RAILROADS ANSWER
ENGINEERS DEMAND
Brief Is Filled Showing That the En-
gineers Are Well Enough
Paid.

New York, Sept 1O.-The brief of
the railroads in the Eastern territory
in answer to the demands of the Bro
therhood of Locomotive Engineers for
increased pay aggregating s7500.000
a year is scheduled to be answered to-
day by the special arbitration commits
sion. presided over by Oscar S. Straus
which heard evidence for two weeks
at Manhattan Beach during August
The brief for the railroads, prepar-
ed by William Mckinley Duncan, sets
forth that Standardization of rates of
pay and rules of service is impractic-
able and inequitable, that railroad en-
ployes are better paid than workers
in other occupations, that engineers as
a class receive higher wages than any
other class of railroad workers and
that nothing has occurred since the
last adjustment of wages to justify a
further increase. Mr. Duncan declar-
ed that the demands of the engineers
relative to the exclusive operation of
electric motive power to be unjust
and contrary to public policy. To grant
the demands for higher wages, he ar
gued, would throw some roads into in
solyeney and place a greater burden
upon a part of the population whose
compensation is now far below that
of the engineers.

STRIKING MINERS
MEET AT CAPITAL

Charleston, Sept. despite the un
Outstanding that no meeting of the
miners was to lie held in this city last
night the city and county authorities
permitted a meeting in front of the
Courthouse where addresses were
made by Harold w. Houston, Socialis-
tic candidate for Governor and also
prosecuting attorney of Kanawha
county Mother" Jones and other So
cialist leaders.
The crowd numbered about 1000, Of
which more than 1000 were miners
from the Kanawha coal fields. The
principal feature Of the meeting was
to protest against the mine guard sys-
TEN, the creation of the mine inyes-
tigation commission and the extent to
which the martial law proclamation
extends.
The United Mine Workers officials.
however, had nothing whatever to do
with the meeting and had urged the
miners to remain at work. Fearing
a repetition of the meeting held sew
eral weeks ago, the outgrowth of
which was a censure of the Governor
for not dismissing mine guards en-
ployed by coal companies, company
OF militia was stationed about the
Capitol grounds to prevent any meet
ing.
The appointment of the mining com
mission was asked for by the United
Mine Workers, but was opposed by
the mine operators. Despite this atti-
tude the Governor named a commits

there was considerable feeling last
night no serious trouble was encount-
cred although several arrests We're
made.

tended yesterday but additional com
panes of militia arrived in the strike

"The law OF this state will be en-
forced, it matters not at what cost,

night in commenting on the situation.

cry under the new emollient treatment
seems to be about as follows:
In people Of sixty and over results
are quite uniform, probably nine
tenths recovering. While at fifty and
over a large majority of all cases yield
to the treatment, below fifty and ap-
preaching forty the percentage is not
hieh-probably not much over half
yielding.
Under thirty the percentage is less

BAND THE SHADE TREES NOW
State EntomoIogist Of Indiana Warns
Against the Deadly Ravages Of
the Red Spider.

G. H. Baldwin, state entomolog1st
of Indiana, says that by taking ad-
vantage Of the tree situation early
this year, Indianapolis owners Of
shade trees may be able to prevent
much OF the annual destruction due
to insects.
"As soon as the earth begins to
warm" Mr.. Baldwin said. the tree
owner should band his trees with
some sticky material. This will ar
rest the upward movement OF the red
spider, one of the worst enemies OF
the shade tree, particularly the elm.
oak, linden and like trees. The
spider hibernates during the winter
in the earth at the roots Of the trees.
and as soon as warm weather sets in
energies and starts up the tree. there
to live all summer. The sticky band
will prevent his early spring journey.
"Of course there will be some red
spiders in the trees, because OF eggs
laid there last summer, but the band
ing will do a lot toward saving the
trees.
The banding will remain on the
boles of the trees during the summer,
and will be valuable in preventing the
caterpillar, the bag worm moth and
the tussock moth from ascending the
trees and eating the leaves. or course
there are many ocoon Of these
moths in the trees now, but the band
ing will go a long way toward pre-
serving the foliage and saving the
trees. BY removing the cocoons in
the trees, the moths can virtually be
e~radicated, If the banding is done.
The tussock moth is especially dan
gerous to trees In Indianapolis, be
cause of the great number, OF the In

Why He Was a Sucker"


William E. Mason of Chicago, at a
banquet given to lawyers and poll
ticians, was called upon for story
and told the following:
"A well-known Illinois politician
was speaking at the same banquet
with a governor of New Jersey some
years ago. The Jersey governor went
into exhaustive figures as to the
wealth, agricultural and manufacture
ing resources of his own state. In
fact, he seemed to lack terminal facil-
ities, for he talked about forty min
utes.
Before he sat down he said: I am
ator from Illinois, and l hope before
he sits down he will tell us why they
are called Suckers"
Our friend from Illinois said:
Mr. POSTMASTER, when l heard the
description of the agricultural prod
ucts of New Jersey l was almost
ashamed to come from the corn belt OF
Illinois, and when he told us Of his
states manufactures, it made Illinois
look small. but l noticed, Mr.. Toast,
master, that you and the gentlemen
about you seemed incredulous-tn
fact l could tell by your expression
that you did not believe a word he
said I want to say to the governor
of New Jersey that believe every
word he said, and that is the reason
am called a sucker"
