cARINo ZOE FAIrHFuL EMPLoYEs.

HE pensioning system which was inaugu-
rated by the Pennsylvania Railroad Conn
pany is proving one of the most important parts
OF the service When the plan was first adopted
there were many msgivings as to its success or
whether the corporation could afford TO carry out
such an elaborate change in dealing with its en-
ployes. Not only does the company seem salts
ned with the arrangement, but it has decided to
increase the amount devoted to the pension fund
by thiry-hve per cent. Almost half million
dollars were paid by the company in pension al
lowances last year, there being nearly two thou
sand persons on the retired list of the corpora
ton. This number will be increased continually
until the fund devoted for pension purposes must
become very large one. Other railroad COM
panes have followed the example of the Penn
sylvania, and the pension system as the years go
on will spread to other industrial enterprises
Many manufacturing concerns will begin to pro-
vide for their aged and faithful employees whose
period of'active and useful service has ended.
The question Of looking after worn out en-
ployes has always been problem more serious
in the older countries than in the United States
II has. been supposed that because of the average
higher rate OF wages paid in America there would
never be need for industrial pension funds but it
must be remembered that the cost OF living is
greater here, people work harder. and are PLAYED
out sooner. The political programs Of many of
the worlSngmen's parties in Europe usually in
Volve state pension iund for the aged. and we
believe such system is in force in Switzerland
and perhaps in other countries Here the pri-
vate corporations have started TO do what the
government is called on to perform in some
other countries.

INCREASING INTEREST IN GooD ROADS

G OMETHING is certain to come out Of the
good roads agitation in the State. The
Delaware delegates ATE preparing to attend the
convention of the road makers, to be held soon in
Pittsburg, where they will doubtless get excel
lent ideas for highway improvement While the
talk about good roads has been confined largely
to New Castle, it should be taken up in Kent and
Sussex counties. 1t is pleasing to notice that
delegates from those counties will attend the
Pittsburg convention. Good roads are of vital
Importance to the lower counties as we'll as to
New Castle They aid the farmer in every way
and are a saving of time and money to him.
Good roads lessen the distance practically that
dweer in the rural regions has to travel One Of
the reasons why some men in the lower counties
are quitting farms is because of the bad roads in
remote regions. The hauling Of their fruit and
grain and other produce to the markets is an ex-
pensive process to them. Good roads would help
them out of their difficulties.

PENNSY MEN
ASK CONCESSIONS
Talk With AtterbuTy Leads
to Probable Solution
Of Difficulties

Backed up by a heavy strike vote,
which virtually amounted TO nothing
else than n vote Of confidence. the
E representatives Of the yard trainmen.
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad on SAT-
urday asked General Manager After
bury for another confere nee. which was
granted, and ended with the official
announcement that there would be
further conferences this week, and that
there was mo friction"
Mr.. Atterbury met the trainmen's
Grievance Committee in the assembly
room OF the railroad employees, in the
lcompany's building, and remained in
conference all afternoon. The repre-
sentatives backed up their arguments
with the assertion that the big vote
IN favor of strike meant that the
yard employees were determined to get
more concessions than those already
granted to them by the company
But the Grievance Committee at the
same time professed to be as anxious
as the railroad officers to avoid the
consequences Of a strike. and suggest
ed that a compromise might be reach
ed. Tho committee submitted several
counter proposals to the conditions Of
Tered ny the company dn the general
notice issued by Mr.. Atterbury on
Thursday, and the conferring parties
then entered into a general discussion
of the many minor points involved in
the question at issue. of which the
most important was the demand Of the
men for two cents an hour more than
the increased wages offered by the
company These discussions will be
continued to-day, and probably drag
along till the end of the week
Mr. Atterbury and other railroad Of
ficers declare that there is no possi-
bility OF strike. II is pointed out
that since the Pennsylvania trainmen
have not gone on strike fsr 30 years,
it would be inconsistent on their part
to 60 on a strike now Immediately
after receiving greater concessions
from the company than at any other
occasion when wages and hours have
been the cause OF dispute.

