troll which undertook the task of

SMALL INCREASE IN WAGE
-Four Cents Raise on 10 Hours PAY
For Eight Hours Work,

Washington, Aug. 25.-.president
Wilson to-day submitted to rel,re-
sentatives of the six railroad shop
crafts a proposal to pay shopmen
about 4 cents an hour increas on a
basis Of ten hours pay for eight
hours work, retroactive to May :.
The President told the committee
Of 100 representing the shop craft
that any great Increase now would
greatly increase the cost Of living
and therefore was inadvisable.
Certain classes of shopmen, such
as car inspectors and car repairmen,
who have been receiving 63 cents and
So cents, respectively, would he paid
67 cents an hour under the pro-
posed scale.
The shopmen representatives told
the President they would submit the
proposition to their members, whose
original demands were for an ad-
vance Of 25 per cent.
The President requested that the
men not act on the original proposi-
tion of having congressional COM
mission pass on the wage demands.
A vote of the shopmen on this prop
osition is now being tabulated

CLEMSON COLLEGE OUT OF DE,,T
ltepays to the State Loan Which IT.
Made Back in 1910,

Clemson College, Aug. 25.-Clem-
son College has repaid to the State
the loan which 1t made in 1916. by
payment Of $4,000, under date Of
August 16. to the Palmetto National
Bank. The total loan was for s62.-
400, borrowed with the authority OF
the Legislature, in January, 1916.
The first payment of $21,G44 was
made during 1916, after which the
Legislature changed the terms of
payment so that the college might
nave five years, IL desired, in which
to complete payment. Since 1916
the college has been putting aside
every year $4,000 or more towards
the final payment when it became
due
The board of trustees and the
president felt special obligation to
pay this loan within the allotted time
ana are gratifled that the college
is now out Of debt. While there
were two moro years in which to
complete payment, 1T was decided TO
save interest charges by paying as
soon as the necessary funds could he
accumulated. During the war period
there we're so many vacant positions
ON the faculty that the college was
able to save little more money than
usual, and these savings helped to
make 1t possible to cancel the debit
at this time.

WE MUST CONSIDER COST
or Living, Says President in Con-
sidering Wage Question.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Postpone-
ment of the settlement Of the shop
mems wage demands until normal
economic conditions are restored was
announced to-day by President VIII
son as the policy which the admini-
stration will pursue in dealing with
such questions, particularly those af-
fecting railroad workers.
The President announced also thEt
1T was neither wise nor feasible at
this time, when the most important
question before the country is a re-
turn tC a normal price level, to at
tempt to Increase freight rates to
provide funds for higher wages.
1--WE ought to postpone questions
OF this sort until we have the op-
portunity for certain calculations as
to the relation between wages and
thescost. of liSingn,S the Presidenty de-
clared in a statement tO the public
explaining his decision as to wages.
"lt is the duty Of every citizen to
insist upon truce in such contests
until intelligent settlements can be
made, and made by peace and effec-
tive common counsel. I appeal to
my fellow citizens Of every employ
ment to cooperate in insisting upon
and maintaining such a truce"
Policy Covers Many Cases.
Mr.. Wilson's statement was issued
In connection with the decision Of
himself and Director General Hines
on demands by railroad shopmen for
a 20 per cent advance in wages, but
the general policy pronounced covers
also the wage demands Of other hun
dreds Of thousands Of railroad work
ers, which ore pending before the
director general or about to be pre-
sented. 1t is to be expected that
other unions trying to obtain more
pay will be asked, as the shopmen,
to play their part with other cit:-
zens In reducing the cost of living
by foregoing temporary advantage
which, would add to transportation
costs.

CHARLOTTE HAS HER TROUBLES
street Car superintendent is At

Charlotte, N. c. Aug. $50. H.
Drum, assistant superintendent of
the transportation department Of the
street car system here, was attacked
by strike sympathizers to-day and in
jured about the head. His assail-
ants were promptly jailed.
Other demonstrations were at
tempted when cars were run out on
three city lines following a tie-up of
two weeks by strikers. Numerous
threats have been made by sympa-
thizers on strike-breakers brought
here to man the cars, and trouble
Is anticipated. The entire police
force has been called out TO- day and
flremen with hose are in position on
the main streets to dispense mobs.
u. V. Taylor, president Of the
Southern Public Utilities Company,
publicly stated that his company
will not recognize the Amalgamated
Union Of Street Car Operators, but
will operate cars on the Charlotte,
Winston-Salem and Greenville sys-
TENS and call upon the government
to protect their property. The city
officials and a committee appointed
from the trade organizations here
recommended that the utilities COM
pany accept the strikers demands
and settle the troubles.
Calls Still Coming On.
Calls were coming in up to 1
o'clock to-day from various sections
OF the city and policemen we're being
sent with riot guns. Out Of two
dozen calls there had developed no
troubles more serious than the block
ing of cars and threats Of personal
violence. Early troubles in the
downtown section gave way to the
firm attitude maintained by men,
bers Of the police force. The arrest
Of the man attacking Superintendent
Drum, Of the street car operating
force, and the warning issued to
others who appeared boistrous.
tended to restore order in a gradual
way. BY noon the unruly element be-
gan to scatter out along the routes
of the cars. 1t Is said strikers are
not involved in the troubles, but are
cooperating with the city officials to
restore order.
