THE THRlCE-A-WEEK EDITION OF THE NEW YORK WORLD
 IN 1918.

Practically Daily at the Price of
 Weekly. No other Newspaper in
 the World Gives So Much at So
 Low a Price.
 The value and need of a newspaper in the household was never greater than at the present time. We have been forced to enter the great world war, and large army of ours is all ready in France. You will want to have all the news from our troops on European battlefields, and 1918 promises to be the most momentous year in the history of our universe.
 No other newspaper at so small a price will furnish such prompt and ac- curate news of these world-shaking events. It is not necessary to say more.
 The Thrice-a-Week Worlds regular subscription price is only $1.00 per year, and this pays for 56 papers. We offer this uequaled newspaper and The Copper Era together for one year for $27
 The regular subscription price of the two papers is $3. 50.

RAISE WAGES IF
 STREET GAR MEN
Republican A. P. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The na- tional war labor board today announced awards to street railway trainmen en- ployed in several cities of wages rang ing from S8 to 50 cents an hour. Among the awards was one of 38 to Al cents an hour for trainmen of the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway company, ret roactive to July 11.
 In some cases controversies between the men and companies which had threatened to tie up street railways were adjusted by the awards. Other street railway men affected include motormen and conductors in Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Pittsburg, New Or leans, Schenectady. Rochester, Buffa- To. Newark. Trenton, Scranton and East St. Louis.
 The war finance corporation with an available fund of $50O,O0O.0OO to lend war industries, is prepared to give fi- nancial assistance to some of the con1- panies for whose employees higher wages were ordered. The corporation insists, however, that companies credit be good and that adequate security be furnished.
 Directors of the war finance corpor- ation, however, are said to be willing to l investigate applications from compa- nies with impaired credit, and to rect ommend informally to state or local public service commissions that fare | increases for the railways be allowed. President Wilson is understood to have declined to act recently on sug- gestion of the war labor board that the take some drastic action to increase street car fares generally throughout the country.
 | Persistent reports that President Wilson might take over street car lines generally and turn over their operation to the railroad administration were discredted specifically today by high officials.
