CBy Associated Press.l

Washington, Feb. I9.-The neces
sity for increased wages for railroa
employees was conceded yesterday b
representatives of a majority of tn
railroads Of the United States. ap
pearing for the first time before tn
governments railroad wage com
mission. They said they came, no
to oppose requests Of the employees
but merely to aid the commission b.
giving information.
"Oficials need no evidence that tn
cost of living has increased and tina
the low paid man needs assistanc
during the war" declared j. w
Higgins OF Chicago, executive sec
rotary of the Western Association o
Railways, speaking for the railroad
Of the western district.
No one recognizes more keenl.
than the arrangements that Their
are numerous classes Of employs
not properly remunerated, said q. w
Walber, Of New York, secretary o
the bureau of information of The
eastern railways.
+. W. Brown Of Washington. as
slstant to the vice president OF tn
Southern railway, did not touch OF
the need for wage advances, bu
agreed that conditions outlined II
other sections applied equally to tn
south. The railroads in the easter
and western territory pay IS PEI
cent Of the money earned by railroad
employees in the United States.
Mr.. Higgins assertion that tIt
low paid man should be helped drew
from Secretary Lane a query as Il
what he considered a low paid man.
Il would say that all men receiv.
ing under $3.50 a month need more
money to meet the advance III
prices OF necessities" Mr.. Higgins
replied. Perhaps the limit Of thost
who need help should be raised {,
$4,000 a year. which seems to be tn,
line drawn by the government ir
the income tax law. The Creates
advance should be given to the mel
making less than 800 a month
Those fellows must be having o
strenuous time"
The $4,000 limit would include al

ers' United Stores company by
A. G. Townley, are Of the opin-
ion that the plan of organization
and operation OF these stores is
not based on good business prin-
ciples and not workable as a
lasting business proposition, and
we fully believe that the only
safe and sane method Of building
up a thorough business by and
for the farmers is by adopting
the Rochdale system, which Is
the official teaching and approved
plan of the Farmers union.
I'VE hereby recommend that
all Farmers union members
should carefully investigate and
consider the agreement Of the

pany, which is printed herewith.
Consider this agreement careful
ly and from every angle. We full
ly believe that if this is done,
and If the members of the
Farmers union will put the same
amount Of money into their own
business, it will be the means of
establishing for themselves a
real and profitable cooperative
business, that will be much more
satisfactory, and be the means OF
aiding true cooperation for all
