LEAN-UP EEK.-This is
Cleanup Week, which is intend
ed to be a week of strenuous effort
toward getting rid of the dirt and
rubbish that have been piling up dur
ing all the winter months.
Cleanup Week" also means an
enthusiastic beginning of a whole
summer of clean up effort. It means
that we will not quit the job when
the seven days have gone by. 1t
means that we are going to clean up
and keep clean all the time.
Yes, 'Clean up and paint up" is to
be the slogan in Chicago from Evans
ton on the north to the Indiana state
line on the south. Mayor Thompson
has issued his proclamation to that
effect, and from April % to April 80
Chicago will have such a going over
as it has never had before. In his
message to the people of the city the
mayor urges them to keep in clean
and sanitary condition their homes,
places of business and all premises
owned and occupied by them. clean
up, scrub, paint and whitewash. Also
remove and destroy all rubbish on
your own and vacant lots nearby. Let
air and sunshine into your homes
and places of business. Plant win
dow boxes and gardens. All depart
ments of the city will cooperate with
the people in this work.
AS to the paint-up side of the cam
paign, while it may have no direct
bearing on the health of a cOmmu-
nifty, yet it has a distinct value in any
scheme of community betterment. It
is hard to make a dingy neighbOr-
hood look clean. Painting homes
removes dinginess, makes them
bright, clean and attractive. And at
Effectiveness stimulates cleanliness.
It is along these lines that the
"Paint-Up' plan is an important part

Pass on Demands
Justice Of Brothcrhoods' Appeal
for Wage Increase TO Be Decid-
ed by Chief Executive.
IBy Associated pre.,.)


WASHINGTON, November 23.-De-
mands for wage increases, soon to be
presented by the four brothcrhoods OF
railroad employees. will be passed on
by President Wilson. and succeeding
developments will depend on what ac-
ton he may take or counsel he may
give.
Results OF the conference which the
President had yesterday with the heads
OF the brotherhoods have not yet been
taken up by the Railroads War Board,
but IT. was learned to-day the railroad
executives feel their recent statement
placing their interests unreservcdly in
the hands Of the President demonstrate
ed their willingness TO do whatever
was necessary for tho country's in
terests. and that logical pursuit OF
this policy would require the demands
to be submitted TO the President as
soon as made.
1t is expected the brotherhoods will
present next month their new demands,
approximating those which were re-
fused year ago. The railroads have
indicated their position will be that the
increases sought. amounting to $780,
100000 annually. cannot DO granted
without increased revenues.
