by the Graham Congressional Com
mittee which investigated the s67,-

II Is held by Republican members

This view OF the matter is taken by
Secretary Baker. who has asked an
additional appropriation OF sl2,5O0, 900
TO equip fully the plant for the manu-
facture OF commercial nitrates for use

men THREATEN STRIKE
UNLESS PAY IS RAISED

CHICAGO. May IA nationwide
break down OF railroad transportation
will soon confront the nation unless
the new Federal railway board, which
began its final sessions here today,
decides to grant wage raise to rail-
way workers throughout the coun-
try, 1t was declared in a formal state
ment issued by the chiefs of the big
railroad brotherhoods. made public
today.
1t was reported that the officials OF
number OF leading railroads concur
with the labor leaders in their opin-
ions. and have given their approval
to the statement.
The brotherhood chiefs. according
to the statement. believe that the
railway board should fix the salaries
OF the rail workers at from S1,700 to
$4,000 a year, which would represent
an increase of approximately $1,000
900. 900 for the two million railroad
employees throughout the country.
In effect the statement represents
the threat of general railroad
strike in the United States, pointing
out that thousands OF employees have
quit the transportation service to find
more lucrative employment elsewhere,
and that railroad travel actually has
become hazardous because of a lack
of men on nearly all roads.

Congressional Appropriations
At Conference.

DIES MONIES. Iowa, May ia
Congressional appropriation of $500
000, 900 for the relief of starving ma
tions in eastern Europe was urged
today by Henry +. Davidson, chair
man of the board of directors of the
League of Red Cross Societies, in an
address TO the general conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. He
declared the American Government
must take definite action to prevent
the pcStIlenCc now raging in deyas-
tated Europe from spreading to this
country.
The reports which come to us
make it clear that in these war-rav-
aged lands civilization has broken
down said Dawson. Disease, be-
reavement. and suffering are present
| in practically every household, while
, food and clothing are insufficient to
make life tOlcrsble.
Says Thousands Arc Dying.
Men, women, and children are dy-
ing by thousands, and over vast
once e-ciyiltzcd areas there are to be
found neither medical appliances nor
medical skill sufficient TO cope with
the devastating plaques"
Poland is threatened with whole
sale starvation this summer, he said,
while typhus Cpidemics are raging in
Poland. GaliCla, Ukraine, Austria,
Czecho-Slovakia. Serbia. and Monte
negro.
You can no more rcnounce the
tribulatioEs OF these stricken people
than you could escape the consc-
quenccs of the war;" he continued.
"One-half the world may not eat
while the other half starves. How
| long do you believe the plague OF
typhus that is taking a hideous death
| toll in Esthonia and Poland and the
Ukraine and eating along the fringes
of Germany and CZecho-Slovakia will
| contine itself to the remote lands =?
1t is a parasitic disease, and IL not
| throttled may spill into the western
| countries of Europe and creep to our
own shores.
Worlds Ill VIII.
This is one menace at our thrcs-
! hold. The other, more threatening,
| more terrible, is the menace of the
| worlds will. We can afford to die.
| But to be despised for ever as a
| greedy and pharisaical nation is a
| fate that we must not incur
Mr.. Dawson said there were only
three ways by which the stricken
lands may obtain supplies from the
| outside world.
''One is by payment, one by credit,
and the third by exchange of COM
modities. 1t is clear that they can
not give us gold for the things they
need, nor have they either products
or securities to offer in return for
| credit" he added
Accordingly, I would ask that

purchasers OF mems clothing who
have protested against the fantastic
price jumps have been met inevitably
with the explanation that, as labor
was dems snding a higher wage scale
the cost TO the consumer necessarily
had 10 be advanced. or course, II was
reasonable to reflect increased isoor
costs In the price, but II was GRIM
lnal on the part OF manufacturers ana
retailers TO make wage advances the
excuse for deliberate, merciless goug-
ing. For "A manufacturer In any line
OF Industry TO charge the consumer a
dollar for a wage advance OF twenty
cents TO labor is becoming an alto

approximate five times those taken In
1910, while the garment msnufsctur-
ers' profits at the present time are

The largest wooden manufacturing
corporation in America, said the re-
port. increased its annual net income
from an average of 81 100000 In the
pre-war years to an annual average
OF nearly s9,00O,Oo0 during l9lO-ls.
One nationally known clothing

known In the country, increased us
profits from an average OF sso9.2l9 In
1924 to 81 ,593 in l9l6-ls, and
81 20O,2l9 in 1919.

1910 in every operation from manu-
featuring the wool colth down to the
sale of the finished suit TO the con-
sumner.
Wool jumped from s2.o3 to $500 or
l9l per cent; labor in cloth manuiac
turing from 1856 to s38s, or l39 per

$2l6, or $50 per cent; the mill proht
from 23 cents to $l.07, or 365 per cent

CUSTOM SCORED
Episcopal Minister Fears Split
II Democracy Is Not
Lived Up To.

NEW YORK, May 1I.-Alsrm for
the future of the Protestant Episcopal
Church was expressed yesterday by
the Rev. DR.. Percy Stickney Grant. at
the Church OF Ascension. He feared
that the church would "alienete itself
from the American people and
eventually become the Church OF a
small, rich. democracy-fearing class. "
The elements of possible secession
were outlined by DR.. Grant as the
present antagonism between the high
and low church, usurpation of author.
ity. the attraction OF community
churches and lack of progress OF the
church.
He added:
"In America today the bishops OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church are
reaching for more authority. In the
Middle West this takes the form of a
desire to dictate TO the parishes. In
other dioceses 1t takes the form OF
opposition to democratic methods OF
procedure and to democratic ideas"
He referred to the custom of call
ing Episcopslian bishops "my lord
in England. and stated that the "Brit-
ish social system was still a menace
to American democracy"
The rector then said he believed
the more rigorous of the clergy would
organize their parishes into com
munity churches or leave the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church and establish
such churches. He declared he was
unable to recall any progressive leg
islation Of that church. He defended
the Forum which meets in his church
and advocated that others than the
! clergy should preach from the pulpit
He concluded:
THE lifelessness and seIf-satisfac-
| ton is driving some of the more
humanitarian clergy out OF the
ministry"

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION
OF ALL INDUSTRY URGED

BOSTON. May 1T.-An entire shut
of the country or periodic layoffs of
workmen has been recommended to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
as the only solution of the railroad
| freight collapse by the railroad ex-
ecutiveS of the country, according TO
! the office OF William II. Chandler,
manager of the Boston chamber OF
| commerce industrial bureau and
president of the national traffic
| league, consisting of 10000 members.
The shutdowns or layoffs. It was
stated today. would give the railroads

| tion.
The freight tieup II keenly felt in
New England industries. since the
| beginning of the trouble preference
has been given to food products. The
| amount OF food coming over the roads
10 New England is normal. while the
shipments of manufactured articles
and raw materials necessary for in

are hundreds of untitled jobs in all

Railroad officials said today that
there were between 10000 end 100,0 900
freight cars loaded with shoes and
other New England products on the
