ways with a committee representing
their engineers and fremen, who
have requested general revision of
rules governing compensation and in
addition increases in rates of pay,
made public the following statement:
The negotiations which have been
going on for about three months be-
tween committees representing the
western railways and their locomo-
tive engineers and tiremen regarding
the wages and schedules of these
employees, were suspended today
The railways concerned in the nego
tiations number SO and include prac.
tically all lines in the United States
west Of Lake Michigan and the ILL
nois Central Railroad, including this
road, and all lines in Canada west
of Fort William, except the Grand
Trunk Pacific. The total mileage of
the railways involved is approximate
ly 100000 miles. The number of
engineers and firemen involved is
about $4,000 and the wages now paid
annually to them amount to about
s67,75O,OOO.

employees committee proposed in

vice as well as creating many new
positions. These and the other con.
cessions requested would increase
the pay rolls of the railroad repre-
scented more than s33,OOO,OOO year
or approximately 80 per cent.
The original requests of the engi.
neers and firemen were presented on
October 10, 1913. These original re.
quests, If granted, would increase
their wages approximately $27,OO0O0O
per year, or 40 per cent, according
to a careful estimate made by the
Conference Committee of Managers
on the basis of the pay rolls as of Oc-
tober, 1913. Upon receipt of these
requests, the individual western rail-
ways gave notice of their desire to
terminate the wage schedules in eff.
feet with their engineers and firemen
and to enter into negotiations for the
purpose Of making new agreements.

tory time to be an arbitrary allow
ance and the compensation for 1t to
be additional to the wages for the
mileage ACTUALLY run or the time ac-
tually on duty. For example, IL an
employee made run of 100 miles in
hours, he would be paid for 100
miles, or the equivalent of 10 hours,
and for 30 minutes besides. The
Managers Committee conceded the
correctness of the principle of paying
men for the entire period from thee
time when they report for duty until
they are released, In miles or hours,
whichever will yield the greater COM
pensation. The concession offered
by the Managers would increase the
pay rolls of the western roads APP
proXimately $4,000 year; while
the granting of the request made by
the employees would increase the pay
rolls by S2,6i0,00O a year.

Since the extraordinary meet
ing of the Italian parliament late
last week, followed by a special
conference of the ministry, in
which Italy was shown to be over
whelmingly favorable to the AL
lies, it is announced that the
Southern Europe kingdom may go
to war within two weeks.
"ltaly's sympathies and her sense
of obligation draw her to the side OF
the members of the Triple Entente .
says semi-official dispatch from
Rome. "The nation has been unable
to enter the war heretofore because
of lack Of military equipment and
naval readiness. During the last four
months these difficulties have been
remedied, however, and the country
Will be well able to look after her
best interests from this time forward" "
In notable speech to the Italian
parliament Prime Minister Salandra
declared there is no clause in the
treaty with Germany and Austria
which in any way binds Italy to aid
those nations. IT these countries,
which have failed in their coercive
measures to draw Italy into the con.
fiict, persist in accusing Italy of dis
loyalty" Salandra said, Italy will
publish the full text of this conffden.

her present position is well justified. +"
