MOBILIZATION OF SI4AVS
NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Washington, July 24.-The mobili-
cation of the Russian army, as an
nounced in reports today from Mos
COW via Amsterdam. is not regarded
as matter of serious moment by
state department officials. In some
quarters it was regarded as simply
another effort to raise the draft army
which Leon Trotsky, Bolshevik min
ister of war, declared to be the only
solution to the military chaos in Rus
sia.
The suggestion was made that the
Russian government might send its
new army to drive out the allied and
American forces in the Mourmansk
peninsula, but it was explained that
this would be almost impossible as it
would mean the transportation of the
army 500 miles over extremely diff
cult territory and without means of
supply.
The Bolsheviki assured the German
government that its own army would
protect the German embassy in Mos
COW when Germany asked to be al
lowed to send battalions to that city
after the assassination of Count Won
Mirbach. At that time the government
had no army except on paper and 1t
Is believed here that the mobilization
on July was to make good the pledge
to Germany.

Washington, July 24.--Wages of
railroad shopmen were increased to
6S cents an hour today by Director
General McAdoo, with proportional
advances for assistants and miscel-
laneous classes in mechanical depart
ments. The new rates. which are
retroactive to last January /, are
from S to 8 cents an hour higher
than wages paid these men in most
shops under the general wage advance
allowed two months ago by the di-
rector general but are somewhat less
than the labor organization sought.
Beginning August eight hours will
be recognized as a standard working
day and overtime, Sundays and holi-
day work will be paid at the rate of
one and one-half times the usual rate.
Back pay will be given the men as
soon as it can be calculated.

The advances apply TO about 500,-
GOO men and apply flatly TO all sec
tions of the country. despite local diff
ferences prevailing heretofore. The
addition to the aggregate annual pay
rool is estimated as nearly 100000

sive modification of the new wage
scale and was made on recommenda-
tion of the commission on railroad
wages and working conditions. fol-
lowing representations of shop crafts

yards resulted in discrimination
against railroad shop employees. The
