New York, Dec. S.-Demands for in

so per cent. less than is being paid by
the Western roads. There is no thought
of strike in connection with the de-
mand to be presented"
An important statement bearing on
the attitude of the railroads in the
matter Of increasing wages of their
employees was made this afternoon by
w. C. Brown, president of the New
York Central Railroad, who said that
if any increase in wages was granted
there would have to be an increase in
railroad rates. President Brown said:
'If it is true that there has been an
increase in the cost of living since the
increases in railroad wages in the lat
ter part of 1906 and early in 1907. then
the men are justified in asking for
some further increase at this time. If
no such increase has taken place then
the men cannot expect more pay. me
facts remain to be determined.
"But it cannot be stated too prompt
" or alphabetically that any increase
Whatsoever in wages is Impossible
without a commensurate increase in
railroad rates"

The proclamation Of martial law in
Honduras is the result probably Of a
suspicion at the capital that General
Manuel Bonilla will take advantage OF
the situation in Nicaragua to invade
Honduras with & rebel band and re-
gain the presidency from which he was
deposcd by President Davila with the
aid of President Zelaya Of Nicaragua.
Driven from the presidency Of Hon
duras Bonilla took refuge on the Amer
lean cruiser Chicago April IL, 1907.
Since then he has spent much time in
Mexico, the United States and British
Honduras. On Nov. % last he sailed
from New Orleans for Colon. He is
suspected of intriguing with Guatemala
AMI Salvador with the purpose Of
bringing about revolution in Hon
duras, overthrowing the Davila gov
eminent and then forming a union be-
tween Honduras, Guatemala and Sal
vaGor for an attack on President Ze-
laya's government in Nicaragua.
Against the suspicious are the recent
statement by General Bonilla at New
Orleans that he was out of politics ana
would not make war on Honduras; and
official assertions that Guatemala and
Salvador have no intention Of aiding in
such movement.
on her part Honduras has been
charged with maintaining an alliance
with President Zelaya Of Nicaragua.
The fact that Daviia owes his Office az
President to the aid at critical time
of President Zelaya, gives color to the
suspicion. President Davila denies that
such an alliance exists.
