A $500, 900, 600 RAISE
Railroad Employees Demands for In
creased Pay Average 40 Per Cent.

Washington. Feb. demands for
wage increases pending before the
railroad wage commission are for an
aggregate average of 40 per cent. it
was disclosed today. The demands
repl esent a total of nearly $500, 00e,-
600 this year. or about half of the
railway operating income of last year.
Less than half of the 100000 rail-
way employees are organized. With
the aid of its statisticians and examiri-
ers, the wage commission expects to
determine certain rates of increase
copsidered just for various classes of
railway labor and probably will scale
down the demands in many instances.
An attempt also will be made to
make the wage grants proportional to
pay in other Industries. Many of the
demands are for much more than 40
per cent. They ask in some cases an
increase to place certain trades on
parity with. employees of other indus
tries. and in addition, a flat increase
to provide for higher cost of living
within the last year.

FOR
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS

Under present existing conditions,
il seems best that | should speak
few words to the public thru the
columns of the newspaper, rather
than by personal solicitation as l had
hoped to do.
In placing myself as subject to the
voice of the people as an aspirant TO
the Office of county superintendent
of schools, l wish to state first my
educational qualification.
have had four years high school
and three years college work in Berea
college, and have taken lecture cours-
es and sessions of summer school at
the state normal, now and then, as
the needs of my work seemed to re-
quire, in order to keep in touch with
the most up to date methods.
| My practical experience in educa-
tional work covers period of twenty
one years, spent chiefly in rural and
high school work. and for eight years
previous to my removal to Colorado,
l was in charge of tho normal and ex-
tension work of the academy at Hazel
Green. KY, which work brought me
each year, in touch with the teachers
and schools of five counties, thru
class room work, institutes and visit
ing.
However. this Is past history. and
In this day and age of rapid advance
ment one must keep on the alert or
become a back number. and desire
that the people should judge Of my
qualifications for office by the stand
ard of educational work done, since
have been resident of Crowley
county.
AS principal of the Olney Springs
schools, as president Of the county
association, as a member Of the COM
mittee on standard texts, and else
where, my work is on record.
