HIGH PRICED EMPLOYEES
Railroads Still Submitting Statistics
on Wage Increases.

Chicago, Jan. 22.--What is meant in
dollars and cents by the demands for
increased wages by engineers and fire
ment on western railways was laid be-
fore the Federal Arbitration Board in
this city today. j. H. Keefe, assistant
general manager of the Gulf Colorado
& Santa Fe Railway at Galveston, Tex,
placed the figures before the board.
Through almost a full days session ex-
IEerts for the men sought in vain to
find a loop-hole in the figures.
The sum of $40,SS6,70S would have
been placed as an added burden upon
western railways and back of them
on shippers and the public in the last
fiscal year, to meet the demands for
increased pay of men who already are
the highest paid class of employees in
railroad service in any territory. I'm
der the mems own interpretations OF
their demands the amount would have
been larger. This added burden on
almost two-thirds of the United States
would go to all to the compensation
of engineers who already earn as high
as $35S per month and S3,725 per year
and firemen, their apprentices, who
already earn as high as 1921 per
month and 81 $50.
Sharper point was given to the fig
ures by the fact that they We're based
upon the individual time slips of every
engineer and fireman who worked on
any of the roads affected in the month
of October, 1913, the month in which
the demands We're put before the rail
ways. In that month engineers would
have received added compensation OF
S1,759,000 and firemen 1868 1891, while
with added payments necessary for
hostlers, motOrmen and helpers the to-
tai increase for the month would have
been $3,S55,971. This is an increase
of 81 percent over the present basis
of pay.
Consider these additional require
ments in conjunction with the unfav-
ofable results of operation of these
same railroad properties for the past
few years. said Mr.. Keefe, land some
fair conception may be had of the
serious results that would be occa-
stoned by granting all or part of the
mems demands
Representatives of the engineers and
| firemens organizations were taken by
surprise whea it was learned that the
railways in order to determine the
| cost involved in the mems demands
had kert a complete separate set OF
accounts in which the amounts actu.
ally earned by engineers and firemen
under actual operating conditions in
October, 1913, were placed beside the
higher amounts they would have been
paid under the proposed changes.

incidental services for which extra

ENJOYING WINTER FISHING
Jerome Fishermen Make Trips to Cot
t0Isy00ds Above Shoshone.

Last week two parties that The
News knows of spent several days
fishing at the Cottonwoods and vicinity
on Wood river. One party was COM
posed of Clark Stanton, VIII Baker,
John McJunkins and Art Smith. This
party made the trip by team and
started from Jerome in a very lively
and liberal snowstorm. However,
this cleared in few hours.
The other party was composed of
Ed and Yves. Gill, George Hawbecker,
and George Bissell They went by
auto and lodged the snowstorm though
they kept sharp watch on the wealth
er indications. They found the roads
good for the entire forty miles or
more and made the usual time with
the car
Both parties got plenty of fish, al
though the portion of the day that
might be pleasantly devoted to the
sport was short The trout are also
still very erratic. Some days it was
easy to make a catch other days al
most impossible to catch any some
portions of the day hours would be
spent and nary bite: then perhaps in
a few minutes the limit could be
caught. Bait exclusively was used.
The parties report game plentiful
along the river, sage hens by the hun
dreds being seen along tn road. Also
there was a great many ducks. as the
river is still open. AS it is now the
closed season all the hunters could do
was size up the birds and contemplate
the possibilities of the next open sea-
son.
They report also numerous beaver
along the river and other fur bear
ing animals. Mr.. Stanton reports
that the beaver are playing havoc with
the few trees that fringe along the
river in this vicinity and from which
the locality takes its name. He re-
ported coming across one tree fully

new POLICY OF COMMISSION
VIII Take Initiative in Matters Believ-
ed to Need Attention.

