RAILROAD TROUBLES.

Nc sooner does one phase of the
 railroad troubles clear LID than an-
 other is projected. so much so that
 there appears to be no end to the day when the railroad employees will be asking for increased wages or the railroads will stop asking for in- creased rates. The latter does not always follow from the former alone but every time it costs the roads more for operation expenses 1t is 10 be realized that the roads must get the money with which to meet the added sum from those who do busi- ness with them x
 It was not long ago that the rail- roads were denied the Tate increase which they sought, but were given a part of what they asked. Now they are again appealing to the inter state commerce commission for an other raise. but right on the heels of that petition and before action has the representatives of the cenduc- tors and trainmen's organizations have voted to ask for an increase Of 90 per cent. in their wages at the cohclusion of their present agree ment next June. This of course it can be anticipated will be ratified by the referendum. but it only makes it apparent that. if the roads should get the relief which they are asking for now they will have the best of grounds for seeking another boost next year. for while only part of their employees have as yet sighified their desire for more wages it can be safe ly expected that the others will do likewise The present action is prob ably only a forerunner of what is to come. for if part of them need it the rest do and there ought to be no dis crimination if increases are to be granted. And when it comes to fair ness that is what the railroads also have a right to expect

ried on, before and during the war, has won the confidence and apprecia- l tion of the authorities generally, and l Of the seamen themselves. On the definite request of the ad- r1iralty authorities. the society is about to erect additional naval rests at various naval bases, for the welfare and comfort Of sailors when on shore. The society has also been urged to extend similar provision for merchant seamen in many ports.
 I have seen evidence of the spien- did relief work of this society in pro- viding clothes and food for sailors in Lterned in Germany: dispensing imme- diate practical assistance to disabled sailors and dependents of seamen who viding an education for sailors cr- phans; and especially in feeding, shel- tering, clothing and forwarding to their various homes many thousands Of merchant seamen whose vessels have been sunk by enemy action.
 Surely there is no one who would willingly turn a deaf ear 70 the claims of these brave men. and women, to whom the whole nation owes so pro found debt of gratitude? For their sake I sincerely hope that I may rely a really generous response to the cen tenary appeal of the British and For eign Sailors Society. Letters can be addressed to me at the Mall House, Admiralty, London, $. W, marked "B. F. s. s. Centenary"
