RAILWAYS HANDLE MORE
FREIGHT THAN IN 1919

For the first time since the rail-
ways were returned to private opera
tion," says the Railway Age, sit is
possible this week to give statistics
regarding the amount of freight han
died for a considerable period by all
the large railways in the country. Sta
tistics regarding freight movement
which we have published in recent is
sues have not included the returns
from the Pennsylvania and a few other
large systems. Figures now available,
which are based on reports made by
all the larger railways to the Com
mission on Car Service, show that in
the week ended June 10 the number of
cars of revenue freight loaded was
869, ,140, as compared with S07,907 in
the same week of 1919. In. the week
ended June 26, the number Of cars Of
revenue freight loaded was 869,350, as
compared with 845,6S4 in the same
week of last year. In the four weeks
ended June 26 the total number of
with 3,237 .406 in the corresponding
weeks of 1919.
"The newspapers are full of reports
regarding industries that are oper-
ating at much less than their maxi
mum capacity or are on the verge OF
having to close down, because of the
inability of the railways to handle all
the traffic offered to them. In spite of
strikes and other troubles the railways
almost continuously in the year 1920
have been moving more freight than in
1919

DEMOCRATIC CONFER
ENCE WAS HARMONIOUS
AND ENTHUSIASTIC

| The Democratic state conference
| held last Wednesday in the Plankintor
| Auditorium, Milwaukee, was as har-
| monious and enthusiastic a meeting as
Wisconsin Democrats have had il
years, and left delegates with much
| confidence in the coming election. One
of the biggest features of the event
was the unanimous endorsement of
DR.. Paul S. Reinsch, formerly profess
sor of political science at the Univer-
| sity of Wisconsin, and who is well
known throughout the state and has
been lately quoted extensively in re-
gard to the Far East, for the Demo
cratic nomination for United States
| Senator. The endorsement came after
Joseph E. Davies, Democratic candi-
date in 1918, had withdrawn his name
requesting the unanimous endorsement
| of DR.. Reinsch.
Karl Mathie of this city was mentin-
| ed prominently as a possible candi-
date for secretary of state, and it was
not because Mr.. Mathie would not
have suited Wisconsin Democrats that
he was not selected. According to one
of the local delegates, it was feared
| Mr. Mathie would not accept and be-
cause of his trip, could not be reached
Immediately.
OF the three proposed nominees Col.
Robert B. Mccoy of Sparta, was by far
| the most prominent. Mr.. Mccoy was
non-committent on the eighteenth
amendment which did receive some at
tention. Mayor Bently of La Crosse,
on the other hand, was insistent that
tho nQnnla rnnniun IN
express themselves on this issue
John W. Hogan of Cumberland, inter-
ested from the dry standpoint was
equally as insistent that the people be
given an opportunity to express them
selves, and announced that if the Ii
quOr question was not an issue in the
primary, where, he said, it should be,
he would enter the race to make the
liquor question an ISSUE
Messrs. Davies, Martin and, Hume
urged the necessity of having COM
plete county tickets in each county.
Leon P. Pasternacki of Stevens Point,
was endorsed as the Democratic con-
gressional candidate from the eighth
district.
The endorsement of the convention
was given to the following men:
U. S. Senator-Dr. Paul Reinsch,
Madison.
Governor-Col Robert B. Mccoy,
Sparta; Mayor A. A. Bently, La Crosse.
Lieutenant Goyernor-Fred S. Hunt,

TO HOLD FOR OPEN
SHOP IN NEW LABOR
TIEUP IN THIS CITY

The struggle to maintain an "open
shop" policy In Wausau became inten-
sified last Thursday when, it is report
ed, union men reyolted against work
ing with non-union men on a number
of construction jobs which were under
way. When non-union men found
themselves unable to work because OF
the organized building trades Objec-
tion, it is said, they applied for mem
bership in the local bodies but were
refused because their employers do
not maintain a closed shop. The sit
uation affected electrical workers,
The Pilot is informed. These men, re-
fused permission to work either as
union or non-union men, it is said,
then commenced work on houses de-
spite the situation, which Immediately
precipitated a walkout of organized
employees.
The result has been a general tie
up in the building trades.
Master builders, contractors and
supply men, including retail lumber
men, met Thursday evening, defining
their position. A definite open shop
policy was avowed and it was voted to
discontinue all construction work save
that of public character until sat
isfactory open shop policy can be eff
fected in an adjustment. The master
builders and contractors do not de-
sire any discrimination. The question
is it said, is not one of belonging to a
union, to which there is no objection,
but the attitude that makes impros-
sible the hiring of a man who is not
a union member
The open shop organization, it is
reported, will support the master
builders, contractors and supply men
TO the end.

MINIMUM WAGE HEARS
LITTLE COMPLAINT

The Industrial Commission has sent
out the following:
Minimum wage laws are now in op-
peration in IA states and in the Dis
trict of Columbia and in practically all
foreign countries. The idea behind
these laws is that "a laborer Is worthy
of his hire" Every woman who puts
in an honest day of work should be
paid enough to support herself in
reasonable decency and comfort, at
least after the learning period.
This has been a requirement of law
in this state since 1913. Not until
1919, however, was a determination
made of what is the living wage.
This law applies to all employees Of
women and minors. in every occupa-
ton. The minimum rate which may
be paid to every adult woman or to
every minor over II years of age is
Is cents per hour during the first
three months of employment Is grant
ed unless there is genuine handicap
and unless the rates paid are ade-
quate to enable all employees who are
not handicapped to earn at least the
minimum wage.
Employers very generally have ac-
cepted this law without complaint. AT
present prices; % cents per hour is
not desirable wage, but only min
imum living wage. Most women and
minor employees in the state are and
should be well above this minimum.
Nor is this wage based upon Milwau-
kee prices, but rather upon conditions
| in the small towns.
| 1t is true that only 25 per cent of
| the women employees in Wisconsin live
away. from home. Most of the other
Is per cent, however, must contribute
to the family treasury at least enough
for their maintenance.
| 1t is recognized also that in many
occupations an employee cannot be-
come truly efficient in six months
After six months, however, every en-
ploye, who is at all suited for the
work should be able to earn enough te
lsupport herself.
| The Wisconsin minimum wage Law
is reasonable and it's requirements are
much less stringent than those of the
laws of other states. Every person
who employs any woman or minol
should become thoroughly familiar
with this law and should not fail II
