NEW DEMANDS BY

Railroad Officials Declare
Wage Increase Alone Would
Reach $100,000,0OO An
nuaIIy Strike Is Possible,
ny MORNING Journal SPECIAL LEASED wls

Chicago Feb. IA formal statement
of the view of the railroads MS to the
demands of the men for an eight
hour day was issued here today by the
executive committee of the Association
.of Western Railways.
The statement asserts that the de-
mands are not in reality for a short
Ter day, but in effect a request for an
advance in wages which would cost
the railways of the nation 100000,
900 in wages alone. This is explained
by the assertion that tranmen work
between terminals not by the hour
and do not as a matter of fact ex-
pect to shorten their hours Of toll
but to be paid overtime over eight
hours instead of ten.
The movement, says the statement
involves 100000 men on 100000 miles
of line in the United States and Can
ada. A strike, which the statement
says has been informally threatened
by an element Of the nrolherhoods,
would constitute the greatest indus
trial catastrophe the American pub
lie has known.
The demand, it is said, means an
increase of - per cent over present
wages, fixed by arbitration. and Of 81
IL per cent in present rates for over
time
Wages of the men involved, il is re-
marked, have increased from 30 to
AZ per cent from 1903 to 1914, while
wages of western engineers ana fire.
men We're further increased in 1915
The proposed requests were sent to
the men January 10, for a mail vote
to give the brotherhood chiefs power
OF attorneys to present the demands
and negotiate for their acceptance. A
question Of striking would have to be
referred back to the men for another
vote but the statement of the rail-
way association notes that Officers Of
the brotherhoods have been quoted as
saying that they will refuse to submit
their demands to arbitration
The statement says 1t would be inn
possible to grant the demands under
freight and passenger rates.

CANADA HAS BIG TELESCOPE
Rejecting Apparatus at Victoria Is
Said to Be the Largest Yet
Constructed.

A seventy-three-lnch rejecting tele-
scope, which ranks In size as the
largest telescope of that type yet com
pleted, has been constructed for the
Dominion Astronomical observatory at
Victoria, Canada. The instrument is
described in Popular Mechanics. The
mirror, which in this type Of telescope
takes the place of a lens in cOncentrat-
ing the rays of light, measures T3
inches in diameter over all, is u inches
thick at the edges, and is pierced by
hole ten and One-eighth inches in di-
ameter. The silvered upper surface is
a parabOla to bring the reflected light
to d focus, 80 feet above the mirror.
This enormous piece of glass weighs
two and One-quarter tons and yet is so
accurately supported that no aexure
can distOrt the surface, which most
nowhere deviate from the theoretical
curve more than a 2O0-1,0O0 of an inch.
The instrument weighs 80 tons and
will rest on massive piers of re-en-
forced concrete. The tube Is 81 feet
long and weighs u tons. OF unusual
interest from an engineering point of
view are the dome and observing
bridge. The former is 36 feet in di-
ameter and is provided with a double
shutter having an opening Is feet wide
All the movements, including revolu-
ton to any desired position as well as
the operation of the shutter, wind
shield and the observing bridge, are
accomplished by means Of electric mo.
tors.
