MIR. KIPLING AS A CUB
REPORTER.

Zone day, back yonder in the
discard of years-it was less than
twenty years ago, if you're asking
for exactness-when got down to
the city room of the Chronicle office
in San Francisco was reporter
on the paper-I noticed sitting over
in a corner with his hands thrust a
bit gloomily into the pockets of his
somewhat shabby sack coat a little,
,unty, bristly haired man, with
pair of large but weak-looking eyes
masked by the lenses of an en-
ormous pair of spectacles," said
newspaper man, (now employed in
Washington), who has labored i'll
so manly widely strewn vineyards
that he can't remember the names
of some of them.
"The runty man with the big
spectacles looked just about as I'M

looks when he's sitting around

so;
Oft times the heavy tempests round
me blow,
And DER my soul the waves and
pillows go.
But when the storm beats loudest,

Aloud for help, the Master standeth

And whispers to my soul: 90! it

the new man. Different from the

editor. We'll, see here, Kippering

makes me think of herring, you
know, and the city editor grinned
sardonically at his witticisn, or

We're going to uncover him. Not

idea. Look him over. Then report
back to me.
"The new man nodded.
'Er-wl1at's your full name?'
inquired the city editor, producing
the little book in which he inscribed
the names of the always coming and
going reporters.
"Rudyard Kipling,' said the
new man.
'Rud-Rud-wlat?' asked the
city editor.
'Rudyard; R-u-d-y-a-r-d, Rud-

and smiling his decidedly winning
smile.
"'Gosh, that's the peculiarest lit
tie name, so to speak, that I ever
did stack up against mumbled the
city editor as he wrote it down in
his little book. How can anybody
be expected to remember name

enc awful soreness on the world
and everybody in it, including him
self. He was just an old-fashioned
two-handed city editor with kick
in each hand, that's all; SO let it 60
at that.
THE Chronicle had pretty big
city staff then, as it always has had.
The city editor called the reporters
up in turn and dished out their as
signments. He had a glowl for
each of 'em about the stuff they had
in the paper that morning. The
stuff was inadequate, idiotic, incon-
plete or some thing-that city editor
had wallop for each of them as
they lounged up to his desk; and
one man, who had been beat on an
inconsequential feature of the pre-
vious days sizeable story by one of
the other papers, got sure
enough jolting from the grabbed
city editor. But the jolted one only
grinned We were all used to the
old man and his rawlings didn't scar
very deeply.
THE little new man with the
large spectacles took it all in with
mouth agape. He sat in his corner
and twiddled his nervous hands in
lis shabby sack coat pocket and
waited for his assignment. His
turn came when all of the other
men had been provided with stunts.
Then the city editor looked up with
his customary glare from his hor-
ribly heaped up desk and glanced
over at the new man.
'Kippering -er- Happening
Kipsing-oh, yes, Kipling-Kip-
llng's right isn't it?' the city editor
srowled at the new man.

new man, getting to his feet and
walking over to the city editors
desk.

man. But maybe | don't know

"'Well, you can pick it up, can't
you?' demanded the city editor, ag-
excessively. This is America, you
know. It's not-er-Australia, or
Samoa, or-where is it they tell me
you've been working on the pa
pers?'
In India, replied the runty
man, who didn't seem to have much
of a gift for CAB. But he smiled
rather an engaging smile over the
almost comic crustiness of the city
editor.

city editor. India. HUH What

Issue a Pamphlet Presenting
Their Views on the
Wage Question.
FREQUENT RAISES MADE
CLAIM DECREASES IN FREIGHT
AND PASSENGER RATES AND
THE INCREASE IN THE COST OF
OPERATION.

New York, March 1.-Representa-
tives of the Eastern railroads have is
sued pamphlet which gives the rail
roads side of the wage question. The
occasion for this is the recent action
of the trainmen and conductors in de-
handing higher pay and shorter hours.
The principal subjects discussed in
the pamphlet are the decrease in
freight and passenger rates, the in
crease in the cost of operation, and
the wages of railroad employees as
compared with the wages paid in 9TH
er industries.
The position of the railroads is that,
in the face of steady decline in rates
and a steady advance in the cost OF
operation. they are not able to grant
general wage increases in addition to
those already made. There were gen
eral increases in the latter part or
1906 and the early part Of 1907, and
there was no subsequent decrease in
the wage rate on railroads, as there
was in other industries, at the time
of the 1907 panic.
Statement by Knapp.
A statement by Martin A. Knapp.
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, in the annals of the Am
erican Academy of Political and So
cial Science, July 1908. is quoted. Mr..
Knapp said: Partly because of the
strength of railway labor Organiza-
tons. which for the most part have
been prudently managed by astute
and able leaders. the general scale of
wages in railway service has been ma
terially higher than in corresponding
private pursuits. l congratulate our
railway friends and the country at
large that means have been devised
for carrying this great industry over
this critical period without attempt
ing a reduction in wages Of railway
employees"
While freight rates have declined
year by year, the price of everything
a railroad buys has gone uD. Thus
the rise in prices but have suffered
seriously from it. Fuel is one example
of how expenses have increased.
While the freight traffic increased 14S
percent between 1897 and 1907. on all
the railroads in the United States, and
the passenger traffic increased 1876
percent, the cost of fuel fCl' locomo-
tives increased POT percent. Rails,
lumber. pipe, cement, glass-all struc-
tural materials show similar in
creaSeS.
Periodical Advances.
The price of labor has moved up
ward along with all other prices, per-
iddical advances in wages having been
made by the railroads. The average
yearly earnings of railroad employees,
including laborers, according to the
latest report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. amount to
$641. The average yearly earnings of
trainmen, including enginemen, fire
men and conductors, on the Eastern
railroads. according to the same re-
port, are $9OS. Skilled workingmen
in other industries, according to the
report Of the Massachusetts State La
Dor Bureau. earned the following
amounts in 1907:
