All Look Toward ington.


NEW YORK, July 14.-Labor lead
ers and railroad heads looked toward
Washington today, hopeful of a fa-
vorable outcome of the conference
with President Wilson. through which
officers of the national civic fedora
ton, railroad representatives and Of
ficers of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and Order of Railway Con-
ductors were to seek a solution of
the crisis involving the demand for
higher wages by 100000 men on As
Eastern roads.
The Eastern railroads involved in
the wage controversy with the train
men and conductors issued a state
ment this afternoon through the con-
ference committee of managers say
ing that they were willing to arbi-
trate the questions at issue under the
provisions of the Newlands bill now
before Congress, but were still unwill-
ing to proceed under the Erdman act.
This is the roads reply to the ulti-
matum submitted the unions yes
terday.
The statement says that the com
mittee's policy has never changed,
that it has consistently refused to be
'coerced through the threats of
strikes into paying railroad employ
ees wages out of all proportion to the
duties performed. The managers
have been consistent in contending
that the Erdman act does not pro-

OFFICERS ANXIOUS TO
GET HOME FROM TEXAS

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Evidently
weary of the routine of drills and
maneuvres in fat, hot and uninter-
esting country many army officers at
tached to the United States troops
patrolling the Mexican border are
writing to friends here earnestly in
quiring when they are to be relieved
from service at Texas City.
The latest objections to the reten-
tion of the camp advanced by some of
these officers is the alleged danger of
its being drowned out during the hur-
ricane season, which they assert,
seems to be due every thirteen years.

During May the railways Of the
United States received for their SER
vices to the public an average Of S.
230, 900 day; It cost to runtheir trains
and for other expenses of operation
S. 92o, 900 a day; their taxes were
s341 500 n day; their operating in
come Sf.972,322 a day for the 220,-
S97 miles of line reporting. or at the
rate of $3.50 for each mile OF line for
each day. Thus for every six dollars
of their earnings which remained
avaf1able for rentals, interest on bonds
appropriations for betterments, I'M
provements and new construction, and
for dividends, the railways had to pay
more than one dollar in taxes.
All of these amounts are suhstan-
TALLY greater than the similar returns
for May, 1912. They are from the
summary of the earnings and expenses
compiled by the bureau of railway
economics from the monthly reports
of the steam railways of the United
States to the interstate commerce
commission. They include over 95 per
cent Of the mileage and earnings of
all of the railways Of the country.

stretch a cord from your house 10

stretch another cord. Draw line
on the ground with n sharp stick
along the cords. Take up the cords,
hitch up your team, and plow out a
few burrows between lines, then dig
down about eighteen inches, and fill
in with small stones picked off the
plowed ground around the farm Put
good layer of sand on top. and oyu
have a path always dry and never
