!. & |. E. ENGINEERS
ARE DISSATISFIED

A question was discussed to great
length at the meeting of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers Sun
day afternoon regarding a problem
which has grown up recently between
the w. & l.. e railroad and the en-
gineers engaged on the Brewster cut
off. The controversy has grown up
on account of a recent edlct of the
railroad which the men consider con-
trary to their rights as union men.
1t has always been the custom in
managing the road that when new
run is to be opened up the oldest
man, that is the one who has been
working for the company longest, IS
entitled to precedence over the other
men. When change of crews is
necessary the oldest man asking for
the run gets it.. Frequent changes
on the Brewster work trains due to
the irregularity of the construction
work has caused much inconvenience
to the men who have the construction
work of the cut off in hand. For
this reason the company issued the
order allowing the first man to speak
for the run to retain it regardless Of
the fact that older men ask for it be-
fore the ten day limit is reached.
AS soon as the order began to have
practical demonstration the men at
once became dissatisfied. 1t was con-
sidered a breach of liberty and trans
gression on their rights. The men
backed by the B. of l.. e. at once be-
gan to make their position felt. A
few days later orders were received
from the headquarters of the road
that should the men persist in their
stand they would all be placed in the
regular pool at Columbia and that a
new set of enginemen would be pro-
cured to finish the work at Brewster
independent of the Massillon crews.
At present affairs hang in this posi-
ton. Several kicks have been reg
istered since but the men are still to
decide what will be done in the mat
ter. 1t Is now up to the action of the
local B. of l.. E. There is no doubt
that the company is ready to carry
out the threat. At the same time it
is not very likely that the men will
risk so much with so little at stake
as to make the fight.

RUGS STOLEN
From North Market ST.
Residence Valued
About $1,000
THREE BALES TAKEN

Oriental rugs, valued at between
5000 and $1,000 were stolen from the
new home of Mr.. and Mrs. W. r.
Timken, 904 North Market street, some
time Saturday night or at an early
hour Sunday morning. The Timken
home is being remodeled and it will
still be some time before it is ready
for occupany and at the present time
persons would have no difficulty in get
ting into the building The rugs were
not the property of the Timkens, but
were taken there Saturday in order
that Mrs Timken might make selec-
ton. They were the property of G..
Siyufy, an Asyrian. who Is an inn
porter of high grade rugs, with his
headquarters In Pittsburg. He usual
iy carries on trips of this kind about
100000 worth of oriental rugs, but
on this occasion he did not have all
OF his samples with him. The rugs
are put up in bales and those not
wanted at the Timken home, where
they we're to be shown Sunday, were
left at the establishment of Klein &.
Heffelman. Saturday afternoon those
that Mr.. ,Siyufy intended to display,
were loaded into one of the Klein &
Heffelman wagons and taken to the
Tiniken home, where they were left
unprotected for the night. Some per-
son entered the plaza and removed
three of the bales.
The matter was reported to the 20
lice Sunday and Detectives Ryan and
Brisbin were assigned to the case.
Owing to the fact that it was Sunday
the detectives could not visit many
of the places where such things would
likely be secreted after being stolen,
but they believe that the guilty par
ties will be apprehended.

The land chiefly valuable for growing forests will
shrink to about 36000000O acres less than one-fh of
the extent of the United States proper Together with
the wood lots which will continue to form part of the
farm land the total forest will amount to approx
mately 4500000O0 acres, fourth of the total land
area.
Will this be sufficient to provide population
of $50 900 people with all the timber needed for
struction ties poles pulp and all the various for
which wood be the only suitable material and
to protect the soil from erosion, regulate the stream
flow and exert it's wholesome influence upon the lives
of the people?
With the exception OF those countries which have

Netherlands the countries with forest of only
20 per cent less show usually marked degree bad

3k per cent of the total; Spain, with 16 cent;
Greece with 13 per cent Eurkey with 20 cent and
Italy, with IA per cent, are good examples.
While the absou te1y necessary for the regula

mined only approximately and indirectly, the

Whether the acreage of improved farm land will in

cases of Bulgaria and Serva These countries while al

the development of of exploitation and the in

From this may infer that country in order to be

inhabitants. The necessary to supply all the wood
needed for home consumption will vary of with
the per capita consumption; and the 100 per 10G

Europe like Germany France.
The minimum for every 100 inhabitants
necessary make country selfsustaning also be
deduced in another way. At present Germany imports
cubic feet of wood from abroad To produce
this amount of timber Germany would have to possess
forest of 100000 in addition to the 35O0O

81 900 of forest in order to meet her own tim
