GRAND TRUNK WAGE CUT.
It Will Not Affect Employees of Gen.
tral Vermont Railway.

{ MONTREAL, Jan. 5.-The notifea-
.tion to the $4,000 employees of the
Grand Trunk railway of q proposed cut
in wages to go into effect April /, it is
Understood, will not affect employees on
the Central Vermont railway, the
Grand Trunk leased line through New
England, but only Grand Trunk lines
in Canada as well as several classes of
those in the Grand Trunk Pacific The
Central Vermont employees are under
separate agreement.
Officials of the several railroad
unions in Montreal say the men will
not accept the reduction, and that. it is
only to foFestall a demand for an in
crease of wages which it is suggested
the men planned to ask for this
spring.
1t is declared openly that the EN-
ployes will strike rather than accept
the cut, but it is probable the matter
will be settled under the Lenieux ar
bitration act. No one is informed rs
to the attitude the employees OF the
Central Vermont win take. The cut
according to tire announcement of III
G. Kelley first vice president of tbs
Grand Trunk, will be based on the
earnings of the road for the half yea
Dee. 81, 1914. During this pc
Rod the receipts of the road fell of
| sharply ON account or the war. The
cut on the Grand Trunk Pacific, tn,
new transcontinental line just com
pleted, went into effect Ian. /. Morle,
/ Donaldson, general manager. of tn,
Grand Trunk Pacific, announced tina
the cut on this line will be on TIL
same basis of earnings, but all detail
as to the exact amount are withheld
1t is believed it will reach rs high a
% per cent. On the Grand Trunl
there are approximately 1900 engi
neers, 1900 firemen, 1900 conductor.
$500 brakemen and baggagemen, 80
photographers and $500 section hands
All of these IA, 900 are members of tn
/ international unions and all are affect
ed by the reduction. :.

CRUISE MAY BE POSTPONED.
Slides Give Canal Dredges Much Work
to Keep Channel Open.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The posi-
bility CT a postponement of the cruise
of the international fleet from Hamp-
ton roads to San Francisco through
the Panama canal in connection with
the opening of the canal and the Pana-
ma Pacific exposition was suggested
yesterday in the course of confer
ence between Secretary Garrison and
Col Goethals. governor of the canal
Though the great earth slides at Gu
euraeha apparently have been conquer
I ed, according TO COL, Goethals S report,
the earth movements continue in the
neighborhood of Gold Hill. At thai
lpoint the superintendent masses of
earth on the side of the canal. by their
great pressure, are forcing rock and
soil in great quantities into the canal
prism The movement IS sufficiently
extensive to require the continuous
complement of thedges to maintain the
channel. While this can be done to
meet the needs of the present number
and size of vessels that are applying
for passage, Col. Goethais reported
that he eo,lldznot guarantee that there
would be Il channel broad enough and
deep enough for the great dread
noughts which will make up the naval
parade, by the date which they are
iexpeeted TO arrive at Cristobal next
spring.

Before Committee.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Testifying
before the House committee on mill

p. Gardner of Massachusetts, author of
the resolution for an investigation of
the nation s unpreparedness in. ease of
war, declared that the whole field ar
my-miitia, regulars and all-of the
United States would be sufficient only
to garrison a city the size of Pans.
He stated that if every one of them
answered the call they would be- able
to man only a single line of trenches
about sixty-fve miles long, about two
thirds the circumference of Greater
New York.
Mr. Gardner stated that, according
to Secretary of War Garrison, there are

available for a field army Eff all of
these men were ordered into trenches, =

SENATE COMMITTEE
WATTS FOR KENNEDY
Brattleboro Postoffice Contest Hottest
in New Acknowledgement Sena-
tors to Take Part.
tors to Take Part

New England s hottest postotfice
contest. for SOME time seems to
be that over the Brattleboro plum.
The nomination of Maj +. w. Childs
for the postmastership stands as made
by President Wilson to the senate, but
IS in the senate postoffice committee.
There 1T awaits the appearance of
Democratic State Chairman Kennedy,
says the Washington correspondent of
the Boston Herald. He is understood
to be coming on the heels of the pros
test from Vermont, which was forward
ed through James d. Moore, conserya-
ton commissioner of Albany. and at
his request through Senator O'Gorman
of New York. The New York senator s
interest in the Brattleboro case is said
to be decidedly formal. He is said
never to have seen the papers and has
himself with lodging the
Democratic state committees protest
against Mai. Childs.
T.. w. Gibson of BrattIeboro is al
ready on the ground looking after the
interests of Maj. Childs. He is de
scribed as having been influential in
bringing PostmasterGeneral Burleson
and the department. to look favorably
upon the candidacy of Maj. Childs
Indeed, Mr.. Gibson was in Washington
for consultation about the matter be
fore the nomination was decided upon
The Brattleboro case promises to be 6
NEW test as to who Is who IN Democrat
ic politics of the Green Mountain state
The Vermont senators, Page and Dill
bingham, are not likely to take any
part in the quarrel. AS Republicans
| they prefer to stand far aloof wheI
home Democrats maui one another
| There is some doubt whether Stat,
Chairman Kennedy will get far witt
his protest because of this attitude o.
the Vermont senators. Postmaster
General Burleson has very decided
opinions about the Green Mountain
state Democrats and federal patron
age. He has been through a trying Sc
ries of quarrels over postmasters il
that state, and has given much. of hi
time trying to compose local Vernon
differences over postmasters. Chair
man Kennedy came into favor at tn
| department not long ago, and wa
recognized as referee for the state
This, however, does not bind the post
master general to follow Kennedy
Endorsement in every instance and ur
less there are other strong reasons tn
senate will be slow TO refuse confirma
ticn to Maj. Childs on the score o
Kennedy's opposition.

GOING INTO SHENSI.
Great Province in China Opening Up
Before Americans.

Shensi, the great central province of
north China, is rich in coal, iron and
petroleum and is one of the sections in
which the Standard Oil company has
particularly desired. and recently Sc
cured, concessions. Its people, who are
strong and intelligent, declare that
they are direct and unmixed descend
ants of the tribes which came, oTigI-
nally to China from the cradle of the
race. Sian-fu, the capital of Shensi,
was the seat of government and home
of the emperOrs for hundreds of years
before Christ; and when the empress
dowager fled from Peking before the
allied armies. in 1900, it was to
Shensi that she and her retinue made
their way, by the sunken roads which
thousands of years of travel had made
so deep that her progress could be
scarcely marked from the plain above.
Ten or 10 important walled cities
are in the northern part of the prov
nce. which has been assigned to the
American Board for missionary oeeu-
patton. Through one of these, Yu-Lin-
fu, under the shadow of the Great
Wall and the headquarters of the army
of the Northwest provinces, passes
practically all of China S trade with
eastern Mongolia. Rev. W. o. Pye
one of the Board ) staff in the al.
joining province of Shansi, to whom
the survey and opening up of the new
field was committed, reports that most
of the prominent business houses il
the district are owned or managed by
men from Fenchow+fu or Taiku-hsien
cities where the board already has
1ourishing work. This fact Mr., Pyt
says, Makes it nice for us. for be
fling from the same place they regart
| us as members Of the family.
