F1REN1EN VS.. RAILROADS.
Review of the Controversy Which
: Began Last July

New York, Feb. ia crisis will be
reached today when the Eastern rail-
road managers and the committee
representing the hremen, headed by
w. S. Carter, the president of the
Firemen's Brotherhood, meet
The railroads expect the fremen to
announce that their 10000 men in the
Eastern territory have voted to strike
rather than accept the railroads offer
of increased wages, OF of arbitration
before a commission
The railroad controversy with the
fremen dates back to July 1912, when
the Managers committee first met the
employees The hrenen first asked for
an increase of about II per cent
They later modified their request so
per cent Then they made other
changes in their demands, which as
submitted to the men on the strike
ballot, call for an increase in the fire
mems payroll on f1fty-four Eastern
railroads of about 35 per cent
The railroads have taken the posi-
ton that such an increase is neither
warranted by conditions, nor within
their ability to pay, having regard to
all of their obligations. The railroads
offer to apply the award of the recent
engineers arbitration commission to
the firernen's rules and working cOndi-
lions, and to make certain increases
in wages.
The f1renen refused to accept this.
The railroads then offered to arbitrate
the case by a board of seven men.
The firemen again rejected the rail-
roads offer, but came back with a
proposition to arbitrate under the
Erdman Act Such procedure, the
railroads managers pointed out at the
time, could not be accepted.
The strike ballot pledges the men &c
walk out if so advised by their lead
ers, rather than accept the arbitration
offered by the railroads.

DENY SINKING OF THEIR BOATS

New York, Oct. 4.-Officials of the
White Star Line are very much an
noyed over groundless reports that
have been set afloat as to their steam
ships at sea. They will ask the U. S.
government to find the source of the
rumors.
Today it was reported that the Bal
tic was sunk at sea. The White Star
Line denied the report. Yesterday
there was a rumor that the Oceanic
had been sunk off Plymouth. This,
too, proved without foundation.

HUMPHREYS, GEAR Judge" of Seattle,
began his court session yesterday
with a bitter TRADE against his
brother judges who, he declared,
were plotting against them, and
warned the Socialists in court that 1t
would go hard with them if they were
sassy to him.
Before HUMPHREYS resumed SEN
fencing for contempt the violators OF
his injunction against street speak
ing, he sent Judge Smith note
criticizing him for releasing on writ
of habeas corpus two of the eighteen
persons previously sentenced.
Judge HUMPHREYS is disgrace to
the bench" Judge Smith said, bitter
ly. His action in these cases is pub,
lie scandal" The other eight judges
of the Superior Court met to con-
slider the situation. 1t is reported they
decided to take drastic action.
In the morning HUMPHREYS fined
seven persons $100 each and ordered
them to jail until the fines are paid.
Three of the seven were women.
: Mrs. H. F. Spencer, when arraign-
ed, asked: 81 want to know, judge,
what you expect me to do with my
children"
HUMPHREYS grinned. why, ma
DAM" he relied, your babies are like

81 want you to understand my
babies are not cows" screamed Mrs.
Spencer.
Mrs. Catherine Stirtan rebuked the
Judge bitterly. people feel when
they appear before you like Christ
did before Plate" she shouted, and
HUMPHREYS face blanched.
HUMPHREYS made a little speech in
the morning: st is this way" he
said. ''Ybu remember how Judge

Katie Sadler, a street speaker, de-
MED that she had assailed the Judge
in her street speeches, but on the
contrary had praised him as an object
lesson of the need of recall of judges.
To her surprise she was fined only
$40.
"I'l not pay it," she shouted.
Don't get sassy" said the Judge.
"The fine is RENTED anyhow"
Then, waving his hand to the crowd,
he exclaimed: You saw how easy it
was for me to let Kate CO."
After court adjourned HUMPHREYS
said he had not decided what to do
with the hundreds of signers of the
resolutions of defiance" whom he
had not yet cited. ..-.-

SECRECY IN JOURNALISM

Are journalists bound to pro-

which is now of topical interest in
Paris on account of recent legal
case l. Opinion a leading political
and literary weekly, has been
obtaining the views of prominent
Paris newspaper men who also
have had legal training.
Andre rardieu, the political
writer, in talking on the subject
of the divulgation of secrets of
international politics. points out
that. while this cannot expose the
journalist to legal penalties, it may
give rise to very perplexing
case of conscience since to make
such revelations may sometimes be
of great service in the cause of
truth.
Edouard Cunet. who is "a recog-
nizcd authority on the legal aspects
of journalism states that not only
is the newspaper man who reveals
secret intrusted to him immune
from legal penalty in all cases. but
if he refuses to state in the wit
ness box any fact that may be in
his possession he is SUBJECT to the
usual fine for contempt of court.

his outfit together for research
work at various points through

his drilling apparatus a severe test.
He says it is about the best devised
to date.
The drilling machinery is mount
ed on a wagon that will be drawn
by two horses and will be capable
of sinking 200 feet, 1t will be
used to determine if possible the
existence of potash at points in
