Asks Eight-Hour Day

/ Franklins also asked for the eight
Y hour day, six days a week. time and a
half for overtime, and certain mini
mum wages. Except for regular ap-
! prentices ne employee was to receive
an increase Of less than 25 cents an
hour.
You mean you are asking for So
a day increase?" asked Secretary Lane.
/ Yes Franklin replied. This is in
keeping with the prices these men have
to pay for living. Coal miners and
shipbuiders in the last two years have
had more than 81 day increase. The
increases we ask are not higher than
the pay now being given for similar
work in outside industries
! Mr.. Franklin said he did not consider
an increase OF sSo,ocb,000 a year excessive
for $4,000 men
THE mere statement of the number
Of men. is hardly proof Of the justice Of
Your claim. Mr.. Lane said. Neither
do l think you should be barred from a
reasonable wage because it might entail
increased freight rates"
Mr.. Franklin said his organizations
have submitted to the director general
of railroads a plan for meeting the i'll
creased labor demand by shortening the
years of apprenticeship to three instead
o. four and by promoting helpers. He de-
clared that Is per cent. of the union shop
men have left the railroads for the ship
yards and that others have gone to other
industries. The migration begali In Jan
uary, 1911, and has increased steadily
since.
when you consider that common labor
at the mines is paid s. to $50 q day and
that miners make from s. to $40 day.
we think 1t Is very reasonable to request
81 for skilled men and $3.50 for helpers. :,
he concluded
Maintenance Men May Quit
A. E. Barker, speaking for the Broth
erhood OF Maintenance and WAY En-
ployes' SAID his men were on the verge
OF quitting because they saw living costs
mounting steadily without advance in
wages.
For the last u months tile railroads
have not been, able to get men to keen
up the standard of their roadbed. one of
the most vital parts Of any system" he
asserted
VI course a track runs down gradual

CURED If thousands had not been attract

The severest week 'of the winter.

by dealers as one reason for the

Orders Contracts Cancelled
~ Associafed Press

Washington, Jan. 31.-Interest of
II. ID. Baker, brother of Secretary
Baker, in an airplane plant at Niles
Ohio, which had, but lost govern
n1ent contracts, came up to-day be-
fore the Senate Military Committee,
at its inquiry into the aviation serv-
ices.
Secretary Baker ordered the con-
tracts cancelled as soon as he learn
ed that the aviation service had
awarded them to concern in which
his brother was interested.
Senator Frelinghuysen, of New
Jersey, submitted Information he had
received that the corporation-the
Engle Aircraft Company-of which
H. ID. Baker, is president, had been
over capitalized with $1,993,0OO of a
s3,000,000 capitalization representing
good will"
Colonel Deeds, of the aviation
service, testified that II. d. Baker
conferred with him last June about
securing contract, but had been
''fiatly turned down" because the
plant was not ready to produce.
Later, Colonel Deeds said, when
the plant was equipped, contracts
were given for airplane parts on a
cost plus" basis.
A. ]. Engel. vice-president of the
company, whose original plant was
taken over by the corporation, was
an experienced airplane builder, Col
onel Deeds added saying:
They are doing a very good class
of work now"
The profit allowed to the company,
Colonel Deeds said, is the same as
given to other contractors.
Chairman Chamberlain asked If
the company had been organized
specifically to secure government
contracts, but Colonel Deeds said he
thought not as Engel had been MAX
ing airplanes before. No money was
advanced by the government.

the past week show an increase over
the two previous weeks. The cur
rent report of the British Admiralty
says fifteen ships, including nine of
more than 1900 tons were destroy
