WILSON PLEADS
FOR RJ. PEACE
Men Willing to Lay Dispute
Before President.
BOTH SIDES ABE HOPEFUL
Whits House Confersncss Incressc
Prospsets That Big Strike Will be
Averted. »
President Wilson lias apparently
made such progress In his con
ference with the railroad man
agers and the heads of the bro.h
erboods, which are threatening a na
llon-wldc strike, that after he had
conferred with both sides It was
agreed the outlook was hopeful.
When the railroad managers closed
their conference with the president
they went Into a secret meeting to dls
cuss some proposal which the pret.l
dent had laid before them, as a reauli
of his earlier conference with tht
brotherhood leaders, Its nature wut
kept secret, but It was believed to be
that the president appoint neutral ar
bltrutort and thiuf satisfy the demand
of the men that they go before a board
which they considered BO constituted
as to give them a fair hearing.
The brotherhood mon, at their con
ferenre with the president, Indicated »
willingness to arbitrate If the presl
dent himself would bear the case, oi
possibly If he would appoint the i\ou
trail* on a large board, on which all
the brotherhoods would be represent
ed.
When the managers' committee lefl
tho White Ilouso, It was said the pros
Idnnt had put plainly before both slden
the Interests of the public and con
sl'lered that a decision rested with the
managers and the employes and thai
he could do nothing hut wait.
After the railroad men loft, Judge
W. I„ Chambers, one of the mediators
sgaln -unw the prosldent, and then
went to confer with the railroad man
agers at their hotel.
"I do not feel, any worse," sain
Judge Chambers.
After his conference with the rail
road managers, President Wilson Is
sued the following statement:
"I have met both sides and havr
gono over the ense with utmost frank
ness. I shall not be able to Judge until
later whether we have a feasible bosli
of settlement,"
Secretary Tumulty, who gave out th«
president's statement, rofusod to am
pllfy It In any way, saying that noth
Ing could he known definitely until th«
president sees the managers again.
If the president falls to persuade
tho railroad men and their employei
to settle their differences and a gen
eral strike Is railed. It will be direct
ed from headquarters In New York
This announcement was mado as th
leaders of tho four big railway broth
erhoods and the railroad managen
reached Washington for the confer
ence with the head of the nation. -
' At brotherhood headquarters In New
Vork It wns said that all preparatloni
had been made for putting Into effect
a strike that would stop every train
passenger and freight, on the 225 rail
way systems of the United States. Tht
critical state of affairs was Indicated
by the anxiety displayed In every big
Industry, which would be crippled by
the failure of transportation.

63 OTHERS WERE INJURED
Whole Families, of Doubly Celebrating
Groups Dead and Maimed—Motor
man Olas In Terror.
On their way to two great family
reunolons twenty-live persons were
killed and sixty-three others injured
in a head-on collision of trolley cars
on Southern Cambria Traction"'
line, at a point between Echo and
Brookdale, near Johnstown, Pa.
It waa a disaster unique In some
respects. The motorman of the second
or runaway car that caused the collis
ion, being unable to control his trolley
on the steep hill, seems to have faint
ed or fallen dead at his post aftet
[ waving his arms and wildly yelling.
> His car, running at least forty miles
| an hour, crashed into and telescoped
tbe other, coming toward him as At
teon miles an hour around a curve al
the foot of the hill, and what was left
alive of the human freight was crush
ed into compact masses st the ends
of the cars opposite to the Impact
The cars In the collision were the
one southbound from Ebensburg, and
another from Johnstown,, carrying ex
cursionists to the reunion of the Rib
blett and Conner families at Wood
land Park, and the majority of the In
Jured arc members of those families.
Running past the Southern Cambria
car barns at forty miles an hour and
passing a switch with undiminished
speed, the southbound car brought
about the collision. The exact clrcum
stances leading up to the wreck will
probably never be known, but It Is
quite certain that Motorman Angus
Varnor lost control of bis car, or thai
he fainted or was stricken dead at his
post.
In the flight of the runaway the con
ductor on the r&ir'end attempjed to
bring the car to a standstill by pulling
the trolley pole from the wire, but the
speed was too great. The runaway
dashed around a'curve a short distance
from Echo, and It was there that the
collision occurred. The force of the
Impact was terrible, and both car*
were badly telescoped and the crash
was heard more than a half-mile away,
residents of the neighborhood say.
: A portion of the roof of the Johnstqwn
car was hurled seventy-live feet, and
the Htenl and wood were cruahed as

LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Onoe In Five Years Deee Average
Trainman Exceed Lsgsl Limit. (
Thnt long hours In train service have
been reduced to n minimum is shown
by n report lnffued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Only one em
ploye In live on tho average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
thnn Blxteen hours during uny one day
In the whole year. Stated in another
way, the chance of an or
trulnmnn remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once in five years.
The total number of cases of excess
service from nil causes reported to the
commission was only 01,217 during the
year ending Juno 80, 1015, as com
pared with 137,430 In 1014 and 270,827
In 1013, ond with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes. ,
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion under the nntlonal hours-of-service
law. Every time a train is so de
layed by .a blizzard, wasbont or oth
er cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
bours the railroad company must re
port the occurrence to the commission,
giving tho names of the Individual em
ployes concerned and a full statement
of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been co-operating In efforts to
prevent the keeping of employes on
duty for long periods. The reduction
of nearly 80 per cent In such cases
which has been brought about In three
years shows thnt the working of men

has practically disappeared except In

HIGH WAGES OK
AMERICAN ROADS
Railroad Payroll Records Made
PoMic by tha Carriers.
MTIOMI INQUIRY URGED
Managers Offer to Leave Question of
Wage Demands to an Im
partial Federal Tribunal to Prevent
Disaster of a Nation-wide Strike.
New York.—What Is probably the
most elaborate study of wages ever
made In any industry has Just been
completed by the National Conference
Committee of the railways.
For six montha railway accountants
throughout the country have been en
gaged In collecting the payroll records
"to show the actual wage payments to
every Individual employe among the
800,000 engineers, conductors, firemen
and brakemen now voting on ..a na
tional strike for a new wage scale.
That these employes are one of the
highest paid groups of workers in any
Industry Is disclosed by the summary
ido public today by the railroad
lanagers.
The average yearly wage payments
to all ftouthern train employes (Includ
ing those who worked only part of the
year), as shown by the 1015 payrolls,
were:
Paasensen Freight. Yard.
Engineers *2.144 H. 712 01.910
Conductors 1.723 1,480 1,157
Firemen 1,086 Ott 080
Brakomen ........ 1.013 046 060
Three-quarters of these men (Includ
ing those who pot In a full year's serv
ice), earned these wages:
Engineers (road). 1,465 to $3,063;
(yard), $1,150 to $2,424.
Conductors (road), $1,853 to $2,600;
(yard), $1,055 to $1,740. -
Firemen (road), SO4O to $1,052; (yard),
S4OO to $1,802.
Brakemen (road), $755 to $1,854;
(yard), $754 to $1,406.
For the whole country the average
wages of three-quarters of the employ
es were:
Passenger. Freight. Yard. -
Engineers 02.007 11,892 01.026
Conductors 1,850 1,710 1.010
Firemen 1.203 1,117 024
Brakemen 1,096 1,010 1.070
The railroads have considered every
man whose name appears on the Janu
ary and December payrolls as an em
ploye for a year, no matter bow little
service he performed in the other ten
months. It Is pointed out by the man
agers that these averages are, In con
sequence, an understatement of the
earning power of these employes.
An Appeal to the Publlo.
The National Conference Committee,
In making these wage figures public,
says:
"Do you believe in arbitration or
Industrial warfare?
"The train employes on all the
railroads are voting whether they
will give .their leaders authority
to tie up the commerce of the coun
try to enforce their demands for a
$100,000,000 wage Increase.
"The railroads are In the public
service—your service. This army
of employees Is In the public service
1 —your service.
"You pay for rail transportation
$3,000,000,000 a year, and 44 cents
out of every dollar from you goes
to the employes.
"A $100,000,000 wage increase for
men In freight and yard service
(less than one-fifth of all employes)
U equal to a B per cent advance in
all freight rates.
"The mnnagers of the railroads,
as trustees for tho public, have no
right to place this burden on the
cost of transportation to you with
out a clear mandate from a public
tribunal speaking for you.
"The railroads have proposed the
settlement of this controversy either
under the existing national arbitra
tion law, or by reference to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
This ofTer has been refused by the
employes' representatives.
"Shall a nation wide strike or an
Investigation under the government
determine this Issuer*
I
TRAINMEN'S HIGH WAGES.
When 1 note from the reports
made to the Interstate Com
merce Commission that these
men receive average yearly
wages 50 per cent higher than
those of all other railway em
ployes, and practically double
those of the average American
wage-worker. It occurs to me
that they at least have leas
cause for complslnt than most
others. When I consider that
the average locomotive engineer
has an Income of over $2,000
a year, and that most of the
engineers who have been long
In service make from $2,000
to $3,000 a year, and when I
compare their hours, labor and
responsibilities with those of
the average small merchant,
- farmer or doctor, whose Income
Is far lees. It seems that In all
fairness they are well paid.—

