Pullman Wages and Tips.
From the Indianapolts News

From the indianapolis News,
simultaneously with the announcement
that the government is to continue to
operate the Pullman company comes an
order raising the wages of its EMPLOYEES
on the same basis as the advance recently
given railroad workers. The Industrial
relations commission once found that the
average salary Of porters was from $3.50
to $5 a month and of conductors fron, $40
to 800 q month. a
Most of the porters will probably have
their wages Increased by almost half. The
question row arises whether to tip or moi
to tip. For years, Che charge against the
Pullman company that its porters were
not paid enough has been answered IN
the effect that their wages were raised 10
afffuent proportions by tips. When II was
suggested that the public should not be-
expected to pay the wage of Pullman car
employees In addition TO paying the us,al
fares, the respons was made that the
onpan had no way of curling the rem
eTosfty OF travellers and that ii they would
tip tt was proper for that source OF in
come to be taken into consideration in
computing wages
Possibly the porters received many tins:
that they would not otherwise have got
because It was generally understood that
they were dependent on tips for a living.
With their wages substantially adyanced
q different situation exists. The traveller
who gave up a quarter with a smtla for
the badly paid victim of corporate mig
g~ardliness may feel differently toward a
better paid government semploye. .rha
government ran not with propriety force
any class of its employees to depend unop

WORK MOST
DIFFICULT OF ALL
Airmen of Allied Forces Resort
to Many Tricks to Fool
the Enemy.

Behind British Lines in France
Thy mail)-One Of the most exciting
tasks to which atrmen are assigned
is what Is known as "desultory bomb
ing" over one spot for an hour or
more. The object Is to distract the at
tent1on Of the anti-aircRaft defenders
Of a given district, and o machine
carrying a dozen or more bombs Is en-
ployed for the work.
At first the airmen, a pilot and an
observer, approach their target eau
tiously. With engines throttled down,
the craft g1ides nearer and nearer.
Below, all Is quiet. No German search
lights are sweeping the sky. When the
attackers are almost over their OBJ

bursts into a cluster of red stars. The
machine has been discovered. At once
SIX or seven searchlfghts throw their
beams aleft. The pilot hooks at his
watch: 1t is time to begin his desultory
bombing.
He flies steadily ON, although a bar
rage Of bursting shells lies now in
front Of him. The observer, looks
through the wires Of his bomb sight to
the ground below. At the proper in
slant he thrusts his lever forward and
releases the bombs. A few second later
and above the cracking baErage he can
hear two dull roars. He signals to the
pilot and the machine turns and sweeps
away from the fiery ring of shells and
searchfights.
A few miles away the aArplane flies
to and fro at top speed. The puzzled
searchlights vainly feel the sky in all
directions and then, n by one, are
switched off. Then the pilot quickly
moves again toward the target. An
other bomb Is dropped. AS It explodes
the searchlights reappear and the bar
rag is renewed while through the
thickly grouped shell bursts are
threaded the chains of green flaming
globes. 80 much used by the Germans.
Again the machine flies away and
this time, to bewilder still more the
soldiers below, the observer fires q
white light which slowly drifts below
and fades out. ALI the searchlights
follow 1t until IT dies. Repeatedly the
air1nen return to the attack. Bombs
are dropped at intervals until the end
Of the hour. when The machine departs,

IRISH FARMERS ARE
WARNED OF POSITION
standish o'Grady Asserts They
Are Insulting Their
Best Friends.

Dublin (by mai).-Irish farmer,
have been the most backward Of all
classes in regard to recruiting for the

guished Irish writer, the author OF sew
sral Irish novels Ind historical works,
aas issued a warning to them that, una
Ter he and purchase acts, they hold
heir and by an act of the imperial
parliament; that parliament has adj.
yanced over $500, DOT, 900 for the pur-
chase of the land from the landlords,
has handed 1t over to thousands OF
peasant proprietors and-is collecting
from them the purchase money by an
uual installments, less in amount than
their old rents.
Mr.. O'Grady reminds the farmers
that lin supporting an attempt to over
throw the authority of the imperial
parliament they are trying to over
throw the very power to which they
owe their existence aA psoprietors and
which alof.S, can maintain them in Sc
cure ownership"
is 1t likely" he asks, that the i'm
perial parliament, having its hundreds
of thousands of discharged, brave, loy-
81 soldiers to provide for, will leave
Ireland in the ownership Of men, q
mere class, who m this deadly crisis, this
life n death struggle, are proving
themselves foe Of England, of Great
Britain, Of the British empire-which
ought to be their Ang1o-Irish empire
and of their great allied nations? They
Will not respect the brand lew land
titles which they themselves have
made and can unrnake.
With every day that passes the
temper OF England Is rising. Let it rise
a little more and things will happen"
The question OF their future fortunes
as peasant proprietors has certainly
BEEN exercising the minds Of some
irish farmers in q very different di.
rection from that Indicated by Stand.
tsh O'Grady. A leading Dublin lawyer
told h Associated Press representa-.
tive hat he had been remOnstra.ing

country, an Influential farmer, as I'd
his attitude towards the war. and ask
Ing HIM wha he supposed his position
would be if.the Germans won the war
and came to Ireland The reply he got
was that if the Germans completely
overthrow the British government, tho
Irish farmers would be no worse off
and might be better: there would no
longer be any legal authority to col-
lect the Lam instalments. the Germans
might remit them. and leave them tho
land for nothing. Tho Sim Fein lead.J
ers in Dublin have no such delusionAl
but 1t Is asserted that followers of thES
type throughout the country have enAs
