ARb|TRATORS GIVE
F|REMEN DECISION
Employees Of the Eastern Rail-
roads Are Granted an In
crease in Pay.

NEW YORK, April 24.-Firemen
| on SIS eastern railroads are granted
an increase in pay estimated at from
10 to II per cent by the award of
the Erdman act arbitration board in
their case, handed down tonight.
Other claims of the firemen are al
lowed, but the demand for two fire.
men on large locomotives is denied
except in case Of necessity.
Another request for which the fire.
| men fought, namely, the STANDARDIZED
ton of wages based on the weight of
locomotives on drivers, was granted,
although the award provides that all
wages that were higher or conditions
that were better than fixed in the
award, shall not be interfered with,
This provision affects number Of
railroads. The firemen were also re-
lleVed Of the duty Of cleaning en-
gines.
The award is considered in the ma
ture of compromise, as the fire.
men asked an increase estimated in
the neighborhood Of Is per cent. The
total amount of wages paid the fire.
men. who number about $4,000, is
$29,000,000, SO that the increase Of
from 10 to IL per cent will cost the
railroads from $2,9OO.00O to $780,
900 annually. The award is effective
May :, this date having been fixed in
accordance with the provisions Of the
Erdman act under which the board
was appointed.
Judge William E. Chambers, chair
man Of the board and his associates,
Albert Phillips, vice president of ,he
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Enginemen and W. w. Atterbury,
third vice president Of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, all declared that che
award had been unanimous, although
it was admitted there had been sew
eral points on which they had been
unable to agree until almost the last
moment
The two-firemen question is dis
posed Of by providing for an adjust
nent commission to decide whether
an extra fireman is necessary. This
commission is empowered to act
where a settlement can not be made
between the 'firemen's commission
and officials Of the railroad. The "ad-
justment commission" the award sets
forth, must consist Of two members
chosen by the four, who shall be
chairman.
The award tonight eliminates ne
got1ations for an increase in wages
and a betterment Of working condi-
tons begun by the firemen ON Feb.
Is, 1912.

been wasted through dishonesty. and
what part through inefficiency. Be-
sides the $4,000, 100000 Of current
revenues spent in operation, there ar.
each year extended hundreds of mil
lions in new construction or the pur-
chase of equipment. What part OF
the money spent for new constru ction
or equipment is efficiently and hon
estly spent? Until we know all this.
We can not know whether rates are
just and reasonable.
Bad Directorates.
The fact that a railroad company
has paid out money has ceased to be
assurance that it was necessarily paid
out. 1nterlocking directorates may
have led to the making of many con-
tracts unnecessarily burdensome to
the railroads.; for on many of o:.y
railroads interlocking .directorates
control a large part Of the expendi-
ture.
u. p. Morgan & Co. and other
bankers have monopoly of selling
many railroads the money they need
at rates Of the bankers own fixing,
Directors Of the steel trust are d.
rectors Of railroad companies, own
ing over one-half of tho total rail-
road mileage in the United States.
Directors of equipment companies
have places likewise on boards Of
railroad companies. The United
States commissioner of corporations
has shown how the Standard Oil
trust compelled nearly every railroad
in the country to purchase it's oil at
extortionate prices.
Before the railroads can know
what expenditures are needful, the
physical valuation act must be sup
plemented by two others: First, in
terlocking directories must be abol-
ished: second. federal bureau Of
railroad costs must be established.
through which the actual and neces-
sary cost Of operating each railroad
can be determined"

BASE BALL.

Sure we want a ball team, at
least one good enough to whip Car
bondale, and I'm willing to give a
dollar or two to get it going" said a
fan" a couple of days ago, and The
Citizen feels sure that there are many
more who feel the same way about
it. Boys get busy. We have the ma
terial for team, and a good one,
too. We understand that there is a
little money in the treasury, and
with what could be collected on a
subscription paper, should give the
team a good start. Carbondale has
organized a city league of six teams,
and seem to have aroused quite some
enthusiasm over the mountain. Haw-
ley, too, has been talking base ball
for quite while and will soon be
asking for chance to wallop Homes
dale, and we certainly want to give
both these towns chance to see how
Honesdale plays the game; for al
though both Carbondale and Hawley
have had several lessons, they bob
up again each year looking for an
other. How about N. B. Spencer for
manager?
The Philadelphia North American
has the following to say of Eddie
Murphy of White Mills, who is max
ing good with the famous Philadel-
phia Athletics: Not since the days
when "Topsey' Hartsell was a star,
have the Athletics had better man
to lead off, than Eddie Murphy. He
is as fast as a soft nosed bullet get
ting down to first and is a good wait
er. He can also punch the ball, be-
ing one Of the most versatile hitters
on the team. Thursday against the
World Champs of Boston) he beat
out two infield taps, drew pass and
smashed the ball for a two bagger."
Eddie has only been in fast COM
pany few months, having Joined the
Athletics in August last year from
Baltimore.
The first prison sentence inflicted
for operating base ball pool was
passed on Thomas Fleming of Phila-
delphia, last week. He was SEN
fenced to three months after confess
ing to operating pool last season.
One of the pools was in operation
in Honesdale the first part of last
season, also during the Worlds SER
les. al
