facts however much they 'hurt'. Is
meant to better conditions." The
first class, it was declared, are
those who "viciously and immorally
fight any movements which would
mean lessening of their sordidly
secure financial returns." The sec

11' THE AXTMit X LAW
Berlin, Xov. 14—The govern
ment has formally taken up the
question of framing an anti-gun law
in Germany similar to the Sullivan
anti-fire-arm law jn New York. The
step was taken because of the ver
itable wave of murders and crimes
committed hero in the past few
months by j$u>i carriers. A por
tion oT the military press hjis ar
rived Kself against the proposed ley:
islatlon on the ground that forbid
ding the carrying of arms tends to
"soften and weaken" the people of
a nation. The arms industry, one of
the largest in all Germany, also
is raising voice against such legis
lation. The Xcubte Nachrichten of
Leipzig, an 'nfluentlal paper, de
clares "the raising and training of
the German youth is already affect
ed too much by a sickly, senti
mental weakening of. martial spir
its."

H. J. LYNCH
Leading Ladies' Furnisher and Haber •
dasher of Skagway
Chicago, Nov. 14—Wage scales,
affecting 250,000 men employed on
tho sixty seve.i trunk railroads
west of Chicago, were to be fixed
when representatives of the three
big organizations of employes and
the Railroad Chairman's Associa
tion met here Monday in a confer
ence that may be prolonged for
many weeks Without exception the
men will demand increased wages,
shorter working hours in many in
stances, and Improved working con
ditions. - The representatives of the
roads publicly r-i.nouuced that if the
present wage scale is to be al
tered at all, thf.v will demand that
wages be lowered.
Preliminary to the big confer
ence, sixty representatives of the
Brotherhood of Railway Conductors,
headed by President A. B. Garret
son, have been in Chicago for two
weeks, attempting to agree upon a
definite wags piogram to be sub
mitted to the representatives of the
roads. During th esame period tho
railroad chairmen have been in al
most dally conferences, preparing to
meet the dema.ids of the men. With
the recent arrival of President War
ren S. Stone of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Englnmon and Firemen,
and representatives of that organ
ization, the stage is all set for tho
big battle. The enginemeu and
firemen are expected to come to a
formal agreement upon their de
mands within a few days, and then
appoint a suo-conunjttee to confer
with sub-committees already appoint
ed by the otner two organizations.
While the nature of the demand to
be made upon the railway chair
men by thes .• three sub-committees
will not be known until they have
■net in confertuce, it is understood
that the men will demand an in
crease of wages averaging from 5
to 7 per cent, strict enforcement
of the federal hours' of service act, j
shorter hours on many runs, and
enforcement of the fuil crew law in J
those states where such legisla
tion has been enacted The men wll
argue that increased cost of living
has not been met with wage increas
es Jn the past, and that, because of
superior transportation facilities, eac
individual employe is now contribut
ing more to the profits of the rail
roads than at any time in the past.
The railway chairmen ape expected
to argu« in reply that legislative
enactments have decreased their
profits to such an extent that they
.ire not able to meqt the demand fo
the increase. I The three, organi
zations represented I at the confer
ence have a crmilted mmebership o
about 150,000, but the wag# scales
to be evolved from the meeting will
affect not on ouly those but at least
100,000 more railway employes, ac
cording to union officials, who work
as helpers.
Present contracts, made by the
organizations with the individual
roads, will begiu expiring this mont*
niul v.ili have all expired early
next year. Employes 0f certain of
the roads are backing a movement
for "consolidated contracts." They
want the Order of Railway Conduc
tors, for instance, to sign one con
tract, to which all roads are par
ties, instead of signing a contract
with each individual road. This
movement has the opposition not
only of the railway chairman, but al
so of a large share of the men, and
I is not likely to succeed.

PANAMA-PACIFIC EXPOSITION
OPENS FEBRUARY 20, 1915
With regard to the opening date
of the Panama Pacific International
Exposition, President Moore of the
Exposition Company has authorized
the following statement:
"The Exhibit Palaces for the
Panama Pacific International Expo
sition are being constructed on a
schedule which calls for their full
completion July 1st, 1914, giving
nearly eight months for the In
stallation of exhibits before the op
ening day. With the exception of
the Fine Arts Building, every one
of , the twelve Exhibit Palaces is
now under construction and as a
whole the construction work is
slightly ahead of schedule, i There
is no apparent reason why all the
buildings will not be completed from
eight and a half to nine months be
fore the openiug day. The work of
planting and beautifying the ground
is far in advance of schedule.
"Every square Inch of I exhibit
space in the Exhibit Palaces ha®, to
this date, October 23d, been ap
plied for. In some of the buildings
it has been up to 25 pep cent ov
er applied for. This is a record
entirely unprecedented in the work
of Expositions 'at a corresQondiug
time before opening. Bj^the time
actual allotment - of space is made
it is believed that applications for
space will be from five to six
times greater than the entire space
available, giving opportunity for
the rigid selection which is the key
note of the policy of the Exhibit
Division.
"At this time, October 23d, ev
ery foot I of the entire Beventy
three acres of the amusmeent dis
trict has been sold to the conces
sionaires and the .building of the
pavilions of the concessions has
already been begun. This is also
a new record in Exposition work."
The officials of the Exposition
promised that the Exposition would
be completely ready on the opening
date and this itatement is now re
affirmed with the positive assur
ance of its liberal I fulfillment.
Please call this to the attention
of those who will be interested and
advise any ono who mentions 'the
matter accordingly.
