later received an announcement
that she had successfully passed
her tests. Miss Terry states that
at the tine she took the stem

physical test. She then received
word to the effect that she had
passed this test too, at which time
she was assigned to France. An
official announcement was received
last week notifying her to leave

was assigned to Red Cross head

cents per hour and basing their
findings on the wage rate paid in
1915. when, as it has been shown
above. the men succeeded in seCur-
ing an increase Of 10 cents per
hour during that time. and in ad-
ditiOn, the award Of the railroad
wage commission meant the re
esta bIishment Of a lot Of what IS
commonly known as step-rates,
whereas, in the 1917 agreement,
we had succeeded in eliminating
practically all OF these, thereby
placing all men on an equal basis.
In addition 10 the foregoing. We
desire to draw your attention to
the fact that prior to the findings
of the wage board being published,
the Third Liberty Loan campaign
was launched and the employees Of
all railroads and particularly the
Silvis shop men, responded most
nobly. Hundreds OF them bought
Liberty bonds with the intention
of paying for them out OF back pay
that would be due them when the
wage commission rendered its
a d u
themselves in a position where
they cannot pay for these bonds
and that naturally means one OF
two things. Either they must sur
render their bonds with the con
scquent chance OF being branded
as disloyaI. or else they may pay
for the bonds and thereby deprive
themselves and their families Of
the necessities Of life. The alb
surdity of the report rendered by
the wage commission is so appar-
ent TO everyone that it needs no
discussion, especially after the
many repeated promises of the
wage commission that the lOweset

increase, and the public press, both
