Admitting that any move for economy by any railroad is lustided now. so far as lessening the working time of employees and with drawing trains is concerned, i fail to see where any railroad, particularly the New Haven, would be justified in reducing the wages of its employees for the time they work. ‘Thsrc is but one of three things for the employees to do when a reduc- tionlflf this kind is made. They must sub it, strike or quit their plsdls and look for positions elsewhere. i have been in years in an oillcial capacity with labor organizations and my dis- tion is not unknown to General anager Higgins and other oillcials of the New Haven road l claim to be conservative. if they deny that claim that is their right, but I will say that I can see no 2 reason why the wages of employees should be reduced. ' agreement made with tho tol- egrap on on the New Haven road was signed by General Manager Higgins last June with fuilknowlcdge that the law which recently went into effect. providing that telegraphers could not work as many hours daily as formerly. At, that time the men had asked for an increase in wages. amounting to about 15 per cent. in view of this law l recommended that the dolnanded increase be cut in half and that was done. The telegraphers made many concessions to the company at“ that time, because Mr. Higgins requested that we consider the effect this law would have on the, expense account of the railroad company. The teleg- raphers at that time by their concil- iatory attltnd secured an amicable adjustment 0 their affairs with the railroad, not expecting that their wages would be reduwd when busi- ness was slightly off color. “0f the old line railroad organiza- tions the engineers, firemen. conduc- tors, tralnmen and telegraphers the latter receive the lowest scale of wages and yet with the man behind the key much responsibility resis. if there is a wreck it is usually the operator who is blamed; witness the recent case on the Boston and Maine, and therefore they should be the last branch of the service which suffer a reduction in wages."

A most ploltsbls ssrsvics. at which new decisions to load a better life. were made, was held last evening al’ the Norwalk Methodist Church. The Scripture lesson was a part of the thh Psalm, and also the parable of the man seeking pearls, in Matthew xiii. she took for her text John xix" 5, ”Behold the man.” She opened her address with an account of the un- weanling efforts made by a mall to rescue another from nuicksond, and then told of the Christ who came to rescue men who are in the mire of doubt, despair and sin. By His ex. periences here on earth Ho knows how fill and tempted. For a few brief years He took up the carpenter's tools and worked alongside toiling human- lty, Just to get in closer touch with the tellers of earth. We read or the merchant who went about seeking: pefltllnllld ilnding one of special val- .le, he sold all that he had in order to purchase it. Jesus looks down on the sinning. marred lives, and sees beneath all the rubbish the pearl of infinite value to the heart of God—- even the human soul. To the untraim ed eye, the diamond in the roll“ seems heautiless, valueless, and only iii to be cast aside. But the lapidary eagerly, picks it up and puts it among his treasures; for he sees in it a bean- tiful gem, fit for the Modem of a king. The world. saw very little in the bash- flli, awkward country lull in the shoe manufactory near Boston. years ago. But the searching eye of God saw a man whose lint-touched by the power of God, should tell the story of redeem- love fitil such persuasive power that hundreds oi men would bow before God in glad surrender. When Pilate brought Jesus out from the Judgment hall, he cried, "Behold the man," but the crowd said "Away with Him." Pilate, although he saw no fault in him. did not dare to stand for Christ before all the multitude, and so he, too, by his deed, Joins in the cry of the rubble, "Away with film." We, too, gaze upon the Christ, with Hisofler of salvnthiou, and what is our attitude? Do we say "Crown rilm," or "Crucify Him?" GENERAL BOOTH IN OARIIN. Gave An.

W “ ”m mission lisoisrs lilai L‘sbsr's Apprehension ls Brousdisss' wsalllsto'rou, yes. :1— industrial and financial circles have been more or less concerned today over what they regard as a prospect that the Miranda of the country have in con- templation a general reduction in we- ges of their employer. Bitch apprehension is practically groundless. information which has reached the inter-state commerce com- mission particularly and other oMoiais of the government who have a direct or indirect interest in industrial and railway mailers, indicates clearly that there is no concerted action on the part of the American railways to make sen- ersi changes in their wage scales now or in the our future. instances of proposed re-edlusiment of wage scales are cited in the cases of several south~ em Ii‘ltoilll, the Southern Runway, the Inuisviilel Nashville, the Seaboard Air Line and the Atlantic Coast Line being named as practically the only roads in the country which may be all footed. it is the intention of the oin- oials of the lines named to consider with their employee the question of a readjustment of some, at least, of the wage scales now in force. with a view of reducing their operating expenses. which they regard as necssary. The plans of the odldlals have not been worked out yet, even in a tenta- tive way. because it is their desire first to present the situation which con- fronts them fairly and impartially to their omployes. it is expected that the employes will meet than: half “ti, and no serious difficulty is ardicipate . The proposal in a generallway, will be to return to the wage scales which were in force about a year ago, when gen- eral advances in the payof men in the operating departments of the railroads throughout the country were ad- vanced. .l What conclusions will be reached it is not possible now to definitely forc- tell. Assurances have been given by the railway oiliclals that they have no dispositionto impose any hardship up- on their employee and they will not do s0. . One other line, the Chicago and Great Western, has been mentioned as like— their ‘ ressataiivcs and the employer to the effect at, the rsguistionssothat. as faraspcssiiiie. the massive oven time charges shall be eliminated.
