of Enginemen.

NOW YORK, March 15.-An extension
OF time probably will be sought and
granted in the arbitration proceedings
over the controversy between the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen and fifty-four eastern railroads.
Half Of the thirty days allotted under
the law to the arbitration board has al
ready been consumed by witnesses for
the fremen. and w. S. Carter, presi-
dent of the brotherhood. announced to-
day that his statistical expert, W.. J..
Lauck of Washington. probably would
be on the stand all next week. This
would give the railroads only one week to
present their case.
When this situation was brought to the
attention of Judge Chambers, chairman
of the board, he said an extension could
be obtained by consent of both sides.
The roads plan to place two experts on
the stand to Offset Mr.. Laucks deduc-
tlons. The extension probably will be
for thirty days. A halliday sc 5Sion was

Men Under Acid Test There.

The memory of the personalities of the
men. declared Secretary Redfeld. is the
pleasantest recollection of the House of
Representatives. There. he said, one
sees men under test and sometimes an
acid test.
The fires of party passion burn high.
Criticism is both unjust and keen; mis-
understanding is very frequent he de-
clared. s'The House he continued, is a
severe school, but on the whole a just
one, and men are esteemed there quite
truly for what they really are.
The Secretary declared that he had
been mildly rebuked by some for discIaim-
ing any knowledge of entering the Presi-
dents cabinet, and in self-defense plead
ed before his audience that it was only
very few days before the event took
place that he knew he was TO be one of
President Wilson's councillors.
Deciarig that the rush of kilograms
and letters of congratulation had not

him very high expectations, he contin-

Gil table. He said President Wilson had
associated with him group of men
whose patriotism could be depended

The Secretary then explained the work
of his department, which, he said, dealt
with matters not only of land, but the
surface of the sea. the coast o. the sea
and the Bottom of the sea, and the fishes
therein, as well. He declared he intended
