WISHES THE LEADER SUCCESS

The following letter from Walter
B. Hilton, editor of The Wheeling
Majority, to J. H. Sharritt, member
of the censor board of this paper, is
self-explanatory:
Wheeling, May 13, 1918.
Mr.. J. H. Sharritt, Newark, o.
Dear John:
Some years have faded into musty
past since last saw you-years
which seem to have left you as young
and hopeful as ever; since see your
name once more nailed to the mast
head of labor paper. The hope
that springs eternal in the human
breast evidently has some hold on
you, all right, and you are still con-
vinced that the workers will support
a paper published in their interests.
l can sympathize with you because,
after all, l agree with you, and | am
still plugging at the same thing.
Hardship only encourages when your
feet on the rock of science and you
KNOW that your viewpoint must be
the universal viewpoint, eventually.
Barriers may rise frowningly here
and there, and change the course of
the stream, somewhat, but it must
finally find its>way to the sea. The
world will belong to the worker, some
day. Even Schwab and Theodore P.
Shonts see it now. And that's moving
pretty fast, for it has been but few
years since we were decidedly lone
some in predicting it.
SO l wish good luck to you and the
Leader, and to all who are asso-
ciated with you in producing it. May
it live long and prosper; may it be a
staff and guide, counsellor and con-
soler to the workers of Licking
county, may it be their refuge when
they are distressed, and a monument
to their struggle when they finally
come into their own.
Yours fraternally,
w. B. Hilton.

The following dispatch from Wash

is also significant of what effect the
unionizing of all railroads will have
in their disposition after the war.

INCREASES IN RAILROAD MEMS
WAGES
A 43 Per Cent Raise Recommended
By Rail Road Wage
Commission

A full dinner pail for all is to be
the governments policy toward the
national railroad employees during the
war.
Formal announcement of the Rail-
road Wage Commissions report advo-
eating wage increases for all railroad
workers making less than $3.50 a
month in 1915 was followed by assur-
ance that Director General McAdoO
approves the increases proposed-and
possibly will allow more.
Before acting on his commissions
report he will confer with represen-
tatives of the employees to determine
whether the new Embellishments
ing to increases of nearly $300,000,000
annually, with $1OO,OOO,OO0 back pay
to January would work hardship
on any class of workers.
The policy of the government to-
ward its labor is clearly set forth in
the digest of the report, an excerpt
of which declares:
"Organized and unorganized en-
ployes are to be treated alike. Women
and men who perform equal service
are to be given equal pay, and differ
ences in pay are not to be predicated
on color"
1t is an admitted fact that the bet
terments have been obtained through
the activity of organized labor.
In reaching its conclusions, the
commission declined to accede to re-
quests made by the employees. The
contention of the men that they want
ed shorter day and higher overtime
wages to enforce it, was met with the
following from the commissions re-
port:
"At this time when urgent and Sc
rious necessity compels sacrifice from
all, to penalize the government for
working its men as long as they have
been in the habit of working under
the private employers, is to take ad-
vantage of the two fold embarrass-
ment of the government-its need for
the work and it's inability to call in
outside men.
"The commission does not believe
the railroad employees really want
thus to hamper the transportation
facilities of the country in its hour
of need"
The increases proposed by the COM
mission are based on the premise that
the cost of living since 1915 has in
creased approximately 43 per cent,
shown by a thorough study of actual
conditions.
Roughly it may be said that the
man who received 85 a month on jan
uary /, 1916" the commission de-
clares, now needs 40 per cent ad-
ditional to his wage to give him the
same living he had then. Below that
wage a larger percentage must be al
lowed, because the opportunity of
substitution and other methods of
thrift have declined almost to van
ishing point"
This being the basis of the COM
missions computations, those getting
over $3.50 a month are to receive no
increases whatever-and there is a
strong hint that many "nonessential'
officials must be sacrificed to the
nreSSinU demands of war
