MORE THAN 10000 LOCOMOTIVE
ENGINEERS OF THE EAST GET
A RAISE.
THE DISPUTE WAS IN ARBITRATION
Report Demands That Public Be Pro-
tected-People More Affected by
Strike Than Either Capital
lists or Labor.

Washington.=Th thousand loco
motive engineers on SO eastern rail-
roads gain a partial victory in their
demand for more wages, under the
award just announced by the board of
arbitration.
The board holds that the public.
which had no voice in the controversy,
had more at stake than the engineers
or railroads, and emphasizes the ne
cessity of plans to safeguard the pub
lie against the possibility of future
strike.
ut would be difficult to exaggerate
the seriousness of such calamity
reads the report. 1T is safe to say
that the large cities of the east would
find the supply of many articles of
food exhausted within a week. The in
terests of the public so far exceed
those of the parties to controversy as
to render the former paramount. To
this paramount interest both the rail-
road operators and the employees
should submit"
The board advocates the creation of
federal and state wage commissions
These commissions, the board sug-
gests, should be vested with virtually
the same powers over organized labor
as public utilities commissions now
exercise over quasi public corporations
The award dates back to May 1 and
will hold for one year from that date

gineers, has indicated doubt as to its.

lined in statement Monday by Presi-

Our Eve. Waste Light.

Not all the radiant energy which en-
ters tie eye is active in the process
Of producing the sensation Of light. No
doubt it is fair to assume that at least
this "inactive" energy is absorbed by
the eve media and transformed into
heat. This should cause an increase
in temperature in the eye, which has
led some to hold that this Is the cause
of irritation and fatigue. There is a
general feeling that artificial light is
more fatiguing than daylight, which
contains far less energy lumen sec
ond than the light from ordinary arti-
fetal illuminants. OF course, If 1t be
true that artificial light under the same
conditions of diffusion, intensity, sur
roundings, retinal adaptation, ETC., Is
really more irritating and fatiguing
than daylight, it is wise to look to the
spectral character of the radiation as
a probable cause. However, there are
no actual data which prove that arti-
fcial light is more discomforting than
daylight when all conditions excepting
the spectral character Of the radiation
are the same.-Electrical World

The Old and the New.

the case Of the father and son with

and breeding from the same litter.
The father fed his pig and attended
to it according to his long accus-

plan followed by the boys clubs.
When weighed by the committee Oh
judges the sons pig weighed little
over 300 pounds, and the father'e
Is pounds.
They were exhibited in separate
pens but right by the side of each
other, and the contrast was indeed
amusing. It looks like the father
will be forced to give away to the
son in some particulars or else drop
out of the race
