Washington, May 9.---In recom- mending wage increases of $500, 1000 annually for all railroad employees whose wages were less than $25O a month in December, 1915, the railroad wage committee made several original and far reaching suggestions on the problem of railroad labor which at tracted the close attention today of Director General McAdoo and other government officials.
 MT. McAdoo is expected to announce his decision on the recommendations in about 10 days. There are indica- tions that he will not accept them in their entirety.
 Some union officials already have expressed dissatisfaction with the amounts recommended for the men of their organizations, the increases ranging from 43 to 4.6 per cent, the highest paid men receiving the lowest increases and the average being 15.021 per cent. advance over the 1917 pay roll.
 Perhaps the provision of the recom- mendations likely to encounter most strenuous objection is the one that all wage increases allowed by the roads in 1916 and 1917 shall be deducted from the amounts now to be given.
 The commission declared that it's conclusions were based on a principle which was that the men were enti- tied to recompense for the increased cost of living and in passing it's rec concentrations on the pay rolls of Dc ce1nber, 1915, in comparison with pres ent 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 the re- port that reductions in hours are not to be regarded as increases in pay, a stand frankly at variance with high railroad officials.
 Officials of the wage commission pointed out today that the increases recommended are probably no greater than the railroads would have had to pay under private operation, since the rising level of wages in other indus tries would have made them neces- sary if the workers were to be retain ed.
 Men who have left the railroads since Jan. to enter the army or navy are entitled to increases accruing UT | to the time they quit work, it was ex. plained today.
 Increases which would be allowed to employees in train and engine ser | vice, most of whom are members ot ; the four leading railroad brother
 hoods it developed today, are as fol lows:
 Freight engineers, 15 per cent; fire
 men and helpers, 34 per cent
 freight conductors, 20 per cent
 freight brakemen and fiagmen, S(
 per cent; passenger engineers, Il pc,
 cent; passenger f1remen and helpers

CUT UNNECESSARY
 PARADE EXPENSES

Chairman Whitney of the Memorial Day committee, announced at meet ing last evening that $2o0 more had been promised to cover expenses of the parade. Several non-essential expenses will be cut this year and plans for the greatest demonstration ever held have been made.
 Automobiles will be borrowed to carry the veterans and all of the marshals will walk, saving the ex- penses of hiring horses. Chairman Whitney. City Clerk J. A. H. Robin son. Alderman Ford and Henry J. seeley have been named as com mittee to procure s5 automobiles.
 Four bands have been engaged and it is probable that the Wheeler & Wilson band will be hired and will likely lead the Home Guard regiment. The Marine, Coast Artillery, Locomo- bile and Olympic bands and the Gren- adler, True Blue and Derby Drum corps will be in line.

DECIDE ON INCREASE
 DURING NEXT 10 DAYS
RAILROAD WAGE COMMITTEE MAKES SEVERAL SUGGES TIONS ON RAILROAD MEMS PAY-MAY ABOLISH
 SOME HIGH SALARIES

28 per cent; passenger conductors, IS per cent; passenger baggage men, 38 per cent; passenger brakemen and f1agmen, 39 per cent
 Requests for an eight hour day for all railroad employees and for time and half for overtime were not act ed on by the commission.
 "At the outset of the hearings" the report says, ''it was manifest that the matter of. hours of service is lodged deep in labor's mind. A standard day of reasonably limited length is as much part of the measure of justice with the working man as is his rate of wage.
 '"The railroad employees have asked for the shorter day, saying frankly that they did not wish any increased rate for overtime save as a means of compelling the observance of shorter hours---a penalfzing of the employers for too long a workday. At this time, however to penalize the government for working its men as long as they have been in the habit of working un- der their private employers, the rail- road companies, is to take advantake 
 government---its need for the work and it's inability to call in outside men. The commission does not be- lieve that the railroad employees really want thus to hamper the transporta- tion facilities of the country in it's hour of need.
 "Manifestly therefore, at this time 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 cannot be shortened.
 With the matter of overtime as with hours of service, the commission believes that the existing rules and conditions of payment should not be disturbed during the period of the war.
 "The employment of women is one of the important problems confront | ing those in charge of the operation of the railroads Since the war Wo- men have entered the shops, have engaged in handling freight and bag gage. and have even been employed on the tracks. Much of this work re- urires a physical effort beyond the strength of women, and some or IL IS carried on under conditions menac- ing to health, safety and morals AS the war takes an increasing number of men, women must, to some degree, take the places of men. They should be cared for. Their burden should not be such as to hazard their health. Their hours should be reasonably short. Their working oond1uons should be healthfu1 and fitted to thelr needs. And their pay when they oo full work of men, should be the same as that of men.
 Large salaries paid railroad ofh-
 cials received the close scrutiny so that some might be abolished.

