HIGHER EFFICIENCY
But SMALLER WAGE
Eastern Enginemen Are
Paid Lower Wages Than
Those in West.

CHICAGO, Jan, 2S.-That the pro-
ductive efficiency of railroad engine
mel In eastern territory is higher and
their wages lower than in the west,
was the assertion made today by j.
II, keete, assistant general manager
OF the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fe
railroad, who continued his testimony
before tho board OF arbitration In the
western wage arbitration.
An assertion said to have been
made by Warren S, Stone in the east
ern arbitration that the englnemen
In this territory should be paid as
much if not more than those in west
ern territory, was called to his at
tentiOn by James NJ. Sheean, attorney
for the railroads. Stone represented
the engineers in the eastern case, as
he represents them in the present ar
|bItratiOn. IL won't say that ! didn't
say it," said he, but in the so-called
arbitration In the east it was a min
imum wage scale that was adopted"
Keefe states that the productive eff
tjClency Of the eastern englnemen, as
measured by tonnage hauled, was 40
per cent greater than in the west.
In addition to having a higher rate
Of pay in the west, Keea said that
there were railroad divisions I'm the
west OF eighty miles or less where
engineers and firemen are paid for
one hundred miles. The excess pay
ment in a year, he said, aggregated
81, 500 600. Other testimony by
Keefe was to the effect that lOCOmO-
tives average smaller in the west than
in the east, trainloads are smaller and
railroad building has increased fast
er in the west than in the east, de
spite a lighter density Of population.
Wages of steamship captains, en-
gineers and firemen were mentioned
by the witness. The captains in the
service Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company, he said. receive from 500
to S275 a month, and the chief en-
gineers $3.50 to $500 a month. Fire
men receive S45 where they are not
AsiatlCs. Rates on other steamship
lines were about the same, he said.

against a possible Roumanian attack.
British critics say the lack OF star

Germans in Austria and Germany.
Reports have been received here
quoting Lord Kitchen as saying that
Il don't know when the war will

These reports say Lille has been
captured by the allies but these are
not confirmed II true ii means
big bend has been made in the Ger

is reported. Russia is sending one
million and a quarter new men 20

the 1914 reserves whose training has
just been finished. They are going to
points behind the line where they will
be available to rush to the nearest
place of need.
Germany's new levy is six hundred
thousand men of 10 years of age.