If a set of conditions have
arisen which oblige the govern

Is equally obliged, on the basis
of economic snalysls, to regulate
wages accordingly. Having tak

Transportation Tie up Would
Paralyze Business.
FARMERS TO FACE DANGER
Could Not Market Crops and Losses
Would Run Into Hundrede of Mil-
I lone With Fectoriss Unable to
Operate Wags-sarnsrs Would Suffer.
From the viewpoint of the pub
lic It la an Intolerable situation
when any group of men, wheth
er employes or employers, wheth
er large or small, have the pow
. er to decide that a great section
of country • • shall under
go great loss of life, unspeak
able suffering snd loss of prop
erty beyond the power of descrip
tion, through the .stoppage of a
necessary public service. This,
however, is the situation which
confronts tis as a nation.—From
the Report of the Eastern Engi
neers' Arbitration Board (1012)
signed by Charles R. Von Hlse,
Oscar Straus, Frederick N. Hud
son, Albert Shaw, Otto N. Eld
lltz and Daniel Wlllard.
O
As a result of the demands for more
wages which the train service employes
of the railroads have been pressing upon
the transportation lines, the country is
face to face with the possibility of the
greatest strike and the most serious
Industrial catastrophe In Its history.
The engineers, conductors, firemen and
brakemejg on practically all the rail
road lines hsve voted to place their
entire Interests in charge of a few
leaders within 'heir organizations, and
to give these leaders authority to call
a strike If they wish to do so.
What such a strike would mean to
'the American people cannot be set
forth In more facts and figures. It can
be dimly Imagined by those who real
ize what an Intimate and vital part
transportation plays in every Industrial
activity of the country.
Cities Would Face Starvation.
There is scarcely.a person In any
part of the land who would not bo Im
mediately affected If the millions of
busily turning wheels tyx our nearly
three hundred thousand miles of rail
way were to stop for a single day. If
the tie-up,continued for a week, the
blow to the industry of the country
wonld be greater thnn that caused by
any panic of recent history. To the
big cities of the country, and particu
larly to the cities of the eastern sea
board, it would mean a cutting off of
food supplies that would place the In
habitants virtually in a state of siege.
In tho case of many food products
these cities do not carry on hand a
stock sufficient to feed their people for
moro than a week, and hi the case of
some, such as milk and fresh vege
tables, supplies are replenished dally.
The stoppage of transportation there
fore, would mean suffering and want
to these city dwellers, and If continued
for long would threaten many of them
with actual starvation.
Vast Lou to Farmsrs.
To the farmers of the country a gen
eral railroad strike would be a catas
trophe, only less serious*. Cut off from
his market, the farmer could not move
his produce, und the price of grain and
other staples would be quickly cut In
two, while the market value of more
perishable articles would disappear en
tirely. Tho strike would make It ex
tremely difficult to harvest crops In
many sections. It would make the dis
posal of the -traps Impossible, and
would Inflict losses amounting to hun
dreds of millions of dollars upon the
farmers of the country.
The great Industrial plants of the
country would soon bo forced to close
down following tho declaration of a
strike because they could not obtain
supplies needed for their operation, nor
could they ship their finished products
to mnrket Their plants would soon
be Idle, and millions of men would be
thrown out of work. \
With the income of practically
every clnss of citizens either seri
ously cut down or suspended entire
ly, merchants would transact little
business, because there would be few
purchasers. In short, the Industrial
activities of the whole country would
be virtually palsied from the moment
tho railroads ceased to operate. The
Injury to the railway companies and to
the striking employes would be enor-'
mous, but It would be Infinitesimal
compared with the staggering loss that
would fall upon the general public.

