n. Y. CONFRONTED
BY A T|E-UP Of
THE RAILROADS

New York, Dec. 2o.-Michael J. Reagan,
industrial mediator of the state board or
arbitration. has rendered his good offices
in the hope of avertng a strike of 5000
yardmen against eight railroads with ter
mlnals in this city.
He has. however. received, II Is said
little encouragement from either side and
last night was told that the dispute had
passed the point OF possible arbitration
and reached a crisis where II was to be a
case of either backdown Internationally
or fight.
Last night the yardmen served upon Of
ficers of the Pennsylvania railroad the
ultimatum already received by the other
railroads. This Is to the effect that the
men will go out today (probably at mid
night unless the demand OF 5 cents an
hour increase in wages is granted.
An amicable adjustment would, IL was
pointed out, add some 100000 to the total
annual expenses OF the companies. On the
other hand, the employees claim that such
a concession will put them only upon an
equal footing with similarly employed
men in other sections.
The Pennsylvania railroad was not at
first figured In the calculations of the
men, as that road II is understood. has
agreed TO concede whatever advance Is
made by the other roads but last night
II was decided to include this road in the
formal demand.
The other roads involved include all
OF the New York Central and the New
York, New Haven and Hartford, which
have already reached an understanding
with their men.
Extraordinary efforts, It Is believed. will
be made today TO bring about settle
ment. for a strike when the Christmas
traffic Will be at its height could hardly
fail TO result in much inconvenience to
patrons OF the roads concerned.
Grand Master +. II. Morrlssey OF the
brotherhood OF Railway Trainmen, Is ex-
pected in town today. and will be invited
into a conference with the railroad off,
cials.
The latter seem TO have confidence In a
favorable outcome of this discussion, but
the yardmen insist that ~ will not change
the situation. as they have all along acted
on the suggestions OF the grand master.
Vice-Grand Master Murdock said late
last night that IL would not be the fault
OF the yardmen II the holiday traffic was
tied M by "A strike, as the yardmen had
followed the rules OF the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen I'm seeking the In
crease in pay. III there was inconvenl-
enCe. he said. the responsibility would
rest on the railroad companies.

RABBI ATTACKS
SECTAR|AN|SM
IN SCHOOLS

Before the Congregation Sons of Israel
and David last evening Rabbi Henry Eng
lander protested against religious exer-
cises in the public schools, especially at
Christmas time. which he said made 1t
impossible for Jews to join in the cele-
bration of Christmas 80 far as concerned
the schools.
Exercises that express dogmatic Views
OF Christianity are plaiiHy and clearly
contrary TO the spirit OF religious liberty"
he said.
He deplored the fact that so many. and
often narrow. interpretations OF the mean
ing of the Bible had resulted I'm so much
dissension among denominations. and In
sectarian strife: and he said he looked
forward to the day when a more llDerai
view of the great doctrines contained In
the inspired book should put an end for
ever TO narrowneSs and differences OF
creed.
The rabbi said that the promises of re-
ligious liberty and free thought were not
borne out in the schools. since the belief
of the minority was not given the respect
It deserved and was made subservient In
the present form of religious exercise. 10
the thought OF the majority.
1T Is sad TO contemplate the fact" he
said that the very book which above all
others breaches peace and good Will 10 all
men, breaches that all men are brothers
and that one God has created all, should
have been the cause OF so much conten-
tion and strife: that II should have set up
creed against creed and engendered bigo-
try and hatred.

say, Have we not all one Father, has not

prcted"

PRESIDENT ETSE
DEGREES HAZING
Makes a Suggestion That Cases OF
Extreme Freshness Be Rea-
soned With.

Madison, Wis, Oct. president
Charles r. Van Hise, of Wisconsin
university, proposed to gathering OF
freshmen and sophomore students that
the system of haZing be abolished and
an orderly method Of student discipline
be substituted. He suggested that all
cases Of extreme freshness he reported
to the student advisory committee, a
subcommittee Of which would act as a
discipline board for freShn N and
sophOmores.
President Van Hise said that he did
not wish to force the matter. He
merely proposed il for the two classes
to think over and take action on, II
they 90 desired. The president COM
plimented the sophomore class on the
moderation shown in the fall hextDg,
but asked as a special favor that in
the future It refrain from exhibiting
its victims at ChadbOurns hall. the
girls dormitory, and the society
houses.
