RAILROADS. POSITION
On the Wage Question Outlined In a
Pamphlet Issued In New
York Today.
(Herald Specially

. New York, Feb 25.-Representa-
tives of the eastern railroads issued
today pamphlet which gives the
railroads side of the wage question.
The reason for this is the recent ac-
ton of the trainmen and conductors
in demanding higher pay and shorter
hours. The principal subjects dis
cussed in the pamphlet are the de-
crease in freight and passenger 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 railroad 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 general Increases in the latter
part of 1906 and the early part of
1907, and there was no subsequent de-
crease in the wage rate on railroads,
as there was in other industries, at
the time of the 1907 panic.
A statement by Martin A Knapp,
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions, 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 organi
cation, which for the most part has
been prudently managed by astute
and able leaders, the general scale
of wages in railway service has been
materially higher than in correspond
ing private pursuits. l congratulate
our railway friends and the country
at large that means have been de-
vised for carrying this great industry
over this critical period without at
tempting a reduction in wages of rail- |
way employees"
While freight rates have declined |
year by year. the price of everything
a railroad buys has gone up. Thus |
the railroads have not contributed to
the rise in prices, but have suffered |
seriously from it. Fuel is one eX
ample of how expenses have increas- |
ed While the freight traffic increased |
14S per cent between 1897 and 1907,
on all the railroads in the United |
States, and the passenger traffic in
creased 126 per cent, the cost of fuel |
for locomotives increased 207 per cent
Rails, lumber, pipe, cement, glass
all structural materials show similar
increases.
The price of labor has moved up-1
ward along with all other prices, pc
riodical advances in wages having
been made by the railroads. The |
average yearly earnings of railroad
employees, including laborers, accord
ing to the latest report issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
amounts to $64l. The average yearly |
earnings of trainmen, including en-
ginemen, firemen and conductors on
the easter railroads, according to the
same report, are s9Os. Skilled work
ingmen in other industries, according
to the report of the Massachusetts
State Labor Bureau, earned the fol
lowing amounts in 1907:
Boots and shoes, $564.3O.
Carpeting, s457.69.
Cotton goods, $442.92.
Machines and machinery, s613.12.
Metals and Metallic goods, $569.39.
Leather, s52O.32
Paper, $497.22.
Wooden goods, $463.95.

At the station he was absolutely non

he was trying to dispose Of it for some
poor woman.
The infant was sent to Bellevue and
the physician locked up. An hour
later Che prisoner was found to be i'll
and an ambulance was called. DR..
Broglia, who responded, said he was
suffering from acute cirrhosis of the
liver and was in a serious condition.
Not long after the removal OF the
doctor, two women visited the police
station. They inquired about the
doctor, said he had been i'll and that
the child belonged to wealthy family
on Long Island.
They, too, refused to reveal the
identity of the parent or parents OF the
child.
At the office of the physician in west

TUESDAY NIGHTS STORM.

Reports from seaside resorts in the
vicinity OF Norfolk yesterday seem to
indicate that lives were lost in the ter
rife squall that swept Hampton Roads
and the lower Chesapeake Tuesday
night. A number OF unidentified mo-
tor boats and small yachts were report
ed as being caught in the storm and
none of them is known to have reached
safety. Cottagers at Willoughby Beach,
opposite Old Point Comfort, are conf
dent that some OF the boats they saw
struggling in the 50-mile gale were
swamped. A two-masted schooner
capsized and came ashore at Willough-
by. No sign of the crew has been
seen. The Hampton Roads Yacht
Club reports that several boats were In
distress within view OF the clubhouse.
w. r. Johnson, \. Martin and j.
Haynes, composing a fishing party
from Isle OF Wight county, had mar
row escape when HoughtOn's fishhouse
at Willoughby was blown over. The
men we're in 4 small gasoline auxiliary
canoe when the fishery tumbled over
on them. The men were at the time
cooking with gasoline and their stove
being overturned, set fire to the canoe.
One man had TO jump overheard and
the others barely had time to get off
before the boat went completely under
water. All three of the pleasure seek
ers lost their clothing.
Another gasoline auxiliary was also
caught under the fishhouse as it blew
over and one of the occupants, Harry
Powell, machinist, sustained frac,
ture of the hip. The boat occupied
by Messrs. Powell, Cotton and Taylor
also took fire from burning gasoline
but her sinking saved her from total
destruction.

FUGITIVE CAPTURED.

Frank Moore, alleged murderer and
fugitive from the Tennessee penitentiary
from which it is said he escaped, was
arrested by Policeman +. X. Stratton
near the Union railroad station in
Charlottesville late yesterday afternoon

rant. When captured Moore remarked
that it was d good thing for
Strattnn he had lost his pistol. " He

Jail.

Tenn, being wanted for the murder OF

the latter was unarmed and begging
for his life.
1t is said that Moore's record includes
Incarceration in the Tennessee peni-
jentiary for theft and his escape from
that institution.

WILL LET WAGES ALONE.

Now that the Pennsylvania Railroad
wage dispute is settled, officials of other
lines are predicting that President
McCrea will discontinue the policy OF
maintaining higher standard Of pay
than that prevailing on most roads.
Among those who discussed the sub
ect in Philadelphia on Tuesday were ex-
perts connected with the Baltimore and
Ohio, the Philadelphia and Reading
and the Lehigh Valley. These asserted
that the Pennsylvania had kept other
companies in hot water" for years,
their managers being constantly in a
state OF fear lest at any time they be
confronted with demands that would
seriously affect their corporation s
finances.
For this reason. it was said also that
the railroads OF the country were
anxious that the Pennsylvania should
refuse to yield to demands that meant
increased wages. This the Pennsyl-
vania did. 1t is maintained that Mr..
McCrea and his successors will let the
wage scale stand as it is, that no more
voluntary increases will be made, at
least not until other lines have reached
the Pennsylyania'S higher wage level.
Thereafter, say the officials referred
to, the Pennsylvania will be found do
ing what the other roads do and moth
ing more. And thus was killed the
goose that laid the golden egg.

stream passed into the church, and
Rev. Matthew A. Hand, the rector;
Rev. Joseph Murphy and Rev. Father
Grace were in constant attendance dur
ing the entire day. In the evening
the crowds we're such that before the
opening of the services in honor OF
the saint it was impossible to get
standing room on the pavement OF the
edific.
Father Hand made a short address,
explaining the devotion of St. Anne,
who was the mother OF the Blessed
Virgin, and urging all present to pray
with faith for the iavors they desired,
He also made mention OF the rare
relic Of St. Anne, a piece of the wrist
bone OF the saint Fully 10000 per
sons approached the altar to kiss the
relic at the close Of the services and it
was estimated that more than 10000
did so during the entire day.

Issues Before the People.

New York July 2S.-"The four issues
before the American people this year
direct primaries, congressional organi-
zation, railway regulation and conser-
vation-are all one and the same; the
perpetually recurring issue between
oligarcly and democracy.
In this way the Outlook in its current
issue sums up an editorial on the
coming campaign.
Although not signed 10y Theodore
Roosevelt, and not written in his char
acteristic style, the article is known to
to express in many respects his views,
and there is good reason to believe that
he was consulted in its preparation.
THE paramount issue" says the
article, on which the American people
will have TO vote in the campaign this
fall is not between the republican and
democratic parties; between protection
and free trade; between Ballinger and
anti-Ballinger. 1t is between oligarchy
and democracy.

thronged The edifc during the entire
day and prayed with a ieryent faith.
As they walked up the aisle, many OF
them with difficulty, from the sad ex-
