ASKS ENGINEERS PAY EQUAL TO TASK

Local railroad men are greatly in
terested in the sessions of the arbitra-
tion board of seven men now sitting
in New York TO adjust the wage con
troversy between the railroad engi-
neers and the railroad companies. The
arbitrators yesterday listened 10 a
mass of testimony so technical at
times that they had TO ask for ex-
plantations of the much involved
claims on the part of one and the
objections on the part Of the other
Warren S. Stone. Grand Chief of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, advanced four reasons for the
the increase of pay demanded by the
engineers. These were primarily
based on responsibility. skill and ef-
ficiency, hazard and the service re-
quired. He contended that a greater
congestion Of population had brought
about a greater complexity of tracks
and signals, and that this had led
to a greater strain on the men.
OF the sixteen hour law he made a
frank confession. lie said that he
had been one of the prime movers
in getting that law on the statutes.
Then he had found that it did not
get results. at least not the results
that the engineers had wanted. There
would have to be some new solution
of the problem. This solution, he
said, lay in an increase OF wages and
a Standardization of pay.
Also he believed that an engineers S
pay should begin when his RESPONSE
bility begins He cited cases when
an engineer would be waiting useless
ly before his train started, and that
frequently he would be kept waiting
on duty, but unrecompensed, after
the run had been finished
R. A. Worthington, President of the
Chicago and Alton, replied for the
railroad interests.
There is no disposition" said Mr..
Worthington, ION the part of the rail-
roads, to make the conditions of SER
vice to its engineers or to any of
the other employees in the service
unduly burdensome. 1t might appear
from what has been said that the rail
road managements enforced railroad
rules of discipline and the various re-
strictions in service unduly harshly.
] am quite sure, speaking for the fifty
two railroads east of Chicago. that
none OF the railroad managements
have any such thought"
Mr.. Worthington then introduced
charts to show that since 1900 the
pay between engineers and that of
other employees had run along uni
form lines; further that the engineers

FISHING LICENSE
For Nom Residents Being Considered
by Fish and Game Dept.

The State has for some years had a
nonresident hunting license and now
the commissioners of inland fisheries
and game are considering the advisa-
bility of recommending that the 18th
Legislature pass a law providing for a
fishing license for non residents.
This new scheme has been COM
mended by many anglers both from
witnin and without the State. Most of
the correspondents suggest a tax of
either 81 or 81 and that this money be
added to the fund for the propagation
of fish. one enthusiast believes that
the revenue from the new source would
be large enough to permit of all the
first class fishing grounds being kept
open for longer period each year, as
the money would give additional hsh
hatcheries to keep up the supply.
Eleven states, chiefly in the Rocky
Mountains and the Plains regions have
a. the present time adopted some form
of angling license. pioneer state IN
this line was Nebraska. which in 1901
required the same license Tor hsfhhs
as for hunting, either by residents or
non residents. Idaho and Montana lol-
lowed in 1905. but the Montana incense
proved unpopular and was repealed az
the following session of the Leglsia-
lure. only to be reenacted in 1909. The IL
states which now have hook ana me
licenses. with the dates of adoption OF
the law. are as follows: Arkansas, lSlI'
Colorado 1909; idaho, 1905. Minnesota
1911: Montana, 1905; Nebraska, l9ol'
OREGON. 1863; South Dakota, 1871 Utah,
1907; Wisconsin. 1909; Wyoming, 1911.
Licenses are required of nen-resl-
dents only in Arkansas, Colorado Min
nesota, South Dakota, Wisconsin ana
wyoming. Those in Arkansas are To-
cal and are limited to two or three
counties The fee is usually 81 but
sometimes is more. The object mas
been net to prohibit fishing but to re-
quire those who enjoy the sport TO
contribute toward the expense OF state
care and hatcheries.
The commissioners have not yet de-
cided whether or not to recommend IN
their annual report nom resident
anglers license but they viii be pleas
ed. meanwhile, to receive communica-
tons from anyone interested in the
matter.
such bill is likely, however, to be
presented to the next Legislature,
whether recommended by the depart
ment or not, for nonresident fsher-
men are very enthusiastic over the
matter and are urging the passage OF
such a measure, both for their own
protection and for the added revenue
that they believe it would bring to the
department, insuring additional efforts
along the line of fish culture
