HAIC HITS UNIONS FOR
: BARRING EX-SOLDIERS

LONDON, July 15--Field Marshal
Lord Haig has denounced what
he terms the selfish obstinacy" of
the British trades unions who refuse
to open their ranks to the returned
soldiers, thousands OF whom are job
less.
81 can see no more serious setback
to the development of trades union
ism throughout the world than the
triumph of those principles against
which we fought for nearly five years
in France" he said.
"It is the turn. of employers and
trades unions for sacrifice. The ex-
service men already have made theirs.
The inability of the ex-soldier to earn
the full trade union wage is due to the
fact that some of the best years of
his life were given at the risk of life
itself fighting for his country ard
thereby fighting for the very princi-
pies and existence of these trade
unions"
Even Lloyd George has endeavored
to open the ranks of building trades
unions so that the nations housing
program might be speeded up, but he
has had no success. Bricklayers, ma
sons, plasterers, painters-all refuse
to open up their ranks, saying 1t will
dilute" the labor market and thereby
result in a lowered wage scale. Lord
Haig says the evidence shows the
unions are more to blame than en-
blowers many of whom genuinely
have endeavored to give exserv &c
men work, but have been blocked.
"There are still too many thousands
of ex-service men who are today
fighting the hardest battle of their
life in the endeavor to find work
which would keep themselves. their
wives and their families from abso-
lutte starvation" the Field Marshal
declared.

tial than fulsome blessings and pious

MEXICO T0PAY ALL
DAMAGE CLAIMS
New Government Intends to
Settle Every Debt Lodged
BY Foreigners.
by OSCAR X. COLL.

MEXICO CITY, July I5.-"It Is the
earnest and sincere intention or the
new government to establish as soon
as possible an international commits
sion to consider and liquidate the
many damage claims lodged by Tor
eigners for damages incurred during
the perennial revolution since 1870
declared a responsible Mexican treas
ury official in an exclusive inter-
view with the writer, while discus
sing Mexico's future attitude toward
all foreigners resident in the republic.
AT the time that the Carranza
crowd fed from the capital a total of
37S claims had been filed with the
commission for the regulation OF
revolutionary damage claims, the
same calling for the payment or
"a. .s62 sos pesos. OF which number 13s
claims were presented by foreigners
and 24O by Mexican citizens.
"The foregoing number OF claims,
however by no means covers the dam
age. which the government must
eventually meet because of depreda- :
tions committed during the rev.
olutionary period, because of the fact
that by far the larger number of
claims have been filed directly in
Washington and other foreign CEN
ters." continued the treasury official,
"and Of which, at this time. we have
no record"
The greatest number of claims filed
by any one nationality is credited to
the Spaniards, who head the list with
forty-eight claims, aggregatlng more
than 100000 pesos. The Turks
come next with 21 claims calling for
more than 100000 pesos. The next
highest is % claims lodged by Ger
mans. declaring to have been dam
aged in the sum of 100000. pesos,
while the records reveal the Startling
fact that but 10 claims have been
filed by Americans seeking damages
for but little more than 500. 900 pesos.

RAIL AWARDS
/. DUE TUESDAY
No Intimation Yet As to Scope
of Labor Boards Wage
Determination.

Information reaching Washington
today Is that the railroad labor board
now meeting in Chicago to determine
how much advance will be made In
the wages OF railroad employees VIII
make its decision next Tuesday.
This information, which IL under
stood TO have come from more or
less authoritative source, was followed
by, the opinion that the Interstate
Commerce Commission VIII not an
nounce any decision In the rates case,
involving a general increase In freight
rates and possibly Of passenger rates.
until shortly after the wage board
has determined what additional imam
cial burdens viii be put upon the
railroads.
SIX MONTHS DEFICIT.
Not the slightest intimation has
come as yet as to the scope or either
decision. but that the rate advance
will be in the neighborhood OF that
requested by the railroads Is tho I'M
preston gained hare, and the raii-
roads asked an average increase the
country over OF approximately 70 per
cent.
A. an indication of the financial
difficulties and the tremendous strug-
gle being made by the railroads. re-
yised estimates made today by Juiius
H. Parmalee, director OF the Bureau
OF Railway Economics, showed tina.
the Government Will lose approx
mately $500, ,O0O, 900 as result or nav
ing extended the Government guar
antee period for six months after the
return OF the roads to private control
This amount is far in excess or the
total loss which Congress estimated
the Government would sustain.
The deficit for the first three
months OF the guarantee per,ou,
March, April and May, is now said
to be s2I7 900 900, while the most
conservative estimates for the months
of June, July and August AK the total
loss during those three months AT
x75 OOO, 900, making in all a total loss
of S292 100000. And, without DOUBT,
the estimate for June. July ana AgS-
ust is a very optimistic one, so that
1t is generally believed the total Will
be in excess OF $500, 100000
Very recently Mr.. Parmalee SAID the
loss for May would amount to at last
SOS. 900, 900, but the figures developed
by him today showed that 1t really
was in excess of S66.O0O,OOO.
The guarantee from the Govern
ment is for 5000, 100000 year or
$3.50, 600 900 for six months. This
would make the guarantee for each
month s75,00OOO0.
In. March the railroads earned ap-
proximately S13.7OO,OOO. In April,
due greatly to the railroad strike,
there was a deficit of S14,26O,oOo and
the earnings for May were approx
mately $500 900. The total earnings
for the three months amounted to
only S7.s4O,OOO. or S217,06O,0OO less
than the Government guarantee OF
S225 ,OOO.OOO for the three months.
This Is net loss to the Government
OF S216.O6O.OOO.
Looking forward to the increases
in freight rates, the railroad chiefs
see little hope, for the increases can
not be retroactive and only about six
weeks OF the guarantee period re-
main in which the rates would be
operative to reduce the Government
losses.

The one hundredth anniversary of the

celebrated in Colorado Springs on

be held at the summit and along the
automobile highway that climbs
eighteen miles over serpcntine
route to the top, 14,109 feet above sea
level.

Pixies Peak in 1906. he never scaled
the mountain. branding the task as
impossible for a human being. But

Since then 1000. 600 people have Wis
tied the summit, IL is estimated: the
crowds of tourists in the last TWEEN
ty-five years forming the bulk. In
1878 a bride path was built: wagon
road to the summit was built in 1880
and in 1891 the cog wheel railroad
nine miles long, was built. Burros
were used also at that time.
In 1916 the present automobile road
was built at a cost of 100000 after
two years of construction work and
many difficulties, especially in Sc
curing labor. This road Is eighteen
miles long, rises 6,695 feet in that
distance, has an average grade of Z

1917 per cent, with AZ per cent of the
line in curves. 1t is twenty feet wide

In April, 1919, a Government war
tank attempted to climb the peak
over the automobile highway, but
could not get over the deep snow
drifts: however. a month later a cat
erpillar, used for artillery hauling,
made the summit without difficulty.
On August 3. 1910, an aeroplane, pi-
loted by Alexander Lendrum. of Colo
RADIO Springs, made a successful trip
over the summit OF the peak.
Pixies Peak is eight miles in an
airline from Colorado Springs and the
greater part of the mountain Is con-
trolled by the City OF Colorado
Springs for its watershed.
walking races, burro races, and mo-
torcycle races have been made for
the top, and many noted race. drivers,
including Ralph Mulford, Barney Old

the automobile races in 1915. Mulford
made the best time for the twelve
mile course from Crystal Crock to
