Cleveland, Feb. 22.-Warren S.
Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood

the following statement in connection
with the reported purpose of some
railway companies to order general
reduction in the wages of employees:
"The threatened reduction of the
wages of employees in train service is
absolutely unjustifled from any point
of view. Their pay is based on mile
age basis, practically piece work, and
they are only paid when there are
services to be performed. Wages of
employees In train service fall parallel
with the shrinkage in business, plus
increased living expenses away from
home. When the earnings are $3.50
per month their expense of living
away from home is about Is per cent,

GERMANY NOT SCARED.
Blames British Scheming for the
Near Eastern Situation.
FRESH GROUPING OF POWERS

England Accused of Forming an ~AIli-
ance With Russia, France and Italy
to impose Their Will Upon the Sui
tan of Turkey.
Berlin, Feb. 22.-The foreign office
takes a cool view of the furry among
the diplomats of Europe occasioned
by the porte granting permission to
Austria to survey for a railroad ex-
tension that would make complete
the rail connection with Saloniki,
traversing portion of Turkish terri
tory.
Reports received here from st. Pc
tersburg, Paris and Rome indicate
that at the same time British diplo.
macy was working in those capitals
with the object of causing a fresh
grouping of the powers in Near East
ern affairs by means of which Great
Britain, France, Russia and Italy
would be able to impose their will
upon the sultan and thus maneuver
Austria and Germany into a weaker
position at Constantinople. Great
Britain's ultimate object is believed
to be to produce disorder in Turkish
affairs so that more permanent set
tlement may be reached before Russia
fully RECEIVERS from the effects of her
war with Japan.
The German government has known
for several months past that the cur,
rent British policy included the crea-
ton of the impression in st. Peters
burg that Japan was preparing to re-
new the war. This suggestion, re.
vealed in private letters to member
of the Russian court from persons of
the highest social distinction in Eng
land, was supported by the stiff tone
of the Japanese foreign office in the
recent negotiations relating to from
tier questions in Manchuria. The
nervousness of the Russian court was
utilized by Great Britain to conclude
the Persian and Afghanistan agree
ments and it has now been employed
in obtaining a limited cooperation in
the protests against Austria in Mace
dOnia.
