s3O0,0OO,0OO RAISE
FOR RAIL WORKERS
Big Wage Increase Granted BY
Wage Commission.
BASE RATE ON LIVING COST
Advances Range From 81 to $34 .
Month, ss7, 500 Employees win
Benefit-BeIieved McAdoo Win
Accept Report.

Washington, May 9-Wage adj
yances to 1,939,399 railroad employees,
ranging from ! per cent to the high
est to 43 per cent TO the lowest paid
workers and aggregating $300.000,000,
were made public in an exhaustive re-
port by the railroad wage commission
TO Director General McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdoo, It is learned on high
authority. viii accept the report and
put the wage increases into effect at
once as of the date of January / last.
The members of the four brother
hoods of railway employees, who were
awarded the smallest increases In view
of high pay and recent advances, vir-
tually agreed to accept the verdict Of
the wage commission after their in
sistent demands had caused the presi-
dent to attempt an adjustment.
Wage Advance From. 81 to $34.
The wage advances, which range all
the way from 81 to S34 a month, are
increases above the amount of pay
each employee was receiving ON De-
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent of the differ
ence between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost of the additional pay
to the railroads is estimated at $780,
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of $S00,0000,000 in gov
eminent operation of the railroads
this year, as a result of which Director
General McAdoo contemplates adj
vancing passenger rates at least pa
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as 10 per cent.
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
had increased approximately 40 per
cent to the average railroad employee
receiving $50 a month.
The commission favors shorter av-
erage workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect reform that would
slow down the war machinery anu
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, a road engineer,
for example, receiving IN increase of
liz per cent in his mileage rate. A
scheme of applying the increases to
piece work ard overtime therefor is
also provided.
The report of the commission, con
sisting of Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles c. McChord,
]. Harry Covington and William r.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one.

Baker Says Early Forecast Has
Been Surpassed.
NO MACHINE GUN SHORTAGE
Secretary Declares Light Type Of
Brownings Is Being Made in Guam
ties, but Manufacturers Esti-
mates as to Heavier Weap-
ons Were Too opti-
mistic.

Washington, May 9.-More than half
a million American soldiers have been
sent to France. Secretary Baker au-
thorized the statement that his fore
cast to congress in January that 100000
troops would be dispatched to France
early in the present year now had
been surpassed. Mr.. Baker dictated
the following statement:
In January / told the senate COM
mittee that there was strong likelihood
that early in the present year 100000
American troops would be dispatched
to France. l cannot either now or
perhaps later discuss the number of
American troops in France, but am
glad to be able to say that the for ,cast
l made in January has been sar-
passed.
The secretary declared there is no
shortage of small arms.
No Shortage Of Guns.
AS result of a personal investi-
cation of machine gun production dur
ing the last few days, the secretary
announced that there is no present
shortage Of light or heavy types of
these weapons either in France or
America and no shortage is in pros
pect.
Mr.. Baker said there had been no
question bought up as 70 tue supplies
of light-type Browning guns, which
were coming forward in quantities.
He would not say whether shipment
of these guns to France had been
started. AS to the heavy Brownings.
he said:
Early manufacturers estimates as
to the production of the heavy type
perhaps were more optimistic than
was justified. The estimate of the
ordnance department in January has
been met and is being met.
"Some of these heavy guns have
been produced ard there is every in
dicat:en of lortheeming production in
increasing and aabstantial numbers"
stettinus Rifles on Q 1.enca.
Secretary Baker announced that Ed
ward r. Stettinus, assistant secretary
of war, has been placed "a complete
charge of all ordnance construction,
and, in addition to unraveling the
present tangle in the manufacture Of
machine gun and small caliber cannon,
viii have absolute charge of the pro-
posed new expenditure Of mere than
$6,000,G00,G00. which is to be devoted
largely to the prodgetinA of heavy
guns of type more powerful than
any now in existence.

MOONEY GIVEN
 AREPRIEVEBY
 CAL. GOVERNOR

LOS ANGELES. July Ex-Governor Stephens has granted a reprieve staying Thomas Moneys execution until Friday, December 13. The governor stated that, although he still believes that the man is guilty and should go to the chair on the day formerly appointed, the senti- ment of the people is such that he thinks it better to postpone the date to show everybody that the case has received the fullest consideration by the state executive and judicial branches.
 The Mooney case has attracted worldwide interest. The President has twice appealed to Governor Stephens for new trial. Mooney's defense tried in every way possible to secure a new trial, and failing in that filed an application for pardon based on alleged irregular testimony of the prosecutions witnesses. The brief which was filed deals primarily with these witnesses and attempts to show their unreliability.
 At the present time Mooney is at San Quentin pen. The date of the execution was originally set for Au. gust 23. Mooney was moved to the death row about two weeks ago.
