RAILWAY WAGE AND
RATE INCREASES

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. O.
Since the recen torder of the Inter
state Commerce Commission, author
izing the railways of the country to
advance freight rates and passenger
tares, came only few days after the
award of the Railway Labor Board,
giving increased wages to certain
classes of railway labor, there has
been a tendency in some quarters to
confuse the two" says a statement
issued by the Southern Railway Sys-
tenn. "A few days ago." the state
ment continues, "a Southern editor
was asked If the railway employees
receive an increase in wages amount
ing to $625,000,0OO, and rates are adj
vanced SO as to yield 81 100000, 900.
what becomes of the difference?'
The difference goes to help the
railways meet previous increases in
wages which were granted by the
United States Railroad Administra-
ton, to pay increased prices of fuel,
crossties, bridge timber, steel rails
and other materials of which the rail-
ways use large quantities and, after
paying these increased costs, to yield
Fair return on the value of the prop
erty, devoted to transportation pur-
poses. Such return is absolutely
necessary if the railways are to be able
to attract new capital which must be
had to provide additional facilities,
urgently needed in the South where
there has been such a marked in
crease in commercial activity.
"The petition of the railways for
increased rates was filed in May, long
before the award of the Labor Board,

ested is one Of the objects Of Home
Service. 1t has established community

Through Home Service other agencies

commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel

respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.

and showed that at that time many
railways were not earning their oper-
atig expenses. After the award of
the Labor Board was announced. the
railways filed supplemental petition,
asking further increases to meet this
additional expense, and the decision
of the Commission was>rendered after
considering both petitions"

To ForeteII Weather

The following is given in the Bos-
ton Globe as means Of foretelling the
weather; "a gray, lowering sunset,
or one where the sky is green or vel
lowish green, indicates rain. A red
sunrise, with clouds lowering later in
the morning, also indicates rain. A
halo occurring after fine weather in
dicates a storm. A corona growing
smaller indicates rain; growing larwer,
fair weather. A morning rainbow Is
regarded as sign Of RAIN an eve
ming rainbow of fair weather. A deep
blue color of the sky, even when seen
through clouds, indicates fair wealth
err; a growing Wilderness, an approach
Ing storm FOgs indicate settled
weather. A morning fog usually
breaks away before noon. Unusual
clearness Of the atmosphere, unusual
brightness or twinkling of the stars,
indicate rain. The first frost and the
last frost are usually preceded By
temperature very much above normal.
