Engineers to Mediate
Pay Raise Demands

The demand Of 10000 locomotive
engineers on the eastern lines for a
is per cent wage advance has gone
to mediation under the Parker-Wnt-
son Act, It was announced yesterday.
Rumors that compromise Of TN per
cent wage increase with sacrifice Of
working conditions would be agreed
TO prove foundless.
It Is expected that the board Of
mediation will grant the engineers
the IN per cent advance which other
railroad crafts have won.

Evidence that the present Transit
Commission, conducting the so-called
open hearings, began its career under
the guiding star of the big bankers
is to be found in the approval with
which Wall Street greeted the ap-
pointment of this commission.
Nothing is as sensitive as the stock
market. During the Hylan battle
against the traction trust, the stock
of the marlborough and B. M. T. had
moved listlessly on the exchange.
There appeared to be no solution to
the tangle Of knotted opposition until
AL. Smith came to the rescue and cut
the knot by dumping Hylan.
Immediately on the appointment of
the new transit commissioners in
April, 1926, the stocks of the l. R. T.,
the B. M. T. and the Third Avenue
Lines advanced as if under inspira-
ton. The /. R. T. stock in particular
rose to a new high level for the year.
How Wall Street, moreover, viewed
the Smith-WalSer administration is
clear from the fact that traction stock
began its systematic rise Immediately
after the 1925 elections.
Who are the men in whom the
financial interests are so confident?
In the first place they are through
and through AL. Smith men. Second
ly they are part of the new machinery
which the controlling banking inter
ests had set up under AL. Smith in
order to clean house in the old cor

trolled by Chang Tsing-chang, Shan
tungese war-lord, or Shanghai, con-
trolled by Chang Kai-shek, in view
of imminent capture Of Picking by
Hankow Nationalists.
PICKING, May 31.-The entire
Northern line in Honan Province has
been smashed by the twofold on
sleught Of the Hankow Nationalist
troops, commanded by General Fene
Yu-hsiang and Yang Sen. The North
ern authorities announced today that
all troops would be withdrawn from
the Honan front as a result Of de-
cisive defeats that Chang Tso-lin's
troops have suffered at the hands of
the Hankow Nationalists.
The prediction made by Eugene
Chen and Michael Borodin that Pek-
ing will fall by midsummer seems to
be justified in view of the recent vic
tories of the Nationalist in Honan.
The retreat Of Chang Tso-lin's forces
means the complete surrender Of all
of Honan Province south of the Vel
low River, of Anwhei Province and
the entire Lung-hai railway.
Capture 10000.
The straw that broke Chang Tso-
Inns Honan lines was the capture of
Kunghsien yesterday. (Kunghsien is
an important arsenal 40 miles west
of Chengchow and a strategic point in
the Nationalist drive against Pek-
ing).
The Northern troops were crushed
between General Feng's troops ad-
vancing from the Shensi border TO
the west and General Yang's forces
marching north from Hankow.
Reports received from the front yes
terday state that Hanlow troops took
more than 10000 prisoners and large
quantities of ammunition when the
Northern troops attempted to prevent
them from crossing the Loho River.
The Nortern troops we're reported to
be fleeing in panic.
Imperialists Plan War.
The imperialist powers are prepar-
ing to rush troops and warships TO
the Picking Tientsin area in view Of
the imminent fall of Pewing.
Japan has already dispatched 1000
troops to Tsing-tao from Manchuria
and is holding two thousand more ma.
rines in readiness for immediate trans
portation to Picking and Tientsin,
while British military authorities have
ordered a battalion of troops from
Shanghai to northern China.
