MAHON ARGUES
FOR INCREASED
WAGES FOR MEN
(Continued from Page one).

wages OF the men. he declared, are
not enough TO afford them the bare
living OF workingman' family, the
expenses of which he figured at $l,ls7
year in an average case. That the
men might be able 10 prepare for
misfortune and lay up something for
old age. he estimated that they ought
TO receive at least $1,000 year.
This, he maintained, the company
is able to pay. and mentioned in sup
port of his contention It's net earn
ings, which were s3,s51,9 04. SO In 1911.
and s4,173,97S02 in 1912. He read a
statement in which he charged that
an undue portion OF the wealth Great
ed by the system was going TO the
stockholders and asserted that rea-
sonable profits could still be paid
even with the lower fare now in
force after the demands OF the men
had been met.
Upon what do you base your con-
demanded Mr.. Brooks.
Have you made any investigation as
to how much the payment OF the
higher wages would cost"
Mr. Mahon admitted that no such

anybody could say the company can
afford 10 pay the increases when no
one has figured the cost. commented
the general manager.
One OF the questions discussed at
length was as TO when any decision
reached by the board should become
operative. Judge Phelan argued for
the time arbitration was agreed upon.
He referred to the eastern rail-
roads case in which he said that
was the award. Chairman Naylon
held that 1t was not necessary TO de-
eide the question at that time, and
so II was dropped temporarily.
The company's request for changes
in the agreement relative to free
transportation and the time during
which claims for shortage In cash
can be made, is being heard by the
arbtrators today.

ess county, New York, who Is lead

rests on deportation. The talk OF In

is an admission by the New York
state authorities that Thaw Is sane,

A sensational and very circumstan-
tfal rumot that Thaw would try to
break jail stirred the authorities last
night. AS a result. Sheriff Hornbeck
added extra guards to the jail stan,
and Thaw will be closely watched.
Only his lawyers will be permitted
TO see him. The source of the rumor
was the presence in town OF two very
