A OF TRAIN EN-

The Register is in receipt of the fol
lowing statement of the Association
of Western Railways concerning the
increase in pay and shorter hour day
asked for by the enginemen and train
men of the various railways of the
country:
The average pay Of the engineers,
firemen, conductors and other train
men who are now demanding an in
crease of approximately 25 per cent,
was 81, 296.31 on the Western railroads
in 1914, according to the latest sta
tistics of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. For the entire country
the average for enginemen and train
men in 1914 was $1,253, but wages are
slightly higher in the West than in the
East.
The average given above includes
the wages of the lowest paid as we'll as
those of the highest paid. The aver
age of the highest paid, the engine
men, is given at $1,8l9.9l; and the
lowest, classed as other trainmen, is
S 1,058.31 per year.
Excluding officers, there were $751;
$40 other employees on the Western
roads in 1914, whose annual pay aver
aged $670.62, an increase of only 2O.3
per cent, as compared with 1904. This
is hardly more than half of the aver
age pay of the enginemen and train
men.
To allow the increase demanded by
the highest paid class of railway EN-
ployees. in the form of a change in the
basis for a days pay from 10 hours or
100 miles or less to 8 hours or 100
miles or less, would still further in
crea the discrepancy between their
pay and that received by other en-
ployees. TO accede to the demands of

want is a bigger and greater st. Paul
and that this means dollars and cents
to every citizen. Better public schools,
efficiency in city government, a big
civic body to represent the commun-
ity, more paved streets, more beautiful
parks, an art gallery, industrial schools
winter carnivals-all these are but
means to the same md.
3. Don't be afraid to pray. Pray for
a wider vision, a deeper insight into
the strengths and weaknesses of COM
munity life, ability TO work with your
neighbor instead of against him, to
study civic problems fearlessly.
The coming six weeks until Easter
won't see all our little difficulties
smoothed away, but a little self-casti-
cation and introspection will do Won

addressed by the assistant secretary
of war and he told them some whole
some truths which seem to have been
lost sight of by a good many Ameri-
cans.
It was probably a shock to most OF
them to be told that the United States
did not achieve any such victory over
England in the war Of 1872 as they
had been taught to believe. 1t was
humiliating to them TO learn that
5000 well trained British troops along
the Canadian border held in check
about 100000 American militiamen and
volunteer soldiers during the two years
and a half that the conflict continued.
Their ideas concerning the brilliant
naval battles which their country won
during that struggle underwent a
change when they learned that by the
end of the war the British navy had
driven practically every American war
ship to cover. The true explanation
of the condition Of affairs in Europe
which enabled this country to emerge
from that war indicated was not very
gratifying 20 American vanity.
Yet that is the lesson which all
Americans need to learn. This coun-
try has never gone to war in a cOndi-
ton of preparedness for it, and not
only has it always paid the price for
this neglect by the needless sacrifice
of thousands of its best men, but in
every instance when it has been con
fronted by a formidable foe it has been
saved not by military efficiency, but
by good luck.
