will be asked OF the railroad admins
tration soon by nearly ali classes OF
organized railroad labor. 1t was
learned today that nany pending wage
disputes viii be transferred to the
government from railway executives
boards and in other cases. new de-
mands will be formulated for prescn-
tation to Director General McAdoo who
probably will deal with them through
Investigating boards.
Strikes are not contemplated hy any
organization. 1t is said, and wage uues-
tions will not be put up to the director
general as demands. Railroad labor
leaders are represented as not seeking
ito take advantage of government oper-
alton to press for more pay, but rather
as pointing out the necessity OF wage
increases to keep employees from being
attracted to other industries.
To Name Directors.
Up to the present. the only general
demands for wage increases considered
by Director General MeAdoo are those
presented by the four railway brother.
hoods and the switchmen's union,
whose president, s. l.. Heberling con-
ferred with Mr.. NcAdoo today. The
brotherhoods' case will be investigated
by board OF four to be named by the
director general tomorrow and he also
may ask this body to inquire into the
sWitchmen's demand. which is now be-
ing considered by n committee OF rail
Nay executives representing all roads.
p The director general announced to-
day that he expected to name railroad
directors for certain sections of the
country to assist him in administering
government operation.
1t Is considered probable that not
more than six or seven will be named.
Mr.. McAdoo said specifically that he
did not plan to name state directors.

city and Washington since shortly aft
er the Civil war, has been pulled off
'as needless accommodation.
Parlor cars are discontinued on the
fast trains as "a useless luxury. and
on most of the lines freight is given
the right Of way over passenger traf-
|fic. Mr.. Jones narrated an incident
which happened at }Crestline, Ohio,
while he was on his way to Pittsburgh.
He was on the crack New York Gem

Crestline for several miles, when the
whole works stopped suddenly, then
began to back up into Crestline again,

booth, where women are in constant
attendance, selling stamps, collecting

watchfulness, he told of the trip back
from Pittsburgh to Chicago.
The New York Central fast train re-
imburses it's passengers a dollar apiece
for each hour they reach Chicago be-
hind schedule. His train was an hour
late, and shortly before arriving in

An Interesting summary Of the eff

given by Deputy Clerk Of Court Frank

Pittsburgh where he was called by
the death of a sister.
ITS said the east is feeling the war
lots more than we are here in the

but It Isn't all III effect as some would
have us believe.
The west is sending both its men
and money to the war and is getting
practically nothing in return, but the
east ~ IA regular beehive of industry;
men are scrace, wages are high and
Mork plentiful. What the effect would
be should the war come suddenly to
an end is hard to forecast. But just
now, the east is reaping it's harvest,
industrially."

This rural food saving achievement,
accomplished In scarcely six months
time, was In direct response to re-
quests by the Food Administration,
which asked farmers aud thresherinen
to reduce harvest losses from abou;
az per cent.--the estimated average
In normal tlmes-to the lowest posi-
BILE minimum. Country grain thresh-
ing committees carried into every
grain growing community the official
recommendations for accomplishing
the results desired.
In numerous instances drivers OF
racks with leaky bottoms were sent
from the fields to repair their equip
ment and frequently bad order thresh'
ing machines were stopped until the
cause of waste was removed. But In
proportion to the number Of persons
engaged in gathering the nations grain
crop. cases of compulsion were COM
paratively rare. The Food Admins.
tration freely attributes the success OF
the grain threshing campaign to pa
trlotic service by farmers, thresher'
men and their crews. incidentally
grain growers of the United States are
many millions of dollars "in pocket
as a result of the grain saved.
