WILSON SUBMITS MORE
 PAY TO RAILROAD MEN
To Allow Thew Greater Increase in Pay Would Raise the Cost
 of Living.

Washington Aug. 25. - President Wilson today submitted to representa- tives of the six railroad shop craft proposal to pay shop men about four cents an hour increase on a basis of 10 hours pay for eight hours work, retroactive to May l.
 The president told the committee of 100 representing the shop crafts that any greater increase now would great ! 1y increase the cost of living and there fore was inadvisable
 i Certain classes of shopmen, car in spectors. repair men. who have been receiving & cents and 58 cents. res pectively, would be paid q cents an hour under the proposed scale.
 The shopmen's representatives told the president they would submit the proposition to their members whose original demands were for an advance of p per cent The president re quested that the men do not act on the original proposition to have a con- gressional committee pass on the wage demands. A vote of the shop men on this proposition is now being tabulated The increase represents a concession amount to approximately one-fourth of the demand made by the shopmen.
 The shopmen ask for a 25 per cent increase on their basic pay of 6S cents an hour This increase would have amounted to IF cents an hour, where as the proposal of the president would give them four cents an hour or 40 cents a day more than the workers now receive.
 The president coincident with his statement to the shopmens represent atives addressed statement to the public advising the nation of the sit uation and the basis of his action.
 The four cents an hour increase proposed. the presidents statement said represents readiustment or shopmen's wages to put their pay on the same basis as other railroad work CTS, that is one. the ten hour pay and eight hour work basis. and according ly is not in the strict sense an in crease in wages.
 Pointing to the shopmen's argument that an increase in wages was naces- sary in order to meet the high cost of living, the president said the workers demands were in effect that we make an increase in wages, which are likely to be permanent, in order to meet a temporary situation which will last nobody can certainly tell how long, but in all probab bility only for limit ed time"
 The presidents statement said that ''it is neither wise nor feasible to take care of increases in wages of railroad employees at this time by increases in freight rates"

PARIS, Feb. 1S.-President Polncare
gave testimony yesterday In the case
OF Senator Charles Humbert, former
proprietor Of LIE journal, who has been
under examination for some time In

the Bolo Pasha and other treason cases.
The presidents testimony was taken
by Paul Andre, president Of the appeal
court, who went to the palace OF the
Elysee for the purpose accompanied by
his chief clerk.

Humbert during the course of his ex-
aminations had frequently invoked the
name OF President Poincare, declaring
that he had often seen the president
during the course OF the war. President
Poincare testified under similar cir
Cumstances In the ease against Nine.
