RAIL WORKERS RAISED
NEATLY A MILLION MEN AFFEcT-
ED BY M'ADoo's ORDER.
Track Laborers, Watchmen, Clerks,
Station Agents and Others Draw
ing Small Pay Benefited.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Neariy 1,O0O,-
600 men, or half the railroad en-
ployees of the United States, share
in additional wage increases approved
by Director General McAdoo. Track
laborers, watchmen, other main
tenance of way employees, clerks, sta
ton agents and other classes of EN-
ployees drawing relatively low pay are
benefited.
The new increases, the second grant
ed in supplement to the governments
general wage order, will add nearly
$lO0.0O0,000 to the annual railroad pay
rolls, it is said. Most of the increases
range from 10 to 80 per cent above
present wages
Details of the new order will be an
nounced today. Mr.. McAdoo approved
most of the recommendation of the
board of railroad wages and working
conditions, which investigated requests
OF employees for more pay. Increases
for railorad telegraphers are the sub
]ect OF another report to be made soon.
Garnishment of railroad employees
pay was forbidden by Director Gen.
eral McAdoo as a means of ending
much legal work. At the same time
1t was made plain that employees who
do not pay their bills Will be dis
missed. This, it is believed, will prove
sufficient protection for merchants
holding bills against railroad men.

GARFIELD PRAISES AUToIsTs
Response of Americans to Appeal to
Refrain From Using Cars Sunday
Was Virtually 100 Per Cent.

Washington, Sept 4.-The patriotic
response of the American motorist to
the appeal of Doctor Garfield, federal
fuel administrator, to conserve gaso-
line by refraining from Sunday motor
ing in the territory Of the Mississippi
river, was virtually 100 per cent the
first Sunday, according to reports re-
ceived by the administration, the first
working day since The appeal became
operative.
II am greatly gratifed,' said Doctor
Garfield, 'by this voluntary sacrifice
given so readily and unQuestionably. 1t
simply shows what the American peo-
pie can do in patriotic way when
urged by common patriotic purpose.
IF the response next Sunday is as
complete as we expect it to be in con-
sidering the splendid showing made
the first Sunday, there certainly viii
be no need for any order and no anx-
iety for the conservation we must have
for overseas"

lied Nations.

Means America viii Go Into Peace
Conference Recognizing lndepend-
ence of Large Section of
Austria-Hungary.

Washington, Sept. 4.-The United
States has recognized the Czech-Slov *
peoples as a co-belligerent nation r.
the war against Germany and Austria
Hungary and their national council as
de facto government clothed with
due authority to direct the political
and military affairs of their people.
Prof. t. G. Masarky, president OF
the CZech-Slovak national council and
commander in chief of the Czech
Slovak armies fighting in Russia,
France and Italy, met Secretary Lam
sing at the state department and was
formally notified of President Wilson's
action.
Secretary Lansing's Statement.
In extending recognition, Secretary
Lansing said:
"The Czech-Slovak peoples having
taken up arms against the German and
Austrian empires, and having placed
organized armies in the field, which
are waging war against those empires
under officers of their own rational
Ity and in accordance with the rules
and pracuces of civilized nations; and
"The Czech-Slovaks having in prose
cution of their independent purposes
in the present war confided supreme
political authority to the Czech-Slovak
national council.
"The government of the United
States recognizes that a state Of bel
ligerency exists between the Czech
Slovaks thus organized and the Ger
man and Austro-Hungarian empires.
Is De Facto Government.
TT also recognizes the CZech-Slovak
national council as de facto belliger-
ent government, clothed with proper
political affairs of the Czech Slovaks.
1.-THE government of the United
States further declares that it is pre-
pared to enter formally into relations
with the de facto government, thus
recognized, for the purpose of prose
cutting the war against the common
enemy, the empires Of Germany aand
Austro- Hungary"
Great Britain. France and Italy al
ready have recognized the Czech-Slo-
vaks. Japan has given implied recog-
milton by participation in the interna-
tional Siberian expedition, which is
aiding the Czech Slovaks and loyal
Russians in re-establishing the east
ern front.
The headquarters of the nation are
at present in Paris and its territorial
boundaries include Bohemia, Moravia
and a portion of Galicia.
Tremendous political significance is
attached in diplomatic quarters to the
action of the United States 1t means
that America and her allies will go
into the peace conference recognizing
as an independent nation and ally a
large section of the present Austro-
Hungarian empire.
An important immediate result of
recognition is the protection it af-
fords to Czech-Slovaks captured by
the enemy. The Austrians have Deen
