average workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the wal
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes OF
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, a road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase OF
liz per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the Increases TO
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.
An important feature of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
shall be the same. without discrimina-
ton as to sex or race.
Report of Commission.
The report of the commission, con-
sisting of Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles G. McChord,
j. Harry Covington, and William X.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
the report says:
"The requests which have come to
us for wage increases, would, If fully
granted, involve an. additional outlay
In wages of somewhat over 81 100000,
600 per year In excess of the wage fund
of last year. which exceeded $1,000,
100000. Some asked for an increase
of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to III
per cent. None were satisfied with
their present wages.
ITO classify the many hundreds OF
employments In which the 100000
railroad workers engage would be
task calling for more time, skill. in
sight, and knowledge than we possess.
At the outset, it was seen that there
were grave inequalities in the rates of
wages paid. But who could say what
relationship each class of employees
should bear to the other? Abstractly,
why should an engineer receive $40
per month and a telegraph operator
800 per month?

ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average of
somewhat less than 40 per cent, and
increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommended
tons would not be for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed to Director General Nc
Adoo to amend the proposed scale to
give them higher pay. Others, how
ever, virtually have agreed to accept
the report
The wage advances, which range all
the way from 81 to $34 month, are
increases above the amount of pay
each employee was receiving on De-
cember 81. 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the differ
ence between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay
to the railroads Is estimated at $780,
100000. This is exclusive OF the esti-
mated deficit of $500. 100000 in govern
ment operation OF the railroads this
year. as result of which Director
General McAdoo contemplates ad-
vancing passenger rates at least "a
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as Is per cent.
Based on Iivino Cost
The scheme of wage advances adopt
ed is based on an inquiry into the
cost of living. which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent TO the average railroad EN-.
ployee receiving SS5 month.

A Mysterious Crater.

About 40 miles from Flagstaff,
Ariz., in the midst of great plain,
there is saucer-shaped hollow or
crater about three-Ouarters Of q
mile across and 500 feet deep. The
rim of the crater rises between $50
and 200 feet above the surrounding
plain.
Rocky fragments are scattered
about for several miles around the
crater. Among these rocks many
fragments of meteoriC iron, some
containing black diamonds, have
been found. The inner walls show
that the crust of the earth was bro
ken when the crater was formed,
yet no volcanic rocks exist there.
Biologists have offered several
theories to account for this phenom-
enor. One is that an immense mo
tcorite made the hole. and that the
meteoric fragments mentioned are
remnants of the falling star. An
other theory ascribes the origin OF
the crater to a tremendous explosion
OF steam in the rocks beneath, and
n third combines the first two by
suggesting that the blow of a fall
ing meteor. striking the earth's
crust at a point where subterranean
water mad accumulated in the neigh
borhood Of heated rocks was the
cause of the explosion.
