desires both in the regular force and
the detective branch, and will be held
responsible for results. He viii be
given several months in which to work
on the changes, and his orders viii

do will be looked after by the regular
patrolmen. The suburbs win be po-
Iced for the present DN auto squaqS

Z. S. Relief or We Quit,
Says Express Official
Hnge Raise Is Only One Of
Many Financial Troubles;
Rnfe Increase Is Demanded

The American Railway Express Com
pany's attitude on the Labor Boards new
$50. GOO 600 wage award IS that without
government relief the company must
quit business in September anyhow.
Therefore the officials refuse to worry,
according to w. B. Clark, assistant
treasurer Of the Eastern department.
The amount is far below the company's
demand, so that neither side is sat-
ished
I'VE never made a penny in our
lives Clark said yesterday. eve have
been prohibited from making money.
We have had an average deficit of two
millions per month for two years. Our
rate case awaits decision now, and we
hope that the Interstate Commerce
Comm ission Will consider this wage
award in fixing that Otherwise we
cant operate longer
I'VE also await decision on classifica-
ton OF our service and on the action
under the Sherman antitrust law to
prove the company Illegal Costs of
material that we need are in some
cases $50 per cent higher and profiteers
are still raising them"
Clark said that the company's posi-
ton is not that their employees
don't deserve an increase, but that the
company can't possibly meet it while
the government restricts it's income.
But ne considered it unfair that the
pay OF supervisors is not raised. be-
cause some Of them now get less than
the men whose labor they direct
The company has about 10000 en-
ployees, Clark estimated, and local
officers figured that 10000 are in and
around New York. By the new award
the wage increase is 16 cents an hour,
or $3.50 per month, for messengers
and other train service employees, and
Tor all other employees S32. Train
service employees work on q 240-hour
month basis, all others on d 204-hour
basis

on the salary of March ], but the in

Naval Officer Who AssaiIed

Ordered to Report as

Disciplinary Action Seen
Failure Satisfactorily 10
Complete Orders on Cable
Laying Given as Reason

From The Tribunes Vcshinoton Bureo,,
WASHINGTON, Aug. I0.-Rear Ad-
mlral Benton c. Decker, whose Wig
orous attacks on Secretary Daniels and
former Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
have been under consideration by the
Navy Department for some tim, wes
relieved to-day from command of the
important naval position as comman-
dant OF the Seventh Naval District at
Key West, Fla, and ordered oreport
to the commandant of the naval oper-
ating base at Norfolk, Va, for subor-
dinate duty.
The order is interpreted in naval
circles as disciplinary action against
Decker for openly attacking Messrs.
Daniels and Roosevelt.
1t was explained that Decker's re-
moval was occasioned by his failure to
carry out satisfactorily instructions
from Admiral Robert Coontz, chief of
naval operations, in connection with
the navy's part in preventing the land
ing of the cable ship engaged in laying
the new Western Union cable from the
Barbados to Florida
Admiral Decker's transfer to the Nor
folk navy base means that he viii no
longer occupy the important post Of

Operators Consider Any
Inequalities in Decision
Made by Commission

WASHINGTON, Aug 10.-President
Wilson to-day requested the joint scale
committee Of btumnous miners and
operators to meet at Cleveland, August

operators, and John l.. Lewis. presi-
dent OF the United Mine Workers of
America The President called at
tention to a statement issued by him
to the striking miners in Illinois July
80, requesting them to return to work
and promising to invite the scale COM
mittee to reconvene "for the pur-
pose Of adjusting any such inequalities
as they may mutually agree should be
adjusted"
Makes Good His Promise
In his message to Brewster and
Lewis. the President said
81 have been informed that, in COM
plance with my request, the striking
miners have resumed work, an action
on their part which 1 desire to COM
mend. In conformity, therefore, with
the promise contained in my state
ment, / hereby request the members
of the joint scale committee Of opera
tors and miners of the central COM
petitive coal fields to meet in the city
of Cleveland, Ohio. Friday morning,
August l3, 1920, for the purpose Of
considering any inequalities that may
have occurred in the award of the
Bitumnous Coal Commission and the
joint agreement growing out of the
same. and adjusting any and all such
inequalities as the joint scale COM
mittee may mutually agree should be
adjusted"
The message was sent soon after
the President had received word from
President Lewis, of the mine workers.,
that the mine laborers in the Illinois
field, acting on his request, had re-
turned to work pending the wage ad-
justment they sought.

fancy themselves as not amenable to

IS bad Typography. Do not have
the lines too long, never more than

better to set two l3-pica columns.
When the line of type is too

Adjust Charges at Once
to Cover New Expense

CHICAGO, Aug. 1o.-Thirty million
dollars was added to-day to the ma
tion's express bill. The United States
Railway Labor Board awarded the So
COO employees of the American Railway
Express Company an increase Of 16
cents an hour. The decision is retro
active to May /. 1920.
The boards decision will be sub.
mitted TO the $4,000 men affected in 4
referendum, with q recommendation
that the award be accepted. officials Of
the four unions included in the de-
cis;on announced tonight
Under the terms of the Esch- Cum
rins transportation act the express
company Will be permitted to raise its
rates sufficiently to meet the increased
lsbor cost. Arguments in the rate case
already have been presented before the
Interstate Commerce Commission at
Washington.
To-aay's award does not go into the
question Of rules and working condi-
ticns. AS was the case last month
when the board granted a 5000, 1000, 900
increase to railway employees, it was
announced that decision covering new
working rules would be handed down
later.
Four Unions Affected
The express decision applies to all
express employees save $500 shopmen,
who were given an increase of 13 cents
an hour in the railway award last
month. The award to expressmen is
slightly better than the average in
crease to the railroad men. the board
finding that express employees as a
class were not so we'll paid as men in
other lines OF railroad work
Four unions are affected by the
boards decision. They are:
The brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers,
Express and Station Employees.
The International Brotherhood of
Teamsters. Chaufeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America.
The Railway Express Drivers, Chauf-
feurs and Conductors, Local T20. Of
Chicago.
The Order Of Railway Expressmen.
Presidents of the express unions
who were present when the award was
handed down were non-c ommittal on
its acceptability, but the general i'm
preston was that the Labor Board
had been slightly more generous than
either the unions or the express COM
pary had expected. Two of the unions
had demanded increases of S51 month,
while the other two asked an increase
OF S35 monthly.
