The young victim was picked up un-

Floresville, Texas, - Dec. 2.—John
Manak, a farmer, 36. years old, who
lived near here, died instantly at .his

Chicago, December 2.—The re-
quests of firemen and hostlers on
western railroads for Increased wages
and better hours occupied the time
of the railroad arbitration board here
Tuesday. - u-

ol48y labelled, atpm* toteea/tts do
those of the locomotive engineers.
The hours and working conditions
are virtually identical for engine
crews and advances are asked pro-
portionately to the quality of service
rendered.
M. W. Cadle completed an analysis
of ten of the requests of the engi-
neers yesterday but Illness prevented
his resuming today and Walter
Moore, compiler of statistics for the
firemen and other englnemen, occu-
pied the stand. He was questioned
by A. Phillips, representing the
Brotherhood of Locomotive, Firemen
and Eaginemen and cro88i>examined
by James M. Sheehan, representing
the railroads.
Moore's figures showed that the
principles involved in the more es-
sential requests of the men are rec-
ognized in one way or another on
some railroads although he was un-
able to state that any road had a spe-
cific rule or rate exactly agreeing
with any of the present demands.
The requests for two firemen on
certain heavy engines doing arduous
duty, the elimination of the surprise
test and the provision for making
known to the crews the weight on
drivers of all engihees (to provide a
basis for calculating the pay of en-
ginemen', he said obtaiffed, on no
railroad at present.
Phillips at some length explained
the request for the elimination of
the surprise test, which frightens the
enginemen in a way dangerous to
health and to life itself, he said, and
n time has the usual effect of the
cry of "wolf."
On cross-examination S h e e b a n
sought to show that the roads which
lave granted concessions of one kind
of another; Which the men now want
embodied Jn , improved form in an
agreement wjith ... all the western
roads, were frequently offset by in-
creased responsibilities or duties in
Irtatifc directions.
Phillips stated that Moore was not
a competent witness on these points
being merely a compiler and added
that experts on the points sought by
Sheehan would testify later. Moore
did explain, however, his reasons for
grouping certain railroads under cer-
tain headings. ■
