per cent and freight rates possibly as

Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances adopt
ed Is based on an inquiry into the
cost of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad EN-
ployee receiving $S5 a month.
The commission favors a shorter
average workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes OF
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
11A per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme Of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor is
also provided.

Report of Commission.
The report of the commission, con

of the interior; Charles @. McChord
J. Harry Covington, and William r.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In par
the report says:
'The requests which have come tC
us for wage increases, would, If fully
granted, involve an additional outla!
in wages of somewhat over 81 1,000,0OO
600 per year In excess of the wage funC
of last year, which exceeded $1,000
100000. Some asked for an Increase
Of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to II
per cent. None were satisfied will
their present wages.

From Four Principal Broth
erhoods.

Washington. ID. O., May 9.-Railroad
employees to the number Of 1,939,399
will receive wage advances ranging
from 1 to 43 per cent to the lowest
paid workers, the total aggregating
$300l000.000, according to the report of
the railroad wage commission submit
ted to Director General McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdoo is expected to adopt
only part Of the recommendations and
probably will make a number of diff
ferent alignments in deciding what
wage increases shall be granted.
In general, the director general ad
vocates higher pay for most classes Of
workmen to enable them to meet in
creased living costs, but he has been
represented as favoring proportionate-
ly larger Increases for some classes
than for others now making the same
pay. He also is strongly opposed to
granting wage Increases which might
disarrange the general scheme Of pay
existing throughout other industries.
Leaders to Protest.
The leaders Of the four principal
railway brotherhoods found on ex-
amining the report that they had
been recommended for less than half
the increases they had asked of the
railroad arrangements before govern
ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average of
somewhat less than 40 per cent, and
increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommends
tions would not be for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed to Director General Nc
Adoo to amend the proposed scale to
give them higher pay. Others, how
ever, virtually have agreed to accept
the report.

the way from 81 to $34 a month, are

THE VALUE OF PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSIONS.

Has the regulation of utilities BY
the commissions been successful?
Yes, in that it has cut out rebates;
it has cut out discrimination; it has
cut out unreasonably high rates; it
has prevented, almost throughout the
United States now, the duplication Of
public utilities and the waste that
comes from it. 1t has given the pub
lie an opportunity to appeal to an au-
thoritative tribunal. whenever they
felt that they were not getting a
square deal, and it has made the COM
panies realize what their real obIiga,
ton is to the public.
If the state public utilities commits
sion had the power to adjust rates
from time to time to the needs Of the
service, equitable regulation would be
maintained to the great advantage to
the consumer.
Unfortunately city and village coun-
ellis by ordinance frequently fix the in
come of the service companies arbi-
trarily for long periods of years, with
out effort to learn the companies
necessities and without reference to
the burdens placed upon them by the
state utilities commission.
An inadequate return for the serv.
ice makes good service impossible.
The loud demand always is for good
service.

lie Of the actual standing and con-
dition and earnings and properties Of
the utilities, is bringing about q bet
ter feeling. There is no more reason
why the public should quarrel with its
utility than why the hand should
quarrel with the foot. We cannot get
along without them. They cannot get
along without US. Then why should
we quarrel? Take away the electric
light syster1s and tomorrow night
every city and village and hamlet in
the land would be in darkness.
"The legislature or the city council
may impede for time, but ultimately
the eternal law of right and wrong
and of justice will make the wrong
doer pay for his own wrong. You can
not get something for nothing by leg
islation. The same is true with the
utility and the public.
"If the public, by controlling the ad-
ministratiVe or legislative bodies Sc
cures a rate less than the utility can

will it do? Just what human nature
always does. 1t will furnish Just such
service as it can afford at that rate.
1t will suffer its plant or its enter
prise to depreciate. 1t will furnish
inadequate service and, perchance the
community persists in that course, ul-
timately withdraw from the field, and
the utility has lost it's property and
the public its service. Neither car

when we go wrong usually it is be-
cause we do not know. Down yonder
in Columbus there is a statue of the
immortal Mckinley, and chiseled in

FIRST GAS MASKS
MADE BY WOMEN OF
ENGLAND AND FRANCE

The use of gas in warfare dates
back to about 400 B. C. The
Spartans saturated wood with
pitch and sulphur and burned it
under the walls of cities which
they were attacking. For sew
eral centuries gas has not been
used in warfare, and The Hague
convention definitely ruled against
it. However, on April %, 1915,
the Germans liberated great
clouds of gas against Canadian
troops near Ypres. Terrible de-
struction and decentralization re.
suited from this first gas attack,
and within a week England was
making plans for gas warfare
against the Germans.
Soon after the first German gas
attack English and French wo-
men sent to the front hundreds
of thousands of home made gas
masks. For the most part they
were merely bandages impregna-
ted with chemicals to wrap a
round the mouth and nose. These
emergency masks saved many
lives, but afforded only limited
protection.
