WAGE INCREASE IS
ALLOWED R. R. MEN
Advances to 1895, 399 Employ
ees, Based on Living Cost,
Totals $500, 900, 900.
M'ADOO MAY NOT APPROVE IT
Report of Commission Submitted to Di-
rector General Results in Protest
From Four Principal Broth
erhoods.

Washington, D. c., May 9.-Railroad
employees to the number of 1895. 800
will receive wage advances ranging
from l to 43 per cent to the lowest
paid workers, the total aggregating
$500, 900 900, according to the report of
the railroad wage commission submit
ted to Director General McAdoo.
Mr.. McAdoo is expected to adopt
only part of the recommendations and
probably will make a number of diff
ferent alignmentS In deciding what
wage increases shall be granted.
In general, the director general adj
vocates higher pay for most classes Of
workmen to enable them to meet In
creased living costs, but he has been
represented as favoring proportionate-
ly~ larger increases for some classes
than for others now making the same
pay. He also is strongly opposed to
granting wage increases which might
disarrange the general scheme Of pay
existing throughout other industries.
Leaders to Protest.
Lie I0dUeTS OF the TOUR pflnC1pal
railway brotherhoods found on ex-
aiming the report that they had
been recommended for less than half
the increases they had asked of the
railroad arrangements before govern
ment control started and which they
repeated before the commission. Their
demands had been for an average Of
somewhat less than 40 per cent, and
Increases for them average less than
20 per cent.
Some union leaders who anticipated
that the commissions recommends
tons would not be for as great
amounts as they had asked already
have appealed to Director General Nc
Adoo to amend the proposed scale to
give them higher pay. Others, how
ever. virtually have agreed to accept
the report.
The wage advances, which range all
the way from 81 to $34 a month, are
increases above the amount OF pay
each employee was receiving on De
cember 81, 1915. Employees who have
received advances since that date will
benefit now to the extent Of the differ
ence between their present wage and
that fixed by the wage commission.
The net cost Of the additional pay

practicable than all the solutions thus
far offered is proper housing.
Mere Shelter Not Enough.

Mere Shelter Not Encugh.
But proper housing does not mean
mere shelter. Man is a sentimental
animal. His hottest sentiment centers
about the home. Home ties mean con-
tentment; if they do not, they are not
ties for long. They mean attachment
to locality, they mean vital interest
in the community; they mean. most Of
all, a sense of security which implies
the psychologists and the workman
themselves tell us-permanence, com
fort and enthusiasm in ones surround
ings. This was the meaning of the
English cottage and garden.
The problem of housing then, is, FIRST
of all, one for the employer.
The problem is also one for the COM
munity and particularly for those MEM
bers Of the community who profit most
by its healthy, sound and consistent
growth. Chief among these members
also be interested, as well as the own
ers of traction companies, and all
those who are possessed of disinter-
ested civic pride.
So in the cities where the individual
employer cannot meet the problem, it,
is properly one for a stock company
composed of employers, bankers, mer-
chants, and those advocates of civic
betterments who prefer a garden sub
urb to long rows of poorly planned,
illbuilt, altogether mentally and finan-
cially depressing fats and shacks-
miscalled cottages.
Country Faces New Conditions.
There is, however, a larger and more
important phase of the problem than
any thus far considered here. The
new world contract which has been
thrust upon us within the last few
years brings an obligation to create
new, more beautiful, more efficient,
more glorious America. The founda-
ton of that America must be labor;
well paid, contented Labor; and only
such labor can be depended upon in
the period of all-inclusive readjust-
ments and reconstruction which may
be thrust upon us at any time by the
end of the world war. Proper hous-
ing, housing that, no matter who the
laborer or what his habits, creates the
permanent home sense, will be an inn

The Bronze ACE.

The bronze age prevailed in Tnany
parts of the world and among many
races and nations, but it was by no
means synchronous everywhere.
Among other places where bro ME was
used before iron were Bolivia and
Peru, in the days of the Incas. 1t has
long been a disputed question whether
these people dwelling along the Andes
invented bronze or merely obtained
it by accident from copper ores that
happened, as occasionally occurs, to
be mingled with a little tin.

