DOUBT SURROUNDS SITUATION
Grand Chief Stone Declines to Dis
cuss Probable Action of
Employees.

NEW YORK. March 25.-F'ifty rail-
roads. comprising practically all the
lines east of Chicago and north of the
Norfolk ard Western. today refused to
grant an increase in wages demanded by
their locomotive engineers.
The engineers demand. presented Jan
uary -, was for an increase amounting
to about 10 per cent a year. The rail-
roads refusal is based on the assertion
that they are financially unable to bear
the increased expense
The reply was presented today at a
joint meeting of committee representing
the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and twelve vice presidents and general
managers of the railroads

Bankruptcy Is Seen.

Past history indicates that if these
increases are given to the engineers they
VIII be followed by similar requests from
other employees, which. if granted would
result i'll actual bankruptcy to some of
the roads and would leave them as a
whole unprepared to meet any sudden in
crease in the demands for transporta-
ton
The railroads point out that the wage
advance to engineers and other employees
since 1910 was made in expectation of "a
much-needed advance in freight rates,
which the interstate commerce commits
sion declined to allow. Since that period.
they say. enforced reductions of rates
have been more or less continuous and
that other rate reductions are pending
The railroads declare that the fixing of
a standard wage foT the conductors and
trainmen was the result OF crisis which
developed n connection with their de-
mands and should not be taken as a
precedent.
There are many inconsistencies in
standard wage. 1t must be apparent
that all railroads are not equally able to
pay standard rate. The reduc-
ton of the net revenues by the constantly
increasing expenses of opera tons have
so narrowed the margin which is essen
tial to the solvent existence of many of
the railroads that further increases in
operating c9Sts are viewed with grave
concern.

CONFERENCE MAY DECIDE
Union to Await Outcome of Btu

PRESIDENT WHITE OPTIMISTIC
Hopes Means Will Be Found to
Avert Strike or Long Sus-
pension After April /.

ENELAND. Ohio, March 25.-Both
the policy committee and the executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America at a meeting here today de-
cided TO take absolutely no action in the
coal situation at present, pending the out
come of the conference of the operators
and miners of the bituminous fields, which
will be resumed tomorrow
President John p. White informed the
union district presidents, who came not
only from the anthracite fields OF Penn
syivania. but from the bituminous sec
tons all over the country, that the coal
situation was critical, so far as the min
ers were concerned, but he hoped that
some means of averting a strike or even
a prolonged suspension after April I,
when the present wage agreements ex-
pire, would be devised

Amount of Increase.

The railroads point out that the pro-
posed increase will amount to 1858, 792
annually.
This Increase. they say, would be equiv
alent to placing on their properties lien
of S1SS.S4i,S1S of per cent securities,
which would have preference over first
mortgage bonds, and to just that ex-
tent would lessen the ability of the roads
TO make the improvements necessary to
increase the efficiency of their service and
To insure greater safety 70 the public and
employees
The reply continues:
Already the traffic of a growing coun-
try has overtaxed the existing facilities :;
and the heavy burdens incurred through
legislation. large expenditures for i'm
provementS which produced no revenue
and the previous wage increases have
made IL impossible for many of the roads
to provide the added facilities which a
prudent foresight demands

In Memory OF Our Little Darling
Lurlene.

The little crib Is empty now,
The little clothes laid by
A mothers hope, a fathers 10y,
In Deaths cold arms doth lie.
Go, little pilgrim, to they home
On yonder blissful shore;
We miss thee here, but soon will come
Where thou hast gone before.
We had a little treasure once,
She was u JOY and pride;
We loved her-ah, perhaps too WELL
For soon she slept and died.
God needed n more angel child
Amidst His shining band,
And SO He bent with loving smile
And clasped our darling's hand.

|. SUMMER SUGGESTIONS
I. FOR THE MOTHER. ,
ScasOnable Advice on tho Health
OF Children in Hot Weather.

Mothers should be careful not to
overfeed children during tho hot
months. No II requires as much
food in summer as they do in cold
weather. Serve only the lighter and
more easily digested foods, and see
that the milk is kept cool and the
fruit ripe.
1t is quite natural to expect some
disturbance, such as constipation, in
digestion, or summer diarrhoea, Of
ten accompanied by a cold. A mild
laxative at bed time will, in most
cases, carry off the congested waste
from the stomach next morning, and
by cleaning the bowels restore nor
NAL conditions.
Cathartic remedies and purga-
tives should w be used for chill
dren. They are harsh and violent
In their action and tend to upset the
entire system. The combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pep
sin, and sold by druggists for fifty
cents . bottle, is now very generally
used to correct stomach and bowel
trouble. 1t Is mild and pleasant to
the taste and contains no drastic
drug, or narcotic, but acts naturally
and easily, yet most effectively. A
larger bottle, containing more than
twice the quantity, is sold for one
dollar. Ii you have never used
Syrup Pepsin and would like a free
trial bottle, postpaid, write to DR..

FAMOUS SHIP OUT OF NAVY.

comes Detention vessel,
washington Post

Wv oohihSlOH OSl.)
The old wooden Civil War frigate
Lancaster, closely associated with
the nations heroic sea service, has
passed out Of the American navy for
the u~npretentious duty of a detention
ship OF the public health service.
Within a few days she will leave the
Philadelphia navy yard, where she
has been a receiving ship for many
years, FOR the quarantine station at
Reedy Island, In the Delaware river.
A half century's advance in naval ar
chitecture has pushed her into OBJ
livion.
This obsolete old vessel was the
flagship of Rear Admiral George f..
Pearson, commanding the Pacific fleet
during the Civil War. Patrolling the
California coast November 10, 1864,
h peremptorily stopped the steamer
Salvador and seized Thomas T.. Hogg
and seven Of his men Of the Confede-
rate navy, together with many valua-
BILE records.
When the French we're installing
Macmillan as Emperor of Mexico,
the faithful old frigete was sen to
Acapulco to protect American inter-
ests. She performed d similar SER
vice at Callao during the Peruvian
revolution in 1865.
The Lancaster Is q screw vessel Of
5000 tons, and during her war days
was armed with 90 guns.

One Of the regulations which the
American has abroad Is that he can
ALWAYS overtop anything he sees in
Eur, 70 by something he has at home.
An Italian was showing an American
friend about Italy, and had not had
much success In arousing his enthu-
siasm. If he showed the Campanile,
the American said, We've got a
monument in Washington two hun
dred feet higher. If he showed him
the Coliseum he remarked, "The
auditorium at Chicago Is bigger"
Finally the Italian showed him YES
uvius in eruption, and thought sure
ly that must stir his awe. But the
American, after gazing for a moment
at the burning mountain said, "We've
got a waterfall in America that would
put that out in five minutes"
