UNIONS DEMAND
HIGHER WAGES,
SHORTER HOURS
Hearing Ends at Washington;
Up to Commission; New
Figures Offered

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 15.-Rep-
resentative of union and unorganiz-
ed labor who asked to present rea-
sons for increased pay to the Rail-
road Wage Commission, completed
their testimony yesterday, and the
commission adjourned subject to the
call of the chairman, Secretary
Lane. Witnesses called by the COM
mission in it's independent investiga-
ton will be heard at the next ses-
sions, probably beginning Monday.
Protests against the presence of
railroad officials regarded as hostile
to the four great brotherhoods were
made by She brotherhood chiefs
when they appeared before the COM
mission. 1t was explained then that
the commission was seeking all pos
sible information, and some of the
railroad men probably will be
among the next witnesses.
Wages and Hours Only
recommendations to be made by
the commission will concern only
wages and hours, Secretary Lane
told James A. Hennessey, who asked
that the stewards of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad should be placed under
the eight-hour law. He said he had
worked an average of thirteen hours
for the last two weeks and that
stewards frequently were on duty
min neteen hours.
1T is impossible for a man to-
smile after having been on his feet
that long" he asserted, in discussing
the services they were required to-
give the public.
Minimum wages of $3.50 a month,
instead of S100 to S125 now paid. and
at least four days a month off, were
asked.
A. B. Jenkins, representing union
molders on the Southern Railway
system. asked the same increase for
them that other mechanical trades
wanted. about SO 1-3 per cent.
Dispatchers' Demands
w. G. Ebey, of Hamlet, \. c., said
train dispatchers should be paid from
S215 to S235 a month, instead OF
$3.50 to S175. because of the increase
in living costs, which he estimated at
20 per cent. He took occasion to
deny for his road, the Seaboard Air
Line, charges made by officers of the
conductors and trainmen that otii-
cials were trying to make the eight
hour law and government operation
failures. He introduced a circular
letter sent out by President W. ].
Harahan, which directed every en-
ploye to give every possible assist
ance to carry out the program of the
Federal Administration.

Mr.. PlETZ FINALLY FOUND HOW
To-END IT-hE'S 80 YEARS OLD.

Il had been afflicted for so years
with chronic stomach trouble and uys-
pepsia, and spent hundreds or douars
trying to get relief. For years nave
had to go TO the water closet as otten
as eight or twelve times during the
night, on account OF my bowels. l had
to be very careful what ate and could
not eat fruit Ut all.
Il have used but four bottles OF Milks

atoms on a large scale are Impending,
and that General Pershing's two ag-
gressive young armies soon Will try
their mettle again. There are many
minor happenings that seem to indi-
cate smashing blow is in prepara-
ton, altho the time, the place, the ex'
tent or object of it is oniy matter o.
speculation. Added to the purely mill
tsry considerations tina. would seem
to urge some such renewed effort be-
fore winter comes. there is now the
incentive presented by the fact that
armistice terms viii soon be formu-
lated. The readiness of the German
authorities to accept those terms will
be greatly increased, it is pointed out.
IL their line is further broken.
Allied victory grows more certain.
without considering an armistice and
peace as possibilities. but it can not be
denied that the German armies have
held together remarkably well under a
succession of terrible blows: that
where they have been ordered to stand
firm. as on either side of the gap of
Grand Pre- and on the Disc Sambre
front, they have fought with desperate
courage. and that where a rapid retreat
has become necessary, as in the West
ern Belgium and the St Gobain-Laon
corner. it has been effectively car
ried out. The question now is whether
this cohesion will continue. I he gem
eral reserve is exhausted. but the front
is being constantly shortened, and al
ready one army, that of Marwitz. has
been taken out Of the line. Perhaps
there is another also from which new
reserve of sorts may be figured. Can
the line of the Scheldt be held long
enough to permit the forces farther
south to fall back on Maubeuge and
Hirson? Can the Americans be held
back on either side OF the Meuse long
enough for the northern force to get
back at least as far as Antwerp and
Namur? The front based on Client,
Valenciennes. Hirson and Stenay is not
an unfavorable one. and if the German
center can be withdrawn rapidly and
the Mouse pivot can be held. the Bel
gian rivers Offer an advantage for a
regular eastward retreat. These con-

DEVELOPMENT OF AVIATION.
Most Rapid in Human History, Declares
Lord Montaau.

Correspondence Associated Press.1
London, Sept. 2S.-No other develop
ment in human history has shown so
remarkable results as has flying in the
last ten years, says Lord Montagu, of
Beaul!eu, a British scientist and avia-
t;on expert.
When the Wright brothers visited
Europe ten years ago. "he said, "the
airplane engines were Of l24horse pow
err. Today they are Of 750-horse power
in some cases and the airplane's carry
ing capacity has increased from about
1875 pounds to three and half tons.
Ten thousand feet was then the
highest flight. Today we are doing
$4,000. And while forty miles an hour
was then the highest speed, today we
are approaching 1So.
1.-THE British in France began with
only thirty six planes. may not give
the number today but It is huge"
Long flights-to and from America.
for instance-would be possible after
the war, Lord Montagu said, adding
that he himself hoped some day TO lily
to India. For long distance flying,
however, he continued. it would be
necessary to evolve silent engine for
the public would not be willing to take
lengthy trips in noisy airplanes.