WITNESS SUCCUMBS
 WHILE FASTENING

William Shaughnessy, a mason, a witness in the Common Pleas court in the suit of Henry B. Saltman against Edward Mooney, tainted this morn ing while testifying before Judge John R. Booth, and had to be taken from the court room. Shaughnessy had not been feeling well for number of days, and succumbed while testifynig. He revived later in the jury room.
 The suit involves a balance alleged to be due Saltman for construction of a garage in William street for Edward Mooney, former fire chief, in William street, about two years ago. Saltman l claims S210 is due him, but Mooney says the work was not carried out according to contract and makes a counterclaim of $2,000.
 l Edward Casey, a mason builder, testified that much of the work was not properly done, and gave figures regarding the cost of carrying out the specifications of the architect.
 This is the third day of trial, and the case will occupy all of the court | today.

is estimated that under the new man
power bill in the neighborhood of
1908 men between the ages of 18
and 46 years will register here on
Thursday, the 18th.
To register these men in one day
will be a herculean task and the To-
cal selective service board has about
finished preparations to handle the
business. The supplies necessary for
this registration have been received
and the work of organizing the force
for the registration completed A
large number of clerks will be neces-
sary for the work, and it is expected
that a sufficient number of patriots
will volunteer. While it will be tedi-
Gus and exacting, yet with suffi-
Gent number employed in the work
it is expected that it will be perfect
ed during the hours prescribed for it's
accomplishment.
The hours for registration will be
from 7 o'clock IN the morning until
8 o'clock at night.
The new registration will place the
total number of registrants in Terrell
county at approximately 2,400 men.
The number who will register in
neighboring counties is estimated as
follows: Baker TAO, Calhoun 1,001,
Clay 612, Dougherty 2,114, Lee

Everybody is to be given the privi-
lege of having a part in registration

comes from Provost Marshal General
Crowder through the National Coun-
Gil of Defense to the district chair
men urging that in every home and
every place of business the national
colors be conspicuously displayed
and that the occasion be observed as
a holiday. This is a reasonable and
timely suggestion from the official
head, and no one doubts that all pa
triotic citizens of Dawson and Ter
rell county will fall right in line by
hanging out all the flags and bunting
available. Mrs. Guy Chappell, who is
directing the local movement, appeals
to the men, women and children to
enter intellectually into the spirit
for the day.

TERRELL COUNTY RED CROSS
HAS MADE SPLENDID RECORD
Has Completed for Soldiers 2,636
Garments Valued at $2,366.75.
August Box Forwarded.

The Terrell county Red Cross
chapter, under the direction of Mrs.
L. Lamar, has made a record which
should not only be a matter of pride
to each faithful member who has
worked diligently through heat and
cold, but a source of qualification to
the entire county.
1t is interesting to review the work
of the chapter from November /,
1917, to September 1, 1918, which
sums up the grand total of 1856 fin
ished garments, valued at $2,366.75.
Of these Dawson women made 1,401,
Yeomans All, Brentwood 204, Graves
116, Sasser 103, PARROT 1902, Cotton
dale 80, Pleasant Hill Al, Herod SO,
other sections of county SO, colored
auxiliary 81.
The August box forwarded a few
days ago contained sol garments,
valued at $367.50. More and more
as the women of America consider
the strenuous tasks to which their
allied sisters have gladly committed
themselves will they be drawn into
the work on this side, which is just
as urgent and important.
There are many duties claiming the
attention of our women, but the su-
preme moment has arrived when not
one can afford to be Indifferent to
the claims of our country. There is
too much at stake for idleness or
frivolity. America is calling for each
woman to shoulder a part of the
heavy burden.
