EXHIBIT SHOWED HOURS OF
LABOR OF MEN ON ENGINES
Second Exhibit Eevealed That En-
gineer! Earn an Average of
$143.17 Per Month.
Aistiiatii Prut Rtpert.y
CHICAGO. March .-An exhibit pur-
porting to show the hour which loco-
motive firemen and engineers work was
introduced before the board of arbitra-
tion in th Western railroad wage case
here today by V. J. Lauck. a statistician
It Indicated that 11.3 per cent of the
men work lesa than 10 hour; ST." per
cent more than 10 hours and 34 7 per cent
12 hours or more a day.
James M. Sheean attorney for the rail-
roads adduced that the percentages were
calculated from compensated time as
ahown In an exhibit by the railroads and
that therefor men who by the speed of
their trains had been paid for 12 hours
while they actually worked for instance.
10 hours would appear as having actually
been on duty 12 hours. It developed that
about 7 per cent of the compensated
time however was actually worked out.
Another exhibit gave the average earn-
ings of engineers as 1113.1? a month.
Mr. Lauck Introduced an exhibit to
show- what these engineers would have
earned had they worked an equal num-
ber of hours as brick masons plasterers
or plumbers. They would have earned
more but It was pointed out that the
engineer has the advantage of continuity
of employment.

WAR NO REASOli FOR
HIGHER SCHEDULES
Westera Trunk lines Not Tryisj to
Share Profits.
Trnnk Iinei Official Testified tt
Hearing That Decision to Ask
Higher Bates Was Hade i
Months Before War.
Asiociaiii Prttl Rtptri.)
CHICAGO. March . When th 41
Western railroad now seeking advances
In freight rates arranged thtlr higher
schedules It was not their purpose to
profit merely because higher prices were
paid for grain on account of the European
war. according to testimony at the Inter
state commerce commission hearing of
' the railroad petition' today.
I K. 11. Boyd chairman of the Western
Trunk lines committee testified the pro-
posed higher rates were decided upon by
the road four months before the war
began. Grain shipped between certain
' points is among the commodities upon
which higher rates are sought by which
the roads hope to increase their revenues
lt is said. $1000001)0 a year or an advance
of IS per cent of last year's freight
revenue.
Questioned by A. K. Helm representing
Kansas shippers as to whether the roads
merely were trying to share In the profits
accruing from higher prices for grain. Mr.
Itoy.l said:
"The railroads never considered the
I war. All we figured on was that the
rates should be reasonable. It would be
Impossible to run railroads on that basis
higher rates when wheat Is up and lower
rates when It Is down.
"As it Is at present grain shipped to
Chicago from the territory between the
Missouri and Mississippi rivers and from
Chicago to the gulf ports for export Is
not paying its proportion of transporta-
tion exoensea."
The advances asked for would leave the
rates lower than those prevailing In 190&.
The proposed rates are lower than those
prevailing to the Northwest although the
latter are based upon an undffly low sale
through the effect of the unreasonably low
distance tariff In Minnesota which Is
lower than anything west of the Illinois-
Indiana Stats line. They are lower also
than the rates into the territory east of
Chicago already pronounced reasonable by
i the commerce commission itselt.
I Grain Mr. Boyd said was not on an
equuauie plane comiiwreu wmi inner com-
modities. State control of rates had large-
ly affected rate schedules throughout the
country and had thrown adjustments out
of Joint which would otherwise be prop-
erly related rates he said. State rates in
Western territory upon which numbers of
interstate rates are built he continued
ar held down lower than the distance
rates In Illinois and the territory east of
Chicago although the latter have been
approved by the Interstate commerce
commission.

L. AND N. CASE IN SUPREME COURT.
Test Held on Right-of-way Dispute With
Western union.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON. March . The three-
year fight between the Lousiville and
Nashville railroad and the Western
Union Telegraph company over right-of
way privileges reached a climax in a
test case presented today to the supreme
court in oral arguments.
The western Union is seeking to con
demn a right of way on the railroad's
property in Louisiana. The railroad con
tends that this can not be done under
State law because congress controls the
right-of-way under the so-called "rail
road act of U66.
The case is expected to settle the con
troversy between the two companies In
some 10 fetates and to establish a prece
dent for other roads and telegraph com
panies.

UNITED STATES
WARSHIPS AGAIN
SENT TO VERA CRUZ
(Continued from Page One.)
according to official reports policed the
city well when they last were In com-
mand officials' were inclined to believe
that the crisis would be passed without
serious difficulty.
The Carrania agency nere announces
tonleht that the following had been re
ceived from General Obregon In reply to
telegram asking for Information about
conditions in Mexico City:
rnB.iMCD. lai Kirk
DANGER SAID OBREQON.
"I note what you say In regard to the
perfidious efforts of the reactionaries to
disseminate false Information in the
United States regarding conditions in
Mexico City for the purpose of discredit-
ing the constitutionalists.
The resident foreigners are In no dan
ger whatsoever. When I levied the ex-
traordinary assessments on the mer
chants bankers business and professional
memn general. In an etiort to alleviate
he poverty stricken conditions or tne
poor the foreigners engaged In business
here through the minister of France pe
titioned the first chief at Vera Crux to be
exempted from its provisions. Mr. Car
ranza granted their request and since
then these foreign merchants have been
ery favorably disposed to our cause
"Many of the business men. bankers
and merchants gladly paid the tax Im
posed and others stated their willingness
to comply with it If given additional time.
They are now dally endeavoring' to' meet
its requirements.
It is utterly false that I have prevent
ed food at any time from entering Mex
ico City or at any time took supplies from
the city to furnish them to the army.
"owing w toe oepreaatlons of the za
pata forces the water supply has been
short but every effort has been made to
remedy this condition. Flour corl and
other commodities that must necessarily
be imported at all times nave not been
abundant but vegetables and small
rucking that Mexico City at all times
obtain from the Indians who cuitivaU
small patches in the suburbs of thelty.
ave been as plentiful as the times jus
tify.'
Having heard . that the American
newspapers were reporting that Catholic
priests had been the subjects of mis-
treatment and that they were suffering
abuses in their prison I authorised tbs
correspondent of La Prensa and the lo
cal secretary of the Associated Press to
nterview the clergymen themselves and
discover of their Own account how they
ire Being treated. The following Is an
extract from the report made by tho
correspondents and published in tLa
Prensa:
OBREQON'S VERSION OF
SITUATION OF PRIESTS.
" 'After many of the priests had singly
informed ua that they had not been mal-
treated they requested Canon Juan Cll-
maco Ramlres to voice the sentiment of
the group. The venerable prelate spoke
as follows:
' 'We have been well treated by all the
chiefs and officers who I believe be-
long to the staff of General Castro-. We
have not been molested In the least and
we know that this is due to orders from
Obregon to whom we are greatly obliged
for the consideration shown us. We re
ceive our food from our homes. We are
allowed to receive those who wish to call
on ua and we have the freedom of the
building. (They are lodged In what waa
formerly the building occupied by the
department of war and marine at the na-
tional palace.) We have daily communi-
cation with Father Pares who Is woik-
lng to solve the) situation.'
In connection with the Information
that has been veceived In the United
States I would catUeur attention to the
fact that certain sources of Information
greatly relied on by the United States
are poisoned against the constitutionalist
cause. Every occasion Is taken by those
worthy senors' to put ua tntthe worst
light possible.
"it is natural that those Interests that
roBpered under the old regime while the
lexlcan people themselves were left In
. pitiful state will stooo to any means
no matter how low to discredit the con-
stitutionalist movement which They real-
ise sounds the death knell of special
privilege and embodies a general revolu-
