Mr.. Asquith Does Not
Interfere With His Aids

LONDON. Sept. 2o.-Mr. Asquith. It Is
said. betrays none Of the wear and tear
which play havoc with the more mer-
curial temperament OF Mr.. Lloyd
George. The reason is not far to seek.
The P. NJ. as ne is called by his inti-
mates, leaves every department to be
run by its own chief. He interferes
with nothing which Is not brought to
his attention by a cabinet minister.
His main interest lies in the region
Of finance, and the minister he sees
oftenest is Mr.. McKenna. But the
hobby Of the NJ. P. is the committee of
imperial defense. OF all his colleagues
the one who gives Mr.. Asauith most
pleasure Is Mr.. Balfour. and the two
often dine quietly together. His health
is excellent, and so are his spirits. In
private his optimism as to the outcome
Of the struggle is even more pronounced
than in his speeches.

Western Railway
 Wage Statistics
PRESENTED AT HEARING BY
 COUNSEL FOR THE ROADS
ENGINEERS s, 3,725 A YEAR
Maximum on Passenger Trains, $3,342 on reiehts-DeoIares the Pay Ex- ceeds That of Any other Craft.

Chicago Jan. 1S.-Governors of seven states of the union could make more money sitting in the cab of a locomotive, on some of the runs of the western railways. than they now receive in the executive chairs of their respective states.
 This statement was made h ere today by James NJ. Sheean, attorney for the western railroads, whose engineers, firemen and hostlers are demanding higher wages and better hours, in out lining the railroad side of the case to the board of arbitration Presentation of evidence for the men began Nov. 30, 1914, and was completed today, af- ter which Sheean made his remarks.
 He went on to say that the annual salaries of these governors are small CT than the wages received by some of the locomotive engineers of west eTn railroads, who ask wage increases which Sheean said would amount to s4OooO,OO0 a year.
 Maximum Yearly Salary $3,725.2o.
 "Of the 5000 men whose wages for entire year to June 30. 1913, will be shown Sheean explained, there is maximum of S3,725.20 for passenger engineers; $3,342.9O for freight engi- neerS; $1,523.25 for passenger fire men and S1,S90.32 for freight firemen. Against these naximunas the governors of seven states receive 5000 a year or less, while those of seven other states receive s4000 or only slightly above the engineers maximum earn ings.
 Engineers Average $fa5 Per Month.
 Actual earnings statements for all engineers and f1remen for the month in which the demands were presented show that engineers in passenger ser vice earned actually an average of S1S S5 for the month with a maximum actual earnings of $341: in the freight service the average was $170, with an actual maximum of $S5S, the firemen in pas senger service that month earned an average of S115, with a maximum of $210, while in freight service their actual earnings for the month were on the average of $11O, with a maximum of $221. Other firemen in combination freight and passenger service earned even higher wages
 "A careful investigation of the in creased cost of living in the west shows that prices have not ady aIlced so fast as have the wages of engineers and fremen under the schedules awarded in 1910.
 Best Paid Craft.
 Comparison of. their wages with those of any other craft. or of any other railway employe or of engineers and fremen in other parts of the coun- try, show that they are already re- ceiving a higher compensation in both rates of pay and rules"

 ALlzED OVERSEAS BUSINESS
DEMAND FooDsTUFFs
Since Resumption of Trade with Mer- chant Fleets of the Allies and Neu- traIs Has Brought Total Up.

Washington, Jan. 1S,-Only slight decreases in the foreign trade transac- tions of the United States are shown for the year 1914, in spite of the de- morali2ation of the overseas business during the early stages of the Euro pean war. That the falling off in to- tals was not greater is attributed to the increased exports resulting from Europe's extraordinary demands upon the United States for foodstuffs and otEer supplies since the merchant fleets of the allies and of neutral coun- tries have resumed comparatively free operations.
 A summary of the trade movements during the calendar year 1914. issued by the department of commerce to- night, showed that the exports were $2,114,257,53s, as compared with S2,- 4S4.01S, 292 in 1918: and imports S1,- 789,022, ,426, against $1,792, ,596, ,4SO in 1911.

 ON IMMIGRATION BILL
Has Set Aside Three Hours Next Fri
 day to Hear Both Sides.

Washington, Jan 1s.-President Will son received the immigration bill to- day as passed by congress and, yield ing to appeals for hearings, set aside three hours next Friday to give ear to those who would urge him to approve or veto the measure,
 The measure went to the White House with restrictive literacy test for admission of aliens unamended, de- spite frequent declarations by the president that this form of restriction did not meet with his favor, What the president proposes to do still is problematical but the fact that he has granted hearings has aroused the hopes of champions of the measure that he will not veto the bill.
 In congress there are mary demo- crats who believe that the bill could easily be passed over a presidential veto in both houses by the necessary two thirds majority