CONVICTS AS ROAD BUILDERS.
Warden Zimmar Rtport* Work of Illi
nois Man Excellent.
Fifty prisoners ore working In and
around the new epileptic colony In Illi
nois this spring In grading and road
building.
Warden Zlmmer of the state peniten
tiary In a recent letter to the nutlonal
committee on prisons reports great suc
cess In convict road work In Illinois.
The laws of that state require that
townships deslrlng'to secure the serv
ices of convicts for road work must
make application and enter Into a con
tract with the Institution. No work
can be done until such request has
been mode and contract entered Into.
The success of the work, Warden
Zlmmer states, depends upon the selec
tlon of the men for the work. Five
camps have already been worked In
Illinois and all corrled out without
ftlctlon or trouble of any sort. The
warden also emphasizes the Importance
of eelectlng officers for the camp who
are capable of supervising such a camp
and having charge of the prisoners In
the camp.
The national committee on prisons
agrees with Warden Zlmmer that too
much stress cannot be laid upon tho
selection of the men and the choice of
officers. The committee has brought
before the Society For Highway Engi
neering tho opportunity for the road
engineer In convict road work and the
need that engineers be specially trained
for this wort Upon the men in charge
of convict camps there Is heavy respon
sibility, but to the right man success is
assured.
THE HORSE WILL DISAPPEAR^
This la Predlotlon by Kansas State
, Highway Engineer.
That within ten years the horse will
practically disappear from the public
highways of Kansas for both pleasure
and business Is the prediction by W. 8.
Oearhnrt, state highway engineer. The
horse, he holds, cannot compete with
either the auto or the motor truck any
more than the old freighter with his
ox team could with the iron horse
driven by steam, and It really looks as
though old Dobbin will soon have to
stay homo on the farm with tho cows.
"These new methods of transporta
tion requlro sew and adequate systems
of highway construction and mainte
nance," says Mr. Gearhart. "The sys
tem of earth roads which the counties
and townships of Kansas built up and
were maintaining during the last six
years was probably the best and on
the largest scale the world had ever
seen, but tho rains, snow and frost dup
ing the past year have given them the
appearance now of European battle
fields.
"Until recently many KansanS had
begun to believe properly graded and
constantly dragged earth roads would
answer every purpose. However, It is
now clearly evident that if the main
roads, those highways radiating out
from the market centers and connect
ing the cities, constituting about 10 to
IB per cent of the total road mileage,
are to be maintained In the eastern
third of the state as 80S day highways
wblch will carry modern traffic at all
seasons It will be necessary to surface
them with more permanent material
than puddled earth secured by drag
ging the roads while they are wet"
