OUR STATES FINANCES.

No matter how hard the Socialist administration try to
cover it up, our state is in a very embarrassing condition SO
far as it's ready finances are concerned. According to our
state auditor there was less than 1000 in the general fund Of
the state, and thousands Of warrants which had been issued
had to be turned down on account Of no funds to pay them.
1t may be all right to juggle figures as our Socialist officials
are doing, in order to try and fool the people to believe that
we have plenty of money in the state treasury, but the fact still
remains that SO far as ready cash is concerned our state is prac-
tically broke. Sooner OF later there may be plenty of money,
but it will not be until the property owners of this state Will
discover that in order to keep up the Socialist regime taxes
will go mounting sky high, and then there will be weeping and
wailng and gnashng Of teeth and after a while these fell
lows who are now believing all that the Socialist is saying will
learn a thing or two. Thousands of dollars have been transfer
red from special funds to the general fund in order to make a
showing, but every dollar taken out of a special fund, causes
that fund to suffer, and nothing is gained only to try and fool
the people.

WAGES AND THE BRoTHERHooDs.

The Railroad Brotherhoods, representing 1900, 600 men
ON ali railways III the United States, have delivered an ultima
tum to the Government that they will tie up all transporta-
ton from coast to coast, to force another billion dollar wage
advance, and at the same time compel the Government to buy
agement.
Members of Congress who are astounded by this latest
Brotherhood ultimatum regard this plan as Bolshevism of the
purest Russian type. The Government has been very liberal
in it's treatment of railway employees, having increased their
payroll from. 81, $780, 600, 900 in 1917 to $4,000, 900 900 this
year. This is an increase in the payroll of ST. O,OOO,O 900. The
from $1,000 to 1900 a year, and has raised the average of
100000 Of the better paid men to more than $4,000 a year.
Thousands of the employees are now earning much more than
the under officials of the roads.
But, in spite of this enormous increase in the payroll. with
out a parallel in the history of industry, the leaders of the or
gained forces are now asking for a billion dollars more. This
would bring the average wages of all employees, including un-
skilled as we'll as skilled labor, up to $4,000 a year. The work
ers IN the railway shops who received a wage increase of $780,,
ooo'ooo last year, are now asking for $4,000, 900 more. The
Jour train brotherhoods who have received 5000, 900, 900 of
increased wages in addition to the $50, 600, 900 awarded by
the Adamson Law, are asking for $3.50, 900, 900 more. I
opokesnnen Tor the employees officially notified the Rail-
road Administration that the billion dollar increase of the past
year IS most unsatisfactory to the men, and does not enable
them to meet the high cost of living. These union leaders have
told the President that they must either have higher wages or
ne must reduce the cost of living. The Director General of
increases in their wages, after the very heavy increased of the
PAST year would only result in increasing the cost of all produc-
ton' ana so raising the prices of all necessities.
Government officials who are sincerity DESTROYS Of ado
Quately coping with the situation brought upon by war prices
and helping all working people to earn adequate wages. point
out that the bulk of all cost of production in this country is
cost OF production, and so raises prices to the consuming nnb1ic
they show that the country will never get on a normal basis
OF prices oy continuous increases in wages, which simply raise
all prices higher. Some of the more bread guaged labor lead.
ers are u the same opinion, and they are pointing out to thei,
wage earners, and IN effect make them profteers on each
otner: But these conservative labor leaders find it difficult

claim, located at Tiff Station, to A. E.

Cordia maintains that he had an I'M

molly by which he held some interest
in the property, and now sues for an
accounting, praying for judgment in
the above amount. The defendants
had held ownership of the property
only about a year, and claim it was
a white elephant on their hands while
they had it, and that they sold it to
Stocking for just what they had paid
for it in the first place.

Yale varsity players were in uniform
to-day and none were sent into the
scrimmage practice. The second var
sity battled with the scrubs, making
two touchdowns to one for the reserve
eleven. Paul Crane and Frank Webb,
second team halfbacks, reeled off the
scores, Webb smashing over the line,
closing series of old-fashioned line
plunging drives. while Cranes tally
was registered when he made a 3O-yard
run after intercepting a forward rass.
For the scrub score, that team had
been held on their 1-yard line on
downs. Chick Neville, quarterback.
fumbled, but Babe Robinson snatched
up the fumbled ball and went over the
line.

ply ran the varsity at quarterback and

back. Braden, La Roche and Walker, of

Coaches TO Drive
Columbia Eleven
For Williams Game

Columbia started to work in earnest
yesterday afternoon for the game with
Williams on Saturday. This contest
will be as hard as any on the schedule,
and the coaches are anxious for q vic
tory. The coaching staff was augment
ed by the arrival of Tom Thorpe, coach
of the line in past years, who gave the
men long drill. He lined the first
and second team linemcn up against
each other, drilling them on breaking
through and in charging.
He is endeavorng to get fighting
front line that Will resist the attacks
OF the fast Williams backs. In the drill
Forsythe and Scovil again showed up
brilliantly getting most OF the tackles
between them. Scovil is fighting hard
for & regular berth on that line, and
looks most promising.
Many of the backs were given the
afternoon off to rest up after Satur-
days game. Captain Canapary was
among these. Canapary played brill
liant game Saturday, showing great
pluck when he insisted on going back
into the game after he had been in
jured. Quigley, Jack Kennedy, Eccles,
Charlie Shaw and Sam Weinstein were
also excused. Wcinstein's injury is not
serious. and he will be out in togs to-
morrow. Sam played a great game
until he was injured, he and Kennedy
making pair of wing men who will
make Boynton 60 to get away Saturday.
Major Reiley, of the "Fghtng 69th,"
was also helping the coaches in getting
the men into shape, working with Tom
Thorpe on the linemen.
