treated as are the representatives of the
ether . brotherhoods. Their well-known
conservatism they say. haa been taken
advantage of by the managers, who
practically have defied them to call a
strike, aewrting that tha men would
refue to go out. They also hare used
tha threat that the firemen were ready to
strp Into the places of tha engineers
the minute they left their posts.
The engineers, however, declare that
they have a perfect anderatandlng with
tha firemen, and they ara not at all
alarmed over the situation. Tha fight
being one for wages, the engineers say
tha Bremen will atand by them and that
the managers cannot get the men neces
sary to run the engines.
Asked regarding the carrying of the
mails. Mr. Stone tonight said that he
illd not know of any law that would
require an engineer to haul a. train out
of a terminal If he d'd not want to do
so. whether It carried mall or not. He
aleo asserted that the compulsory In
vestigation law In Canada would have
no effect on the situation and. should
a strike be ordered. It will tie up the
railroads la Western Canada as well as
la tha United States.

in advance. That one will be called
unless the managers come across with
a further increase Is just aa certain
as that wa are standing here. The
fact that the managers do not think
so will not alter the situation any. as
they will find out when It comes to a
showdown."
Engineers Get Worst of It.
Mr. Btone says that the advance given
the trainmen and conductors on the New
York Central lines alone last Bummer
amounts to more In a year than tha
demands of the engineers on every rail
road in tha West. TTie increase on the
Ave roads controlled by the New York
Central for the conductors and train
men amounted In tha aggregate to 11.
100. 000 a year. The engineers say that
they never have been given the same
proportionate Increase that has been
granted other employes In the train
service and that they have stood for It
nntll the firemen are getting almost aa
much wagea on some roada as the en
gineers. The trainmen and conductors, who
have been In conference with a com
mittee of managers for several weeks,
are keeping off a settlement until the
controversy with tha engineers Is dis
posed of one wsy or the other.
"The engineer Is on tha front end,
while we ride in the caboose, so we
must let tha engineers ahead of us."
said W. G. lre. prealdent of the Broth
erhood of Itallroad Trainmen today.
"They were first in the field with their
demands and we want to give them a
chance to settle before we tie ourselves
up with an agreement..
Though Mr. Lee would not discuss the
matter further, his remark was taken
to Indicate that, should the engineers
go out. the trainmen and conductors
probably would refuse to work with
non-union engineers.

YTlille Passing Treaclu? rous Goodwin
Sands, Grace Turned Seaward,
In Spite of Proximity to Shore,
and Hope Is Slight.
LONDON. Dec. 23. With .the ap
proach of midnight and no tidings yet
of Cecil S. Grace, the Intrepid young
aviator who disappeared Thursday af
ternoon while attempting a return
cross-channel flight from Calais to Do
ver In an aeroplane, the belief gener
ally prevails in london that the 'old
North Sea holds somewhere on its tur
bulent breast the story of a tragedy.
Every nook and corner on shore and
Inland where It was thought young
Grace might have landed, was searched
today, but unavalllngly, and the boats
that churned the Channel and portions
of the North Sea on the lookout for
the youtn or wreckage of hts machine
likewise reported their search had been
In vain.
Grace started on a flight that should
have taken about five hours. He wore
a cork jacket, but. In case of a fall
Into the water he would be cumbered
by his heavy fur-lined top boots. The
general belief Is that It will bo im
possible for his machine to float for
any great length of time and that, un
less the aviator was rescued by a ship
bound for some distant port, there la
no hope that he escaped death In the
sea.
Grace Ixises Way In Fog.
In the effort to outdo T. Zepwith's
mark for the longest flight, including
the crossing of the Channel, and there
by win Baron de Forrest's prize of
t-0,000. Grace tried yesterday in the
face of adverse weather conditions. A
heavy fog hung over the Channel and
obscured the aviator soon after he as
cended at Dover. He crossed the Chan
nel safely and two hours and a half
from the start passed over Calais. He
reached the Belgian frontier and was
going fast after Zrpwitn's figures
when he encountered adverse winds
that compelled him to turn back. He
alighted west of Calais. At 2U0 o'clock,
again ascending, he pointed his aero
plane toward Dover.
Grace was soon again enveloped In
the fog that had become dense. Those
who saw the start say he took a north
easterly course. It Is evident he lost
his bearings, for had be had his proper
direction he would have reached Dover
without trouble, for he had the power
and his aeroplane 'behaved well. In
stead of approaching Dover, however,
he was sighted later far to the north
east, over the Goodwin Sands, the ex
ceedingly dangerous shoals which ex
tend off the southeast coast of Eng
land, some seven miles east of Deal.
Near I.and, He Goes Out to Sea.
At this point the airman made a
grave mistake In his reckoning, for
with land but a few miles to the west
he veered to the east and when last
seen was heading over the North Sea.
At this point he was swallowed up by
the fog and since then, except for the
negative inferences to be deducted
from the absence of 'news, nothing
whatever has transpired to throw light
on his whereabouts.
A false report that he had landed at
Deal for a time cheered anxious
friends, but when this was disproved
every possible resource was appealed
to to find him.
Many vessels arrived from the North
Sea during 'the day, but none brought
word of Grace. Particular Interest is
felt tn the present adventure, as Grace
Is a sportsman aviator rather than a
professional flyer. He has broken no
world's records, but has made some
notable flights.
Grace Is of Noted Family.
He was born In Chile about 30 years
ago, the son of the late John Grace, of
the banking house of W. R. Grace A
Co., New York. Ex-Mayor Grace,
of the American metropolis, was his
uncle. He was graduated from Colum
bia University and when his parents
came to this country to live he studied
at Oxford. Since the death of his
father be has made his home with hta
mother here. He Is a member of the
Royal Aero Club. Like most aviators,
he has had a few tumbles, but none
proved serious. He first attracted wide
attention when his aeroplane suddenly
appeared out of the haze and maneu
vered over the British warships an
chored off Sheerness.
The start that he gave the navy em
phasized the possibility of airships as
instruments of war. He ued a Wright
machine at the time and after leaving
the harbor flew 60 miles In 51 minutes,
rising at one time to a height of 1500
feet. This was on April 30 last, and
more recently he haa given several
splendid exhibitions.

LOS ANGELES. Dec 24. Arch Hox
sey today made an Inspection from his
Wright biplane of the inner and outer
harbors of Los Angeles from a height
of 2300 feet. From this distance he
appeared a mere speck in the sky to
those below.
Hoxsey reported afterward that he
was able to see the ships and docks
distinctly from that distance, and could
have drawn an accurate war map of
the entire territory If his hands had
been free. He was In the air 28 min
utes and made an average speed of over
40 miles an hour.
