Railroads Issue Another Statement

The railroads concede that adjust pay, but think arbitration should pre- vail. They have issued the following statements:
 The 54 eastern railroads have now compiled figures and reported them to the conference committee, showing that as the result of the recent award in the engineers arbitation case. the engineers received total annual in. crease in pay of about 5000, ,000, or approximately five per cent.
 The officers of the Firemen's Broth erhood have so far ignored the pub. lished offer of the railroads to.submit the questions to the same sort of arbi. tration as that employed in the engin. eeTs' case.
 The railroads concede the vote of the S0,000 men will favor a strike, and it is this strike that the companies seek to avoid.
 In published statement, President Carter of the firemen, objects to the railroads plan of a seven.man arbitra- tion board on the plea that there was great delay in settling the engineers case, and that it was over six months from the time arbitration was agreed on before decision was rendered,
 That is misleading; the engineers suffered no loss as consequence; 1; their increase was retroactive. It ap- piled 10 the whole period of delay. Though the award was not made pub lie until Nov. 26, it was made effective as of May l. The men received back pay amounting to about S1 ,000,000.
 The railroads concede that there should be adjustments in the pay of firemen. The tiremen are faithful and hard working. The firemen, however. are i'll advised in the opinion of the railroads. both in demanding wages disproportionate ito the other obliga- tions of the companies, and in defining to accept arbitration by board suffi. ciently large to look at the controversy frsm all view points, and appointed by some disinierested body or committee of citizens.

HAS ITS ROOTS IN CONFIDENCE
So True Friendship Elevates Two Hearts Above sordid Struggles of
 Their Time.

As the love of Romeo and Juliet ele- vated their souls above the strife of their houses, so can friendship elevate two hearts above the struggles of their time. though the individuals be ever engaged in it; while those friends who happily walk the same path cheer and strengthen each other by their mutual example; and since essential confidence can exist be- tween good men only. they propel each other in the path of virtue, for it is a primary law of all intercourse, that if two or more of the same inclina- tion, pursuit or character-good friv- olous or wieked-are brought in close contact with one another, in tie same direction they will propel one another still more rapidly. Friendship must rest on mutuality, it is one of it's essential qualities: for one of it's re- quisites and blessings is the en- Joymeut of confdence-a luxury to good men; and Aesehylus is right when he says that kings suffer one evil. they do not know how to confide In friends; while the reason that was given of Trajan's having friends is that he was a friend of himself- Francis Lieber.

PUDDING BELL STILL RUNG
Church in the County Pslatlne Gives Warning 1t Is Time to Begin
 Frying Pancakes.

Concerning church bells MT. Frank Hird tells of the quaint customs which are still observed in some of the par ishes in the County Palatine.
 Before the Reformation the great bell of the parish was rung on Shrove Tuesday to call the people together for the confession of their sins. or to be 'shriven;" hence the name of the day. This bell" says MT Hird "is still rung in some parts of Lancashire, and is still called the Pancake Bell, being now regarded only as signal to the people to begin frying their pancakes.
 Tn some villages bell is rung as the congregation is leaving the church after the morning service. This Is known as the Pudding Bell 1t hay ing been firmly believed for many gen erations that 1t is rung to warn those at home to get the dinner ready.
 "The origin of the ringing of this bell is not known, but like many oth- CT old customs, it still fingers in the remoter parts of the country, an- nouncing to the village that the serv- ice is over and that pudding time has come.'
 50 late as 1870 the curfew bell was rung at Burnley, Colne, Black burn, Padham, and in many other towns and villages. This, perhaps is the most remarkable instance of the persistence of an old custom centuries after it has ceased to have any req son"

Wisdom of Bank of Enqland

Here's an item about the Bank of England; The Bank of England has decided that certain tasks shall not be done on dark days. (The skeptical may say that those tasks then are not likely to get done in London, but no matteri) It has been discovered that the clerks are not so accurate when 1t rains as when the sun shines. Their accounts suffer in the fog. And the Bank of England-the last place on the earth where we'd expect to find a matter of this sort considered. a matter of somewhat psychic nature the Bank of England tells its vari- ous young men to wait until sunny day to do the tasks that are most diff ficult. The world is getting wiser. It is getting wisdom.

Watch Our Show Windows
FIRMLY BELIEVE IN MASCOTS
People of the Stage Probably Arc, as Body, the Most Superstitious
 on the Earth.

It is well known that aviators are world, or, rather. in the air. But cer- tainly actors and actor-managers run them very closely in this respect.
 A piece now running in London at- tributes the whole of it's success to the mysterious appearance every night of a little, sad-faced man who lounges near the theater till the house is filled. So confident is the management that this human mascot brings luck that. to keep him by them, they bribe him with choice cigars to lounge there ev- cry night
 But even this, as an extraordinary example of the lengths to which su- perstition runs away with the most level-headed people, is beaten hollow by the marvellous array of mascots said to control the success of a new play just starting.
 To begin with, the leading lady pos sesses a huge black eat mascot, which sat sedately by her on the first night. A lucky feline is also the mascot of one of the adaptors, while the own CTS of the theater in question stake their luck on several curious amulets in their possession.
 Not content with this, the princi- pal actor who is also the manager, was lent for the special occasion of the first night, magnificent watch of eastern workmanship.
