RAILROADS TELLS OF THE EXGIXEEB9 AJiD THEIB BISKS, A.D OF THE SIT UATION FORCED 05 THE KO ADS BT ISCBEASIXO TAXATIOX AND BEDUCED BATES. There Is now proceeding a hearing of great Importance to the railroads, and consequently, to the whole coun try, In the sessions of the Straus ar bitration board, convened to settle the questions between the railroads and the engineers on the demand of the latter made last spring for higher wages. An Impressive part of the testimony to that of the engineers themselves who in unflourlshed sentences are telling graphically of their duties In filling the posts of danger on the fast trains. The first of the engineers to go before the commission was Denn R. Wood of the Now York Central, who takes the Twentieth Century lim ited from Syracuse to Albany. With eyes on the celling this veteran driver of the Iron and steel horses told In direct laconic sentences the story of the fierce race through the black paces which he takes every other night: "I'm called at 12:15 a. m.," began the veteran engineer, "and I get to the round-house at about 1:15 I examine the bullotin boards, look over the engine, give It a thorough examination and Blgn the time slips. A hostler takes the engine out for coal and water and I ride with him to the depot. There I compare my watch with a standarl clock, oil up. try the brakes, put on the steam hent, compare my watch with the conduc tor's, get any orders from lilm that lie has, and we are ready to start." "What Is your running time between Syracuse and Albany?" he was asked. "Two hours and forty-two minutes. That's 148 miles in 162 minutes. We are allowed to make up twelve min utes for lost time, which we might drop. We can only go through 8vrn cuse at eight miles an hour, and there are nine other slow downs, so that we have to run about seventy ti seventy-five irllcs an hour to pet In ou time. In 148 miles wo meet HI stop signals, which I must loctt In nil kinds of weather, and If ny of them are out of order I report the number of the signal when we get In." "We get to Albany at 6:47 o'clock and there I take the engine to th ouse, give It a general Inspection, make a verbal report to a clerk, sign for orders, wire a telegraph report, and report to the chief signalman any signal failures." "What do you fear most on the Toadf Stone asked. "A freight train buckled up on an adjoining track," replied Wood. "If an air brake or a wheel buret as you go by It is all up." Wood Mid that he got $186 a month and that he made a trip every other day. This would mean $12.45 for each trip. , The Narrowing Down of Earnings. linnglne the dangers and responsi bilities which this man meets three midnights a week In fair or foul weather, In snow, In rain, in blizzards, In fogs, throughout the year. His vision must be geared for starlight, for moonlight or for black darkness or driving storm, to locate, as he lashes by, thoso 151 signals in 148 miles, the loss of any one of which might mean death In the ditch. Com' pare this with the comfortable day light hours of many other workers In counting houses and factories on the same or better wages. But to the railroads It Is not a ques tion of raising the engineers alone. If the "rise" Is granted, the door Is Irresltably opened to a half dozen other classes of workers, all the way down the line, entailing an Increase In total of $79,000,000 per annum to all the roads. And so the commission must give attention to the testimony of the pres idents of the great lines, showing a steady narrowing down of railroad i profits to the danger point of loss of credit, and the avoidance by Investors of railway securities which has al ready taken place to such an extent, as we noted last week, showing the dwindling percentage of new railroad Investment during the last half year. "The terminal facilities In our cit ies as a rule are wholly inadequate for any exceptional conditions," tes tified B. A. Worthlngton, president of the Chicago & Alton. "We will produce an exhibit giving you some Idea of the expenditures that a number of the larger roads will be required to make within the next dec ade, and the figures are something astounding. And yet we will hardly be keeping pace with the growing traffic of this country. If the rail roads today were to have a sudden inrush of business the same as we had In 1907 we simply would not be able to cope with the situation. The ra. i roads need money for all sorts of things. If the return on capital Is constantly narrowed down we are soon to reach a period when capital will not have much confidence In railroad Investments in this country, and the ultimate effect will be to retard the growth of the country.". And who is to blame for this con stant narrowing down of returns on capital In railroading? It Is not the engineers' demands. It Is the admin istration and the Interstate Commerce commission. Railroad Taxation In addition to higher costs In wages and material, the roads have been assailed with a fierce camnaien of taxation. In the ten months of the railroad year thus far, taxes for all roads have increased nearly $10,000,- 000. Since 1905 taxes have Increased from a given sum of $63,000,000 to an estimate for 1912 of $115,000,000. In other words, In seven years, taxes have Increased over 82 per cent The roads are now paying out for taxes over 13 per cent of their earnings, with the amount Increasing each year, and In the case of some roads enor mously Increasing. Can It be won dered that the conservative Investor Is shy of buying railroad liabilities w'hen the roads are between the devil of Increasing taxation and costs, and the deep sea of reducing rates?

The gravest apprehension Is felt today for the safety of Dr. E. H. Lyman and V. O. Buckles, of San Bernardino, Cal., who, while hunting Thursday, were lost In a terrlfflc rain and wind storm At 12:30 today no trace of the miss ing men had been found, although a large party has been seeking them for 36 hours. The men are without provisions. I Dr. Lyman and Buckles were mem ibers of an automoblllng party which left San Diego July 17, In three ma chines Intending to go from the Mex ican to the Canadian border. The two lost men left the rest of the party at the base of Mount Pitt, on Klamath lake, early Thursday to shoot game. Since that time nothing has been heard of them. The touring party Included Dr, and Mrs. E. H. Lyman, V. 0. Buckles, J. E. Gentry, of San Bernardino, and Miss Daisy Hartzell, of Los Angeles. The Sturgis is the Perfect Baby Carriage wrest fires which cost the state a large loss In timber, and also much expense In extinguishing fires. The state forester Is closely watching the situation and should forest fires break out and It develop that hunters are re sponsible for them, he will ask the governor to Issue a proclamation and cIobo the hunting season for he does not intend that vast areas of timber are to be destroyed because of the carelessness of hunters.
