WILSON CALLS A HALT
ON R. R. WAGE RAISES
President Agrees 10 Eight Hour
Day REIMBURSEMENT Giving &c.
an Hour Increase.

ington.-President Wilson has
taken the first step toward curbing the
epidemic of higher wage demands.
with the Inevitable consequence Of still
higher production costs, continuing
increases in the expenses of living and
the completion OF the circle by addi-
tional demands to meet the new con-
ditions
He denied the demand Of the rail-
road shopmen for a general increase
of wages from u to p cents an hour.
though he conceded TO them the prin-
ciple Of ten hours pay on the pre-war
schedule, for an eight-hour day This
amounts 10 an increase of about four
cents per hour for the higher paid men
and nine cents for others.
The decision was the result of rec
concentrations by Director General of
Railroads Hines and was announced
by the President TO a delegation Of 100
labor leaders at the Whlee House, VINO
came at the Presidents invitation 70
hear the verdict and his explanation
of the reasons for il.
The labor chiefs left the session with
grave faces. The had a subsequent
session with Director General Hines,
at which they asked if the decision was
final. They were told that it was; that
the government had determined on the
indicated course in regard 10 all gen.
eral wage demands
The verdict was a bitter disa3-
pointment TO the labor chiefs. They
believed up 10 the last minute that
the demands OF tie men would be met
for the most para belief that was
shared by nearly everybody not In the
confidence Of the Administration.

Overwork defeats its own ends. The

Control Yourself.

The lack of sef-control which shows
Itself by flood of tears when any
thing goes wrong is not very much
better than the lack of self control
Which shows itself by ill-temper. The
gill who snaps because she is nervous.
generally realizes that she deserves to
be scolded, but the one who diSsolves
in tears Is likely TO think that she
should be pitied. A wise girl controls
herself, resisting the temptation OF
