jackies and blue jackets are enjoying
their shore leave in Callao and Lima
as only sailors can and their excel

all sides. Early this morning the
launches from the fleet began bring
ing in men to the Callao docks in
large numbers, and the visitors scat

points of interest Many of them
came up to Lima some by train and
some by trolley.
No less than 1000 men were ashore
and their conduct was universally ad-
mired. More than 1000 are expected
to come ashore today. The centers
Of attraction in Callao are the Japan
csc shons and the fruit stalls, and
these did a record breaking business.
The men are ENJOYING themselves
thoroughly and spending their money
freely.

ference with representatives of sew

by the officials of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers to consider the
proposal to cut wages on March 1, ac-
-Ording to an announcement made
here today. The proposition was sub
mitted to General Manager Horace
Baker, Of the Queen and Crescent line.
by Assistant Grand Chief Burgess, of
Atlanta, who is here comforting with
the officers of the engineers Of the
brotherhood on that system. Mr. Bur-
CESS said today:
The engineers feel that they have
already borne their share of the bur-
den. The earning capacity has been
decreased by a reduced mileage, upon
which basis they are paid, and they do
not feel that they should be subjected
to an additional reduction in the scale
such as a 10 per cent. cut would ere
ate We have put it UP to the south

tice of our contention. or to recognize
the justice of the claims of the man
agement that such a cut is necessary.
If we are wrong then We are willing
to negotiate for An equitable revision !"