The public utilities commission yes
terday inaugurated and announced a
new policy which it will proceed to put
into effect and which will follow out
the purpose and effect of bringing the
commission into closer contact with
the people as we'll as result i'll the
commission itself taking the initiative
in the matter of conducting investiga-
tons into conditions among public SER
vice corporations and common carriers
together with their properties in all
parts of the state The policy therefore
is to put forth every effort to bring the
commission closer to the people, for
whom it was created, and to make it
plain to the people that their COM
plants as to unjust charges of utili-
ties will be given prompt attention,
while the commission will not hest
tate itself to initiate actions of its own
whenever and wherever it deems there
is just grounds for it to do So
With view to carrying out this pol
icy and of becoming familiar with the
conditions of those utilities and COM
mon carriers which come under it's
immediate jurisdiction, the commission
yesterday decided that next spring it
will go into northern Idaho as body
and there both, after and during hear
ings that are to be conducted into yari-
Gus matters for which complaints are
already filed, it will make its own in
vestigations first hand of the proper
ties of all such corporations to deter
mine ii the law is being complied with
to the full extent and if all sections
of the state are satisfied with the man
ner in which they are being treated
by utilities and also if they have con-
ditions they are dissatisfied with.
I'VE have a number of important
hearings for next spring in the north
ern part of the state and our policy
will first really be put into effect then
insofar as inauguarting the plan we
have under way to visit all parts of
Idaho" said President Ramstedt of the
commission yesterday, in announcing
the commissions future policy. These
hearings will be so arranged that we,
| mean the entire commission, will
have sufficient time to make our own
investigation into matters that are of
interest in the several sections to the
residents thereof insofar as utilities
and common carriers are concerned.
We will later visit other parts and
sections of the state in turn"

to the amtters that come under its jul

sioner Graham. Heretofore the COM
mission as a body has not visited the

II am quite sure that when the leg
islaturc passed the act creating the
public utilities commission it was with
the idea Of making it as close to the
people as possible, said Commissioner
Freehafer "The commission wants to
| follow out that idea to the fullest ex-
| tent. The commission belongs to the
people of Idaho. 1t was created for
the people. BY coming into close con-
tact with the people of Idaho we will

needs and to determine who are and
who are not being fairly treated. 1t is

meant to initiate and not to await foI
complaints to come to it, We propose
to review conditions in this state and

one that will attract not a little at
tention over Idaho. The first commits,

remaining as a holdover in President
Ramstedt who succeeded to that office
on the reorganization, was in office
less than two years and during thai
time was unable to make trips over the
state as now planned by the new com
mission owing to the fact that it tool
all the time it had when in existence
to organize and get the commission il
working order. This has been accomp
| lished. The old commission, 1t is gen
orally conceded, accomplished a grea
deal of good for the benefit of the peo
pie of the state at large and more thar

mission proposes to go a ste~ farthe,

eel of the process of running or firing

would be increased three and -four
times over, while in one instance the
ratio of increase would be 26,S11 pre-

AS he laid one by one the exact
cost of each of the mems sixteen de-
mands before the board, Mr.. keefe al
so presented the exact form and the
uniform instructions upon which each
of the IS western roads affected based
its record.
Upon cross examination as to these
instructions it was brought out that
had the mems own Interpretation of
their demands, as already expressed
in the hearing been applied, the in
creased cost would have far exceeded
the amount computed by the managers
themselves.

Reluctantly and modestiy, with the
diffidence of child and sincerity
not to be questioned. Miss Hurst spoke
OF her earnest desire to understand

people, and understanding, to help

which she has achieved. saying it is

said Miss Rurst- THAT 1t only awaits
the enthusiasm, vitality and brains Of
the American woman. of every walk
of life. to give it that impetus which
would make 1t one Of the most vital
movements for good the country has
known. To feminism we might add
socialism and suffrage.
If the silk and satin class Of Amer

their lethargy-would only use their
magnificent supply of brains and en-
ergy and enthusiasm toward the real
ization Of these movements. many OF
our so-called problems of today would
be no more There can be no imme-

lens until American women awake TO
the fact that suffrage touches one
and all-that it is not political move
ment, but a movement whose strength
can only be perfected when it hits
home to each woman as an individual,
and when feminism or suffrage does
not merely signify to her the tattered
standard, votes for women but a ire
mendous emancipation of mind, body
and soul.
