Wage Commission lLayS
Emphasis, on Need of
Better Wags Scale
(By International News service)


Washington, Feb. 13.-The gov
ernment decision to take over the
railroads was reached just in time
to avert disastrous conditions which
threatened every line in the coun-
try.
But for this development at the
administration promise that wages
and working conditions would be
adjusted satisfactorily there would
not now be enough men in the Sec
ton gangs to keep the tracks in op-
Grating condition.
This situation was presented to
the railway wage commission this
afternoon by A. E. Barker, president
of the International Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees.
Quick relief from existing eondi
tions is now evidently needed if
more difficult situation confronting
the railroads is to be overcome" he
said. THE men ask only living
wage which the railroads are not
paying" Barker asserted. z.
Earlier in the day w. S. Stone,
president Of the Brotherhood of Lo-
Engineers, strongly pro-
tested against the employment of wo-
men in mems places on the rail
roads.
"On many railroads women are
employed repairing tracks, shovel
ing coal, coupling freight cars and
wiping engines" Stone said. Il see
red when | go around railroad yards
and see women at mems work.
The commission this afternoon
also heard representatives of the
men employed in, the mechanical
.rades on railroad8 and railroad civ
/ engineers Each speaker warned
he commission unless adequate
was provided and
conditions improved the mi
grafton of railroad employees to 9TH

OF FIRST IMPORTANCE
All Who Can Do Work Neces.
sary to Rush Shipbuilding
Are Urged to Enroll

| Mr.. Sam l.. King, of Nashville, dir
ector for Tennessee, department of
labor United States public service
reserve, sends the foil wing self
explanatory letter to tle press of
the state with request for its i'm
mediate publication:
Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
has just wired this office as fol-
lows:
The number Of men that we can
place and maintain in France will
depend upon the number of ships
available for their transport and
their supplies. For that reason |
want to ask the friends and families
of the men in the national army to
lend their support in every way to
the shipping board to the end that
the necessary efficient labor may be
enrolled in the United States ship
yard volunteers. They are doing a
work of vital Importance to the de-
fense of the nation, and the men
who enroll in the shipyards are un-
dertaking a patriotic service as great
as many that can be performed be-
hind the firing line
The above message from the sec
retary of war is so plain as to rem
der comment unnecessary. The
work of getting men for the ship
yards has been given the right OF
way over all other war industries,
and it is hoped that everyone will
do his full duty and assist in secur-
ing a full enrolment Immediately of
all competent men.
A chain is no stronger that its
weakest link. Our weakest link is
our lack of ships. There is no
Moses to separate the waters and al
low our men and supplies an over,
land route to France. We must
with General Pel'shing's re-
quest and build bridge of ships.
Registration cards for the enroll |
ment of men have been sent to the
chairman of county councils all over
Tennessee. Wages and working con-
diti&As at the shipyards will be ex-
cellent, but we particularly request
that men now engaged in occupa-
tions essential to the welfare of the
United States forces will remain in
their present. position, and that lab
Drers will not go forward to the
until they are properly
and notified when and
where to go by United States in
