REDUCTION IS AUTOMATIC s.Rjr Tiiat Kcdueed Rates Are Now in Force and That Further Reduc tion of Pay Would Be Abso lutely Vnjuet to Workmen. PLAN NO WAGE REDUCTIONS. NEW YORK, Feb. 21. Railroad of ficial here, commenting- on Presi dent Roosevelt's asking- for data that might shed light on all wage controversies between railroads and their employes. Indicated clearly to day that -wage reductions were not contemplated. . - CLEVELAND, Feb. 21. Warren Stone, Brand chief of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers, today made the following- statement In connection with the reported purpose of some railroad com panies to order a general reduction In the wages of employes: The threatened redaction of the wages of employes In train service 1 absolutely un justified from any point of view. Their pay Is based on mileage basis. (Tactically , plece-worlc. and they are only paid where these services are performed. Wages of employes In train service fall parallel with the shrinkage in business plus increased living expenses away from home. When their earnings are $150 per month, their expense of living away from home is about 15 per cent, while at the present reduced rate of $70 which has to be met by hun dreds, under present conditions that ex pense will increase to at least 30 per cent of earnings because they are - held away from the home terminal until there is a full tonnage train to be bandied, making a total automatic reduction already In wages from 60 to 70 per cent. Reduction Not Necessary. The roads are getting the same return In freight receipts for the service ren dered as they did when the business was good and there is no necessity for asking men -to accent further reductions than re sult from the present business shrinkage, and the full power of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will be used if neces sary to prevent Rny further reduction be cause it would be absolutely unjust. William G. Lee, assistant Brand master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men, speaking on the same subject dictated the following: The wage-workers have not had a thing to do with this panic and loss of business except to suffer from the mismanagement of some, employers and speculators who blundered in the game of dollars on Wall street. If be works he produces 1uBt as much per hour as he ever did. His living expenses are Just as high as before. All classes of trainmen are paid by the mile or trip, and a reduction of mites, run or trips made means a reduction of the amount paid for by the employers. Ixthor Not to Illame for Ixsses. There can be no good argument pre sented why trainmen should receive lower trip or mileage rates for miles run. Freight trains are not run unless business requires it. CorP'orations never carry an overload of labor, but labor is usually compelled to carry an overload of capitalization. It is no fault of labor that financiers play with their money and lose, nor it it the business of labor to suffer the losses sus tained when Hs employers reach too far Into the fire and get their fingers burned. Our principal business now is to main tain the present standard of living, which means to hold to the present standard of wages, and nnless all signs fall, railroad employes will oppose to the bitter end any attempt to reduce wages. LONGSHOREMEN JOIN STRIKE More Schooners Tied Up by Strike or Marine JKnglTieers. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21. Fifty longshoremen employed by the Pacific Lumber Company in loading the Tem ple K. Dorr, struck today upon being notified that their wages were to be cut from $4 to $3.50 a day. It is anti cipated that other firms will follow the lead of the Pacific Lumber-Company, and last night the Longshoremen's Union passed a resolution to the effect that the members will strike as fast as the reductions are announced. Ten additional steam schooners owned by members of the Steam Schooner Owners' Association were laid up at Oakland and Sausallto to day and their crews discharged. In all. there are now 60 steam schooners tied up out of a total of 101 vessels. Seven of this number are owned by companies not members of the asso ciation. Three of the seven sailed from this port today, the Samoa for Eureka, tho Bandon for Bandon and the Jo hann Poulsen for Portland. Indications now are that the lockout of the marine engineers will result In an almost complete tleup of the Coast shipping for a time, as it is understood the Seamen's Tnion of the Pacific' stands behind the engineers and long shoremen and the owners seem deter mined to make a big fight for reduc tions, both of wages and the number of men employed on the vessels at this time. KAIlyROAD MEN. CONSIDERING Alarmed at Iteportod Reduction of Wages on All Roads. XF.W YORK. Feb. 21. A commit tA of 25 railroad men, representing the Brotherhood of Locomotive F.ngln oers. Locomotive Firemen, Railway Trainmen. Railroad Conductors and Railway Telegraphers, met here today to take action on the reported reduc tion of wages by railroads in the coun try. President Newman, of. the New York Central, sent a communication to the meeting to the effect that no re duction in wages on the Central or allied lines Is contemplated. WIIJj OBEY NINE-HOUR LAW lliK-k Island and Santa 1'c to In crease Telegraph Force. TOPEKA, Kan., Feb. 21. Both the Kock Isand and Santa Fe railways will Increase their force of telegra phers to comply with the new Federal nine-hour law. At a meeting of Rock Island superintendents here it was de cided o Increase the force In this and the Southwestern district by 56. Ap proval of this action was received from Chicago. ' The superintendents .of the Eastern grand division of the Santa Fe met last week and decided on an Increase, and are now waiting to learn the number of new men allowed by the officials in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2L The Illinois Su preme Court at Springfield yesterday de cided that a labor union's unfair list is in effect a boycott and could be enjoined. The case was brought by John E. and John T. Wilson, livery and draymen of Sparta, III., and owners of the Sparta Auditorium. The suit was brought by these two men against Roy May and other union labor men of Sparta. The Wilsons were hauling brick for a schoolhouse in 1900. The local of the TeamdriverB' International Union ordered another driver put to work. The Wilsons appealed to President C. P. Shea, but he refused to interfere. Then a notice was printed that the Wilsons were unfair. IN CASE OWNERS WISH NAMES KEPT SECRET. Addresses Circular to All Stock- i holders of Illinois Central After Injunction Is Dissolved. NEW YORK, Feb. a. Stuyvesant Fish has given out the following statement and mailed a copy to each of the Illinois Central stockholders: The Hon. Faxlln Q. Ball. Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County. Illinois, yesterday, dissolved the Injunction which he had granted on October 14, 1907, restrain ing the Union Pacific Company and the Railroad Securities Company from voting the 281.231 shares of Illinois Central stocks held by them, which constitute nearly three-ten-ths tto be exact. 'Ji).o per cent) of the total capital of Sou.400 shares. Proxies have been given to Charles M. Beach, J. Dow Cutting and myself by many of those' in the service of the com pany, by shippers resident on and near the railroad, by those furnishing it with ma terial and supplies, or interested in indus tries dependent on the railroad for trans portation and by others who. for various reasons, may not now desire to have it known that they have done so. As the voting on March 2. 1908. will of necessity leave In the hands of the Illinois Central Railroad Company a permanent record of all those in whose names proxies are voted, it Is due to the stockholders in America and in Europe alike, that I should say that if any of them wish to withdraw proxies given to Mr. Beach, Mr. Cutting and myself, they have but to advise me of the fact, in which case such proxies will be withheld from presentation at the stock holders' meeting and If so required, there after returned unused to those who executed them. Montana Grain Rates Rednced. BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 21. A special to the Miner from Helena says: Grain rates from Northern Pacific com mon points in Montana to Chicago have been reduced from 46 cents to cents, according to word received by the Rail road Commission. This is the result of a new agreement made by the Northern Pacific with the -Burlington. RETURN LIKELY BY SUEZ (Continued From First Page.) greater weight of metal can be brought within a shorter battle line. Hence all the naval powers are building ships carry ing only 13-in.ch rifles for offensive pur poses and a comparatively few small rapid-fire guns for defense against tor pedo attacks. He continued: The cost of the ehtps for the new Navy built, building or authorized Is J 309, M D.I HO. while the total expenditure on account of naval establishments since 18S3 is 1.244. -tM,09. But this vast expenditure la not. as may be claimed by some, unproductive. The construction of the ships of our Navy gave such stimulus to the iron trade that more mills were established, better material was produced, prices were lowered and iron and steel came into general ' use in all kinds of construction. so that now we are the greatest iron and steel manufacturers in the world. In 1SSO there were only 140.000 wage-earners in the iron and steel Industry of the country, earning $!5.O00.00O and turning out products worth f.i6.00,O00. In 1905 there were 857,000 wage-earners earning S5S2.00O.00O and turning out prod ucts -worth. g2,lTti. 000,000. The average wage increased from $400 to $300. The average waue of workmen in the Iron and steel in dustries will today more than pay the cost of all the vessels of our new Navy built, building or authorized, and one-half the value of the Iron and steel .product for a single year will pay the entire cost of the naval establishment since 1883. That the encouragement given this industry by the construction of ships of war had a very potent influence in bringing about this re sult cannot be doubted. And there is hardlv an industry In the land that has not been benefited in a similar way, though not per haps in so marked a way. The money ex pended on the ships of war was not, there fore, an economic loss, Judged by a single trade alone. Perkins' speech was made in support of the following resolution: "Resolved, That it should be the policy of this Government, while not adopting a continuous1 programme fixing any num ber of naval vessels of any type to be built In future years, to maintain its present relative position In comparison with the navies of the other great powers."

Thought That Japanese Traders nave Been Favored More Than .Other Nations Question to Be Brought Before Commons. LONDON, Feb. 21. Considerable inter est has ben aroused in official and com mercial circles by the reports sent over here by the American correspondents of certain London papers tha tthe United States Is about to confer with the powers with the view to protesting against the policy adopted by Japan In. Manchuria, it being contended that Japan's course has given her own merchants advantages over other traders in that part of Chinv Nothing is known here officially regard ing the proposed protest, and the For eign Office doubta the reliability of the press reports. Soma complaints have been received from Englishmen trading In Manchuria, but the official view is that it would be difficult to establish the fact that Japan has not observed the policy of the open doop. With regard to the cancellation of the contract held by a British firm for the extension of the Hsin Min Tun-Fayu.men Railroad, the Foreign Office has advfried the contractors that the case is one in which Great Britain cannot interfere and that it is for the sole consideration of China and Japan. The contractors inter ested are Influential and the question will be raised in the House of Commons. DROP SUPERANNUATED MEN Plan to Deduct Enough From Wages for Pensions. WASHINGTON, Feb 21.

