RAILROADS REPLY
TO ENGINE DRIVERS
Commission Hears Rea-
sons Why Companies Cannot
Accede to Demands.

New York. July with the full pre-
sentation of the engineers arguments for
salary increase made. the railroads pre-
sented their case to-day before the arbi-
tration committee. which will decide
whether or not the Eastern railroads
shall increase the pay of their engineers
approximately S.50o.O0o annually.
The demands which the 5000 engineers
have made on the roads are as follows:
First. the adoption of the principle
that wages and rules of service shall be
standardized throughout the Eastern ter
ritory.
Second. the adoption of certain stand
ard rates of pay and certain standard
rules OF service, resulting in increased
compensation to engineers.
Third, the adoption of the principle
that locomotive engineers shall have the
right to operate the motive power when
il is changed from steam to electricity,
or other motive power, and that electric
service shall be governed by the schedule
covering rates of pay and rules of serv-
ice in steam service.
Fourth, that engineers shall have the
right to operate electric or multiple-unit
trains when the same enter upon steam
tracks or tracks formerly operated by
steam. or where trackage rights are
leased TO holding companies.
The railroads in their arguments op-
posed these demands, on the ground that
existing rates Of pay are full and liberal.
that existing rules of service bear some
relation to local conditions, that stand
ardizadon of either rates of pay or rules
of service are not warranted by condi-
ton, and the electric service is not en-
titled. to be paid on steam basis.
In presenting the railroads argument.
President ]. A. Worthington. of the Chi
cago and Alton, made the declaration
that the railroads of the country would
be utterly unable with their present IA
cilities to cope with a trafhc increase
similar to that experienced in 1907.

FAIL TO AGREE
Colonel Can Have His Own Way"
Says Bsllicose Bull Moose
Leader Of Pittsburg.

Oyster Bay. N. Y, July 2z.-After a
copciliatory conference with Col Roose-
welt over the elector muddle In Pennsyl-
vania, ex-senator Finn. belEcose Bull
Moose leader in that State, came away
from Sycamore Hill to-day saying the
ex-President could have his own way IL
he wanted It.
The Pennsylvania fighter. who went to
the mat with the Roosevelt adversaries
in Chicago and has been battling ever
since to straighten out a perplexins
tangle in the keystone State. said that
no friction exists between the colonel
and the Pennsylvania progressives. The
eiector embroglio is to be finally dis
posed of, he explained after the third
party convention.
Finn emerged from the conference
still maintaining that his own scheme
OF running the thirty-eight Roosevelt
and Taft electors on a joint ballot. to be
governed by the State vote in Novem-
Der, is the practically one. While Col
Roosevelt wants strictly third party
ticket with none of his electors running
on the Taft ticket. Finn insisted that
the ex-President's idea does not find
favor with the majority Of Pennsyl-
vania's leader.
we are sure OF carrying the State for
Roosevelt IL We go in with the joint
electoral ballot" declared Finn. I'VE
hope the colonel will come around to our
views Of it. If he does not and insists on
having a distinct third party ticket, with
his own electors on that and no Taft
men on 1t. the Pennsylvania leaders will
acquiesce."
lis there any prospect OF a split in the
progressive party In Pennsylvania?
Finn was asked.
Not the slightest was the quick
response. What we have been trying to
do is to work out the situation to our
best advantage. The colonel is with US
in any plan We decide upon"
You are going to stick to the third
party?' was asked.
The Pennsylvania looked at his in
terrogator from beneath the rim of his
wide-brimmed straw hat. perched over
his eyebrows Sure. I'm going to
stick" he snapped. Everything is going
along all right"

Recent Reports Show Hundreds
Suffer with Kidney Troubles
and Don't Know 1t.

There are scores or nervous. tired,

sides. dizzy spells, weaknesses OF the
bladder frequently causing annoyance
at night, who fail to realize the Sc
riousness OF their troubles until such
conditions as chronic rheumatism, blad-
der troubles. dropsy. diabetes, or even
Bright's disease result.
All this is due to weak, inactive kid
reys. The kidneys are the filterers of
the blood. and no one can be well and

erly. 1t is even more important than
that the bowels move regularly

HOLY NAME UNION
. PLEDGES SUPPORT
TO CLEAN STAGE
Continued from Page One.

gustus ]. Duarte. S. J.. president of the
Aloysius Truth Society. said:
Now that the movement back to the
truer and healthier forms Of theatrical
presentations is well begun, 1t is the
manifest duty Of intelligent criticism to
stimulate the public conscience as well
as to guard the movement against the
extremists in both camps. 1t is the duty
of a vigilant and conscientious press to
act as a sort Of literary DR.. Wiley and
enforce a pure play spirit-equally neces-
sary for the nations moral health as
the pure food law is for the health Of
the body. II is the duty Of an intelligent
press to teach "a common fallacy OF the
last few years that the stage is COM
mercial venture to be exploited for gain
alone And above all, II is the duty OF
an unmuzzled press. as the spokesman
of the people, to repudiate the Insulting
apology not infrequently urged by par
ties financially interested, that the inde-
cent plays We're offered on the princi-
pie Of supply of demand"
The managers of the leading theaters
yesterday afternoon declared without ex-
ception that they were wholly in SYM
pathy with the crusade.
Fred G. Berger. manager of the Column
bia Theater, said yesterday:
Stage Wields Influence.
I'VE have made special efforts to keep
up the highest standard in our stock
productions, because 50 per cent of the
audiences are persons under the age of
twenty. During this formative period.
the stage may exert more influence than
a book or a sermon, for a book may be
dull, and churchgoing is often compul
sorry, but play is always vivid and
makes a powerful impression upon the
youthful fancy"
l.. Stoddard Taylor, Of the Belasc de-
clared he is In sympathy with the cru
sade for the betterment Of the stage,
and believes that the Washington public,
at least, desires drama of the highest
type He points out. however, that re-
form Of the stage should begin with the
education of the public.
James Thatcher, of Polls. is also
pleased with the movement, and al
though his future productions are not
yet announced, he fully expects that
they will come up to all the require
ments of the two organizations.
