U. S.-CANADIAN FIREMEN DEMAND WAGE INCREASES

35 to 65 Percent Rise in Pay is Asked in New Wage Scale by Firemen. CLEVELAND, O., Aug 18. A 35 to 65 per cent. Increase in wages is demanded for 117,000 firemen and host' lera on railroads in the United States and Canada In a wage scale adopted before adjournment of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen In session here since Tuesday. Another demand to be presented to the director general of railroads is that all coal-burning locomotives is road service weighing 500,000 pounds or more shall be equipped with mechanical stokers and that two firemen shall be employed on all such locomotives until they are so equipped. About half of the 80,0000 engines in the United States will come under this proposal, only about 5,000 of whih are equipped with mechanical stokers at present. In accepting the report of the wage committee, appointed at the opening seslon last Tuesday and which only completed and presented its report Saturday morning, discussion of which took up yesterday's and today's conferences, some modifications were made, but the report was adopted in the main part. EXPORTS, HIGH (Continued from Pajje One) plause. "The farmer gets good prices, but he gets them because of the demand for his goods," he added. "They say the packer is the profiteer. I do not know whether he is or not. I have been studying the situation for months, and I say to you that I do not know! If it be true that packers received only 5.36 per cent interest on the capital invested then the pickers are not the profiteers. We are going to find out whether this is true and if it is not, the punishment will be forthcoming. Retailer Is Guilty. "But the evidence that has come before our committee on the high cost of living has been to the effect that profiteering is largely due to the retailer. We are relying too much upon laws and not enough upon ourselves. Watson said he saw no way in which individual transactions could be called profiteers or be punished for their methods. "Profiteering comes when a grocer meets another grocer and they decide on a price which is in advance of what it should be, and then notify the other grocers that that is the price. This is a conspiracy and conspiracy can be punished! We have laws to do this, we have drastic penalties. The president came to us and said he wanted a complete license system. So far as I am concerned he's not going to get it, for there aro already plenty of laws. All that is necessary i3 to use them. ..... HI. I R . . . U S,J

law wnicn neia your waeai io j.4, and if you didn't follow it took away your license? That's still in operation, but look how is has been relaxed. If you can't use laws what good will other laws do? Look how sugar climbed. The international corporation eciualization board is still in existence. "Individual extravagance is one of the main causes of high prices. I see the streets crowded with young men, all consuming; none producing. The trouble with this country is, we have too many idlers, and along with the, we have individual extravagance. The movies are full, the theaters are full, every summer resort from Atlanirt Pit,. " w A CorQlnirQ nil ortri drtn'n the

country is overrun. Tom Taggart, down at French Lick, has been fairly mobbed with people clamoring for Pluto! "I am a little bit old fashioned, but I firmly believe that you can have all the laws you want and they will be fruitless until you get back to individual thrift and frugality. But there are no laws, you know, to prevent people from spending all the money they have, and a thundering lot of them don't wait to have It. , It's Our Own Fault "Why do you buy stuff when it's too high? You don't have to, and I urge you women to watch the markets and not to stop at the first store and make your purchases regardless of whether you are being held up or not. Inquire at several shops, and if they are all high and all alike, understand you are 3ifoeing plundered, and don't buy. "How can the government bring down prices if you right here on the Job can not stop buying at these prices, nor show your individual grocers, and others dealers, that you won't stand for robbery prices? And while you are doing this, let everybody give a full day's work for what ho makes and then save, and a big step will have been taken. Exportation Considered "If there is a great supply andeven a steady or less demand prices will go down. The law of supply and demand will eventually work out, and with increasing scarcity and increasing de

mand prices will of the same accord rise. I say to you as long as we continue to export as much as we are sending abroad with increasing scarc ity at home, all the lawyers ana laws in the country can't help the result. It Is amazing the amount of food stuff

we have been exporting. We do not have as much wheat as we had in 1913, and yet we are sending out more. "And not only are we shipping vast amounts to sell to our allies, but we are shipping vast amounts tor relief purposes to feed the hungry hordes of Europe. I believe firmly in helping them, but I am Just selfish .enough to believe in helping America first I am a lot more interested in knowing how the people In New York and St Louis and San Francisco are going to Jive the coming year than I am In the people of the Balkans. I'd rather have L a Lithuanian starve than an IndianaJ lan. To starve Europe would not only be a crime but it would close our own market, our own factories and leave a wreck. But we can help them and ourselves both, and I believe in

