DEMANDS MADE BY ENGINEERS
Big Jump in Wages Sought in
 Document Placed Before Rail- rOad-Double For Overtime

The demands which are being made by the railroad engineers of the east have been disc'osed by the formal text of a demand handed into the off, cials of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company by the local heads Of the Brotherhood of To- crease of wages is asked for both passenger and freight engineers based on capacity of engines on a sliding scale. Double pay is demanded for overtime involving a large increa SC over the old rates. Engineers in e:ec- tric service are to be under the same rules and rates of pay as those on steam locomotives. The increase for switching and belt line service is based upon the day. Higher Fay is also demanded in cases of delay. In all cases where there are better work ing conditions and rates of pay tha n those which are demanded the old conditions are to remain. In addition it is provided that points which are not covered in the general demands of the engineers are to be covered and can be taken up by the local commit tees of the order.
 The demands are the same as those of the concerted movement of engin- eers which cover some sixty lines e" st of the Mississippi and north of the Chesapeake 6 Ohio lines, and involves about 5,oOO engineers. On the part of the railroads the matter is now in the hands of a special committee ap- pointed by representatives of the com ed to last several months and follow the lines of other movements of the kind during the last four years west of the Mississippi.

(DanburY NeWs. Feh. 14

Extensive improvements under way in the power plant of the Danbur, and Bethel Street Railway Co. are de. signed to increase the efficiency O: the street railway system in this city and Bethel and also to provide for at lea9t part of the power that will be required for the operation of the Bridgeport and Danbury electric rail way, which is in course of construc- ton.
 The facilities of the power house were increased extensively Q short time ago and when the changes now under way are completed the plan; will be of sufficient power producing capacity lot only to handle the traf- f1c on the local lines with greater ease and to provide against emergencie. that may arise, but to operate cars on the upper end of the Bridgeport line It is possible that eventually the en- tire line between Danbury anG Bridgeport will receive it's power sup ply from this end of the road, but that is said to be a question that has not been determined as yet.

WILD DUCKS CAUGHT BY
 HAND ALONG THE SHORE.
Birds Are Starving and So Weak That They Cannot Escape When
 Pursued.

It is believed that thousands of ducks are dying in the Sound and ad- jacent waters on account of lack of food their feeding grounds being GOV cred with a thick coating of ice The ducks come to the shore and devour the frozen muSsels which the tide leaves bare in some places. When dis turbed they are barely able to get out of the way. The birds are on the verge of starvation. Monday a Mill ford man ran across pair Of black ducks on the shore. He gave chase and caught one of them with his hands, the other got away. They were too weak to fly and nothing but bones and feathers. He took the bird home, fed it and allowed 1t to go when it got strong enough. It is not unSual for ducks to sit on the water in shell tered pools until their feet are frog en into the ice but 1t Is seldom that wild ducks get so weak from lack of food that they cannot fly out of the way of harm.
