Second St. MONDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 21, 1916 RAILROAD RUMBLES WAGE DEMAND IS NO SMALL MATTER Railway Gazette Claims It Is Fight Between Employes and Public The controversy between tha rail ways and their train service employes over "the demand for a 1100,000,000 a year Increase in wages," otherwise the demand for an eight-houf day, is no ordinary struggle between capital and labor, says the Railway Age Oazett* in an editorial In Its current issue. "In directly," tho Gazette says: "It is a struggle between the 20 per cent, of railway employes, who are the highest paid workingmen In America, and that SO per cent, of railway em ployes and of the public who are not as well paid. "If the proposed Increases In wagea are made, either they will be or they will not be offset by increases In rates. To the extent that they are not thus offset they will make it extremely dif ficult, or even Impossible, for the rail ways for years to come to increase the wages of their other employes. To the extent that they are offset by In creases In passenger and freight rates '.lie consuming public will pay them." The average pay of the 309,000 train service employes who are demanding an increase, the Railway Age Gazette shows, from the Interstate Commerce Commission statistics in 1914, was $1,253.73 a year, while that of the 1,- 381,000 other employes was only $684.78.

HILL PEOPLE INARMS AT NEW ARSON OUTBREAK [Continued From First Page.] tendent of detectives, said this morn ing that his men are working steadily 011 the cases which have been reported Ito them by Fire Chief John Kindler, | but that so far the fires in the three I school buildings and those of yester day morning have the department baffled. The flames yesterday were started in the three stables near Fifteenth and Derry by applying matches to large bundles of oil-soaked waste. The plan is similar to the one used In firing the Shimmell, Vernon and Forney school buildings, the authorities say. Five flres were reported within five hours, beginning late Saturday night, and at least four of them are believed to have been started by an Incendiary. The first Are was discovered in a be: car 011 a siding ot' the Philadelphia and Reading Railway at Ninth and Market | streets shortly after 11 o'clock Sat urday night, but the car and most of its contents were destroyed before the liremen arrived. Scarcely half an hour later the fire men were called out to fight a blaze in the Ivfinprletz lumber yard, at Cam eron and Mulberry streets. The loss here was slight. The flames hail started in two places and some of tho lumber was soaked with oil. The next lire was discovered by Charles Barn liart, a dairyman at 1430 Derry street, who found a large bundle, of oil-soaked waste burning in his stable in Thomp son street. The door had been broken open and while Mr. Barnhart was ex tinguishing the burning waste he saw (lames in the adjoining stable, owned by Mrs. Annie Kichman. The tire companies were agrain called out. but had the fire under control before any serious damage had resulted. During the investigation in the stable owned by Mrs. Kichman another large bundle of burned waste was found. H. I'. Stamin, of Fifteenth and | Derry streets, awakened by the clatter of the fire apparatus, then began a tour of inspection on his premises and as he entered his stable found a bundle of oil-soaked waste, but the match h;ul not ignited it, and Mr. Stamm believe.-s that the incendiary was frightened away before lie succeeded in starting the fire.
