ANOTHER BILLION PUT
ON PUBL|C'S BURDEN
TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN PAY
GRANTED RAILROAD WORK
Frs BY WAGE BOARD.
FREIGHT RATES RAISED

Half Cent Mile Jump in Passenger
Fares Is Also Likely to Provide. An
other Part of the Revenue Made
Necessary by the Award.
The United States Railway Labor
Board has awarded the nearly 2,0OO,-
600 organized railway workers wage
increases totaling $600,000,000.
The increase amounts to approx
mately Fl per cent of the present rates
of pay.
i The board assumes as the basis of
this decision" the award says, "the
continuance in full force and effect of
the rules, working conditions and
agreements in force under the author
ity of the United States Railroad Adj
ministration The intent of this de-
cision is that the named increase ex-
cept as otherwise stated shall be add
ed to the rates of compensation estab-
lished by the United States Railroad
Administration.
Retroactive to May.
The award is retroactive to May l
of this year.
The decision of the board grants
/ to the railroad workers approximate
, ly sixty per cent of the billion dollar
increases which they sought.
Presidents of all the leading broth
erhoods and representatives of the
railroad managers were present when
| the decision was made public.
| Brotherhood officials made no at
tempt to conceal their disappointment
that they did not get all of the billion
dollar increase they asked. Whether
there will be nationwide strike only
! the future can tell.
The People Must Pay.
Railroad representatives accepted
the award philosophically, and immedi-
ately set about plans fer passing the
5000, 100000 addition to their wage
budget along to the ultimate consum
er-in this case the man who pays the
! freight. The interstate commerce
commission will be asked by railroad
executives to increase passenger fare:
one-half cent mile to provide par
| of the revenue needed to meet hlghe
wages.
At the prevalent 3-cent-a-mile rate
passenger revenues amount to 1,200,
0OO, 900 yearly. An increase of half 1
cent a mile would bring in approx
mately $2OO,000,O00.

DEMANDS THAT WARS
END Be PROCLAIMED
COURT ASKED TO DECLARE
PEAC7 RESOLUTION VALID.
DENIES WILSON'S VETO.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Harry S
Mccartney, Chicago lawyer in his ca
pacity as taxpayer, filed suit in the
District Supreme court on Saturday
to compel Secretary of State Colby i'm
mediately to promulgate the joint res
olution of congress declaring at end
the state of war with Germany.
Mr.. Mccartney based his suit on
the ground that the president had no
veto power over a joint resolution.
The peace resolution has been law.
the plaintiff contended, since its pas
sage on May 81. Harry j. Bryan,
identified as "editor of laws" of the
state department, also was made de-
PENDANT on the ground that the actual
publication of all laws was his duty.
Failure of the defendants to publish
the alleged law, Mr.. Mccartney claim
ed, has resulted in confused condi-
ton which is potent with national
peril to the public comfort and morale
and the normal pursuit of patriotic
ideals of the people of the United
States.
Trade also has been adversely af-
fected, it was alleged, the resulting
loss reaching every American house
hold.

HE WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT LOBBYISTS
MOVE OF RANDOLPH THINKS
THEY ARE ACTIVE AMONG
THE LEGISLATORS

Mr.. Moye, of Randolph, and Mr.. Gull
pepper, of Fayette, have introduced in
the house a privilege resolution asking
for information regarding lobbyists
who are said to be active among the
members of both the house and SEN
ate. Action on the resolution was de-
ferred.
The resolution stated that there was
considerable lobbying going on in the
house at present and declared that an
investigation should be made in order
to ascertain how many of the active
lobbyists had registered with the sec
rotary of state and paid the requisite
fee. 1t also carried instructions to
the secretary of state to submit the
names of all the registered lobbyists
with the amount of money derived
from fees since the adjournment OF
the last session. The resolution was
held over for one day in accordance
with rules relative to all legislation
requesting information from the exec
utive department.

LONGEVITY
Surgeon Urges Breeding of Mon
keys to Get Glands for Operations
to Lengthen Life.

NEW Notwithstanding that
his operation of transferring mon
key glands to human beings would
add 70 years to normal lives, DR..
Serge Voronoff, Paris surgeon, on
Monday urged the establishment
Of large farms here for the breed
ing of Simians.
Several operations on French
men have been entirely successful,
DR.. Voronoff said, and one of his
patients is now heading an expedi-
ton into the Congo to obtain
chimpanzees for a farm in France.
The purpose of his trip to the
United States, the surgeon said,
is to try an experiment, in which
the interstitial glands of a per-
son, who dies suddenly, will be
transferred to someone in need of
restored vitality. He explained
that this could not be done in
France, because of a law prohib-
iting mn Slation of corpses.

KNIPLOW, PET OF TENNESSEE
TROOPER WILL RECEIVE $3.50
MONTHLY ALL HIS LIFE.

