way. The reason for the soft-footing
tactics and the squeal of nlarm was a
heavy coat of floor paint. Along the
wall there was a strip about eighteen
Inches wide, leading to the director's
office. They could walk there, but they
didn't want to They were as nervous
as a cat crossing n railroad track
So far as is known this is the first
time that the straight and narrow path
has led directly Into the presence of a
director of nubile safety. Hut Po

after following the ladies into the ofllce,

This little duty done, we turned to
survey our jury. We found nobody
present but "Jimmy" Cortelyou and an
oulclsl or two. Mr. Cortelyou nodded
significantly toward a mirror, which
iieeoed over a acreen. There we could
nee, dimly through our norn-ritnmed
specs, the entire jury ot nine making up
Its mind. At any rate, that Is tha
beat we could ascertain.
Shortly the t emerged, radiant.
Mrs. Corteljou marshaled them forth
as proudly ns would the head mistress
of an exclusive boarding school. And
she was right She had a jurv before
which the Limerick Department bows
irt admiration.
It is an old adage that in situations
like this "there is safety In numbers."
Despite Mrs. Cortelyou s presence and
the beaming graclousnefs of her hus
band, we couldn't keep our society man
ners on straight. We smoked a strong
black cigar to soothe our nerves and
shouted at the photographer in a loud,
boisterous voice, just to make it seem
a though we weren't scared. Friends,
that was no Department of Public
Safety for your old editor. It waa a
Department of Personal Peril.
Only the twin facta of our age and
our shyness conspired to save us.
(Confidentially and this must not bs

whatever happens there was one young

RATE RISE HELD TOO HIGH
Increase of 6.4 Per Cent Ample,
Supreme Court la Told
Washington, March IB. (By A. P.)
An increase of 8.4 per cent in pas
senger rates on western roads, instead
of the 20 per cent allowed by the Inter
state Commerce Commission, would
have been sufficient to return the
amount set by the carriers themselves
na due them under the terms of the
transportation act, the Supreme Court
Is told in a supplemental brief filed to
day by John E. llenton, counsel for the
forty-two states which are co-operating
with Wisconsin In the so-called Wis
consin rate case.
Mr. llenton cited figures covering
earnings of the carriers to Illustrate his
point, and declared that UDon the basil
of these "no valid order could have been
made displacing Intrastate rates fixed
by the laws of Wisconsin."
Alfred P. Thorn, counsel for the Na-
tional Association of Railway Execu
tives, resumed his argument in behalf
of the carriers when the court recon
vened today. The closing argument wa
to be made by M. B. Olbrlch, special
conn til for Wisconsin.

UNSKILLED MEN SUMMONED
One hundred representative of all
the unskilled laborer on the Philadel
phia and Reading Hallway are xnertiBf
at th Bating Garden Street T. M. J.j
A., Mntii and HPTing uaraen arrrew,
to disruaa with oSciabi of the company
plana for a reduction of their pay
Aril 1. .. ,
The men, summoned by F. M. Falack,
general manager of tie Reading, rep
resent platform, warehouse and ntock
room laborera, freight handler, "baf
wv Tutrices, watchmen, engine win-
era, car clennera and all other unskilled
lalmrera.
It la expected that the management
of the Reading will nomit u tne rep
nwniiilrn n nlan far the reduction
of exlstine rates of pay. The labor
representatives may submit a counter
proposal, it Is said.
The Important railway conference be
tween the presidents of a halt doxen
large railroads and ns many national
labor heads is expected to be resumed in
the near future.
At the dose of the flrrt day'a aea
dou yeatcrdny neither T. DeWlU Cuy
ley, chairman of the Tfatlorlal Asaocla
elan nf II II war TCiectitires. nor the
labor leader -would tell the purpose of
the meeting. It is thought its ncepe
is national and that the railroad execu
tives will put the financial situation
frankly before the union leader in an
offnet tn hrin about a Better unuer-
standing between the men and the man-;
agrments.
'The meeting waa held in Mr. Cuy
lcr's offices In the Commercial Trust
Building. It la tha fait conference of
Ita kind that baa ever teen held in this
city.
At the conclusion ot yeaterday' ses
sion it was annouaeed that "satisfac
tory protress bad been made In the
discussion of matter of common inter
est." None of the eonferetu would ad
mit that the proposed wage reduction
announced last week by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad would come up for dis
cussion. It is thought certain, how
ever, that this matter will be brought
before the conference not merely as It
concerns Pennsylvania but the entire
country.
Warren S. Stone, head of the Hrotn
crhood of Locomotive Engineer, smiled
broadly when questioned m he left tha
conference :
"I can't say a single-thing." he !
The faces of the three other brother
