TWO DECISIONS BY
 RATIONAL WAR LABOR
 BOARD ANNOUNCED

The National War Labor Board au- thorizes the following:
 The National War Labor Board has arrived at two important decisions af- fecting the questions of the living wage and the basic 8-hour day
 In the first decision the board read justed the existing wage schedules in eight plants, employing 5000 men, at Waynesboro, Pa., fixing 40 cents per hour as the minimum rate to be paid any class of workers, including com mon laborers, and announced that it now has under consideration the ques- tion of determining the living wage which, under its principles, must be the minimum rate of wage to permit the worker and his family to subsist in health and reasonable comfort. Final determination of the question was made a special order of business for Tuesday, July 23.
 Waynesboro Award:
 In the Waynesboro case the award of the board gives many of the work CTS wage increases greatly in excess of their demands, to gain which they were recently on strike. For in- stance, the minimum rate is fixed at 40 cents per hour, while minimum rate

f1ARTIN MORAN OF NOME PROBABLY
 FATALLY SHOT

Martin Moran, former member of the territorial legislature, and candi- date fer the senatorship of the Second division, was shot and perhaps fatally injured at Dahl creek, about 250 miles north of Candle, Friday, April 6, his assailant being Mike Tuohey, an old time resident of the Kobuk section, says the Nome Nugget of May 4.
 According to the meager accounts reaching Nome from Candle, the shooting was done with double bar reied shotgun and was the result of an argument between the two men occurring the day before, but which apparently had been amicably adjust ed. Candle reports that Moran was shot in the back from distance of twenty feet, and but for the fact that he was wearing heavy, loose-1tting mackinaw coat at the time, Moran un- doubtedly would have been killed out right Although the heavy garment prevented the charge of No. shot from taking full effect, a large DOT tion of the load penetrated his body. The shooting was witnessed by two persons whose names could not be ascertained Following the shooting word was sent to the United States marshal at Kiana and Moran was talk en to Candle by dog sled. The wound ed man and his attendants arrived there at 7:30 in the evening and Moran was placed in the Fairhaven hospital, where he was resting easily and Dr. Welch announced that Moran had a fair chance of recovery, pro- vided no complications developed.
 News of the unfortunate affair was greeted with profound sorrow by the many friends of Moran residing in Nome, all of whom knew him as a kindly, likable man of sterling char scter and sound integrity.
 Mike Tuohey, his assailant, is an old-time miner and prospector of the

demanded was 30 cents per hour. Un- til now common laborers at Waynes- boro have been receiveing as little as 22 cents per hour. The increase to the lowest paid men, therefore will be S1 per cent. Skilled workers were awarded the increases they demanded.
 The second decision was made in the controversy between the Worth ington Pump & Machinery Co.,, and it's employees in the Blake-Knowles plant at East Cambridge, N. Y. The East Cambridge plant has been tied up for several days by strike of 1000 work men. At both places the paramount issue was the application of the basic eight-hour day. A wage dispute form ed part of the controversy at East Cambridge. The section of the board assigned to the case, composed of Loyal A. Osborne and Fred Hewitt, representing, respectively, capital and labor, readily came to agreement on the question of wages, but disagreed on the question of the application of the basic eight-hour day, MT. Hewitt holding that the basic eight-hour day should. be applied, Mir Osborne taking the opposite position
 < Sections Decision Approved.
 The controversy was referred by the sec ction back to the entire board, which approved the sections award as to wages at the plant at East Cam bridge, and decided upon a resolution offered by Frank P. Walsh, one of the two joint chairmen, that the basic eight-hour day be installed at cnce at both plants, at the same tir.a, an nouncing that the board is consider ing the matter of the determ nation of what should be fixed as the proper working day. As in the matter of the living wage, final consideration of the question of the basic workday was fixed as special order of busi- ness for Tuesday. July 23.

Food-more food-and still

for food
1t is vitality necessary for
America to do everything it
possibly can to increase the
international food supply.
Else millions more must
succumb to the relentless raw
ages of hunger in war-swept
Europe-and those who are
suffering the most are the wo-

1T may be natural" he said, that

granted to them, or as many Of them
as they can hold. But such an au-
tocracy as congress was compelled, I'M

intended for the purpose Of winning
the war only. And we must take care,

Asserting that for this very reason.
questions arising from the two schools
of thought private or government
ownership Of utilities - will likely be
made political issues, and very soon
occupy the attention of the two great
political parties, Mr.. Warfield declared
that the people of the country must
decide upon one Of two courses: First,
government ownership, under which
the railroads will seek to get all they
can for their holdings, and without
regard to whether such ownership is
to the advantage of the people; and,
second, restored and properly regulated
private management which will assure
to them better service and the benefits
of individual initiative.
my own judgment is" Mr.. War
field said, that only through compre-
hensive plans of control and regula-
ton under private management and
initiative, can the best results be OBJ
tanned from any of the great indus
tries Of the country"
Shippers And Land Owners
Concerning the vital interests Of the
shippers and the land owners, in these
problems, Mr.. Warfeld said
The shippers and land owners OF
the country are as much concerned in
the questions at issue whether the
railroads are owned and operated by
the government or under private own
ership and operation-as any interest
involved. The securities Of their own
companies, IL they are corporations,
are affected; and IL they are not
corporations, their business is affected
by the sympathetic effect of any action
that adversely affects the billions of
railroad securities outstanding. More.
over, the success of the shipper and
land owner is directly dependent upon
adequate and proper railroad develop
ment and service"

very idea of such a system of pater-
nalism-government ownership and all
that it involves-must be repugnant, it

Declined to Help
Since government control OF the

by the administration to be a highly
meritorious one,' must be discontinued
