FOLLY IN DEMAND
FOR short TRAINS
MADE BY UNIONS
Might Just AS Well Ask Country To
Return To Sailing Boats
And OK Carts

Washington, D. C.-To the public
that pays every dollar of the railroad
bill (aGd forty-fve cents of every dol
lar paid for transportation is for
wages, the leaders of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees,
who are demanding increased pay,
say: "All the railroads have to do
to meet our demands for higher
wages is to shorten their trains, move
freight more rapidly, and escape the
penalty of overtime wages
The fallaHy of this statement, which
is the last-ditch argument used in
support Of the demand for increased
wages, is we'll shown in the following
editorial which appeared in the
Washington, D. C. Times of April 10,
under the heading "a Mad Freight
Train IGea:"
Everybody in the ranks of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are wag-
ing, particularly in the west for short
er trains, while at the same time de-
manding higher pay and fewer hours
most preposterous. Indeed, in econom-
les it is an ideal little short of mad.
"The railroads have spent hun
dreds of millions of dollars lowering
grades, eliminating sharp curves,
ballasting roa.lbeds and putting in
heavy rails, SO that powerful loco
motives, larger cars, and longer trains
could be handled in one movement.
If this object had not been achieved
railway wages never could have been
advanced to the point at which they
already have arrived and traffic rates
never could have been held down
where they are today without the
whole railroad system of the United
States being made financial wreck.
"Any child can see that if, after
the principal railroads of the coun-
try have been reconstructed to haul
the heavier tonnage in mass, you cut
every freight train in half, the cost
pendously, with two locomotives
where one now does. with two engi-
neers where one now does, with two
firemen where one now does, with
two conductors where one now does,
with virtually two whole train crews
where one now does, not to speak OF
the new equipment and the new ter
minal facilities that would be needed.
This proposal is not essentlally
different from urging that the world
90 back from the steamships of to-
dav to the sail barks of centuries
ago, from the railroads themselves
to the stage coaches and OK carts OF
the past. 1t is like suggesting that
the farmer himself, drive his wagon
load of produce in small lots day at
fer day 70 the distant market OF the
city instead Of loading it in bulk into
freight cars and shipping it all at
G2ce by rail-"

The PRUDENTIAL still has the
Strength of Gibraltar. In addition
to their unusually low rates, they are
now making these rates still lower
by giving extra and free annual div

that in case you are totally disabled
YOU are excused from paying the
premiums, though your insurance
goes on.
Do you know of anything on
earth as good as this for Life lnsur-

RAILWAY STRIKE
WOULD INFLICT
Staggering Loss
Would Cut Farmers Prices, Stop In
dustry And Face Cities With
Starvation

New York.-On one point related to
the demands of the unions of train
service employees for a heavy increase
in wages the sentiment of the general
public has been expressed in no un-
certain terms. That is on the ques-
ton of strike.
Declarations have come from every
quarter that an interruption Of trans
portation will not be tolerated by the
public, but will call forth drastic ac-
ton. The enormous injury to the
country that would result from ma
tion-wide strike of train service eni-
ployes is discussed by writer in
the March National Magazine, from
which the following extract is taken:
What such strike would mean to
the American people cannot lie set
forth in mere facts and figures. 1t
can be dimly imagined by those VINO
realize what an intimate and vital
part railway transportation plays IN
every industrial activity of the coun-
try.
There is scarcely person in any
part of the land who would not be
Immediately affected if the millions
of busily turning wheels or our
nearly three hundred thousand miles
of railway were to stop for single
day. If the tie-up continued for a
week, the blow to the industry OF
the country would be greater than
that caused by any panic OF recent
history. To the big cities of the coun..
try, and particularly to the cities or
the eastern seaboard it would mean
a cutting off Of the food supplies that
would place the inhabitants virtually
in a state of siege. In the case or
many food products these cities do
rot carry on hand a stock sufficient
to feed their people for more than a
week, and in the case of some, such
as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies
are replenished daily. The stoppage
of transportation, therefore. would
mean suffering and want to these city
dwellers, and if continued for lons
would threaten many of them with
actual starvation.
To the farmers of the country
general railroad strike would be a
catastrophe, only less serious. Cut
off from his market, the farmer could
not move his produce. and the price
of grain and other staples would be
quickly cut in two, which the market
value of more peTishable articles
would disappear entirely. The great
industrial plants of the country would

ing the declaration of a strike be.

needed for their operation, nor could
they ship their finished ProaucIs Nna1s hc se
idle, and millions of men would be
thrown out of work With the in
come of practically every class OF
citizens either seriously cut down OF
suspended entirely, merchants would
transact little business, because there
would be few purchasers. In short
the Industrial activities of the whole
country would be virtually ,palsieo
from the moment the railroads ceas'
ed to operate.

The hit or miss methods of measure
ments are the cause of poor results.
Cooks as well as other workmen
should have good tools to work with
if they expect to realize success.
There are standard spoons and meas
uring cups on the market that are
full measure, and there are those
which lack from one to two table
spoonfuls in a cup. Be sure that
those you buy are full half pint cups
and spoons the standard size. Sixteen
tablespoonfuls of material will be
found in the standard measuring cup,
sixty dgops are in a teaspoon and
three teaspoonfuls fill a standard ta-
blespoon.
In using tablespoonful of material
it is leveled off with a knife, so is the.
teaspoon and the cup. Baking powder
and soda should be free from Jumps
and lightened by tossing before meas
uring. In measuring flour the average
cook takes too much by dipping it in
g. cup or shaking it down when meas
uring. Flour should be sifted before
measuring, then lightly dropped into
tn, cup with q tablespoon and
slnoothcd off with spoon or knife. In
taking the measure for half teaspoon
full or any part, fill it full, level with
knife and cut down through the center,
from the handle to the tip, pushing
eff the half, or divide in thirds by
rarking the full spoon crosswise.
Directions as to combining materials
should be followed if one wants uni
formity, for the adding of beaten egg
to a hot soup will cause curdied one.
Pour in a little CT the hot soup into
the egg and then it can be added to
the soup.
Cabbage, if cooked in boiling salted
water, uncovered, will be mere digesti-
bile ard will not scent the house as it
does when cooked tightly covered.

GASOLINE TO BE HIGHER
NEXT YEAR, is PREDICTED
Report to Mining Engineers Says
Production Is Not Keeping Pace
With Consumption.

GLOBE, Ariz. September PA seri-
Gus gasoline shortage on the Pacific
coast, the effect of which would extend
throughout the entire country during
the next year. was predicted here today
during the closing sessions of the con-
vention of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers.
W. r. Hamilton of San Francisco pre-
scented the gasoline industry data to the
engineers. According to Mr.. Hamilton.
the only possible means of increasing
gasoline production are by the increas-
ed production of either light oil or
casing-head gasoline, lowering the
grade of market gasoline or by success
full innovations in refining methods
Most of these solutions Mr. Hamilton
explained as impracticahle in the inn
mediate future. although. he said, that
by lowering the grade of gasoline pro-
duction could be increased from 80 TO
so per cent. He attributed the future
gasoline shortage to decreased Produc-
ton of refinahle oil the decrease
amounting to 100000 barrels in 1879,
steadily increasing consumption, the
disccntinuance of imports and the
heavy exports due to the European war
demands
Tomorrow the engineers will leave
Globe in a hundred automobiles for a
days tour of the Apache trail and an
inspection of the Roosevelt dam. prob
ably the greatest engineering feat of
its kind in the world. The trip will be