Miss Neill, Appearing Here For 3d Time, Delights Chautauqucns

A popular surprise at the chautauqua Sunday afternoon was, the announcement that Miss Amy Neill, violinist, and Lyell Barber, pianist, who have appeared In Richmond's chautauquas twice before, had been secured to appear in two concert recitals Sunday In place of the Sybil Bammis Singers. Equally pleasing was the appearance of Miss Neill's sister, Miss Dorothy Neill, a lyric soprano, who was not with her sister in her two other appearances here. Miss Amy Neill is a master of her instrument, and one of the few real artists who have playtd in Richmond in a number of years. Her technique and tone quality are remarkable and her programs well chosen. Fortunately Miss Neill is appreciated in Richmond, and this appreciation was shown Sunday afternoon when she was called back again and again for encores. Gypsy Air Applauded. In the evening Miss Neill played a "Gypsy Air" by Sarasate and responded with "Orientale," a well known number. The first number was one of the most Attractive of the evening and displayed Miss Neill's technique to peculiar advantage. "Serenade" by Drala the first a three numbers was received with pleasure as was a "Melody" by Dawes and "The Dance of the Elves" by Bazzini in her second appearance of the evening. "The Moment Musical," by Shubert brought a storm of applause. Her final appearance was in Wieniawski's "Polonaise in A," one of her triumphs of the evening. Dorothy Neill Sings. Miss Dorothy Neill appeared in a varied program in the afternoon and evening. In the afternoon she sang with spirit "The Rose's Birthday," "Still Unexpressed," by Carrie Jacobs Bond, and "Wake Up" by Philips, responding with an encore, "In an Old Fashioned Town" by Squier. Her response was one of her best numbers, combining with a quaint strain, airy tones and coloring. In the evening Miss Dorothy Neill sang the Aria, "One Fine Day" from "Madame Butterfly," by Puccini, and returned in "The Last Rose of Summer." "In Blossom Time," by Needham, "When the Swallows Homeward Fly," by White, and Woodman's "A Birthday," a suit of three short melodies followed. She was forced to come back for two encores, "Louisiana Elizabeth," which charmed the audience, and a light, artistic "Chinese Love Song." Barber can do about as he likes with his Richmond Chautauqua audiences, for they are immensely fond of Amy Neill Wins From Mary Pickford in Contest for Small Girl's Affection Miss Amy Neill claims amazing triumph, the defeat of Mary Pickford In the affections of one small girl of Richmond. When Georgianna Doan, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Doan of this city, heard Miss Neill play two years ago she straightway lost her interest in Mary Pickford and the career of a screen star and fixed her ambitions in the violin of Miss Neill. Sunday evening when she came back-stage to speak to her idol, she told the violinist that she has been taking lessons ever since She heard her play first, and astounded the artist by informing her that she really likes to practice. BENTLEY PREDIGTS SUCCESSFUL SEASON J. H. Bentley, superintendent of the Richmond public schools and stage manager of the Chautauqua, spoke briefly before the opening number Sunday afternoon. He predicted a successful season. "All campers are urged to report at the Chautauqua headquarters to regis ter their names and tent number, so that no confusion in the delivering of mail, telegrams, etc., will result. This is especially expedient and should be done at once by all campers," said he. Bentley spoke of the "official silencers" who have been posted about the big tent. "These men will come to you and say 'keep still' if you are talking or in other ways annoying the persons around you. Now, don't get mad if one of these men does this; Just keep I still. They have been officially made i responsible ior keeping the Dig tent silent during the program." The silence zone section surrounding the big tent has been roped off this year, Bentley explained. All persons who wish to talk are asked to stay outside this zone. Bentley gave special notice to the lecture on "Victory" of Edward Amherst Ott at S:15 Tuesday evening. "Mr. Oit has a splendid forceful lecture; one you will enjoy," he said. CZECHS LEAVE ITALY. (By Associated Press) ROME. August 18. A contingent of the Czecbo-Slovak forces that fought with the Italian army during the war began leaving Italy today for Bohemia. partially stopping the exports to Europe. "Another thing. We have furnished these fellows abroad the money with which to buy our food stuffs. When and how are they ever going to be able to balance accounts? At this hour the American dollar is at a premium, and the coin of every other nation in the world is at a discount in New York. Against Government Ownership "Of course I'm against the demands of those who believe in government ownership of anything that the citizens can control or operate. "Sam Gompers, himself, always disapproved of the people going to congress to get their wages. "I am against socialism in any form. Yon cannot convince me that the great body of brotherhoods are for that thing, either. I've had them tell me so. You'U find that they are not going to try to revolutionize the country."

