 PUGET SOUND NAVY YARD, March 24.-Jurior Lieu tenant Ormand C. Pailthrop was found shot to death in his room aboard the cruiser Saratoga this morning under circumstances which have all the earmarks of suicide. The position of a Colts revolver from which the shot was fired which sent the lieutenant to his death leads, however, to the suspicion that there may have been foul play. The dead officer was not known to have any pri- vate troubles and the cause of the suicide, if such it was, is a mys- stery. The revolver with which the deed was committed was of the regulation service variety. Another feature which inclines to the theory of possible foul play
 that few moments before the ,atal shot was fired he was ob- served chatting cheerfully and giving the men instructions con ;erning the days work.

i. is reported Francisco villa is dead, 1t will
go far toward solving the Mexican situation he
it will permit of the early withdrawal Of the
United States troops sent in pursuit of the bandit
and his followers and relieve the high tension that
now exists because OF the presence Of those troops
and the clash that occurred at Parra is altogether
likely that the dlpomatists in Washington and the
City Of Mexico will be able to patch the Parral in
cdent and prevent further trouble between the two
countries
The American troops sent into Mexico to as
sist the Mexican troops in destroying or dispensing
villa and his band and to impress upon all Mexcans
the fact that further outrages the American border

That the villa band has been pursued and partly
destroyed and dispersed is admitted. And now, IL
villa really be dead from wounds received it would
seem that the work of the American expedition has
been accomplished and that it retire with honor,
leaving to diplomacy adjustment Of the Parra trou-

Wages Increase Faster Than Traffic

Not only the wages OF railway en-
ployes increased faster than the vol
ume OF freight and passenger traffic
handled per employe, but the wages
Of train and enginemen have in
creased even faster in proportion to
the increase in traffic per employe
than those Of other railway workers,
says the Railway Age Gazette, in an
editorial in its current issue.
The Railway Age Gazette attacks
as economically unsound" the theory
advanced by spokesmen of the broth
erhOods OF train service employees
that wages Of train employees should
be increased because OF their in
creased productive efficiency"
"The amount OF traffic handled per
employe depends chiefly" it says, "on
the efficiency Of the management and
OF the organization as a whole, and on
the character Of the facilities and
equipment provided by those whose
capital is invested in the rail-
ways rather than upon any one class
OF employees. But even on their own
theory, the Railway Age Gazette says,
most OF the train employees who are
now asking for increases in their
wages are not only not entitled to them,
but on their own theory should have
their wages reduced" In support OF
this statement statistics compiled
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission reports are presented show
ing that during the last 16 years for
which figures are available the in
crease in the average wage per en-
ploye was 43.9 per cent, while the in
crease in the number OF ton-miles per
employe was only 30.2 per cent. and
the increase in the number Of passen-
ger-miles was 35.S per cent.
Both during the last eight years
and during the last sixteen years, for
which we have complete statistics, d
the Railway Age Gazette says, "the
average wage per year OF all railway
employees increased more than the av-
erage traffic handled-the productive
eficiency'-per employe. During the
eight years. 1S9S-19O6, inclusive. the
increases in freight and passenger
traffic handled were greater in pro
portion than the increase in the av-
erage wage per emplOye: but in the
eight years ending with 1914. the in
crease in the average wage was sC
much greater than the increase in the
average traffic handled per employe
as to make the increase in wages for
the entire sixteen years relatively
greater than the increase in the traf-
fic handled"
Tables published with the article
show increases in the number Of ton

section foreman. The average in
creases for this class OF emploves
during the 16 years were as follows:
Ton-miles. 76.4 per cent; passenger
miles, 1913 per cent; wages. 37l per
cent On theory OF productive eff
cheney ought not something to be
done for the section foremen before
the train service employees again re-
celve consideration
The productive efficiency" OF the
officers also has been increasing
faster than the wages, the Gazette
says.
During the Is years under review
the Increases in traffic handled and in
wages per officer on the average
were; Ton-miles, 47.4 per cent: pas
senger-miles, 53S per cent. wages,
32.9 per cent. Furthermore, the wages
of all the officers constituted in 1914
only 3 per cent. OF the total wages
paid, while those Of the train service
employe were 2S per cent. of the total
paid. Therefore, we suggest that on
the basis of productive efficiency
not only are the officers better en-
titled to an Increase of 25 per cent.
in their pay than the train service
employees. but that it would be more
economical, for such increase in their
pay would cost only S11,00000O a
year, while 25 per cent increase in
that of the train service employees
would cost 1OO000,0OO a year.
THE theory Of productive eff
cheney muse be treated rather lightly
because it is economically unsound,
and even ridiculous; and yet the fore
going statistics, which have been
given merely to show how untenable,
even on their own theory, is the
position of the train service employees
do throw light on a serious and even
ominous tendency in the railway in
dustry. They show that the average
wage per employe has been increas-
ing faster than the average traffic
handled per employe. This means
that the labor cost of handling each
unit Of traffic had been increasing
statement which applies with espe-
cial force to the very classes of en-
plOyes who are now asking for an.
other increase OF $10O,00OO00 a year
II was mainly owing to this increase
in the cost Of labor per unit of traffic
handled that between 1906 and 1914
, the amount required to pay railway
operating expenses advanced from 81
cents out Of every dollar earned tC
1922 cents out OF every dollar earned
and that the percentage of return
earned on investment in property de-
clined from $50 per cent. to S.99 Del
cent"
