ROADS APPEALING"
TO THE FARMERS
ON WAGE RAISE
If OemMtfs Are Granted Tbe Farmers
. Will Navi Ti Pay Big Part Of
The Increase.
Washington, p. Though farm
?ra usually feel little Interest in j
railway labor disputes and are din- '
posed to think that such troubles are
friiunu from them unit cannot touch
them directly. in the pcndini; ques
tion between i lit) Brotherhoods *bf
freight trainmen and the railways of
the country the railways evidently
are making special effort to Inform
the farmers on the point a involved
mod to enliat their attention.
It la argued by the railroad man
agers that t tie final disposition of the
dispute will be made by public sent!
<ment. They reason that the farmer,
when it comes to a final "show
down, J really controls not only the
political power but the sentiment of
nearly all the states. Therefore, they
are trying to appeal to his horse
senHe. They are sending out a good
deal of literature directed especially
to the farmers ? probably the brut
time auch a course has been taken
in uny great labor struggle. They
say they are convinced of the gene
ral public's confidence in the horse
sense, the Insight and (he fairness of
the American farmer, and that, there
fore, bis influence must be powerful.
High Wages Now Paid
They are dwelling especially on the
argument that the freight trainmen
already are the highest paid laborers
In the world. They submit figures to
Show that in many instances freight
train employees earn from |76.00 a
month for the trainmen, or ''brake
man" as i hey used to be called, to
$250.oo a month for engineers, worlc
lnig from 22 to 25 days a month.
They tire asking farmers to inquire
Into the facts and convince them
selves that most of the talk of ex
cessive hours of labor on railways is
empty ami contradicted by the facts.
More than sixteen hours of continu
ous Work in railway service is for
bidden by law. The instances of
men kept on duty so long as slxeen
hours are a very small fractional per
centage of the total employment;
they become less every year, and al
most invariably are due to accident
or some unusual weather conditions.
The managers of the railway com
panies point out that the farmer him
self accustomed to from twelve to
fourteen hours a day of steady work
rarely earns in a year as much cash
money as a trainman, on duly from
ten to twelve hours, and never con
tinuously hi work, can earn," resting
from labor from one-fourth to one
third of his time. In the south it is
a familiar maxim that "it takes thir
teen months to make a cotton crop.''
The man w ho raises ten bales of cot
ton getii for n from $45000 to $600.00,
and from this must pay his fertilizer
hills and labor. The trainmen are said
f?> average Sson.no a year, this being
the estimate of the Brotherhood lead
ers themselves, and the engineers
draw from $1,600.00 to $2,500.00 a
year, the conductors and liremen
earning wages between those of the
trainmen and engineers.
Farmer Vitally Interested
Aside from the question of justice,
It Is pointed out that the farmer's
direct interest iti the matter is that
his welfare demands freight traffic
adequate to the needs of the country,
and that 'whatever injures the rail
roads or hampers their operation or
? prevents their development is a direct
injury to him. If the trouble should
develop a general strike of the freight
train employees, resulting in a tie
up of traffic, the farmer would be un
able to ship out what, he raises or
I to get In what he wants. U(> will be
asked to consider whether the rail
roads should be crippled by being
compelled to pay per cent increase
in wages to men already receiving
far more than the average prosper
ous farmer, with resulting injury to
the farmer himself ? and if the rail
roads are compelled to grant the in
crease and have to raise their freight
rates, the farmer will have to pay a
big part of the increase.
The present agitation is nominally
for the substitution of an eight-hour
workday in place of the present ten
hour schedule, but in reality It is a
move for an increase of wages. ?
Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
It is calculated that if a
general tie-up and paralysis of
all freight traffic should result
from the demand of the freight
trainmen for an increase of L'5
par cent in their wages, a large
number of the poorer people of
New York City would face star
vation within three days; in
other words, these people have
available supplies of food for
not more than two days ahead.
Other large cities would face
life? conditions. Milk supplies
would be cut off. and babies de
pendent on the daily milk jar
tor sustenance would be loft
to perish. The distress would
reach all classes everywnere.

MONK TROOPS TO IIORDEK.
I'neasiness Felt in Washington Over
Mexlran Situation.
Washington, Juno 1-. ^ ColncUlttUt
with continued rejiorts front consuls
all over Northern Mexico tolling of the
rapid spread of A nti-A merlon u feeling,
the wii r depa rtment today ordered
I.AOO additional regular t r??? ?p.s to the
border, Tonight Adiulnbdr'itlon otti
clals made no attempt to disguise their
uneasiness and it' was otllelnlly ad
mitted that there is growing alarm
over what the agitation may produce
and the |M?sslblllty of an attack on
(Jen. Pershing's expedition.
No ease of attack on the persons of
American residents in Mexico lots boon
reported, although there have been one
or two attacks on vacant consulates
and other American property.
Part of the increasing apprehension
Here is due to the renewed raids in
the Laredo region: ^Several reports
dealing with the situation there have
been received. Officials declined to re
veal details, but seemed to believe a
serious pnr|H?se was Inddud the bandit
raid 'on the (\>leunin ranch. Three
raiders were killed and three captured,
one re|H?rt said, adding that they at
tempted to burn a railroad bridge near
Laredo but failed.
The new force sent to join (ion. I?'un
s ton's border patrol. Secretary linker
said, was to till in gaps In the guard
such a* that near I redo. it will be
composed of ton companies of coast
artillery and a battalion of engineers.
The artillerymen will be withdrawn
from fortifications between Portland.
Maine, and Sandy Hook and the en
gineers go from barracks in this city.
The Secretary said there was no pres
ent intention of calling out additional
National -(Juard regiments for border
duty.
( Jen. Mann, commanding at Laredo,
reported today that n patrol of three
cavalrymen was tired ' on during the
night <>t' June in near the town of
I lachito. and Private \V. L. Saunders,
Troop K.. rjtli eavalr.v. slightly wound
ed. Tw<> 'mounted 'Mexicans, who did
the tiring, escaped.
A message from ('apt. I turragtv com
manding the battleship Nebraska. jU
Vera Cruz. sjiid there was considera
ble unrest in thnt region, due apparent
l.\ to the currency situation. There
were no evidences of unfriendliness
toward Americans, the message said.
Ii added that the farrau/.a (Jovern
incut bad been sending troops and am
munition inland, ('apt. Hurra go did
not know the object ot' these troop
movements.
