it is not doubtful that some form
dedicatorial exercises will be held in

room enough for the two flags on the

a taller flag staff.

Higher Pay Recommended for
Classes of Clerks.

Washington,

Washington, Aug. 2s.-Higher
wages for railroad track laborers and
for certain classes of clerks were
recommended to Director General Nc
Adoo today by the board of railroad
wages and working conditions.
The advances suggested range be-
tween 15 and rs per cent, it is said,
and would affect more than 100000
employees. Mr.. McAdoo will act soon
on the recommendations.
This is the best news to railroad en-
ployes in Topeka in years. There
probably are at least 1900 clerks in
the Santa Fe general offices alone.
The railway clerk for all time has been
the goat of railway wage increases.
The clerks are not organized, they
have no leaders to argue their case,
they are absolutely at the mercy of
the railroad. Even tho the Santa Fe
always has tried to take care of them
in these days of the higher cost of liv-
ing, the greatly increased expenses
due to higher wages paid union labor
has kept the clerk from receiving the
same treatment as his neighbor who
has the protection of the union or
ganization. OF course. the people

Navy and Marine Corps May
Get Drafted Men.

Washington, Aug. 29.-The purely
voluntary system of enlistment in the
army, navy and marine corps is def
initely at an end. Regulations are be-
ing considered, however, whereby the
navy and marine corps will receive
certain portion of draftees for their
services.
While a man cannot actually volun-
teer there will be certain latitude as to
induction in the special branches of
the war department, including navy
and marine corps. Details are with
held.
Exemption to Experts.
War manufacturers, having learned
of the prospect of draft invasion of
their workers, have been comforting
recently with cabinet officers here
In general arrangements will be made
for exempting from actual military
service of any skilled worker now en-
ployed in special war work. A system
of checking will be involved whereby
the worker will lose his exemption if
he transfers to a non-essential line or
fails to keep up his usual standard of
work.
The system is already in use in the
navy department. particularly in such
plants at Midvale and Bethlehem.
