EXEMPTION FOR RAIL
WORKERS Is URGED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Prompt ac-
tion TO secure the exemption Of skilled
railroad workers from the draft was
urged today upon the President and tn
War Department by Director General
McAdoo. In a long conference with the
President the director general present
ed the situation as a most serious one
in so far as the essential industrial
and military activities Of the country
were concerned. Railroad transporta-
ton will, in his opinion. he seriously
crippled unless immediate steps are
taken TO save TO the service its skilled
men.
Immediately after the conference
with Secretary McAdoo the President
walked across Executive avenue to the
War Department for a conference with
Secretary Baker. 10 is understood that
he went over the question Of military
exemption for the railroad workers
whose ranks have been depleted seri-
ously by enlistments and the previous
draft calls.
The stopping Of enlistments for the
army and navy has benefited materially
the transportation situation, but Mr.
NIcAdoO and his railroad advisers are
convinced that the railroads would
suffer unless exemption is ordered.

PAY ADVANCE FOR
SOME RAILR0ADERS

WASHINGTON. D. c.. Aug. 30.-Higher
wages for railroad track laborers and
for certain classes OF clerks were rec
ommended TO Director General McAdoO
yesterday by the Board Of Railroad
Wages and Working Conditions.
The advances suggested range be-
tween 10 to 25 per cent. It is said, and
would affect more than 100000 en-
ployes. Mr.. McAdoo VIII act soon on
the recommendations.
The board was called into confer
ence yesterday by the Director General
and asked TO ascertain the aggregate
amount represented by its proposals.
This report will be presented within a
few days.
Despite the recent general wage ad-
vance for all railroad employees, recent
reports indicate that other industries
paying higher wages for common labor
have drawn thousands Of men from
track maintenance work on railroads
and the corps Of workers had been
seriously depleted. Consequently wage
increases are recommended as an emer-
gency proposition.
All classes Of railway clerks are not
exiected TO share in higher wages. A
sliding scale has been recommended
with greatest advances for employees
who have served long hours for sew
eral years since railroad business be-
gan TO grow in volume so rapidly.

Making and Unmaking Towns
What the War Has Done Chicago Corn Field and Cotton
Plantation.

men and women working on war or
ders; Chicago has few OF these out
side Of the stockyards district little war
work Is being done. And, too, excepting
the meat packers, war profits are IN
significant. Chicago's population has
headed toward the cities where profits
are being cOrnered and wages are high,
So r. Is that Chicago is now setting
into motion a somewhat belated pro-
gram OF war effort. The federal gov
ernment is to be besleged with pleas
entreatles and prussure to send war
factories TO Chicago. MunitiOn plants,
and what else the government may
want In war orders, are desired by the
Illinois Manufacturers Association.
That's how war-without war work
can depress a city's directory.
The other side-how IL can initiate it
Is found down in a Tennessee corn field
and an Alabama cotton patch.
When this year dawned Jacksonville,
Tenn. was a well cultivated corn field.
Then the government substituted pow
der for corn, and instead Of a few hun
dred bushels Of the latter will make
100000 pounds Of the former. Today
jacksonville has $1,000 homes where
three corn cribs stood, and over 50,-
600 men, women and children travel
over paved streets, ride in electric cars
and earn big wages.
Also, there's Sheffield Ala. On jan
uary 1, 1918, that was one mans cotton
patch. Two tenant families lived on II
and a dozen people had a hard time
making a living. Now Sheffield has 30
600 population, street cars, miles OF
paved streets, suburbs, and a young
army Of real estate experts are selling
subdivisions so fast that the street
naming bureau can't keep up with
them. The governments nitrate plant
did all this.
When Chicago's million has gone,
maybe there1l be enough good farming
land near Michigan boulevard to grow
quite a few bushels Of corn, and being
grown near the feeding pens Of the
stockyards, will be worth more than II
raised in Tennessee or Alabama. Chi
cago yet may become a fine little agri-
cultural center.

BOYS OF IS TO GET
CHANCE IN COLLEGE
Will be Inducted Into Serv-
ice As He Registers at
Institution
CONTINUE AT STUDY
UNTIL ARMY CALLS

I Fears that the new draft age limit
OF IS would throttle college sport were
dispelled yesterday. The outlook now
is for more competition than ever
before, for news came from Washing
ton that the government virtually had
taken over more than 400 colleges and
that IL would offer courses TO boys OF
"a without any charge. Not only will
their tuition be paid but the govern
ment vii feed and otherwise provide
for them. The boys will be permitted
10 continue their courses Just as long
as the military needs Of the nation and
their own records Of scholarship will
permit
This will send more boys than ever
before into the colleges, and IL is safe
TO say that Il will develop a record in
terest and participation In sport. Each
youth Of IS will be inducted into mill
tary service just as soon as he regis
ters at the college and he VIII come
under The supervision OF the War De-
partments drill masters and trainers.
BEFORE many weeks 90 by we may eX-
pect TO see every college coach and
trainer an officer in the military or
ganizafiOn. Coaches who now fear
that their work may be construed as
coming under the work or fight" Or
der, are likely to find that they are
enrolled in a highly important branch
or te military preparation Of the
youth Of the land.
The new proposition means a lot not
only for sport, but for the colleges
themselves. They depend TO a big ex-
tent on tuition fees and the outlook
had been for greatly decreased regis
iTa!icns. Now that the government
is TO take care OF all that the colleges
will enter on new era Of usefulness.
intercollegiate sport, while never real
" in jeopardy, will be saved and main
tained on a very extensive plane. It Is
an established fact that the youth Of
IS takes more readily and enthusiastic
ally TO open competition than does his
older brother.
