Million Dollars
(Associated Pressl

Chicago, July 20.-The United

railroad workers increases totaling
six hundred million dollars. The In
crease amounts to approximately q
per cent of the present wage scale.
AWARD RETROACTIVE
The award is retroactive to May 1st
of this year. The decision grants the
workers approximately go per cent of
the billion dollar increase they sought.
The presidents of all the leading
Drotherhoods and representatives of
the railroad managers were present
when the decision was made public.
IT MEANS A BIG RATE INCREASE
Railroad officials have declared any
pay increases awarded the men must
be followed by a corresponding in
crease in rates and they plan to file
new tariffs with the Interstate Com

RAILROAD MANAGERS AFTER
THEIR RAISE
Washington, July 20.-Immediately
upon receipt of the labor boards an
Rouncement, railway executives here
went into conference to frame rec
concentrations to the Interstate Com
meree Commission for rate advances
,tc meet the added expense of the six
hundred millions to the carriers.
The commission now has under con-
sideration an application of the car
riers for freight rate increases to pro-
vide an added income of one billion
seventy-seven millions annually, bat
these increases do not take into ac-
count. any wage advances.
The railroad executives said today
they would ask the commission to-
spread the increased expense created
by the award upon both freight and
passenger rates, but the proportion
has not vet been determined.

ARMY CONVOY IS
PROVED SUCCESS

A VALUABLE addition to United
n states military history has Just
been contributed by an army
truck convoy in the completion Of q
4000-mile transcontinental journey
from Baltimore to the western coast.
The ocean 70 ocean expedition was
undertaken by the war department to
stimulate interest in a system OF ma
tional highways across the country,
ana followed the route Of the Bank
head highway the most south erly Of
our transcontinental routes Director
general J. A. Rountree, Of the Bank
head highway, accompanied the cara
van
Officially the, trip started at wash
ington, D. C., and ended at Los An
geless but the convoy actually start
ed from Baltimore with san Fran
cisco as its final destination. The
expedition disbanded in the bay city
after delivering its equipment TO the
ordnance department at the Preside.
Forty-eiglt vehicles made the start
from the city on Chesapeake bay-32
motor trucks, SIX motorcycles and six
passenger cars. The motor trucks
and motorcycles were driven by men
Of the detachment while the conveys
officers drove the passenger cars.
The caValcade went through Rich
mOnd, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta,
Memphis, Little Rock, Texarkana,
Dallas. Fort Worth. FL Paso, Bisbee,
Tucson, Yuma, FL Centre, san Diego
and Los Angeles TO san Francisco
over route embracing every con-
ceivable road condition.
Among the main purposes Of the
cross country tour was the desire TO
obtain first and evidence concerning
the performance Of pneumatic cord
tires on heavy army trucks, and with
this object about half the trucks IN

Extensive reports were made daily
concerning the operation Of the solid
tired freighters and the trucks wear
ing pneumatics. Based on these daily
records. a comprehensive report is to
be made later by the commanding Of
Ecer 10 the war department showing
the comparative efficiency of the
trucks on these two types OF tires.
AS pneumatic tires had never be-
fore figured heavily in tours OF this
transported large supply Of spares
for use in emergencies. But so little
trouble was experienced with the
pneumatic tat a whole truck load Of
spares was left at FL Paso, as Il was
evident no use for them would de-
velop-
And despite the exacting road con-
ditions, ranging from southern
sWamps TO western deserts and rocky
mountain roads, the tires finished the
tour in fine condition, appearing good
for many more miles Of service.
Officers and men are unanimous in
their praise Of the service rendered
by pneumatics and declare that but
for the tractive qualities furnished
by them when the trucks got into
difficult positions, it would have been
impossible to extricate them without
pulling out BY tractor
II is generally agreed that this lat
est OF coast to coast motor truck
runs has not only proven the adapta-
bility Of pneumatic tires to regular
army work. but that the transporta-
tlon Of munitions Of war by truck 20

entirely feasible, and with the i'm
