Hardly Changed Since the Days Of the
Early Metal Workers.
As the first fireplace was circle of
stones at the mouth of cave. so the
first poker was piece of green stick.
It was necessary to have something to
knock the logs together with when
they began to burn through the mid
die. and as primitive man did not wear
boots he could not use them to kick
the hot embers into place, as some of
us do to this day. That was refine
ment. II 1t can be so called. which
came later. The green stick lasted un.
til the age of iron and was then super,
seded by handy piece of metal which
possessed the advantage of being
stronger and of not burning away.
But since the days of the early work

RAILROADS tell THEIR
SIDE OF Wages STORY

New YOrk, rep. Z0.-HopIeSentd
tives of the eastern railroads issued
today a pamphlet which gives thx
railroads side of the wage question
The occasion for this !s the recent
action of the trainmen and conduc
tors in demanding ligher pay and
shorter hours. The principal sub
jects discussed in the pamphlet are
the decrease in freight and passen-
ger rates, the increase in the cost of
operation, and the wages of railroad
employees as compared with the
wages paid in other industries.
The position of the railroads is
that, in the face Of steady decline
In rates and steady advance in the
cost of operation, they are not able
to grant general wage increases in
addition to those already made.
! There were general increases in the
latter part of 1906 and the early part
of 1907, and there was no subse-
quent decrease in the wage rate on
railroads, as there was in other in
dustries, at the time of the 1907
panic.
A statement by Martin A. Knapp,
chairman of the Interstate commerce
commission. in the Annals of the
American Academy Of Political and
Social Science, July 1908, is quoted.
Mr. Knapp said: "Partly because of
the strength of railway labor organ
izations, which for the most part
have been prudently managed by
astute and able leaders, the general
scale of wages in railway service has
been materially higher than in cor.
responding private pursuits. I con-
graduate our railway friends and
the country at large that means have
been devised for carrying this great
industry over this critical period
without attempting q reduction in
wages of railway employees
While freight rates have declined
year by year, the price of everything
railroad buys has gone up. Thus
the railroads have not contributed to
the rise in prices but have suffered
seriously from 1t. Fuel is one ex-
ample of how expenses have increas
ed. While the freight traffic in
creased 14S per cent between 1897
and 1907, on all the railroads in the
United States, and the passenger
traffic increased 126 per cent, the cost
of fuel for locomotives increased 2O7
per cent. Rails, lumber, pipe. &C.
ment, glass,-all structural mater
ials show similar increases.

Saved by Firehies.

The gigantic tropical fireflies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
of most Of the low lying West Indian
islands once proved the salvation of
the city of Santo Domingo. A body of
buccaneers. headed by the notorious
Thomas Cavendish. had laid all their
plans for descent upon the place, in
tending to massacre the Inhabitants
and carry away all the treasure they
conveniently could, and had actually
put of their boats for that purpose.
As they approached the land, however,
rowing with muftled oars. they were
greatly surprised to see an infinite
number Of moving lights In the woods
which fringed the bayou up which
they had to proceed, and. concluding
that the Spaniards knew Of their ap-
proach, they put about and regained
their ship without attempting to land.
