MANAGERS AND ENGINEERS FAIL
TO MAKE SETTLEMENT OF
WAGE QUESTION.
FIFTY ROADS AFFECTED
REFERENDUM VOTE WILL BE IA.
KEN BEFORE WALk-ouT
is CONSIDERED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

New York.-The conference commit.
tee of managers OF fifty railroads east
OF Chicago and north Of the Norfolk
& Western railroad and their locomo-
tive engineers arrived at deadlock
over the question of an increase and
Standardization OF wages The man.
ayers refused to accede to the de-
mands of the men and the engineers
declined to accept this decision and
reaffifmed their demands.
II appears that the question will
have to be placed before the rank and
file of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers employed by the railroads
for a referendum vote as to what the
policy of the engineers shall be- w. 5.
Stone, grand chief engineer of the
brotherhood in letter to ]. C. Stuart
of the Erie railroad and chairman OF
the managers committee, said the en-.
gineers could not accept the decision
of the managers and that II they had
nothing further to offer the matter
would be given into the hands of the
engineers for decision.
Mr.. Stuart replied that the manag-
ers could add nothing to the state
meut and that he hoped the members
OF the brotherhood would give 1t full
consideration when submitted to them.
The engineers had requested mini
mum wage of Si.4O per day for passen.
ger service, s5.25 for freight service
and substantial increases for overtime.
They also asked increases for switch,
belt line and special engines, and spe,
cified that all electrical trains be
manned by engineers at steam railroad
prices
The managers replied that TO ac.
quiesce in the demands would mean
an increase in wages OF about nine
teen per cent. and that they were un-
able TO add this burden to their heavy
expenses. After they had read the re
ply OF the managers, the representa-
tiyes OF the engineers conferred and,
1t is said. agreed unanimously that 1t
was not acceptable.
Not until the result Of the Joint con.
ference between the engineers and the
managers has been submitted TO the
rank and file OF the 10000 members Of
the engineers organization will the
question OF a walk-out be considered.

OUR GROWING NATION.
The Wonderful Progress II Has Made
In the Last Fifty Years.

While in 1860 the United States held
low place among the countries in
most Of the great interests. it has n
long lead among the nations in nearly
all Of them today. Although it has
only per cent OF the worlds pouula
ton. it produces 90 per cent of the
worlds wheat. % per cent of lis god.
so per cent Of its silver. 50 per cent
of its manufactures in the aggregate,
81 per cent of its pig iron, 40 per cent
of lis coal. A. per cent of its steel. -
per cent Of its copper, 60 per cent Of
its petroleum. 70 per cent Of its cotton
and 50 per cent Of its corn. while 1t
has 10 per cent Of the worlds railway
mileage.
How has this tremendous expansion
in the countrys activities in the past
half century helped the average wage
Garner, who constitutes the majority
Of the people? Here is one way. and
Il very effective way. of answering this
query. While the number Of deposi

600 in 1910. and the amount Of their

THE COUNTERSlGM.
No One but Mr.. Hernsssy viii Draw
Her Deposit

Affairs of banks are puzzles to the
many if not to the great na jority, for
to know the workings Of bank you
must either own one. work in one or
have the bundle that will give you the
professional lookin.
Small wonder then that Mrs. Mary
ilennessy, relict of Malachy Hennes
~. was appalled, when she found that
there was any formality about having
her money accepted. She was advised
to 20 to one Of the greater institutions
of the city. There she repaired, ready
TO give the cashier man $1,000. which,
she supposed. he would guard like a
financial copper on the beat.
The banking official inquired some
thing about Mrs. Hennessy's affairs
and then asked for her signature.
What for?" said the caller.
"In case you want to draw any
money out"
Il don't want to draw any money
out. I'm giving it to ye to keep. Isn't
this safe place to leave it,"
Certainly, madam, but you may
change your mind about leaving 1t
here"
ME mind is made up"
This was partly on the level and
partly a stall, as Mrs. Hennessy could
not write. She admitted this fact
grudgingly and became bit wrathful
that there should be so much trouble
over the simple matter Of transferring
her money from sock to strong
box.
The cashier took a new tack
"Well, Mrs. Hennessy," he said
NOW that you have indicated that YOU
cannot sign check and that you are
not going to give anybody the power
Of attorney (the phrase was irritating
we shall have to agree upon a pass
word"
whats that?"
"Why, some word or phrase by when
you can identify yourself in case you
want to make Il withdrawal. While
know you. ! might die and somebody
else must know you"
"Ye look healthy. but We can have
yer . vn way. Interduce me 10 some
Of yer pals"
"But they might die"
Isn't it the sickly crowd that ye
are? Are ye up late Of nights much?'
1t took a long time. but the mystery
of banking was eventually revealed
Mrs. uennessy was asked to indicate
for written record just what She
would say in case she should make n
formal demand.
In the safe keeping of this great in
stituton the fact is recorded that if Il
person of certain identity comes up
and says. "Ye omadhon, want me
money" the caller will prove herself
to be Mrs. lIennessy.- Chicago Post.

A SECOND GIBRALTAR.
In Pearl Harbor We viii Have an I'M
preamble Naval Base.

In Pearl Harbor We viii Have an I'M
pregnabIe Naval Base.
BY midsummer or early fall it is ex-
the approaches to Pearl harbor will be
completed, and then the United States
will have in the Pacific a national de-
Tense as important and as impregna-
BILE as that Of Great Britain at Gibral-
tar. When completed the work will
have cost about $10,0O0,OOO.
The channel leading into the harbr
has already been cut to depth of thir
ty feet below low tide and will thus
pass some of the cruisers Of the Pacific
station. But the cutting is to continue
until there will be enough water to
float the greatest of the Dreadnoughts.
Pearl harbor is to be the most strong
ly fortified naval base in the Pacific, If
not in the world. The harbor is land
locked and is distant from Honolulu
twelve miles. When the channels to
the east, the middle and the west locks
have been dredgcd the harbor will be
large enough to float the combined ma
vies of the world The work Of con-
struction has been under way more
than twelve years, and 1t was fastened
materially after the Spanish war and
the occupation by the United States Of
the Philippine Islands.
Hidden forts and disappearing guns
Of the latest pattern are to protect the
new harbor. The guns will use smoke
less powder so as to render their dis
covery by an enemy more unlikely than
otherwise would be the case.
The most of the expense in connec.
ton with this great undertaking has
been for the cutting of channel
through one side Of Il coral reef SO thai
vessels can get to deep water inside the
harbor. The coral Is Of the hardest
character. and therefore the work has
been slow. Eut the results will be per.
manent. and there will be no need OF
dredging to keep the channel open.
The solid character of the coral reef
wiz afford a fine foundation for the
craving deck. The drydocl has been
planned on Il large scale 1t is 120 fee
long. 10 feet wide and % feet deep
large enough in every way for any bat
