Letter Sent to shopmen.

1t was in part as follows:
1T must be understood that practi-
cally every class of railroad employee has
presented demands for substantial in
creases in wages or has notified the
mlnistration OF the intention TO 90 SO
at an early date, In effect It is our
understanding that this letter IL a notice
to all railroad employees that there
shall be no further general increases in
railroad wages unless tho efforts of the
United States authorities prove unavail-
ing in reducing the present high cost o.
living.
The federated shop trades represent
approximately 22 per cent OF the total
number of railroad employees. 1t must
be obvious that in the event living costs
are not reduced wage increases must
and Will be made, and II that is done II
must also be obvious that the Railroad
Administration must give equal consid-
Grafton TO all ella sses Of employees.
"As you are we'll aware President
Stone OF the Brotherhood OF Locomotive
Engineers and President Lee of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainnen are
on record to the effect that wages must
GO up or living costs go down. Coupled

state Inquiry Demanded.

An earnest of how strongly labor Ia
backing the actors came from Syracuse
when the State Federation of Labor in
convention there unanimously adopted a
resolution requesting the State Indus
trial Commission TO hold public hearings
In the immediate future to determine
what made thousands OF actors discard
the chance of hearing themselves ap-
plauded In the theatre. This resolution
resulted from a recommendation Of the
special committee appointed to hold an
inquest on the strike. and which re-
ported in effect that the managers are
as bad as one could expect.
Anticipation of more sweeping action

VIII Establish Precedent.

II the new policy is applied every
where in the United States, as seems
likely, 1t will mark a new era. In the
past all price declines have been
brought about by panic, lack OF pur-
chasing power or lack OF demand The
new policy will check rising costs.
Leaders of railroad shop unions who
are voting on the question OF a nation
wide strike in effect asked the men
for authority to delay action, even II a
strike was voted. Several local unions
have already registered their vote, and
it shows a majority for rejection OF
the wage raise offered. which under
the ballot is a vote for a strike.
B. NJ. Jewell and other representa-
tives of the railroad shopmen con
ferred with the executive council to-
day. After the conference a letter was
sent to every railroad employee in the
shop crafts embodying the views OF
the union president and the federation

II CENTS LONGEST RIDE
First Authority Granted Opens
Way for Courts to Deter
mine Rights Of P. s. c.

For the first time since the Public
Service Commission was established 1t
promulgated an order yesterday per-
mitting a transit line to increase fares.
In the order signed by Commissioner
Nixon on the recommendation OF
Deputy Commissioner Barrett, the
New York and North Shore Traction
Company, running from Flushing to
Little Neck and Whitestone, is per-
mitted TO adopt a zone system, under
which 1t may charge as much as eleven
cents for q single ride between GER
tain zones.
1t is understood that the commission
decided to take this action in order to
gel a decision from the courts as to
its rights to increase fares. Acting
Corporation Counsel George B. Mich
olson said last night he would oppose
the order. first by asking for a rehear-
ing, and, IL that course were not sue
cessful, by asking the court to review
the action on the ground that the COM
mission has no right to increase fares
in the face of a specific Limitation of
cents in the franchise OF the COM
pany. Terence Farley. counsel to the
commission, has held that under a re-
cent decision OF the Court of Appeals
in the Buffalo case it has the right to
increase fares in this case.

We went on and on. The afternoon

her arm. 1.-THE huts ought to be here"
Her courage was greater than my
own. She looked up and smiled at me.
The wolf crept Learer, and its bowls
rang out with piercing stroke across
the silence. My eyes ached so that
could hardly discern the darkening'
land, and the snow came down, not
steadily but In swirling eddies blown
on fierce gusts of wind.
And suddenly raising my eyes de-
sparingly saw the huts. There were
Ave Of them, and they had not been oc-
cupied for at least two seasons, for the
blackened timbers were falling apart,
and the roofs had been torn of all but
one Of them, no doubt for fuel. The
wind was whirling the snow wildly

So we went on. But our journey

With the remembrance Of my dream

trees, shouting for her I'm fear.
"Jacqueline! Jacquelinel" called.
She was coming toward me. She
took me by the arm. "Paul!" she be-
gan with quivering lips, "Paul!"
She led me into the recesses of the
pines. There, In little open place,
clustered together upon the ground,
were the bodies of our dogs. All were
dead.
Jacqueline sank down upon the
ground and sobbed as though her heart
would break. I stood there watching,
my brain paralyzed by the shock of
the discovery.
Then I went back to the sleigh, on
the rear of which the frozen fish was
piled. | noticed that 1t had faint.
