 A tieup on the railroads of this sec ton means Serious disarrangement of the business of the entire country. It means shortage of food supplies, of ice, of supplies for manufacture and of manufactured goods. Travel for bus1- ness or pleasure is fmpeded-
 One of the highest railroad officials asserted, when the strike was voted for, that the roads would call for as- sistance on their men retired on pen sions. They would have to take the places of the strikers, under penalty of losing the pensions for which they had worked many years. Of course em- pIoyment was promised to other strike breakers.

 The engineers at the big Zeppelin works at Friedrichshafens Germany, in which the balloons are constructed, are working on plans for a transatlantic cruiser. They expect it to be twice the size of the present Zeppelins It will be thousand feet long and dfty-two feet beam. with five or six motors, able to drive it across the ocean in three days. The plan contemplates the fol- lowing of the regular steamship sIanes," so that the balloon shall be In constant communication by wireless telegraph with the steamships.
 In a recent dnterxiew @Dr. Cplrnan. director of tfie German sAirships NaE1- gation company, which operates the Zeppelin balloons in their regular in fercity trips, announced that the ny1nB radius of the Zeppelins is now known so accurately, owing to the system or conserving the supply Of gasp that there is no longer doubt of the afrship's ability to fly from shore to shore.
 An interesting side issue is seen In the assertion that at least two Zeppe- lin airships will be sent across the ocean and will attempt to fly from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific slope and be placed on exhibition at the Panama Pacific International exposition to De held in San Francisco in 1915. Count ZeppeIin himself it is said, will come to America in the near future (by wa ter, however, not by air1 with his en- gineers and will study with them the conditions of an American transcon- tinental flight, with regard to air cur rents, atmospheric conditions, etc
 An earnest of the success of the con- ternplated flight is found in the success of the Zeppelin aerial journeys in Ger many. The balloons are now operated on regular routes and attract not much more attention than do railroad trains fraversiug the country Flights of hun dreds of miles are common. everyday occurrences.
 The Zeppelin company has airships at Berlin, Hamburg, Leipzig and Baden Baden. They make almost daily flights. One of them reported a hundred suc- cessive air voyages last year without fine slightest mfshap. Not one of the thousands of passengers carried has met with injury, and the Zeppelin rec ord is Inmarred by single fatality. while it has been making it's history nearly 300 navigators of the air in heavier than air machines have met death.
 In spite of the uniform success Of the ZeppeItn flights, the company is losing money. It costs great deal to run the monster airships, and higher fares are charged than the frugal Germans are willing to pay. Only the very rich, with persons seeking novel experiences and foreigners, have patrontzed the aerial routes.

the country, which eQua.ied Ss per cent of the amount then in existence, paid dividends, while in 1911 $5,78O.25O,S26 of the existing stock, eQualing ST per cent of the stock that year in existence, paid dividends"
 In 1890 the average dividend rate is represented to have been 5.45 per cent while in 1911 it is figured at sos per cent. The statement given out in rebuttal by the committee of railway managers having negotiations with the conduc- tors and trainmen in hand said:
 -It is fnconcetvable that these con- ductors and trainmen having received an annual increase of S30, 0,000, 900. per year in 191O-and in view of the ex- trenely liberal pay they now get would subject this country to the ca lamity of a strike
 Tn view of the fact that the public must always pay the wage bill of the railroads, the conference committee In refusing the demands of the men have felt it it's duty to advise the public as to just what wages conductors and trainnnen do receive at present. Only actual payroll figures have been used
 sHere is what conductors and train men receive on the New York Central railroad per thirty day month:
 "On through passenger trains run ming between New York and Buffalo, requiring from 165 to 194 hours per month, the pay is: Conductors, $16S-5S to $1s9.65 per month; trainmen. $94.12 to $10s.26 per month.
 'The baggagemen working between New York and Buffalo, requiring from ITO to 191 hours per month, receive at the present time from $95 to $122 per month.

 '1n suburban service such as that ln the vicinity of New York city Wttnl1 the electric territory requiring from 12S to 212 hours per month, the pay e present is: Conductors, S12B to alb4 per month; tratnmen, s7o to ss9 per month.
 Tn through freieht service condue~ tors are paid from S100 to $50 p1E month; brakeman from SIS to S1oo per month.
 ..The increases demanded by fhs brotherhoods, which have been reEuDe1 by the conference committee of n1au1.- gers, would amount on the New York Central and Hudson River Eailroad alone to $1,52S.093 per annumy or am increase over the rates now in effect co shown above of 2s.6 per cent

amount to ss7.O71, SIS. In the year 1911 the total amount of money paid in divi- dends, according to the same receipts, amounted to $460,1s5.376, and it must be borne in mind that the returns for 1890 included switching and terminal companies, while in 1911 the returns excluded the returns for some of the most remunerative properties in ex-s istence. Here you have an increase in the amount paid in dividends of about 429 per cent, while wages have in creased 39 per cent.

The Lee and Garretson state ment said that while the increase in cost of living in the last twenty years has been about 59 per cent, the rail- road employees in that period had re- ceived increases in pay amounting to S9 per cent The statement continues:

 High above the navy wing of the big state, war and navy department build ing in Washington rules the spirit of the naval retiring board. <Before we go further it may as well be explained that that is its formal, official title. Its popular name is tlie ''pIucking'' board Neat little navy joke-the board saplucks" the men 1t wants retired from the active list. see2) When 1t gets to working and reports its. findings to the secretary of the navy not even the commander in chief of the navy, who is known also as the president of the United States, has the legal right to say it nay What the board says goes, and very emphatically.
 The work of the "fpIucking" board, down whose rough side slide sonae of the ablest officers of the navy, is based on the principle that the navy needs adnnirals who are long distance from the sere and, yellow. To make room for the young fellows to get at the flag flying rank the board is authorized by law to reach into the naval list and yank out forcibIy each year not more than fifteen officers. The ax is to de- fscend each year on the necks of not more than five captains, four cou1-I manders, four lieutenant commanders and two Heutenants.
 That gives scope for the removal of quite a lot of obstacles in the path. of the man who is able, intelligent, up to date in the practice of his profession and desirous of wearing rear adrni- raPs stars as soon as possible. When he gets the coveted stars on his col- lars and epauIets he doesn't have to worry any more about the "pluckfng" board. The law doesn't permit that body to dfspossess any rear admiral from his comfortable cabin He stays there until the retirement law gets in it's deadly work.
