| More than half a million American
soldiers already have been sent to
France and at least a million more will
be ready for foreign service before the
close of the present year. In a carefully
last night, Secretary Baker Of the War
Department said:
"In January I told the Senate commit
tee that there was strong likelihood
that early in the present year SOC, 900
American troops would be dispatched to
France. I cannot either now or per-
haps later discuss the number Of Ameri-
can troops in France. but I am gladsto
be able to say that the forecast made
in January has been surpassed"
No Machine Gun Shortage.
AS result Of a personal Investigation
of machine gun production during the
past few days the Secretary announced
that there is no present shortage Of
light or heavy types OF these weapons
either in France or the United States
and no shortage is in prospect.
Secretary Baker would not amplify
the statement in any way, and specifi-
cally asked that the press refrain from
speculation as to what precise figures
his guarded remarks covered.
There has been repeated official an
nouncements, however, that the gov
| eminent is bending every energy to
| rushing men across to back up the
| allied lines in France, and officers d.
rectly in charge of the transportation
have expressed satisfaction with the
progress being made. There is no doubt
| that the present force of American
troops there represents only a small
part Of the total strength that will be
available for employment by Gen. Foch
before the summer fighting ends.

No Shorter Day Now.

Requests for an eight-hour day for all
railroad employees and for time and a half
for overtime were not acted on by the
AT the outset Of the hearings" the re-
port says. 'it was manifest that the mat
ter Of hours Of service is lodged deep in
labors mind. A standard day Of reason
ably limited length is as much a part Of
the measure Of Justice with the working
man as is his rate Of wage. 1t would be
a splendid achievement II we could at
this time crystalline the experience of
the world into a conclusion concerning the
length Of the work day that would be Of
universal application.
But this is not tho time, in the judg-
ment Of the commission, to make ex-
periments which might lessen the output
Of that commodity which railroad men
productions Of freight hauled and
numbers Of passengers carried. The one
thing now imperative is volume. Of and
speed in railroad output. Since the COM
missions work began, as before our needs
as a nation and the vital needs of those
nations with whom we are allied. have
been imperiled by the shortcomings Of
our transportation system. There is no
one who wishes to risk a repetition of this
condition,

Increases to Be Deducted.

Perhaps the provision Of the recommen-
dations likely to encounter most strenuous
objection is the one that all wage in
creases allowed by the roads in 1916 and
1917 shall be deducted from the amounts
now to be given. The commission de-
clared that its conclusions were based on
a principle, which was that the men were
entitled to recompense for the increased
cost Of living, and in basing its recon-
mendations on the pay rolls of December
1915, in comparison with present prices
Of necessities decided that it would be
unfair to allow certain employees who
already had received wage advances to
benefit twice.
The commission declared in its report
that reductions in hours are not to be
regarded as increases in pay, a stand
frankly at variance with high railroad
officials. who during the hearings asserted
that the Adamson eight-hour law was in
effect an increase in pay, because the
overtime resulting was inevitable and
amounted to many millions Of dollars in
money.

HUGE PAY INCREASE
F0RRA|LROAD MEN
Commission Proposes Deduc-

Since December, 1915.
ADVISES AS TO HOURS

In recommending wage increases of
$30O,0O0,OoO annually for all railroad
employees whose wages were less than
$3.50 a month in December, 1915, the
railroad wage commission made several
original and far-reaching suggestions on
the problem of railroad labor which at
tracted the close attention today Of Di-
rector General McAdoo and other gov
eminent officials.
Mr.. McAdoo is expected to announce his
decision on the recommendations in about
ten days. There are indications that he
will not accept them in their entirety.
Some union officials already have express
ed dissatisfaction with the amounts rec
commended for the men of their organiza-
tons. the increases ranging from 43 down
to 4.6 per cent. the highest paid men re-
ceiving the lowest increases and the av-
erage being 15.o21 per cent advance over
the 1917 pay roll.

Transportation Need Vital.

THE railroad employees have asked
for the shorter day, saying frankly that
they did not wish an increased rate for
overtime save as a means Of compelling
the observance of shorter hours-a
penalizing Of the employers for too
long a work day. At this time. how
ever. to penalize the government for
working its men as long as they have
been in the habit Of working under
their private employers. the railroad
companies. is to take advantage of the
two-fold embarrassment of the govern
ment-its need for the work and its
inability to call in outside men. The
commission does not believe that the
railroad employees really want thus to
hamper the transportation facilities of
the country in its hour of need.
"Manifestly. therefore, at this time,
when men must be constantly taken
from the railroads. as from all other
industries. to fill the growing needs Of
the nations army, hours of labor can
not be shortened. While the commits
sion is strongly disposed to a standard
day, in SO far as the nature of the serv-
Ice will permit 1t. its firm Judgment
consequently Is that the existing hours
of service in effect on the railroads
should be maintained for the period Of
the war.
