth-
er or not they Will strike. The fire.
mems demands are said to be equiva-
lent to an increase of 10 per cent in
wages. Seventeen hundred men are
said to be affected. Their committee
had q conference with General Man
ager Stuart of the Erie, who refused
their demands, and they took the mat
ter to President Underwood, who told
them he should not have been appeal
ed to after Mr.. Stuart had given his
decision. The president also advised
the firemen to go home and wait until
the matter could be investigated.
Grand Master Hanrahan replied that
no further investigation was necessary
and that the Erie paid its flremen
less than any Of its three competing
roads between New York and Chicago
the New York Central, the Pennsyl-
yania and the Baltimore and Ohio.
After the conference the fremen's
committee had a meeting and decided
that negotiations with the Erie Off

THE EFFECT OF INCREASE
OF RAILROAD MEMS PAY
Something About the Number Of Employees Who Will Receive
Benefit Both East and West of Pittsbure

Philadelphia, Nov. 10.-The Board of
Directors of the Pennsylvania Rail

an advance of ten per cent in the wa
ges of all permanent employees of the

all lines of the Pennsylvania System

The Pennsylvania and its affiliated
companies employ about 1872 900 men
OF these about $4,000 will participate
in the increase of wages. This will

an increase of ten per cent, to all
employees receiving less than $500 a
month. Thus, the present readjust-
ment will be equivalent TO total adj

es it will represent an extra increase,

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com

ton of wages since May, 1877, when,
because of riots and other troubles
reduced earnings made ten per cent
decrease necessary. This was restor-
ed in March, 1880, however, and Penn
syIvania employees have since that
time enjoyed constant and undiminish-
ed wages, in spite of business depress-

| Had President Roosevelt gone to
Panama in 1902 instead of in 1906, a
very different sight would have met
his eyes then instead of the one he
will see. In 1902 Panama was still a
de pendant state of the republic ox
Columbia and probably its most
wretched one. 1t had been torn by
civil wars for period of five years
during which time the lives of more
than one hundred thousand men had
been sacrificed, and even at that time
it was going through the throes of
another revolution, the last it exper-
fenced before gaining its independence,
thanks to Uncle Sam and Theodore
Roosevelt
Had Mr.. Roosevelt visited the Is
thmus of Panama in 1902, when he
landed on the quay at Colen, the At
lantic terminus of the canal, the first
and most important sight he would
have met with would have been the
great number of buZzards, some flying
laZily through the air, others rooSting
languidly on the roofs of tumbled
down shacks, while still more would
be devouring carrion on the commons
and deserted lots. BuZZards typified
the conditions on the IsthmuS at that
time when revolution stalked abroad.
Buzzards are the scavengers of South

Berlin, Nov. 10.-Fifty thousand Po-
