DEADLOCkED WITH ROADS
Managers Say That Railroads Are
Unable Financially To Add
Burden OF 1s Per Cent. In
crease In Expenses.

New York.The conference commit
tee OF managers of SO railroads east
of Chicago and north OF the Norfolk
and Western Railroad and their loco
motive engineers arrived at a dead.
lock Monday night over the question
of an increase In and Standardization
OF wages. The managers refused to
accede to the demands of the men ana
the engineers declined to accept this
decision and reafirmed their demands.
As matters now stand it appeared
that the question will have to be
placed before the rank and file of the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers
employed by the railroads for a refer
endum vote as to what the policy of
the engineers shall be. w. s. Stone,
grand chief engineer of the Brother
hood, In a letter to ]. G. Stuart, of the
Erie Railroad, and chairman of the
managers committee, said the engi-
neers could not accept the decision Of
the managers and that If they had
nothing further to offer the matter
would be given into the hands Of the
engineers for decision. Mr.. Stuart re-
piled that the managers could add
nothing to their statement and that he
hoped the members of the Brother
hood would give it full consideration
when submitted to them.
The engineers had requested a
minimum wage of $40 per day for
passenger service, $5.25 per day for
freight service, and substantial in
creases for overtime. They also asked
increases for switch, belt-line and
special engines and specified that all
electrical trains should be manned by
engineers at steam railroad pay. The
managers replied that to acquiesce in
the demands would mean an increase
in wages of about 10 per cent, and
that they were unable financially to
add this burden to their already

UNCLE SAM MAY
warn. MENCANS
Must Live Up to Governments
Constitution.
THE FEDERAL FORCES WEAK
Likely to Lay Down the Same
Principle To Mexico That Was
Done In Cuba and
Nicaragua.

Washington.-Con relgnS
in Mexico City over the Federal de-
feats in Chihuahua. Orozo's success
there is looked upon as quite ominous
and likely to be followed by serious
events throughout the republic, ac-
cording to State Department reports
from the Mexican capital.
The weakness of the Federal forces
in the South is recognized, and zapata
seems to be taking advantage of this
fact. He is reported to be resuming
his fighting in that section.
The federals, following their recent
engagement in Southern Chihuahua,
retreated to ..Torreon in demoralized
condition, and the State Department
reports say the rebels are following
them closely.
The rebel successes have shaken the
confidence of some of the Washington
officials in the easy triumph Of Madero
over his enemies. They are now
recognizing the possibility. of an over
throw of the Madero government and
the grave question is beginning to as
sert itself as to the correct attitude
of the United States in the turmoil and
chaos which probably would follow
the clashing of presidential aspirations
of at least three or four ambitious
Mexican rebel leaders.
While there is still no thought of
armed Intervention in Mexico, atten-
ton is being drawn to the fact that in
Cuba, in Panama, in Nicaragua and
other Central American and West
Indian republics the American govern
| ment has laid down the principle that,
having regular constitutions, the vari-
GUS disturbing elements in those coun-
tries must be obliged to live up to
them; that the government must be
representative of the will of the ma
jority of the people freely expressed,
and that there should be no self
created despotism.
The problem may soon be presented
as to whether some such representa-
lions may not have to be made to the
ambitious aspirant for executive pow
er in Mexico in the event of Madero's
overthrow Even in such case; how
ever, it is confidently believed here
there will be no necessity for an IN
vasion of Mexico or for the exercise
of anything more than moral suasion
such as has been potent in the case
Of other disturbed Latin-American re.
publics.

SOFT COAL Miners
WILL NOT STRIKE
Satisfactory agreement on
Wage Question Reached.
ANTHRACITE WORK 70 STOP
The BItumInous Miners Are To Re
osIvs An Increase In Pay and
All Other Demands Are
Waived.

Cleveland, O.--Peace, by agreement,
was declared In the bituminous coal
aeids Friday. Immediately atterNard
an order was issued by the anthracite
strike committee that the $4,000
miners in those fields suspend work
his week. 1t can be authoritatively
stated. however, that negotiations win
begin within week for settlement
In the anthracite 1ields.
There will be short suspension in
the bituminous fields to permit the
operators and miners Of the different
states to settle their internal differ
snces. but, according to the agreement
made in the, joint conference, no
change In present conditions win be
made that win influence the cost OF
mining over the agreement reached
here or keep the miners from earning
- much as they can.
BY agreement the miners will re-
ceive an increase of five cents a ton
for screen coal, three cents for mine
run. 5.5 per cent. for day labor and
dead work, and five hours work on
Saturday with FIVE hours pay. All
the other demands are waived.
There will be suspension in the
bituminous fields in all states except
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas
and Oklahoma, where the miners have
an agreement to work, pending nego-
tiations for a contract. About 100000
union men are benefited.
So far as the anthracite situation is
concerned, there is no need for SAD
sational statements Of expected dis
tress for consumers. It is confidently
declared here that the suspension will
not last long
John T. Dempsey, Of Scranton;
Thomas Kennedy, of Hazleton, and
John Fahy, of Shamokin, president Of
the union anthracite districts, sent q
telegram to George r, Baer, president
and operator, proposing the terms
upon which the miners were willing tc
resume negotiations. The reply from
Mr.. Baer was eagerly awaited.
eff the plan is adopted, there will
not be any necessity. of third party
bringing us together" said Mr.. Demp.
sey.
All Of the anthracite union men took
the position that any offer of recon
sidering the. differences should come
from the operators. When the last
conference was adjourned in New
York on March IS, the miners say, tbs
operators made 1t impossible to con
tinue because it was contended thai
"the miners should first abandon theil
demands and then negotiate.
A report from New York that the
operators were not disposed absolutely
to refuse all the demands, but were
willing, perhaps, to grant slight in
crease in pay was thought to have
done much toward creating desire
among the miners to make the sus
pension as short as possible.
