About twenty children gathered at
the home of little Francis Elkin on
Thurday afternoon in honor of the

MEETS HALF OF DEMAND.
Report on Output Of Plants Which
Manufacture Dyestuffs.

Enough plants are turning out dye
stuffs to meet so per cent of the de-
mand, according to DR.. Thomas H
Norton. commercial agent of the De-
partment of Commerce and an expert
on dyestuffs. The situation is also re-
ported to be improving daily.
The plants. he said. are for the most
part only getting started. The pros
poets seem to be, however. that they
will be in full running order within
a short time. when American consum
ers of these materials will have to
worry little as to where their colors
are coming from.
At any rate. he said. the people will
have to accept fewer colors for while
and must not insist on a certain color
when they go to buy goods. according
to the departments expert.

NOT AIMED AT CONGRESS.
U. S. Attorney Marshall Explains
Criticism of House Subcommittee.

United States District Attorney Mar
shall of New York has sent letter to
Chairman Webb of the House judiciary
committee saying that he had no in
tention of rejecting upon Congress or
the committee in recent letter ad-
dressed to Chairman Carlin of the jul
dietary subcommittee. in which he at
tackled its motives. He declares that
the criticisms referred solely to the
methods of the subcommittee in its Ne"
York investigation of his official con-
duct in connection with Impeachment
charges made by Representative Frank
Buchanan.
The report of the subcommittee has
already been presented to the full COM
mittee.

Would Force REIMBURSEMENT.

If they force their demands on the
carriers by threat of a nation wide
strike surely the wages of the other
four-ffths would require readjustment.
Manifestly the resources of the rail-
roads would not permit granting all
employees the same proportionate in
crease.
considering the high wages and the
favorable working conditions enjoyed
by the trainmen as compared with
other railroad men and workers in
other industries, their demand for
still higher wages is not a fair one.
Nor is it an honest statement to put
this demand for higher wages in the
form of a plea for an eight-hour day.
The stockholders of American rail-
roads have a vital interest in the cost
of operating their properties. and espe-
cially in threatened increase in labor
cost that would absorb large part of
surplus left for dividends.

DEMAND FOR HIGHER PAY +.
IS DECLARED UNFAIR"
Conferees of Eastern Railroads Say
Trainmens Terms Will Prove
Burden to Companies.

NEW YORK. March 20.-The confer
ence committee of managers for the
eastern railroads, of which Elisha Lee
is chairman, in a statement issued here
ito the 100000 stockholders of these
companies characterized the demands
of the railway trainmen for higher
wages as unfair. and added that 1.-The
carriers cannot and should not Shout
der this burden of an unwarranted in
crease of 100000, 900 in the wages of
small minority of their highest
paid employees"
Pay Roll Totals $685., 600, 900.
The pay roll of the eastern roads in
1914, it was shown, amounted to $685.
0o00 of which s1s6,O0 900 went to
the trainmen.

who have put $1,000. 900, 900 of their saw
ings in the business. receive on their
investment about s3O0. Oo0. 900 a year. or
per cent" the statement continues.
THE railroad trainmen on every road
in the country are demanding an in
crease in wages that will add not far
from 500, 600. 900 to the pay roll.
These employees, the highest paid in
the service, are less than one-fifth of
the army of railroad workers. They
have taken the cream of the big wage
advances of the past few years.

was the statement that the average num-
Der of employees of the company in the

Reciting that the officers have APP
peared before the Senate committee on
naval affairs and urged the defeat of
the pending measure. it is stated, that
the following proposition has been
made to the federal government.
Proposition to Government.
I'VE will agree TO permit any we'll known
arm of chartered public accountants to
estimates of the cost of manufacture:
with that data in hand we will meet
with the Secretary of the Navy and
agree to manufacture armor al price
which will be entirely satisfactory to
the Secretary of the Navy as being
quite as low as the price at which
the government could possibly manu-
factuTe amor ON its own accent, after
taking into account all proper charges.
AS a concrete working basis for
such negotiations. Bethlehem Steel
Company has offered to manufacture
one-third OF the armor plate required
for the contemplated fiveyear naval
program estimated at approximately
10000 tons), for price of 1895 per
ton for side armor, as compared with
the price of s425 per ton now obtain
Ing.
1T may be added that while all other
foregoing figure at which We now
offer to make armor for the United
States is not only a lower price than
has been paid by the government for
more than ten years. but il is also
lower price than is paid
for armor by Japan. Austria, Germany,
France or England"
There was a net income for the year
Of $17,162.S12. as compared with So
$4,000 for 1914.
