tanned the money,
Mr.. Smith opened his shop, which IL

few minutes after O'clock. About ten
minutes later two well dressed young
men entered and asked for mfr. Smith"
The proprietor admitted his identity and
the two pulled pistols, which they point
ed at him, directing him to throw up
his hands.
At frat Mr., Smith took the matter as
n joke, so he said afterward, but was
informed by the intruders that If he did
not comply they would fill him full of
lead. One Of the thieves proceeded to go
through Mr.. Smiths pockets while the
second kept him covered with pistol
The thief who was rihing the propretor's
pockets happened to get between Mr..
Smith and his pal Selling the oppor-
trnity Mr.. Smith kicked the thief in

Harry Greenstein, an employee OF Mr.

thieves were leaving. Greenstein sensing
that something was wrong because OF
the apparent haste OF the two men, he
rushed upstairs and found his employer

Roads Close Case
For Rate Increase
4. &. {. Suspends Hearing
to June Z, When Ship
pers Open Examination

WASHINGTON, May 28-Railroads
Of the country to-day closed their case
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for increased freight rates ag-
gregating S1,01700O000 annually.
Further hearings were suspended by
the commission until June to give
shippers and state railway cosnmis-
sloners time TO prepare for cross eX-
animation of witnesses for the carriers.
During the hearings, which began
Monday, testimony was introduced by
the railroads to show that increased
income is needed Immediately if the
roads are to handle satisfactorily the
nations commerce, for otherwise gcv-
lief only can come in the form of in
creased rates or out of the treasury of
the United States, the carriers declared;
only the roads that are strongest
financially could borrow money, it was
stated, and then only at high rates Of
interest.
Efficient management and ultimate
saving in the operating expenses were
promised by the carriers. Saving
could not begin at once, they asserted,
because the roads were not returned 70
the owners in the same condition in
which they were when taken over by
the government. Added freight and
passenger service necessitating imme-
dlate expenditures and unsolved labor
problems also are delaying economies.
Rate increases asked do not include
the wage demands of the employees
under discussion by the Railroad Labor
Board, estimated at 81 900 100000.

Jewell Tells Board Limit
Is Reached and Unions
Will Not Hold Men if
Relief Is Not Prompt
Insists ON Gust Award''
Common Labor Minimum
Is Set at $4,000 Yearly;
Roads Figures Disputed

CHICAGO, May 28.-Officials of rail
road employees organizations not only
will feel compelled to refrain from try
ing to prevent the men from leaving
railroad service, but will acquicsce in
such action if taken, unless the Railway
Labor Board grants a prompt and just
wage increase. This testimony was
given before the board to-day by e. NJ
jawcll, acting president Of the Railroad
Shopmcn's Department.
Mr.. Jewell declared any award not
including minimum wage Of $500 q
year FOR common labor in the railroad
crafts, establishment of dfferentials,
taking into consideration the hazard,
experience and esponsiblity, and con
sderation by the Board of the National
Agreements made when the roads we're
under Federal control, would not be
considered Gust award"
Denies Issuing Ultimatum
Mr.. JEWELS demand for a prompt
and just" decision was a reiteration of
requests made by representatives. of all
other railway craft and elected a ques-
ton from Judge R. NJ. Barton, chair
man of the board, as to whether "labor
was issuing an ultimatum or trying to
dictate as to what decision should be
rendered."
Mr.. Jewell declared there was no in
tention Of issuing an ultimatum, but
that the employees wanted the board
to understand that a limit had been
reached and that unless fair increases
IN wages were granted the men the
situation might become beyond the CON
troll of the union executives.
Mr.. Jewell vigorously attacked the
roads for introducing statistics con-
inaccurate and placed the employees
in a false light" He also assailed the
testimony of f. T. Whittier, representing
the roads, that the national agree
ments entered into by the employees
and the Director General Of Railroads
should not be considered in che pres
ent hearing, but should come up under
separate docket. These agreements,
which deal largely with the right of
employees to organize, must be acted on
by the board at this hearing, he said.
Discusses Increases Granted
In regard to the statistics, Mr. Jewell
said:
"The roads included overtime in their
compilations. This is not a fair way
to figure a basic minimum wage Also,
they did not take into the consideration
that men work eight hours now instead
of ten. While the hourly rate appar-
emily has been greatly increased, the
men really are not receiving the big
increases over 1915 pay claimed by the
roads.
They point out that the man who re-
ceived 36.18 cents per hour for an
average day of 9A hours in 1918, or
1888 per day, has had an increase of
l03 per cent since then. He hasn't,
because he now receives 6988 per cent
per hour, but only works eight hours
and consequently receives $3.50 for the
day and not $7.16 as the roads claim.
The fact that in some cases men
have received increases greater than
the increase in the cost of living means
nothing, for in many cases they did
not originally receive an equitable
living wage"

Miners EUen Baked
At Baths, Says Allen

Governor Allen, in his debate
with Samuel Gompers, charged
that Kansas miners on several
occasions struck over trivial
causes. He said:
"When we were establishing by
state law the provision that
every operator should make a
suitable bath-house for the
miners some of the miners said:
1T won't do. You can't take
away from any man the inalien-
able right not to take a bath if
he doesn't want to-
"Well, they did use the baths.
They struck one day because
bath-house was too hot. They
struck another time because
bath-house was too cold"

Warned
Not 10 Hold Cars

W WASHINGTON, May %. - Shippers
were warned by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to-day that they
must cooperate with the railroads and
the government in breaking the freight
jam. The notice was served in the
form of an order directing five rail
roads entering Galveston to immedi-
ately unload 2,700 cars OF grain held
IN the yards there and to restore the
cars to service.
Although there was no official an
nouncement by the commission that if
would proceed along the same course
in other cities, such suggestions have
been made by railroad officials in OBJ
jections to the use of freight eouip-
ment for what they describe as public
warehouses" Conditions prevailing in
New-York tribune., 1920-05-29

Galveston, railroad officials said, are
duplicated in several other cities.
The railroads affected by the order
to-day were instructed to remove the
grain, said to be nearly all wheat, to
railroad or public warehouses wher-
ever accomm odation could be found,
The unloading and the storage will be
at the expense Of the owners Of the
shipments.
The commissions action also gave
indication that shippers who order
cars will be required to load them
promptly and that no delay will be toll
Grated on the part of the shipper
after the cars once are made available
to him. Railroads also have com
planned that the holding of cars was
not uncommon. adding to the conges-
tion in terminals.