not to be made, the sooner the Legislature ad-
Journs the BETTER it will be for the State and

have done to strengthen the party in the State
that 1t seems pity, shame that the splendid
opportunity has been thrown away. 1t is to be
hoped that the visit to Dover of Chairman du-
Pont and the State Committee and the plain talk
they had with the members will bear good fruit
If it does not, the men responsible for the intol-

THOUGHT YACHT
A FILIBUSTER

Secret service men Saturday made a
thorough search Of the steam yacht
NADIA, at the yards Of the Pusey and
Jones Company, to have a new shaft
installed. 1t was reported the NADIA
was a filibustering craft carrying arms
from this country to Honduras for the
rebels in that country. She proved to
the contrary however. The fact that
the yacht had been towed into port
by the revenue cutter Mohawk gave
rise to the report that she was a hn-
buster and the search was made to
learn il there were any arms on board.
The Nada is owned by the Interna-
tional Lumber and Development Com
pany and was on its way to Mexico
when it broke down and was found by
the Mohawk It will proceed to Key
West as soon as repaired.

IN FAIRNESS THIS SHOULD BE SAID.

a MONG the United States senators whose
terms expired with the Sixteth Congress
yesterday is J. Frank Alice, who was the senior
senator from Delaware. He would be bitter
partisan, an intense factionalst and most I'M
fair man who, knowing ex-senator Alee's record
at Washington, would deny that he has served
well his State. His record in the Senate is one
that many more conspicuous and pretentious
senators might feel proud Of. He was attentive to
all his duties and not only active but successful
in securing recognition for his State In all mat
tiers he was loyal supporter of President Roose-
Welt and never wavered in his allegiance to the
administration He was esteemed by his fellow
senators and enjoyed the confidence of the Presi-
dent To his good work in tho Senate should be
added the credit that is due him for having made
the first moves that resulted in the reorganiza-
ton of the party and the great success it had at
tho last election Had he not declared himself
when, and as he did against factionasm and two
organizations, and favored a continuation of the
then existing condition in the party, it is more
than probable that it would have gone down to
defeat last November and wauld again be without
representation in the Senate. There are many
things for which the State and party should feel
under obligation TO ex-senator Alice and to
withhold an expression of that fact even bv
those who have not always agreed with him.

No Grade CROSSING.

Editor The Evening Journal
Referring to a bill which I see has been
offered In the Legislator compelling the
railroads 10 build and MAINTAIN a public
road over their tracks at stanton, I wish
to call your attention to the fact that dur
ing the last few years the public road did
cross over at grade at this place, there
were no less than six or eight lives lost
and by crossing at grade again IL would
he placing the traffic IN the same danger
which they had experienced only a few
years back. and also IL would be an i'm
position to ask the railroad TO 60 to such
expense after they had gone to a very
great amount of trouble and expense to
build what the public asked for "a sub
way which saves all danger TO life and
property The subway being at least thirty
feet wide there is ample room to make "A
raised road, say nine feet wide on one
side and four feet high, which would leave
ten feet headway. That would leave any
team through in time Of high water which
only happens once in about fifteen months

TRANS Running Too Fast

Editor The Evening journal
Time and again attention has been
called to the extreme danger Of run
ming trains too fast, yet the officials
OF the various railroad companies, as
well as the engineers. seem little in
clined to be rational enough TO heed
such warning. The results are num-
erous wrecks and enormous loss Of life.
whereas such catastrophes I'm many in
stances could be avoided by the exer-
else OF a little care and a less desire
on the part of some people to make
unnecessarily quick time between
cities Even II the demand is made in
the future by a few people to have
trains run at breal1neck speed, at the
risk of the lives Of trainload Of pas
sengers, the officials Of the companies
should exercise Judgment and vii
power enough to prevent any such
speed runs. The engineers, too, should
think OF the responsibility that rests
on their shoulders and refrain from
being careless in the matter of running
trains. There have been entirely too
many serious wrecks throughout the
country since the first OF the year. and
some decided action should be taken
with a view Of ending the terrible rail-
road slaughters.
