LABOR NIGHT
SWAP A CUT
FOR MORE JOBS
Railway Proposals Re-
jected So Far By Labor;
If Reduction Invoked,
Labor Demands Same
Percent Increase In En-
%ployment.

Organized railroad labor is bitterly
opposed to the 10 per cent cut in
wages proposed by the heads of the ma
TONS railroads in session now in Chi
cago, according to the opinions ex-
pressed by local labor leaders when
questioned by a representative of The
Waterman.
For the past several days, the rail-
road heads have been in conference
with the heads of organized railroad
labor in Chicago. Local labor leaders
have kept in close tab with the pro-
ceedings in Chicago and are bitterly
opposed to any reduction in wages.
The five-day week. put into effect
several months ago, has resulted in re-
Installing very few men, it is stated. 1t
was hoped this plan would give I'M
ployment to many idle workers.
If a cut in wages were made, labor
would demand increase in employment
by approximately the same percentage,
it is stated; although, the general sem
timent was bitterly opposed to any
cuts of any nature.
In the negotiations between rail
presidents and heads of brotherhoods
and unions, the labor delegation had
originally asked that IAN average
force" be assured employment for n
year. The presidents, stating in a gen.
eral way hat the wage reduction
would stimulate employment but at
the same time doubling that they
could give definite assurance of m
ployment, had asked for a more de-
tailed suggestion.
This was the answer Of the labor
group, considered to be the crux of the
entire negotiations:
would the railroads agree to guar
antee, during the period of which they
have proposed a pay roll reduction, to
maintain as a minimum amount of
work not less than the total man hours
worked by each class of employees in
the year 1892"
Since the number of man hours was
approximately 10 per cent less last
year than in 1880, this would mean
additional employment of about that
much.
The proposal is being considered by
the railroad executives, but no decision
has been announced.
Railway workers asked the employ
ers to explain why they thought a 10
per cent wage reduction necessary.
Labor, said its spokesman at the rail
wage reduction conference, was un-
willing to accept as arguments for
wage reductions either the claim OF
inadequate return" or comparisons of
the Isl Of living.
Instead, the union delegation sug-
gested detailed explanation of the needs
of the railroads to meet their fixed
charges and to maintain credit.
IF the railroads desire the employees
to give careful consideration" to the
financial arguments in favor of wage
reductions, David B. Robertson told
the rail presidents, cit would be advis-
able for the railroads to present a writ
ten compilation of what they regard
ed as important statistics"
The presidents agreed to submit
such figures, and the fifth session of
the negotiations, the shortest meeting
thus far, adjourned after an hour and
IS minutes.
The union leader said Daniel Will

That we'll known American Kettle,
the political pot, felt the heat under
it the first part Of this week, and has
now begun, if a bit slowly no less sure
ly, to emit some steam.
Both parties, it appears, will stage
the warmest primaries in recent his
tory. In each instance, the race for
sheriff will probably be outstanding
in public interest.
Three candidates appear likely on
the Democratic ticket, namely, Cal
L. Miller, incumbent; J. H. McKen-
zie, local merchant, and J. H. Krider,
former sheriff.
Three candidates may also enter the
race in the republican primary for
sheriff, namely, Ray P. Lyerly, form
er sheriff; R. c. Jennings, acting post
master; and G. R. Ketner, local mer-
chant.
Only one candidate has so far def
nitely announced. Max L. Barker,
former register of deeds and now a
member of the city council, will run
for a place on the board of county
commissioners from Salisbury town
ship.
1t is stated that w. Talmadge Shu-
ford, young attorney of this city, is
being groomed by a dominant faction
of the republican party for county
Craftsmanship to succeed ]. L. Rendle-
man, IT., who, it is understood, will
not seek reelection to this post. 1t is
understood hat MI. Shuford is not
aligned with or opposed to either fac
ton in the republican ranks and would
probably be acceptable t. the G.. O.

This Incalculable World.

