Labor Board To Grant Half Of
Mems Demands According
To Advance Report.
STRIKE| IS NOT UNLIKELY
Union Leaders Have No Hesitancy In
Saying That Decision May Not BE
Satisfactory-Advance Amounts
to $780, 900.

Of nationwide railway strike has
been laid by the $500, 100000 wage
Increase granted to more than
100000 railroad employees re-
mains undecided.
"There will be no illegal, outlaw,
rebel, sporadic or immediate rail-
road strike," w. G. Lee, president
Of the brotherhood of railway
trainmen, said. "Whether the
railroad wage award Is accepted
or rejected the union action will
be concerted and deliberate"
Chfcago-The Railway Labor board,
created under the Esch- Cummins
transportation act, will hand down at
once it's first award increasing the pay
of virtually all the 100000 railroad
employees Of the country.
On the eve of the decision, reports
from reliable quarters indicated the
award would average between so to
60 per cent of the amount asked by the
men or between $500,000,000 and
$500, 100000 of the billion dollar total
they sought.
Judge r. M. Barton, chairman Of the
board, admitted that is not far OFF,
when shown the report.
No Hint as to Attitude Of Men.
Whether an award on the basis re-
ported would be acceptable to the men,
no union officer was prepared to say.
Nearly 1000 brotherhood chairmen
and executives held an all day ses-
sion to discuss union affairs and ad-
journed to receive the boards report.
feeling Of pessimism was evident
when the union leaders met and pri-
vately they did not hesitate to declare
that general strike was possibility.
However, it was virtually certain that
the union chiefs themselves would not
call a strike but would submit the
question of accepting or rejecting the
boards award to a referendum.
The most closely watched confer
ence of railroad leaders was that of
the big Five" group comprising the
brotherhoods Of railway engineers,
firemen, conductors, trainmen and
switchmen. Representatives of the
six federated shop crafts, including
the blacksmiths, boilermakers, car
penters, and electricians also were in
session, while leaders of the mainte-
nance employees, clerks, freight hand
lers and laborers met in several con-
ferences In downtown hotels.
There is nothing to be said yet,"
said Warren Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engine
men. I'VE are here to receive the
award of the Railroad Wage board.
None of us know what the award will
be. We are talking things over
Grand Council to Meet.
Immediately upon the announcement
of the award the grand council of the
brotherhoods will be called 1t will be
the first session in more than a year.
Sixteen groups of rail workers will be
represented, and they will act upon
the award section by section. How
long the session will last is problemati-
cal, leaders said.

FEWER HORSES
in MICHIGAN
Autos. Trucks and Tractors Dis
placing Horses on the Farms
of Michigan

Tho amount of each kind of live
stock, except horses and mules on
the farms of Michigan was greater
than that of one year ago, accoro-
ING to the results obtained from
recent inquiry addressed to farm
ers. live stock breeders, live STOCK
feeders. live stock shippers, dairy
men and others, by Coleman Y;
Vaughan, secretary of state and
Verne H. Church, field agent, O.o'
bureau of crop estimates.
The value of all stock on the
farms of the state on that date
was S236, ,231,O00. or $8,402,OOO
more than last year. Mich cows
and other cattle have increased In
value per head during the year put
all other live stock declined, the
decrease in the price of horses be-
ing greatest. ,.
Motive power furnished by auto
mobiles. trucks and tractors is
gradually displacing the horse pop
ulation, the decrease during the
past year being three per cent or
10000 head.
There is a fair demand for first
class draft horses, but the cheaper
grades are a drug on the market
and in some sections almost un-
salable. The average price has
dropped from $139 in 1914 and
SI05 one year ago to $95 on Jan
uary 1, 1920. The estimated total
number is $4,000 and the value,
S60,S00,000.
Mules are comparatively few IN
number and the number is not
changing materially. The total es-
timated number is 1000 and the
valuation $396,000.
Mich cows show an increase of
three per cent, and total num-
ber of $4,000. They have been in
good demand throughout the year
and are bringing on the average,
500 per head, an increase of about
16 per cent over one year ago.
The total value is $63, 3,808,000.
Other cattle have also increased
both in numbers and value; the
gain in the former being three per
cent, and the latter 10 per cent.
The total number is placed at 773-
900 and the total value at $33, ,084,-
600. The combined value of milch
cows and other cattle is nearly
equal to that of all other live stock
in the state.
Sheep have continued to gain in
numbers, although more slowly
than in the previous year. The es-
timated number is 2,224,00 which
at the average price Of $11.80 per
head gives total value. of $780,
243,000. The value is zoe per head
less than one year ago. The gain
in numbers was mainly in the
northern half of the state, as some
southern localities report a de-
crease.
There was a marked increase in
the number of swine. A good corn
crop was one of the principal fac
tors. The average value per head
is $1,000 as compared with $23.00
last year. The estimated number
is 1,450,000 and the value $751;
100000.

Cured suddenly Thursday at his
home in Detroit, where his resi-
dence has been for the past few
years. Heart failure is said to be
the direct cause of his death.

then of the Flint district.
He left the Flint district to take
the secretaryship, two years ago,

ment Fund, with headquarters in
Detroit. The Detroit conference of
the Methodist church had pledged
an endowment fund of approx
mately $1,000,000 for the care of
superanuated Methodist ministers
and it was to the business inter-
ests of this fund that Mr.. Baldwin
had devoted himself the past two
years.
He died Thursday at his resi-