TO the railroads IS estimated at $500.
100000. This is exclusive of the esti-
mated deficit of $500, 100000 in govern
ment operation of the railroads this
year, as result of which Director
General McAdoo contemplates adj
vancing passenger rates at least 21a
per cent and freight rates possibly as
much as Is per cent.
Based on Living Cost.
The scheme of wage advances adopt.
ed is based on an inquiry into the
cost of living, which the commission
found has increased approximately 40
per cent to the average railroad en-
ployee receiving $50 a month.
The commission favors a shorter
average workday, presumably eight
hours, but decided that in the war
emergency the nation could not afford
to put into effect a reform that would
slow down the war machinery and
discriminate against other classes OF
workers being called upon for great
sacrifices.
Rates of overtime pay are not dis
turbed and the increases are adjusted
to the mileage basis of compensation
of some employees, road engineer,
for example, receiving an increase of
liz per cent In his mileage rate. A
scheme Of applying the increases to
piece work and overtime therefor Is
also provided.
An important feature Of the report
was the recommendation that where
the same service is rendered the pay
shall be the same, without discrimina-
ton as to sex or race.
Report Of Commission.
The report Of the commission, con-
sisting of Franklin K. Lane, secretary
of the interior; Charles G. McChord,
J. Harry Covington, and William r.
Wilcox, is an exhaustive one. In part
the report says:
'The requests which have come to
us for wage increases, would, If fully
granted, involve an additional outlay
in wages of somewhat over $1,O0O,OOO,-
600 per year in excess of the wage fund
of last year, which exceeded $4,000.
100000. Some asked for an increase
of 100 per cent in their pay, and from
this they graduated downward to 10
per cent None were satisfied with
their present wages.
San unprecedented call had come for
men of certain trades in connection
with the new industries that had been
created by the war in Europe, and this
long before our entry into the conflict.
Machinists and iron workers of all
kinds found themselves to be essential
to the great munition plants and day
labor of the most unskilled character
rose into high demand.
Cut Off Those Not Needed.
"The commission recommends that
during the period of government con-
duct of the railroads no salaries paid
to officials who are not essential to
the operation of the roads shall be
charged as part of the operating ex-
penses.
There should be constituted a tri-
bunal or tribunals to continue the
study of railroad labor problems, COM
posed in part at least of men expert
enced in this kind of work, for con-
ditions are ever changing"

War Forces Consideration.
The great war, however, has been
the great precipitation. It has crystal
lized conditions that would otherwise
have been a generation, century or
a quintet in fiuX. The housing prob
lem in the United States has been NOV
ed up at least generation. Where
yesterday it was with many Industrial
organizations matter of sentiment or
casual experiment, it is today prob
lem of grim necessity, though it will
never find real solution until senti-
nent mingles with business judgment
to produce a humanity likeable, work
able and altogether satisfactory result.
The reason why the housing prob
lem cannot be dealt with solely in a
cold, logical, business fashion should be
apparent to everyone. That it is not
apparent is evident from the fact that
many attempts at solving the problem
in America have resulted unsatisfac-
torily.

problem provides dwelling that COM

DEMONSTRATION CLUB
The Home Demonstration Club held
it's regular meeting at the home Of
Mrs. A. f. Doty. That much interest
is being manifested in these meetings
is very evident by the large number
of members who attend each time.
The meeting was opened by repeating
the Lords Prayer in concert after
which Mrs. S. O. Plowden made some
helpful remarks concerning the i'm
n nF hn Ii, Nf e.
the body needs, and the foods to meet
these needs.
"The subject for the afternoon was:
"What shall l cat?" The leader out
lined the subject first MS to what the
body needs in the way of food and
the purpose each is to perform. Foods
were classified into the following:
Carbohydrates, fats, protcins, mineral
matter, water and the newly discov-
cred substance, which IS called vita
mines. Mrs. Plowden had with her
samples of food for the club to classi-
fly according to the outline she had
so well given. After this classifica-
ton she demonstrated "Bat"' Eggs"
Mrs. Doty made an ideal hostess and
her refreshments consisted of sand
wiches and coffee, which were very de-
iightful. The reports from each mem
Dci oi Iheif cnicKenS, eggs, Dutter,
milk, ETC., was called for, and the i'm
portance Of keeping a correct account
of same was urged by Mrs. Plowden.

relieved colds by drawing the blood
from congested throat and lungs to the

Thousands who have depended on
these remedies and declare that no
better ever has been discovered, now
find that the addition of Mcnthol,

fumes are inhaled among the sensitive
