To the American Public: & Do you believe in arbitration or indus trial warfare? - The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the > i". country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. \£-' The railroads are in the public service— your service. This army of employes is in \ the public service—your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion ' dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. 1 On all the Southern railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average of all) as shown by the payrolls— Passenger Freight Yard 3MX*=XM.. ■ - —-t I I I l-m Range Average Range Average Range Average Engineer*. $2306 $1916 slls*’ 3*l egc V 3810 3505 * 1916 2424 * 1566 V Conductor* J*js2 lg 4? 1353 15g() 1055 | 2696 2358 1/49 Firemen . 1909 * 979 1652 V 1638 H 1302 777 Brake-men. 7 no 9 755 95 g 754 I/06 1854 1405 The average yearly wage payments to all Southern train em ployes (including those who worked only part of the year) as shown by the 1915 payrolls were Passenger Freight Yard Engineers $2144 $1712 $1313 Conductor* 1723 1488 1157 Tiremefi 1086 CGS GBB kirahemen 1013 845 868 A 100 mill ion dollar wage increase for men in freight and yard service (less than one-fifth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per cent advance in all freight rates. I he managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion.

J niae up tlrat wonderful | ‘"phenom,” Benny J Kauff.who comes to the Giants this year with a record of having been Bandoith Hus® the leading batsman and the “Ty CoW.”- «f tiie Federal League. While the boy didn’t have chance to show much of his wares in Chattanooga,, anybody who is as much of a judge of a Ballplayer as the average Kentuckian ie of a horse, can see at a glance that he is a wonder. He stands at the plate right and is a natural hitter. He runs beauti fully and lias the speed of a deer. 1 want to straighten my friends out % little on this young man, for I’m afraid already he’9 in bad with the fans. They think he's tiie most conceited player that ever lived, but he is not. KaulT has been the victim of too much press-agenting— the victim of well-meaning newspaper friends who have overplayed the pub licity game. Kauff, cf course, does not under-esti mate his own ability. He is a daring fellow and knows what he can do, but you «tn truthfully sav he is modest. Down at the Giants’ Training Camp, lit Marlin. Texas, Kauflf was introduced to Larry Dovle, Captain of the Giants,, and leading batsman of the National League last year. ‘’Benny, said the introducer, “this is lairry Doyle, leading National League batsman last year.” “Well, I can hit some, mvself,” said Banff. Now I admit that sounds bad in print, but the laws w'lo overheard this sav it didn’t sound bad at all. It was lust good nadured kidding. It s the same way with other remarks quoted from him. Kauff wants to be ti kidder, and sometimes the things he sava sound ail right until they get In print. I know, personally, that McGraw i 9 counting for much from him this year.
