ing contract with the Trolleymen' 3
Union "now or at any other time" He

Ask Railway Administra-
ton for Raise That Will
Average % Per Cent
Shops Output Has Fallen
Following Adjustment of
''Piece Work" Efficiency
Decreased % Per Cent


WASHINGTON, March S.-Dissatis-
fed with the wage increases granted
them during the first year of govern
ment control of the railroads, the rail
road shop workers, it became known
to-day, have presented demands to
the United States Railroad Admins
tration for a further raise of 30 per
cent. effective January /, 1919. A
hearing on the question has been set
by the Board of Wages and Working
Conditions for March II, in this city.
Like the "Big Four" brotherhoods,
the shop workers have gone on rec
ord in favor of government owner
ship of the railroads under the So
called plumb plan" whereby the man
agement of the properties would be
placed in the hands Of a corporation
controlled by the employees. and the
profits split between the government
and the employees
The new scale % wages demanded
by the shop workers provides for n
minimum hourly rate of 80 cents for
machinists. blacksmiths. sheet metal
workers. electrical workers, carmen
and bollermakers; a minimum hourly
rate of 60 cents for helpers and n
diferential above the minimum hourly
rate for certain classes of employees.
Stacking" Follows Change
The present rate Is 68 cents an hour
for the first group, who. before the in
crease allowed last year by the rail
road administration, were averaging So
cents an hour on the "piece" basis.
The railroad administration at the re
quest of the shop workers has abol-
ished the piece-work basis in practi-
cally all of the railroad shops in re-
Spouse to a referendum among the
workers allowed by former Director
General McAdoo. A test made on one
of the largest railroad Systems in the
country, 1t was stated to day. showed
that IN consequence Of the abolishment
of piece work the output Of the shops
has decreased Oh the average ~ per
cent On one diviHion Of this system
tho decrease was rs high M 90 per
cent
What tha new increases, If granted,
viii aggregate has not yet been figured
out by officials of the railroad admin
istrat'on' It was stated today 1t has
been predicted that the new raise
scheduled for the big Four" brother
hoods will amount to between 60,000,-
00G and $l00,000,000 n year.
Employees Are Dissatisfied
In presenting the new demands of
the shop men h. M. Jewell, acting pres
ident of the Railway Employees Depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, and the executives of the ind-
vidual organizations, sent to the D-
rector General letter stating that
great dissatisfaction" has been mani
tested by the machinists, blacksmiths,
boilermakers, sheet metal workers,
electricians and carmen, regular and
helper apprentices and helpers, due to
the present inadequate wage rates" as
provided for in the 1918 award.
The employees, the letter states, have
been very insistent" in their demands
for some time, but the executives of
the union withheld the request "until
they have become so persistent that

a PENSION CERTIFICATE OF
1912
Judge Roam Has One-Some of The
Judges Anteeedents

Judge A. I. Roare showed the writ
er afew days ago a pension certificate
of the war of 1872 issued to his faith
er, Andrew Roane. The certificate
was numbered 21,361 and dated
April 3, 1874. 1t bore the signatures
of B. o. COwan, acting secretary Of
the Interior and J. n. Baker. Com
missioner of pensions. Doubtless
there are not many now living who
even saw a pension certificate Of the
war of 1912. Andrew Roane was
with Andrew jackson at the battle
Of New Orleans, January 8.1815.
Judge Roane's grandfather. Arch
ibald Roare, was one of the immor-
tails whose bloOdstained tracks at
Valley Forge under the leadership
Of George Washington marked the
pathway for freedom. Perhaps his
tory does not record greater suffer
ing, more endurance and greater
patriotism than that which was shown
by Washington's few thousand men
at Valley Forge. the darkest hour of
the Revolution.
There are but few men who man.
fest more pride in the patriotism Of
his lineage than Judge Roane He is
veil verSed in his family history from
The earliest settlement of Ar.erica
down to the present time and it IS
indeed interesting and refreshing to
hear him talk OF his foreparents and
events. Judge Roane
Is an o%mnivorous reader and he for
gets very little that he reads. ,aer
are bat few who are posses. ed with
such a luxury Of detail Of the event
of the last half century as he, 4ni
10 hca1 him couple the men and
the events Of that eriod with those of
previous Years is Illuminating indeed.

1t is understood that Approximately 10000 men went from
Mississippi into the Army and Navy. Taking into consideration
that so many more white than colored, volunteered the ratio
will run about As per cent whites and 50 per cent colored. This
will mean that the colored men, most OF whom were laboreIs
and a large per cent farm laborers, will soon be ready for.
some kind of work and gives assurance that the labor situation
will be greatly relieved. In addition to the soldiers, a great
many, both whites and blacks, were lured away by the al
tractiVe wages offered at environments, munitlOn plants and
Navy yards. The 81 200 white men are dropping In home and
Will naturally drift back into former positions. Many OF these,
too, came from the farms. Taken all in all the labor situation

ONLY THOSE WHO HAVE FATTENED AND CRIED
"WOLE" HERETOFORE

Happily but few OF the newspapers III the state are taking
any interest as yet in the race for Governor. Those who have
fattened through the political perfdy Of the 50 called dominant
faction in the past few years and who have cried out "wolf'
whenever somebody not in line with them would offer for pub
Tic service, are tanning the air and trying to get something
doing" But nobody seems to be getting excited. These same
newspapers did everything they could to rebuke the admins
tration of Woodrow Wilson and to shame the boys who had
shOuldered their guns for their cOuntrys flag last summer, and
the people have not forgotten it. AS "the boys come home"
more and more Of the crowd who have played politics for a lv-
ing and who failed to show patriotic sympathy in a crucial hour,
will feel the ignOminy of what they did and will wish for the
mountains to fall upon them.

of the Department of Agriculture

"placed on the map" on account Of
t h e wonderful accomplishments
wrought agriculturally under Mr..
Turner's direction.
The Agricultural Department sent
pamphlets by the millions detailing
what had been done in Carroll coun-
ty. and urging other counties to adopt
similar methods of stimulating the
various phases of agriculture. Other
agents in the same State may have
accomplished as much as Mr.. Turner,
but if so they "hid their light under

know it. Mr.. Turner will be sue

THE HELPED

The women and the Christian ministry brought about pro-
hibition. Away back in the winter Of 1873 at Hi4lsboro, Ohio,
around an old log fire place was banded together a few women
under the leadership of Francis Willard. The slogan of these
women was to fight the saloon. From that beginning came the
w. c. T. U. This organization has continued to battle until
today Nationwide prohibition is a fact.
The whiskey interests aided in their own undoing. They
hastened the end that has come to them. 1t seemed that there
was hardly anything that the saloon interests would not do
Their perfdy and deviltry created new foes for them to crush
until an outraged sentiment said, thou shalt stop" There
probably would have been some middle ground but for the
saloon interests themselves.

OSCAR JOHNSTON ANNOUNCES OR GOVERNOR

The Sentinel publishes this week a brief statement from
Hon. Oscar Johnston. of Coahoma county as TO his candidacy tor
Governor. What Mr.. Johnston says mas the right ring about
it and certainly beats true to the patriotic spirit OF the hour.
He is an able man and if chosen Governor, The Sentinel
believes that he would do his dead level best to make the State
3 useful, constructive and faithful Executive.
Mr.. Johnston states that later he>eXpects to issue a more
formal declaration which will contain some OF his ideas as to
the needs of the commonwealth.
We are pleased to note that Mr.. Johnston indicates that
# the fires of partsanship as started in the campaign it will
have to be the work of somebody other than himself.
