The hum of the 100000 motors

have been compiled by the research
department of the Commonwealth Mo-

For the month of May gasoline
production was 3S1,O79.2sl gallons.
This is the highest yield on record.

Washington. July 20.-(By A. p. -
Immediately upcn receipt Of the an
nouncement of the railroad labor boards
wage award, railway executives here
went into conference today to frame
their recommendations to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for advances in
rates to meet the added expense OF
5000 ,000. 900 to the carriers. 1f
The commission now has under con-
sideration the application of the car
riers for freight rate increases to pro-
vide an added income of 81 OH 900 900
annually, but these increases do not
take into account any wage advances.

WHAT BROTHERHOOD
MEN HAVE DEMANDED

Washington, July 20.-(By A. P.)
Demands for substantial wage in
creases for nearly all classes of the p
900 900 railroad employees have been
pending since late last summer. These
demands, first presented at different
times to the railroad administration S
board on wages and working conditions,
were unsettled when government opera
ton of the railroads was ended, and,
in turn. referred to the railroad labor
board, which was created under the
transportation act.
Some few of the classes of organized
employees have not pressed formal de-
mands, but have insisted that their
wages be increased IL advances were
granted other related classes of work.

the Esch .Cummins transportation act,
under which the railroads were re-
turned to private management on March
/ of this year.
The board was appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson, with Judge X. Nj. Barton,
of Tennessee, chairman. There was
some delay in making the appointments,
after the transportation bill went into
effect. On April 1 dissatisfaction OF
the men with the delay was manitested
in Chicago when the Chicago fardmen s
Association, branded by the old estap-
lished unions as an 'outlaw, called a
strike, which rapidly spread to nearly
every section Of the country.
The President was urged to speed up
selection of the board in an effort to
halt the strike. The board appointed
April 13 met in Washington and later
transferred its hearings to Chicago.
The striking railroad men endeavored
to present their grievances here, but
we're denied hearing, the board rulinl
that the men should return to theil
recognized brotherhoods and refusing tc
treat with any other unions.

Interest In Captain Burton


Interest in today's race clung not
only to whether Resolute or Shamrock
w won. but to whether Captain Burton
aboard the Upton craft would make
showing that would warrant Sir Thomas
keeping him in command OF the chal''
lenger.
Dissatisfaction was reported to have
run high among the Upton forces after
Saturdays contest, which was called
off when Resoute. although showing
her heels to the British sloop, had been
unable to cross the finish line within
the six hour time limit.
With the score to 0 in favor of
Shamrock, because of withdrawal of
the American sloop in the first race after
her mainsail had fallen almost to the
deck, the crew Of Resolute were conf
dent today that they would be able to
win three out of five races and keep
the cup in this country. From the
other camp came word that Sir Thomas
was sure his Irish sweetheart had
the sailing qualities needed to capture
two more contests and lift the bottom
less pewter trophy

OF the employees of the railroad, officials
being practically the only employees not
included. The men will benefit ire
spective Of whether they are members
OF unions, though the majority of the
employees are said to be union men.
Fire Order Preceded Ruling
The officials reiterated their denial
that there was any connection between
the award made at Chicago and the
order issued by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road to drop 10000 men. 1t was said
at Broad street that the decision to fire
so many men was entirely in the in
terest Of economy and efficiency. The
elimination of this number Of workers.
It was said, will save the road about
$15, ,000, 900 year.
1t was denied also that the dismissal
of these men had anything to do with
the "outlaw" strike. That trouble had
settled itself, it was said, before the
decision was made to drop the 10000.
Many of the strikers had been taken
back: others had been refused work
because they we're considered undesir-
able, and still others had never applied
for work.
The officials say that many of the men
discharged were not doing their work
and took the attitude that they held a
government job and could not be re-
moved from it. There were so many
employees in some instances, It was said,
that they were in.each others way. 4 he
discharge Of surplus workers will not
lower the efficiency Of the railroad.
No Word to Men Here
| No word had been received at the
Offices of the brotherhoods in this city
from their leaders in Chicago by mid
afternoon.
Harry s. Jeffery, chairman Of the
Philadelphia Camden shipments COM
mittee. telegraphed from Chicago to his
Office in this city of an increase oi
thirteen cents an hour to the gang lead

etc. This comes so nearly to the de

Stocks Little Affected
by r. r. Wage A,oard

The Railway Labor Boards
award of 5000, 600 900 to the rail-
road workers had little effect on
the railroad securities in today's
stock market. The probable ac-
ceptance of the award by union
leaders subject to ratification by the
men, avoiding the possibility of a
general strike, for the time being,
brought a moderate advance in some
Of the lower priced shares and Read
ing. Outside Of these issues the
gains we're fractional.
No disposition was manifested to
bid up prices in view Of the uncer-
tainty of the Interstate Commerce
Commissions action on the increased

WAGE RISE MAY
MEAN HIGHER
FREIGHT RATES

The public will have to pay the
5000 .000, 900 wage increase granted p
600 900 railroad employees by the rail-
road labor board, according to off
cials of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
1t was pointed out at Broad Street
Station this afternoon that under the
transportation act of 1920. which re-
turned the railroads to private owner
ship, any increase in expense Of this
sort is to be borne by the public.
The act instructs the Interstate Com
merce Commission to take into con-
sideration in fixing rates for freight and
passenger transportation increased
wages or increased cost of maintenance,
according to the officials. A petition
for 80 per cent increase in freight
rates, presented last May by the rail-
roads of the country, is now pending
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Wage Rise to BE Considered
It is believed by the officials that the
commission will take into consideration
the order for 5000 ,000, 900 additional
wages in finally passing on the request
for higher freight rates the country
over. Railroad officials consider It quite
possible that the increased expense may
be spread over passenger rates as well
as freight rates. The railroads base
their demand for 80 per cent. additional
tariff on an estimate that it.will take
this much extra revenue to make II
possible to earn 6 per cent. net on in
vestment.
BY virtue Of its total number of en-
ployeg, track mileage and extent OF
equipment, the Pennsylvania Railroad
will pay out 10 to II per cent of the
100000 900. or $50 .000, 900 at least.
The order will affect at least 90 per cent
