TO RENEW WAGE CONFERENCES
Central's Employees Hopeful of Their
Demands Being Met.

number of the lodges of the trainmen
and of the divisions of the conductors of
the New York Central Railroad along its
line between New York and Buffalo held
meetings yesterday to prepare, through
Grand Master Lee of the trainmen and
Grand Master Garretson of the conductors,
for a renewal of the negotiations with of
ficials of the road looking to an increase in
wages.
A member of Metropolitan Lodge, No. 595.
Of the New York Central trainmen, said
last evening:
From the present attitude of the New
York Central officials we have good reason
to believe that when the representatives of
the grand lodges come here whatever diff
culties which already may have arisen be-
tween the officials of the road and our
committee will be Strengthened out. Our
demands are moderate, and we know that
the New York Central is now able to afford
an increase that will be commensurate with
the increased cost of living since the last
agreement was made"

HIS LAST ROLLCALL.
Sole Survivor of the Philadelphia
Grays Artillery Corps Dead
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.


Philadelphia, March 13.-Sergeant Harry
l.. Briggs is dead, and with him passes the
artillery corps Of the Philadelphia Grays
of which he was the last surviving mem
Der He went to his final rollcall last
night after two weeks battle with pneu-
monia, which had the advantage of position,
since the veteran had reached tho age of
seventy-one.
At the last two reunions of the artillery
corps Sergeant Briggs was the only mem
Der present. He acted president and
secretary. As secretary he loudly called
his own name. AS president he answered
Here 80 Then he called on Sergeant Briggs
to open the reunion with an invocation.
With the prayer book in his hand and
his eyes reverently turned upward, Ser
geant Briggs poured out the richness Of
his soul in the words:
"And when my time comes to join the de-
parted, oh, my God, I trust that you will
admit me to the ranks of the Grand Army

CANADIAN TRADE
DUTY. OF S22 800, 900.
Misconception Ties Up Tariff
Negotiations.

Washington, March ia general mis-
conception of the provisions of tho United
States tariff is believed to be largely re-
sponsble for the little progress thus far
made in the tariff negotiations between the
American commissioners and the Canadian
authorities In their Ottawa conferences. III
Is learned at the Stat Department that
previous 10 their arrival assertions were
very generally made that the United states
tariff on Canadian products was twice as
high as the Canadian tariff on products OF
the United States. This was shown TO be
an error.
The tariff officers OF the United States
presented official statistics showing that on
the imports from Canada into the united
States for the fiscal year 1909 the average
ad valorem rate on dutiable and free inn
ports was only liz per cent and on duti-
able imports 1914 per cent.
On the other hand, it was shown that
the Canadian average ad valorem rate on
free and dutiable imports from the United
States was 125 per cent, and on dutiable
imports was PAS per cent. The total
DUTY collected by Canada on all imports
from, the United States amounted 10 S22,-
10000
1t was also disclosed that the material
reductions made by the Payne-Aldrich law
on Canadian imports into the United
States were not understood in Canada On
the basis of the fiscal year quoted the re-
duction amounted to more than Sl,0Qoooo'
equivalent to reduction of nearly 10 per
cent. A part of the year quoted was one
of industrial depression, but on the vol
ume of business which is already shown
for the present year the reduction VIII
prove to be much larger
While this was the situation as to Cana
dian products imported into the United
States, it was disclosed that the remission
of duties which the United States would
have received in the year noted If it had
enioyed the benefit of the preferential rates
given France and twelve other countries
would have beer approximately sSO,0o0 On
the basis of this years trade the remission,
in case 1t should be obtained, would amount
to larger sum.

7ersU an East.

Washington March 13-Reports OF the
possibility of a conflict between railroads.
west of Chicago and their engineers ana
fremen attracted more attention here to-
dav. because fols several days there have
been indications of an approaching con-
troversy of similar character. affecting the
ssne Glasses of labor. on the railroads east
of the Mississippi Valley.
REPRESENTATIVES, of these railroads have
been in Washington during the last week
prepared 10 apply 10 Chairman Knapp OIL
the Interstate Commerce Commission anu
Labor Commissioner Charles z. NELL, the
federal mediators under the Erdman act
for the exercise of their good offices 10
avert trouble between the roads and their
fremen and engineers. Curiously enough
important officials of the labor orSanlza-
lions also have been in Washington, al
though they have not thus far dlsclosed
themselves to the mediators
The principal question involved is that OF
wages. Indications seem to be that while
the projected negotiations will lead to con-
cessions the railroads will make such con-
ccssions only under pressure of formal arbi-
traton, and will then put forward the
added expense as the basis of demand for
higher freight and passenger rates.
1t Is probaDle that Nltnln lew udSS 'h0
dispute will be submitted in a formal way
to Chairman Knapp and NJ. Neill with a
request that they undertake the adjustment
Of the controversy. 1t is conceded that if
this Is done it will prove to be one of the
most important controversies the federal
mediators have yet had to consider.
1t is said in we'll informed quarters here
that the railroads have determined infor-
maliy TO insist hereafter on arbitration of
all wage controversies unless they can OBJ
tain settlement of pending disputes without
serious sacrifice.

AIMED At WOODRUFF.
Cobb's Friends Sag Federal
DictdtiOn Not Resented.

ALBANY March 19-The speech Of Senator
Cobb at WATERFOWL last night emphasized
the declaration of independence he made IN
the Senate I'm accepting his election as ma
jority leader. At that time his utterances
were construed mainly as defiance Of the
dictation of Senator Root and Governor
Hughes, but some of Cohbs friends say
that expressions of independence in both
speeches were aimed principally at Chair
man Woodruff of the Republican State
Committee and tho leaders like William
Barnes, jr., of Albany, who stood by Wood
ruff in the recent contest for the Senate
leadership.
In frequent statements Just before the
caucus Cobb seemed to resent the i'm
preston that he was Waaaruf's man or
that his success meant ~afT attempt to
"whitewash" Senator Aids. He emphati-
cally denied that Allds's announcement
that he would not seek the majority leader
shin again In the event Of his acqUittal
was made al his request or for the purpose
of aiding his candidacy. Cobb's friends de-
clare that AIldss motive was purely one of
self-aid
IL the conference between Root and
Woodruff results in an open break and an
open attempt on the part of the Washing
ton leaders TO deprive the Brooklyn leader
! of his Craftsmanship, Republicans here eX-
pressed the opinion that Woodruff could
not depend for aid on the majority of Sena-
tors who stood by him in the fight for
Cobb. Moreover. il is regarded as certain
that all the Senators who voted for Hin
man and Davis the leadership caucus
will side with Root and the Governor in
any issue that may arise regarding the
state craftsmanship.
President Tafts visit to Albany next Sat
urday is regarded as timely. While there
is little expectation that he will touch on
the partys predicament in either Of his
two public speeches here, the Root-HugheS
men expect TO derive encouragement from
his presence and from possible private con
ferences with the legislative leaders, all OF
whom plan TO stay here over the legislative
recess TO see him.
With only two or three days of testi-
mony left this week, interest in the Conger-
Aids bribery Investigation centres on
promised attempts to extend the inquiry
beyond the charges involving Aids. This
matter is of secondary Importance now.
however, for any action that is taken wilt
