STATEMENT BY RAILROADS.
Deny Refusal Due to Inability to Obtain
Higher Freight Rates.

New York, March 29.--The conference
committee of the managers of the east
ern railroads in a statement last night
deny that their refusal to grant their
locomotive engineers an increase in wages
was due to the inability of the roads
to obtain an advance in freight rates
The statement followed declaration
of Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
published yesterday, attributing to the
roads that reason for their position in
the wage controversy and stating that
"the public needs an object lesson to
convince them that the roads are en-
titled to more pay for the freight they
carry"
The managers statement alludes at
length to their formal reply to the engi-
neers, In which it was pointed out that
the increases asked would be equivalent
to a lien of SlSS SASS of four per cent.
securities on the railroad properties rep
resented which to that extent would
lessen the ability of the roads to make
improvements and also that net revenues
had been reduced by "the continually in.
creasing expenses of operation"
The statement adds: ''In reply to the
proposition submitted by the engineers,
the committee made its position so clear
that it is incapable of being misunder-
stood The only reference made to the
subject of freight advances was the
statement that the wage advance to
engineers and other employees in 1909
was made in expectation of a much
needed advance in freight rates which
the interstate commerce commission re-
fused to allow 1t was
stated in the reply to the engineers that
past history indicates that if these in
creases are given to the engineers, they
will be followed by similar requests
from other employees, which if granted,
would result in actual bankruptcy to
some of the roads and would leave them
as whole unprepared to meet any sud
den increase in the demands for trans
nortation -"

SUFFRAGE BILL FAILED.
Remarkable Change of Front Taken In
the House of Commons

London, March 90. BY vote of 222
to POS, the House of Commons last
night rejected the conciliation bill, which
was before the House on its second read
ing This measure aimed at conferring
the right to vote to every woman pos
sessed of the household qualification. and
would enfranchIse 100000 women.
The announcement of the result was
received with deafening cheers. Last
year similar bill passed the second
reading stages by a vote of 255 to So
on non-partisan division and was re-
ferred to committee of the whole
House, making no further progress. The
astounding reversal in the views of the
members which has since taken place
is attributed to the strong resentment
aroused by the window smashing tactics
of the militant suffragists.
The bill is a private measure, not
backed by the government, and in re-
cording their vote, the members were
not restrained by party considerations.

Associate Justice A. D. Land of the

To the Voters of this Supreme Court District:
My opponent, Judge Lynn K. Wat

the State acceptably. For that reason,
l will put an end to the discussion by
stating that, if reelected Supreme
Judge, l will neither apply for nor &C