him and his ability, and Sunday night when, because of lack of time, he omitted his last number the audience disapproved seriously. Barker Splendid Accompanist. Barker is not only an accompanist of rare ability but he is the only young artist who has appeared in Richmond for years in a picnic recital. His ability is unquestionable! He and Miss Neill play together in perfect unison and harmony of spirit. His solo in .the afternoon wa3 a Chopin "Fantasie" to which he responded well. In the evening Barber played "Habenra" by Chabirer, and "A Sleigh Ride" by Tchaikowski, . responding with two encores. His "Craccvlenne Fantastigne," by Scott, was unfortunately omitted.

SAFETY-VALVE, SAYS PROF. NEWCOMB

Probably a number of the people who attended the Chautauqua Sunday evening had not seen Will Rogers in the "Follies," but they appreciated Prof. Charles M. Newcomb, of the department of oratory of Ohio Wesleyan University, anyway, when he brought out two innocent looking ropes, camouflaged as lariats, and told them all the funny things that had happened to him lately. He did all this in the easy, nonchalant way of the Follies star of last year. For more than ten years Prof. Newcomb has been doing lyceum and Chautauqua work and has attained success both as a reader and lecturer, which he combines in a pleasing program. "The Mission of Laughter," was his subject Sunday evening. "Lapses, not too acute from the social order, departure from dignity of a thing or person usually dignified; any change from the normal which is not servo enough to pain, causes laughter," said the speaker. "Laughter is nature's safety valve, and many a great man such as Abraham Lincoln has applied it to pull him through the stress and strain. "Take, also, our soldiers 'in France, those of our Allies. The Germans with their song of hate simply could not understand the fun-making of the Tommies and the Yanks. When they sang parodies of the song of hate and threw it hack across No-Man's Land the Huns were very dense or they would have sensed the indominable spirit which fed the fire of this mirth. Boys Bring Back Love of Heavy Guns; Hunting Becoming Popular Sport There is a greater demand for large size ammunition and automatic revolvers now than there ever was before, and local hardware dealers have been forced to increase the variety and size of their gun and ammunition stock they say. The constant use of large calibre guns by the boys in service has instilled a liking for this size and the majority of the overseas boys brought this type of guns home with them. A great many have also brought heme foreign types, such as the German Lueger, and French and Spanish revolvers. The English gun was also brought home. Although there is a greater demand for the heavier calibre revolvers and rifles, the demand for shotguns is m the other direction and the light sixteen and twenty gauge shotguns are becoming popular. The number of hunting licenses soid this year greatly exceeds that of other years and it is thought that the squirrels and rabbits are going to have a merry time of it this year. RELEASE OF (Continued from Page One) Christmas day, 1917, when they caught the American stage driver going to Candelaria, hanged him and cut his throat.