Kniplow is a horse, and the only
one, so far as is known. who is the
beneficiary of war risk insurance
policy of $4,000.
His old master, Harry K. Thurman,
of Memphis, TenI.., who died in France
in the world war, took out a $4,000
nolicy. making it payable for the
horse during its life. The soldiers
aunt was to administer the money, the
balance at the death of the horse to
go to her. Thurman was gassed dur
ing the closing days of the war, and
died in a hospital near the front. Thus
the horse draws $3.50 monthly.
Shortly before this country's entry
into the war young Thurman was q
motion picture actor and used Knip-
low in his work. When he went. into
the first draft he tried to keep the
horse near him in Memphis. This
was difficult, and upon his departure
for r. the other side Thurman shipped
the horse to his aunt, Mrs. Mary

CALLS BOGII2 WI
SCARE PURE Bum
ALBANIAN SAYS TWO-THIRDS
OF DAMAGE CHARGED TO
PEST is IMAGINATION.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-About two
thirds of the damage done the cotton
crop annually that is blamed on the
boil weevil is pure bunk, imagination
and attributable to other causes, and
only one-third is really boil weevil de-
struction, according to George N.
Watson, a cotton man of Montgomery
Ala, who is in Washington on bust
ness.
"The annual boil weevil scare is in
full swing in the Southern States, and,
in my opinion, at least two-thirds of
the scare is pure bunk" said Mr.. Wat
son. 81 have been travelling over the
south for the past few weeks and have
heard time and again that the boil
weevil was ravaging certain districts,
only to find on further investigation
that there was no sign of the weevll
in that section.
Cotton farmers are too prone to
lay their troubles to the boil weevil,
when in reality in nine-tenths of the
cases the trouble is due to improper
or insufficient fertilization, poor
planting, inferior seed or some other
equally sufficient cause, which the
farmer might have remedied had ne
studied the situation before planting.
"At that, the boil weevil must not
be taken lightly. He has been a very
potent factor in reducing the cotton
crop on several occasions, and where
he really appears the farmers lose,
and lose heavily"

The 1920 census has brought be-
fore congress a problem that has con-
fronted the body every ten years
since 1890. The matter of discus
sion is whether not the membership
of the house of representatives
shall be enlarged in proportion to the
increase in population as shown by
the new count of heads in the United
States.
In every instance since 1890, ex-
cept after the 1910 census, the men,
bership has increased. In that year
the number of representatives was re-
duced from 242 to 232. Following
the 1910 census Al new members
were added. making the present mem
bership 435,
Increase in 80 States
The increase in population indicat-
ed by the census returns thus far
computed, it is estimated, will re-
ouire the addition of SO members
from 80 states, if the present figures
of 211,430 residents for each con-
gressional district are retained. This
increase would bring the total mem
bership of the house up to 504. The

FOR PRESIDENT. THIRD CAM
DIDATE FROM OHIO.

LINCOLN, Neb.-Following the
refusal of William J. Bryan to accept
the prohibition party's nomination
for president, the national convention

vice presidential candidate on the
prohibition ticket in 1908 and 1912.
Bryan Undecided About Vote
In his telegram to the convention
declining the nomination Mr.. Bryan
said
"My connection with other reforms
would make it impossible for me to
focus nv attention upon the prohibi-
ton question alone, and besides am
not willing to sever my connection
with the democratic party, which has
so signally honored me in years past;
81 have not decided yet how shall
vote this fall, but whatever | may
feel it my duty to do in this cam
paign, expect to continue as mem
Der of the democratic party and TO
serve my country through it"

Bryan's brother, Charles Bryan, at
Lincoln.

HALT BOIL WORM
WITH QUARANTINE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
ORDERS SEGREGATION IN
LOUISIANA AND TEXAS.

WASHINGTON.-In an effort to
curb the spread of the pink boil worm
in the cotton belt, the department of
agriculture today authorized quar-
antine, effective August 1, which will
be applicable to areas in Louisiana
and Texas known to be infested or
suspected of possible infestation. State
authorities will cooperate in enforc-
ing the quarantine, it was stated.
"'The growing crop must be under
the full control of state authorities, "
the department of agriculture's an
nouncement said, ain cooperation with
federal authorities, who may inspect
fields as often as necessary and may
require prompt destruction of any cot
ton in fields that are found to be in
tested"
Cotton Seed Control.
Enforcement of the quarantine reg
ulations will include, the department
said, control over all cotton seed
grown in the quarantine areas. State
and federal authorities are instructed
to forbid the use of planting of seed
from such districts, and to require its
prompt milling within the statas.and
if possible, within the infested or reg
ulated area where it is grown.
All cotton seed mills are to be dis
| infected at the mills, quarantine regu-
lations provide. All forms of lint cot
ton also are placed under joint control
of state and federal authorities.
Cotton from the quarantine area OF
Louisiana must go out through the
port of New Orleans, and that from
Texas districts must pass through the
ports Of either Galveston, Houston,
Texas City or Port Arthur.
Other Requirements.
The new regulations provide that
shipments out of these states can be
made only through these ports. Re-
ouirement also is made that such ship
ments, if they re-enter the United
States, must come by all-water route
through New York, Boston or some
other northern port designated in per-
mits, and on entering such ports must
be treated as foreign cotton.
Distinction of cars and boats used
for shipment of cotton from infested
areas also is required.

WEALTH WAITS
Farm Hand Refuses to Leave
Tasks While Men Are Scarce
to Go and Claim 100000.

BOSTON.-David Nicoll Cant,
81 years old and bachelor, work.
ing for a farmer in Boylston,
Mass, who has been notified that
he shares in the $3,000,000 estate
left by his father in Scotland, is
just about the coolest and most
collected individual in Boylston.
David has been in this country
some twenty years, nine of which
he has put in farming, so is not
easily excited. All Boylston look
ed to David to pack up and start
for Scotland Immediately. But
David couldn't see it that way.
He had hired out to Farmer Stark,
and if ever his boss needed a hired
hand it is just now.
David declares he will see his
boss through the haying season
anyway, then he will pack up and
start for the homeland.
David's father was a wholesale
liquor dealer.