Uncertainty Produced by Contest Tor Bristol's Office Causes Accu mulation of Business. United States Judge Wolverton and United States 'Attorney Bristol held a long conference at the Federal building yesterday, and although neither would discuss the meeting, it is known that the calling of a Federal grand jury ' was among the subjects considered. It will .soon be a year since the grand jury -met that indicted the members of the Pacific Coast furniture trust, and as a result there is pending a large number- of mat ters that should be inquired into by the grand jury. In the Federal Court the usual prac tice is for the District Attorney to re quest the presiding Judge to order a grand jury assembled. When such an application is made, the judge acquiesces and the prediminary work of the court is disposed of. B-ut owing to the uncer tainty produced by the contest for the office of District, Attorney. Mr. Bristol has delayed purposely making a request for a grand jury, hoping that the con troversy over his successor " might be settled and some man named to take charge and relieve him (Bristol) of the office. But the work of the c'ourt is be coming so congested that It will soon be necessary to call a Jury and dispose of pending alleged offenses against the Gov ernment Not fewer than 20 persons are either in jail or under bonds awaiting an Investi gation by a Federal grand jury. Some of these against whom accusations have been made either have been in jail or out on bonds since the last grand Jury adjourned early last Summer. Included among the criminal cases that should be investigated are some alleged postoffice robbers and others who have been circulating counterfeit bills. Cold Ware Damages Fruit. ' NEW ORLEANS.

DEATH DUE TO ACCIDENT Reading In Bed, Turns Off Lamp cock Tube Is Disconnected and Gas Pours Out Prominent In New York Society. NEW YORK, Feb. 21. Mrs. 'William Burden, who was Natica Rives, daughter of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, and a society woman of New York, Newport and Wash ington, was found dead in bed at her Fifth avenue home today. ' Death, the coroner decided, was accidental and due to gas poisoning. A disconnected gas tube which had led from a chandelier to a drop light so placed last night that Mrs. Burden might read while propped up in bed, had permitted a flow of gas that filled the room. Mrs. Burden was 22 years of age and since her marriage on April 17, 1907. she and her husband had occupied the beau tiful home of the latter's father, the late James A. Burden, at 908 Firth avenue. The discovery of -her death threw the household into confusion and when the facts became generally known, created a sensation in the social set. Mr. Bur den had spent the night in another part of the house and learned of his wife's death from the servants who had entered her room at 10 o'clock this morning. En tering the house at 11 o'clock last night, Mr. Burden had noticed that a light was still burning in his wife's room and pass ing the door called out "Good night!" Mrs. Burden responded "Good night," in a tone that indicated that she was In her usual health and spirits. Apparently having become drowsy, Mre. Burden had reached from her bed and turned off the lamp cock instead of taking the trouble to get up and shut off the gas at the chandelier jet. The dead woman lay as in sleep without a sign of physical or mental disturbance. Near the open window, to which he had crawled, and almost dead from gas, was found Mrs. Burden's little pet ter rier which had been permitted to sleep In the room. Mrs. Burden was the daughter of the first Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont, who was Miss Sally Whiting and who se cured a divorce some time after her daughter was- born. She retained cus tody of the child and afterward mar ried George 4 RJves. at one time cor poration counsel of New York. Following the divorce of her mother and the adoption by Mr. Rives the daughter took the name of her mother's second husband and has always been known as Natica Rives. William P. Burden is a nephew of I. Townsend Burden and has a large in terest in the Burden Ice Works, at Troy. KANSAS SOLID FOR BRYAN Name Greeted With Big Demonstra tion by Democrats. HUTCHINSON. Kan., Feb. 21.-Kan8as Democrats in State Convention here this morning unanimously adopted a resolution instructing all delegates to the Denver convention, both State and Congressional, "to cast a solid vote for the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for President of the United States." A great demon stration lasting several minutes attended the adoption of the resolution. This was the most largely attended Democratic convention in Kansas in years. W. H. Ryan, chairman of the State Committee, in calling the convention to order, declared that Kansas has a united Democracy that had cast 1GO.OU0 votes at the last election and said that if the elec tion were held now there would be 60.000 votes added to this. tHe referred to what he termed the "robber tariff," and this remark elicited much applause. Mr. Ryan Introduced Grant Harrington as tempo rary chairman. At mention of tthe name of ex-Senator William A. Harris, wiiose friends are booming him for re-election to the Senate, there was much applause. But the great est demonstration came when Harrington mentioned the name of W. J. Bryan. "We want to broaden out," he said. "If a man comes up to vote, if he is for Bryan, it makes no difference what , his grandfather w-as or what his former po litical affiliations have been, let's wel come him." . The name of the Nebraskan was cheered for several minutes. Tliis demonstration was renewed a few minutes later when resolutions binding the delegates to Den ver to vote for the nomination of Bryan for President were read and adopted unanimously with a whoop. The delegates were "directed and instructed to cast the solid vote of the state of Kansas for the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for President of the United States, the de sires or wishes of any individual delegate or delegates to the convention to the con trary, notwithstanding." Oklahoma Democrats for Bryan. MUSKOGEE. Okla.. Feb. 21. William J. Bryan will be unanimously endorsed at the Oklahoma Democratic State Conven tion, which will meet here tomorrow and a solid delegation will be sent to the Denver convention instructed to vote for him as a unit on a platform that he may favor.
