And it hopes that wisdom tempered with Understanding will in the end pre- vail' \ .l4 There need be no strike, declares the New York American, "if the rail- road managers will do the right thing" In The Americans opinion-I ] "The eight-hcur day is legitimate demand and should be, conceded by the railroads.
 "The railroads have received all sorts of concessions and aid from the government. .... | "They have, within these few months, been permitted to increase ifreight-rates.

 "It is cnly Tight that they should ldivide a part of these benefits with the people-with their employees, twho are so large as part of the na-

More than million and half other employees of the railroads would get no benefit, and the car riers, if compelled to add these many millions of dollars to their pay-rolls, would have to find the monsy in one Of fcur ways-reduce the wages of the million and half men outside the train service, reduce payments of interest and dividends to their security y-holders, curtail the better
 rent expenditures for new stations, reduction of grade-crossings, and other productive improvements demanded by the public, CT ask the government to allow proportionase increase in freight-rate. The owners Of tho railroads-the stockholders ! now number more than 600,000, and 1 their share of the gross earnings is less than per cent, as compared with 45 per cent. paind the em- ployess. For every dollar paid the stockholders $25 is paid the em- ployees." rf@ 4
 | The New York, Journal of Com cree. for one,ndoes not see how the |railr-ads cani possibly mest de mand for $1Oo,O00,Oo0 a year in in creased wages. It says:
 "The railroads may be forced by crcumstancs to reduce their sx- penses and curtail their operation, and the weaker ones may be driven into bankruptcy: but what good will that do? Getting the privilege of in creasing rates and so adjusting them as to meet every requirement., includ- ling an increase cf pay for train se~' vice, is g difficult and doubtful mat ter undsr the law as it now exists, And getting the law changed is nc easy natter. Suppose the time comes within a couple of months for this contemplated demand to ba made Iupon tho railroads of the country, what will their managers do abou! lit? Suppose they, unitedly refuse, what will these unions, which have mere powerful combination than the companies are allowed to form, do about ii? Will there be general strike to paralyze the business of the country at this critical time? If so,
 what will the government and public authorities generally do about that. What would the people of the country outside of the railroad business think of it?"
 The New York Evening Sun can
 see but two ways fer the railroads
 to escape being ground into bank ruptcy by successive wage-increases:
 One way is to regain the right to
 make their own traffic-rates; the
 other, to induce the government.
 through g permanent wage-board, to
 undertake the responsible regulating
 of wages in accordance with what the railroads can bear. No wonder the sentiment among railroad officials is strong for a government wage-board. It would doubtless be as political and az bad as the Interstate Commerce Commission. but 1t might mean salva- , ltion." K.
 The demand for shorter day need ] not. however, mean, either q strike or a severance of the present good understanding bstween the railroads and their employees. says The Rail- road Employee (Newark) It voices la warning against "the action and in |fluence Of certain organization mem- ' bers, on the one side and suthlry

Eight-Hour Day for Trainmen
From Literary Digest.

Nc illusions are being cherished Dy railroad officials, remarks the New EYork Sun, regarding the result of 6 referendum vote now being taken among the members of the four big railway brotherhoods. They are con- |yinced that the men will decide to Edemand an eight hour instead Of a ten-hour day with the retention of tthe present rate of wages. The New York American thinks this is a reas fonable, request which "should he [cheerfully and imma diately con- tceded "@ But railroad managers ar, [preparing not only to resist it, but to lpersuade the public that they ought Ito do so. And before the date set Efor the expected presentation of the employees demands, newspaper readers will doubtless have seen enough arguments from both sides |toi decide which is right ' The first statement in this campaign for public support in what nay be the greatest Fofsour labor conflicts has been issued bN the publicity managers of the Eastern group of roads. AS reprinted inSthe columns of the New York Sun, it's most important paragraphs Tea :

 asE follows, BA
 sThe proportion of the gross re- ceipts If the railroads paid out in wages has been steadily rising in the last few years by reason Of the suc- ccssive wage-advance.
 sOut of every dollar received now by the railroad for carrying freight and passengers the employees get 43 cents; in ether words, the payroll absorbs not far from half of the $3,' 00Q,O00OO0 cf gross revenue. Two thirds of the total cost of ops ration is for labor. The employees share Of ! the total receipts has risen from 70 per cent. to 45 per cent. in the last few years.
 "The men ot tho trains-the engi-
 necrs, firmcn, conduct ITS, and train \ cll--are an army of a third of mi! 1 lion, and their share of the pay-ro'i approaches $4O0,000.0O0 a year. While these employees form 19 per cent. of
 the railroad army, they absorb 2S per
 cent of the payroll. Their concreted
 demands fer higher pay increased their yearly earnings from 1910 to I1914 hy more than $7O,O0O.00O with
 out. any increase in the number of lmen employed. These are the men fwhose nation -wide den and for new lwage-schedule will be presented to lthe railroads this spring. They arc 1.-the highest paid men in the rank and file of the railroad service, many ol ltheM earning more than their divis' ttam officers"
 1 Engineers on the best passenger runs, according to this statement
 earn from $2,5OO to $A,OO0 year
 some of them being paid more thar
 bank presidents in the smaller conr' |munities through which they run. l 1 is estimated that the proposed new
 schedule would mean an actual in
 crease of % per cent. in the freigh

 an increase of STA per cent. in tn
 overtime rate. While the demands will be made by the 100000 member of the four train brotherhoods. thu higher rates would be received onl,

MEETING THE MALARIA
 PROBLEM.

-Four per cent of the inhabitants If certain sections N the South have malaria. This estimate, based on the reporting uf 1881 -cases s* durins 1914, has led the United States pub lie health service to give increased attention to the malaria problems, according to the annual report of the surgeon general of 13.526 blooo speciments examined by government officers during the year. 1.797 showed malarial infection. Tho infection rate among white pers sons was above eight per cent, and among colored persons twenty per cent. In two coun- tiss in the Yazoo valley, 40 out qf every 100 inhabitants presented ev!- .dence of the disease.
 Striking as the above figures are they ars no more remarkable than those relating to the reduction in the incidence of the disease following surveys Of the public health service at S4 places in nearly every state of the South. In some instances from an incidence of 15 per cent, in 1914, reduction has been accomplished to less than four or five per cent. in 1915. v l
 One of the important scientific dis coveries made during the year was in regard to the continuance Of the disease from. season to season. Over 2,OOO anopheline mosquitoes in mala- rious districts were dissented. dur ing the early spring months. without finding T single inflicted insect, and not until May 15, 1915 was the first parasite in the body of d mosquito discovered. The public health ser vice, thergfore. concludes that mosquitoes in the latitude of the Southern states ordinarily do not carry the infection through the win ter. This discovery indicates that protection from malaria may be secured by treating human carriers with quinine previous to the middle of May, thus preventing any infec- ton from chronic sufferers reaching mosquitoes and being transmitted by them to other persons.
