WAGES BASIS Of PROSPERITY
KNAPP FINDS LABOR CoNCILIA-
TORY IN DISPUTES.
Hopes to See Railroads Earnings
Increased-Favors Mediation
Above Arbitration.

Immediately after the National Associa-
day Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission delivered an ad-
dress on Government Mediation in Rail
way Labor Disputes
II DESIRE" said Knapp. ito see our rail-
roads make earnings that will permit them
to pay adequate wages to competent men,
not only because they deserve it, but be-
cause Of the great influence wages in pub
lie emplOyments have upon wages in pri-
vate employment.
THAT is the prosperity which promotes
the welfare and the happiness of all the
people of our country"
Knapp favored mediation in labor dis
putes rather than any other form of set
Element. such as arbitration. Through
mediation, he said, the settlement Is the
result Of each side agreeing to wages and
conditions which left a better feeling on
the part of all concerned than would be
the case In arbitration. BY arbitration
the result is in the nature of court de-
cision, neither side being entirely salts
fed.
Knapp declared that he believes in la
Dor organizations. which he considers
necessary because of the changed condi-
tons of employment. He has found the
representatives Of railway labor organ
izations as conciliatory in settling labor
disputes as are representatives OF rail-
roads

SHOWS SPIRIT OF lEN|ENCY
BAKERY AND CONFECTIONERY
WORKERS UNION GENEROUS.
Suspends Fines and Allows Strikers
in Boston Three Years to Pay
Indebtedness.

A broad spirit of leniency toward local
unions of the craft was manifested today
by the delegates to the thirteenth conven-
ton of the Bakery and Confectionery
Workers International Union in session
at Typographical Temple. AS an instance
of this spirit, the Boston local is indebted
to the international in the sum Of 81 400.
1t was explained that the members of
the local had recently emerged from a big
strike, and the convention thereupon sus-
pended the payment of the Indebtedness
for three years.
Fines imposed upon a number of locals
for not participating in the election of
international officers by the referendum
were suspended.
The matter of establishing an all-around
sick and death benefit feature was post
poned until all the international officers
are present. 1t is expected this matter
will come up for discussion tomorrow.
A motion was made to discontinue the
credit system with locals, and require the
subordinate bodies hereafter to pay for
their supplies as they order Them from
international headquarters. 1t was stated
that Indebtedness of this character to the
amount of 900 is outstanding.

HoM1NG PIGEON FAR AT SEA.
Dropped Exhausted to Vessel OF the
Texas Coast.

Galveston Cor. Houston Post.
Capt. Baker of the Ell Cid. when his ves-
sci arrived In port Saturday, brought
with him a carrier pigeon which he claims
to have picked up at sea $50 miles or
the Texas coast. He says that the bird
dropped to the deck of his steamer early
one morning and that when picked up it
was in complete state of exhaustion.
The unusual fact OF such a bird being
so far from land excited his attention.
and 1t was discovered that the bird had
attached to its leg a silver band bearing
the inscription, NO. 10 r. Pr
There is no way of ascertaining to
whom the bird belongs nor where 1t came
from. Local pigeon fanciers know of no
such record mark or number and have
been unable to find 1t listed In any of
their catalogues.
Whether or not the bird bore a message
when 1t was released Is not known, for
there was no trace Of 1t when the bird
was recovered. Capt Baker said the
bird had had q hard experience, for when
1t dropped Il was In a state Of exhaustion
and could not have gone much farther.
The Ell Cid left the port tonight for New
York. but Capt. Baker has taken good
care of the bird and will endeavor to
ascertain where It comes from and II pos
sible get an explanation as to why 1t
was way out on the gull $50 miles from
the nearest land
