UnreasOn. Assert Managers.

New York, Feb. 12.-Officials of
the railroads. opposing demand of
employees for an eight-hour day and
increased wages, say that the demand
would add millions to their payrolls.
That the proposed schedule would
be in effect an increase of 25 per cent
in the freight speed basis for wage
computing.
That it would mean an increase of
S712 per cent in the overtime rate.
That many engineers are now paid
more than bank presidents in small
communities.
That more than 100000 other en-
ployes would get no benefit.
That the G0d,0OO stockholders of the
railroads now get less than ? per cent
of the gross earnings.
That the employees, en- the other
hand, now get 45 per cent of the
gross earnings.
That money to meet this demand
could be obtained only by reducing
the wages of other employees, reducing
payments for interest and dividends,
curtailing betterment expenditures de-
manded by the public or asking the
government for a proportionate in
crease in freight rates.

Angus Mckinzie and son, Ernest, have been in the city for some days past and are awaiting the freeze-up in order to leave for the Outside over the trail.

 Mr. Mckinzie Senior is one of the real old-timers of the North, having reached Dawson via the Chilkoot pass in 1897 since which time he has ''never seen salt water" as he puts it. Mr. McKinzie Junior arrived here last spring, this being his first visit to the North. He spent a strenuous summer on the hill and frankly declares he prefers the Outside But the probabilities are that both father and son will be among the re turning NorthernerS next spring.

 The Juneau school bond election is re- garded as indicative of the weakness of the Wickershamites in Juneau.

The bill was not pressed, and in explanation Wickersham said that he had been flooded with mass of petitions | against the bonds. Councilman King was sent to Washington to lobby for the measure and secured its passage within few days of his arrival at the capital, notwithstanding that Wickersham, in letter to Mayor Stew art ten days previously, had said that it was impossible to secure the passage of the bill

EXPECT BANDIT RAID ON AMERICAN BORDER
 TO CREATE SENTIMENT AGAINST WILSON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Secretary of War Baker has issued formal statement saying that deh- mite information had been received by his depart ment that an attack by Mexican bandits on American troops now in Mexico or on the border had been ar ranged to take place between now and election day n order to create sentiment aganst the admlnlstra- ton $ Mexican policy.
 Official reports which have been received show that members of the families of Carranza Obregon Trevno, Huerta and Madero are in San An tono.
 The statement that Carranza is planning to leave Mexico IS freely made here and it is borne out to some extent by the fact that his wife and the wife of his minister of war are already at the border.
 Villa threatens to take Chihuahua and other im- portant cities, and the de facto government IS help less. The rebel forces under Villa are rapidly gain ing in strength, while Carranzas force IS diminishing
 American government officials determined not to reduce the national guard regular patrol guard at the border at present.

WILL WHOOP FER UP" FOR CHAS. 4. SULZER
Democrats and Supporters of SuI- ger for Delegate to Hold a
 Series of Political Rallies

An extremely quiet political campaign, so far as this district is concerned, promises to terminate in blaze of glory, and while no trumpets have heralded the approach of the political Spellbinder in our midst, there now promises to be a very carnival of polit- ical activity between now and election day. For arrangements have been made whereby meetings vii be held under the auspices of the Democratic party at Discovery, Flat and Iditarod prior to November 7. At the town of Flat two meetings will be held.
 It has been apparent fer some time that what promised to be merely a considerable change of sentiment with reference to the candidates for delegate in congress gives promise of being regular landslide. Re publicans, Progressves and Democrats alike have found common ground upon which to meet in the candidacy of Charles A. Sulzer, and so enthusiastic are the supporters of that candidate that they have demanded op- portunity to give vent to their feelings in series of grand rallies. The remarkable impetus given to Mr Sulzer's candidacy in the Iditarod district will in all probability result in an overwhelming majority here for the Democratic candidate, and wiping out the hitherto enormous WlckeFsham lead.
 Dates and Places of Meetings
 The first of the series of meetings will be held at Moose hall, Flat this evening, at which time addresses will be made on the political issues of the day by A. NJ Klgore, Democratic candidate for member of the legislature, and E. M. Stanton. The latter, although Republican in politics, is a sup porter of the Democratic candidate for dele gate, and, like many others of his belief, is opposing Wickersham on the score of his nondescript political affiliations. It is probable that others also will be called upon to address the meetings, for it is aimed to make them as much in the nature of politi cal rallies as for the expounding of political questions.
 The second meeting will be held in Rleys mess house, at Discovery on Monday even ing and this is expected to draw attend ance from both Flat and Iditarod. The same speakers will be heard, with the addi- ton of local men.
