NEW YORK, August 8.-Nor-
NAL service of the most important
surface street car lines in Man
haitian and the Bronx was re-
sumed today, after having been
partially interrupted by strikes OF
motormen and conductors begin
ming about two weeks ago, ami
eliminating Friday night last in a
walkout of the men employed by
the New York Railways Com
pany. About $500 employees of this
company and of the Third Ave
nue. railway system are affected
by the settlement agreed upon yes
terday by the directors and Of
fcials and the men after confer
ences with Mayor Mitchell.
Under the terms of the agreement
the right of the employees to organize
is conceded, and the two companies
promised to treat with committees of
their employees in considering griev-
ances. A demand for increased wages
will be discussed by the committee not
later than August 80, and IL they fail
of agreement the controversy will be
submitted to arbitration.
Other Strikers Expect Concessions.
Strikes by employees of the Second
Avenue. Queens and Staten Island
street railway systems have not yet
been adjusted, but the men believe they
would be granted concessions similar
to those given the other lines.
Theodore P. Shonts, president, and
Frank Hedley. general manager. last

ployes of the New York Railways Com
pany, stating they had agreed to a
method of adjustment which they
hoped would lead to a complete settle

have stood by us except for coercion
and intimidation" the statement said
I'VE believe the majority of the men
wanted to be loyal. We promised to
their loyalty in this crisis will not be
forgotten. 1t is important that every
man clearly understand just what the
plan of settlement means, and we ask
every one of our employees to read it
carefully"

COSTA RIGA RA7|H|ES
PAN-AMER|CAN TREATIES
Pacts Relate to Pecuniary Claims,
Patents, Trade Marks and
Copyrights.

Costa Rfca has ratified the four pam
American treaties relating to pecuniary
claims. patents, trade marks and copy
rights. Advice to this effect has been
received by Secretary McAdoo, presi-
dent Of the international high commits
sion. from the minister OF finance Of
Costa Rica.
These treaties, signed by the dele
gates to the fourth pan-American con-
ference in 1910. and ratified by the
United States, were strongly indorsed
at the recent meeting of the interna-
tional high commission in Buenos
Aires. The commission urged their
prompt ratification by all countries
which had not acted upon them. and
provided for an inquiry to the cause
Of the delay. The Costa Rican ratifi-
cations are the direct result of the COM
missions recommendations in this re-
spect. and undoubtedly will be followed
shortly by similar action throughout
Latin America.
Further Ratification Sought.
The delay in ratifying these and sew
eral other conventions signed in 1910
has prevented putting them into ef-
feet. because they cannot become op-
erative until ratified by all signatory
states. The central executive council
of the international high commission
Of which Secretary McAdoo is presi-
dent. is taking active steps to secure
prompt action. This is one of the prac-
teal results of the commissions eff
forts to carry to fruition the aims of
the pan-Amerfcan financial conference
of May. 1915, to establish closer and
more enduring financial and commercial
ha rin n
lies.
The convention on pecuniary claims
has now been ratified by the following
countries: United States. Bolivia. Brazil
the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Qua
temala, Honduras. Nicaragua. Panama
and Costa Rica, making a total of ten
states. 1t provides a simple and ex-
peditious means for the settlement of
disputes between governments and for
e1gn corporations. thus eliminating one
or the more common causes of friction
between governments.
Arbitration Treaties.
This subject is closely connected with
the arbitration of commercial disputes be-
tween individuals of different countries,
which the international high commission
is endeavoring to promote. The first of
the agreements providing for commercial
arbitration was signed by the representa-
tives of the Chamber Of Commerce of Ar
gentina and of the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States at the meeting of
the international high commission in
Buenos Aires last April. and chambers of
commerce of other countries have indicat-
ed their purpose to negotiate similar ar
rangements.
With the action of Costa Rica, the
convention of the fourth Pan-American
conference on patents has now been rati-
ned by nine countries; that on trade
marks by ten, and that on copyrights by
nine. These three conventions tend to Sc
cure uniform practice in all American re-
publics in granting and protecting literary
and industrial rights and to regulate the
complex question of priority of applica-
ton for registra ton.

to bring children into the world for
the fearful fate of becoming food
for powder. Since that time l have
heard the same expressions from the
mouths of women and also of men OF
the most different classes. Every
where a deep repugnance to beget
children 1t is therefore to be feared
that the war threatens to add a new,
earnest and very effective motive to
those that now work to limit the
number of births"
Further complicating the subject,
is the fact that there will be great
excess of women over men after the
war. Before the war the excess of
females over males was 900, 900, in
round numbers. Owing, however, TO
the greater longevity of the females
the great bulk of the excess consisted
of women more than fifty, that is,
beyond the collaborating age. The
excess of women of fruitful age, how
ever, will be increased by approx
mately the number of men killed In
the war, removing hundreds of
thousands of women from considera-
tion as possible mothers.
Money Grants.
A steadily increasing number of
supporters is being found for the idea
of encouraging large families by
grants of money for each child, and
a graduated reduction Of taxes.

WAGNER SOME HUNTER.

Hans Wagner is an enthusiastic hunter and fisherman but he knows how far to go for game and where 10 stop. Last fall Outfielder Ed Barney, of the Pirates, invited HOnus to visit him that he would send travelling in structions several weeks in-advance of the date set for the trip. Just before the holidays Wagner received explicit instructions regarding the railroads and other methods of travel by which Hans was to reach Barney's shooting lodge Wagner read the instructions carefully until he came Co the point where he was to take a wagon and drive 65 miles. Right here nj sen thusiasm for the trip began to waue and it disappeared entirely when he found that Barney was staying at Wan ganui, Saskatchewan. and the ther- mometer there was flirting wi;h the 30 degree below the ero mark at the time the ink froe on the Denned epis- tie
