ENDS HIS 5OTH YEAR
 AS ENGINE DRIVER

pride, by byt f'e it waS ps'H spread eo all over "s the face of 75-year-old William A. Johnson as he stepped from locomo- tive No 5I4 in Nyack, N G, at o'clock one evening last week. It was the conclusion of his eighteen thousandth trip between Jersey City andNyack and Of his 5oth year as an engineer on the northern branch Of the Erie railroad.
 There was a Celcbration-just to let him know he is appreciated. There were members Of the Nyack Tribe of Red Men and Of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Engineers, ol both of which he is a member, and gathering of his family and citizens
 in general. The family included sev- eral great grandchildren. But it was really just a lay over, for Engineer J Johnson operated the Nyack Flyer back to Jersey City as usual at 6 o'clock next morning.
 No. 5I4 IS IOhnSOn'S own lOCOmO- tive William A. Johnson is inscribed in big gilt letters on both of it's sides. This honor Was conferred on him several years ago as a token of his honorable post as the oldest engine driver on the Erie system. The Nyack Flyer, which he has driv en without accident for 25 years is the c ack train of the Northern l)rNIS- oin of the Erie. Six days every week MT. Johnson rises at AIS, leaves Nyacl1 with the Flyer at o o'clock and makes two round trips a day, ending al p. m.
 MT. Johnson was born in Orange burg, Rockland County, N. \ He entered the E,ric's employ as a ma chinist apprentice in 1865 and has worked for no other concern After serving as a fireman for several years he was promoted to engineer May 20, 1872.

BUILDING TRADES
 LABORERS TO SEEK
 72 CENTS AN HOUR
New Haven Men Want Same Scale
 as Elsewhere in State.

With their organization perfected and more than 25O members already enrolled the building trades laborers of New Haven are now preparing to demand a wage scale of 72 cents an hour the same as is paid in Hartford and other cities of the state for these semi skilled workers. The New Ha- ven men consider themselves just as skilled and valuable as their Hartford fellow workers and therefore entitled to the same wage scale.
 The laborers, not being organized, were subjected to a great drubbing in wage cutting under the open shop drive against the building trades here 40 cents an hour while the other trades either held their wage scale or suffered but very slight reductions which they agreed to assume. The wage paid laborers in New Haven is therefore nowhere near the standard for a living wage anywhere in Amer ica just now and they are therefore to demand more.
 Another provoCation they are sui fering is the fact that the big outside contractors who are able to carry on the big work going on in New Haven at present are paying their building laborers 87 cents an hour and employ ing a large number of out-of-town men at that scale to the detriment of New Haven residents and business men The outside contractors are not at fault for this inasmuch as they point blank a year ago refused to have anything to do with the arbi- trary rates set by the Builders Ex- change here and therefore are i'm porting their own men also. The date when the demand will be made has not been definitely decided but it will be in the near future.

COAL STOCKS DROP AS STRIKE ENTERS
 ITS SEVENTH WEEK
Union Lines Continue Firm, Aug mented by Walkouts ot
 Non-Union Men.

The situation at the end of the sev- enth week of the miners strike con tinues practically unchanged, with the exception that stocks of surplus coal arc diminishing and the inevit- abel pnich is coming along.
 When the strike started officials of the miners declared that it would be a waiting game for at least two months. They then said that the workers were prepared for a long contest, but that their lines would be firmly held. This prediction has been fully realized
 The United States Geological Sur Vey reports that accumulated stocks are diminishing at the rate of about 100000 tons a week, and that the average production per week is not in excess of t hat amount. It was the belief of mine owners that the non union fields would be able to do much better than that.
 They were not expecting, however, the walk-outs in Connellsville, in the Somerset region of Pennsylvania, and i'll other unorganized fields. The ten- acity of the miners in the Councils vile district, which has been entirely non-unlon for more than 30 years, is proving the big surprise of the strike The Steel Trust, which dominates this section, has resorted to it's favor 1te devices of intimidation and Coer- som without any appreClable effect.
 Organizers, for the most part vol- unteers, have broken through the cor don of deputies and gunmen thrown about the Connellsville district, and wherever they get the ear the work CTS a walk-out as a rule follows.
 As much may be said for the Penn sylvania Railroad dominated section of Somerset and Fayette counties in Pennsylvania There the civil author ities have bludgeoned organizers and have locked them Up when they were not deterrcd by rough manhandling. The state constabulary, known as "Cossacks,' have been particularly violent in their dealings with strik ing workers. Berwind-White and other non-union operations have lost many men, and their production has correspondingly dropped off.
 Only desultory talk of government intervention is now heard. That the question is still under consideration is admitted by spokesmen for the Washington administration. The only authoritative statement that IS made IS that the government will be pre- pared to act when "the public inter est" is jeopardized. That is taken to mean that when the accumulated stocks are depleted and the public is clamoring for fuel the administratio will come forth with some scheme designed to settle the dispute.