Some extremely sane and sagacious
words were addressed to the West Point
graduating class the other day by Mai.
Gen. James G. Harbord, retired. mo
one who has known war;" said the sea-
soned soldier who was Gen. Pershing's
first chief of staff in France, cares to
look upon its ugly face again." and
then Gen. Hartford in a few incisive
phrases suggested to his audience of
future leaders of the United States
Army why wars will still come"
They may be expected, he said, while
envy. malice, deceit and the baser
qualities Of human nature remain.
while nations strive for commercial su-
premacy while populations increase in
territories that remain UNCHANGED and
while there are homogeneous races di.
vided by artificial boundaries in Con-
tinental Europe"
Gen. Hartford did not confine him
self to these abstract theories of why
wars will still come" He suggested
concretely that lit seems all too likely
that some day in the lifetime of this
West Point class our streets again NAV
be filled with marching men" by con-
juring up the pictures of the Philip
pines turned loose to become the prey
OF the strongest, the red menace in Rus
STA. the civil war going on casually in
China, Henry Pu-Yi shivering in the
executive chair of Manchuria Ind a
quota of hungry men and women in
every country in the world"
The lulled apostles of the delusion
that war is so "ugly-faced," as Gen.
Harbord knows it to be, that mankind
will never have to confront it again,
should paste his tabulation. of war
breeding potentialities in their hats for
reference purposes, They are so :ndis-
putable, SO self-evident, that American
believers in dry powder, sharp swords
and trained personnel can hardly be
blamed for losing patience with the
argument that Mother Earth has gone
peace-loving and peace-keeping beyond
peradventure OF breach.

An Incompetent Juror.

An important trial was brought sud-
denly to an end recently in New York
by the disclosure of the fact that one
of the jurors had day or 80 before
called upon the defendant with q re-
quest for assistance to obtain a loan
from a bank. The defendant in the
case is charged with perjury with re-
lation to the failure of the Bank Of
the United States. The juror first
called him on the telephone at his
country home and asked for an ap-
pointment without disclosing his iden-
tity or errand. AS soon as he saw
his caller the defendant recognized him
as one of the jurors and advised him
that his action was highly improper"
The Juror persisted, however, and asked
for assistance The matter was brought
to the attention of the court by the
defendant himself and the trial was sus-
pended, the jury was dismissed and the
offending juror was cited under q law
which imposes q penalty of ten years
imprisonment, or q fine Of $4,000, or
both. for any juror who asks. receives
or agrees to receive any money, prop
erty, or value of any kind, or any prom
Use or agreement therefor, upon agree
ment or understanding that his vote
shall be influenced thereby"
1t is quite plain that there was no
agreement. The defendant himself
spuracd the approach Of the juror and
sent him away. Immediately afterward
reporting the circumstance to the court.

A Remarkable Rescue.

Hausner. the Polish aviator, who es-
sayed the New York-Warsaw flight. has
Joined that rare company of overseas
land plane flyers who have been the re-
cipients of the most gracious smiles OF
Dame Fortune and been rescued from
a watery grave by passing ships. Given
up for lost for nearly eight days after
spectacular take-off from New York, the
Pole was picked up by small tanker
approximately five hundred miles off the
coast of Portugal. Confined to the
ships hospital by the effects of his or
deal, Hausner has been unable to give
additional details of his remarkable
rescue, which presumably was made
after he had chung to his wave-tossed
plane for five days. And thus ends
another ambitious over-ocean attempt
and furnishes new tale to be listed in
the annals of aviation.
Harry Hawker and Mackenzie Grieve
were the first to bask in the kindly
presence of Lady Fortune. They start

from their destination they fell into

Haldeman attempted the New York
Paris air route. Bafied by = balky
motor, they succeeded In landing near
a ship which promptly brought them
aboard, uniIljured save q thorough
wetting. About q month ago Lou
Reichers, when he was forced down,
Joined the group of survivors after a
daring rescue by Capt. Fried Of the liner
President Roosevelt.
OF these four remarkable occurrences
Hausner's and Hawker's are the most
spectacular because Of the time 1t took
to notify the world Of their safety.
Hawker, after q week or more had
passed, was given up absolutely for lost.
1t occurred to few. If any. that he
might have been picked up by q ship
without wireless. In the light Of his
experience it appeared that one chance
remained for Hausner, that OF being
rescued by a ship Of similar type. 1t
turns out, however. that the Polish
flyer quite evidently emptied his gaso-
line tanks before alighting on the water,
and that he successfully rode them as
pontoons In his f1ve-day fight with the
sea. The possibility that a land plane
would stay up for this length Of time
was universally discounted before the
Hausner demonstration.
So now it appears that hope must be
held out even when hope seems almost
gone for flyers who are unheard from
for days after the take-off. They may
be on some small steamer unable to
communicate the glad news or they may
be riding precariously on the fuselage OF
their stricken ships. Even with these
additional possibilities for safety there
is no gain and very little common sense
in continued attempts to fly either the
Atlantic or the Pacific in land planes.
