QUESTIONS
THRESHED OUT BY4!!
ARBRITATORS

Chicago, Dec. 3.--ir an engineer
and fireman were called from their
home to accompany II deadhead en-
gine Zone being hauled by another)
at p. m. and the train which was
to haul it was delayed three hours
before starting. during which the
deadhead crew was asleep in the ca
boose, the men would be paid for
terminal delay even though they
were slumbering.
That this provision is the way one
of the requests of tie enetn"Ueu
would work ont II the arbitration
board in session here grants their
demands was the testimony today OF
w. NJ. Cadle, an expert witness for
the men. under cross examination by
James NJ. Sheehan. attorney repre-
senting the railroads.
Sheehan course TO-DAY was II CON
tinuation OF his efforts to obtain eN'
plantations of Just how the briefly
worded requests OF the men would
work out when applied to the vary
ing services which enginemen worl;
under.
There is a provision IN the agree
ment that the demands of the men do
not waive any advantages they now
enjoy in agreements with individual
roads. Shcehan brought this point
in connection with western rail
road which pays enginemen for MI
leage in addition to the actual mi
leage he covers when this is on GER
tain grade. An engineer whose ac-
tual haul is 100 miles will be paid
for a greater distance to compensate
him for the extra work Of climbing
grades.
DO you contemplate in your de-
mand for a 10 per cent excess over
presen. rate for grade hauling that
this shall be figured not only on the
actual mileage, but on the construc'
tive mileages as well on work
trains" asked the lawyer.
yes" replied Cadet.
"That is what You want the roahs
TO nay an excess wages on a haul that
isn't performed at all?"
That's the way it works out"

Denver, Colo, December g.
because hIs department itself has
not complied with the law he did not
feel like proceeding against mine
foremen and fire bosses for negli-
eence and other offenses against the
Colorado mining code. said James
Dalrymple, chief state inspector of
coal mines. at the second days near
ing in the investigation of the coal
miners strikn before the industrial
relations COM. ission.
The inspector explained hat ac-
cordinc to the law mine foremen and
other executives should be certified
.nch--, They were not, because no eX-
aminaticns had been held. This was
because there were no, funds to de-
fray expenses. The dep1 .nent there
fore has not required that foremen.
fire bosses and other officers of min
ing companies be certified.
IN the past, Dalrymple said. the
duty of enforcing the law Was laid
on the mine operators. Now it is
laid on the state. but there has been
no increase for working forces as n
result. At the opening of the hear
ing George A. Carlson, governor
elect, took the stand, but said he
lad nothing to add TO mis- testimony
~ yesterday. He was excused i'm
mediately.

leads to the conclusion in London
that a greater degree OF activity has
prevailed in West Flanders than has
been reported in the official COM

Poland the battle Is still; undecided

From Petrograd comes the report
that General Rennekampff has been
made the scapcSoat on account o! tho
Napolconic coup, which enabled the
German forces to cut thru the en-
circling Russian Gordon. According
to this report, the dilatoriness of
General Rennckampff in bringing up
rcinforCemcnts made the success of
the German move possible.
Russian forces are now reported to
be within ten miles of Cracow, while
the situation of PrZcmysl. the only
Austrian stronghold left in Galicia,
is declared to be desperate.
The anxiety in England over con

greatly relieved by the reported capt

formidable among the leaders of the
South African rebellion.

LOOKING FOR THINGS TO COME

The New Year is like new book
by an author of genius. The opening
paragraphs give but little clew to the
contents. 1t may begin calmly with
descriptions of sunshine and flowers,
singing brooks and verdant meade,
oily to end with death and lasting
sorrow. 1t may begin in storms and
end in happiness. The certainty
about the New Year is that 1t will
bring surprises. Learned men tell us
that from the history of the past We
can predict the future, but this is
only partially true. The same causes
will produce the same effects in hum
an as in inanimate affairs, but we
seldom see any combination of causes
exactly repeated. Variations always
enter and thwart out most confident
prophecies. "Time nor eternity hath
seen a repetition of delight in all it's
phases" History does not move in
circles. in spite of the trite saying
The story Of the world is not mere
repetition of ups and downs recurring
in wearisome circles and leading to
nothing but new circles of the same
old STAMP. The finest lesson of mod.
ern thought is that life continually
presents us with novelties. In the
year just opening events will happen
like nothing ever seen before. They
may take place on stage so conspic
uous that everybody will behold
them and wonder. They may happen
in some hidden corner Of the world
and reveal their greatness only when
centuries have elapsed.
