RAILROAD BOARD
HANDS DOWN AWARD
Increase of Twenty-one Per Cent for
Rail Workers in the Award
Made Public This Morning.
(By Associated Press. ]

Chicago-Six hundred million dollars
was added to the pay envelope Of the
nations two million railroad workers
today in the first award handed down
by the new United States Railway
Labor Board. Rejecting the demands
of the organized rail unions for in
creases totalling approximately one
billion dollars, the board decided an
proximately sixty per cent of that
sum would be just increase to meet
present living conditions. The award
adds approximately twenty one per
cent to the present day schedules.
Railroad officials have declared that
any pay increase awarded the men
must be followed by corresponding
increase in rates and they plan, it is
said, to file new tariffs with the inter
state commerce commission as soon as
they can be prepared. Whether the
award as given will stave off the threat
of a general railroad strike remains to
be seen. The leaders Of practically
every one of the sixteen big railroad
unions were present this morning when
Judge R. M. Barton, chairman of the
board, handed down the decision.
They left Immediately to present the
award to one thousand general chair
men, who had gathered here to pass on
its acceptability. The union presi-
dents refused to make any comment
before the meeting. The terms of the
decision had been known to them yes
terday and they believed that their
men would stay in line at least until a
referendum vote can be taken. Nearly
month will be needed for the refer
endum. The boards decision is retro
active to May 1. AS the maximum in
crease was IS cents an hour or $50. ~
per month, the biggest pay check due
when the back pay is given on Septem-
Der the first will be for s110.76. En-

they be there again until September I.

SEEK BIGGEST
CAMPAIGN ROLL
Democratic Chiefs Decide to Raise
$S,50o,OO0 to Fight Battle for
Cox and Roosevelt.

Columbus, GA fund of more than
$3,5O0,000 twice as large as the 1916
chest, must be raised today to finance
the battle proposed by Gov. James N.
Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt, leaders
of the Democratic national committee
here for the first campaign meeting
today estimate. Cox stated his per-
sonal choice for national committee
man was Ed. H. Moore, his convention
campaign manager. Doubt existed
that Moore will accept. Apparently
Homer S. Cummings was in line for
reelection, if Moore declines. The
proposed fund will be the greatest in
the history of the party, but national
committeeman say it is necessary be-
cause all campaign commodities have
more than doubled.

gineers, fremen and yardmen will be
entitled to this amount. The board
provides that the back pay checks shall
be made out separately SO that each
man will know the amount he receives
from that source. Seven things were
taken into consideration in arriving at
the award, the preamble of the boards
announcement says. They are: The
scale paid for similar kinds Of work in
other industries; the relation between
wages and the cost of living; the
hazards of the employment; training
and skill required; degree of respon-
sibility; character and regularity of
the employment, and inequalities in
increases and treatment resulting from
previous wage orders.

Edward Beaumont King
 Addresses the Redmen

The members of the Redmen's lodge had the pleasure of an of ficial visit Sunday evening from Edward Beaumont King, Great Sachem for the State of Washing ton. Mir. King was in charge of the Shrine pilgrimage to Alaska, and took advantage of the oppor- tunity afforded to visit Stikine Tribe No. 5, of Wrangell. This is the first time since the local tribe was formed more than 16 years ago that an elective officer has ever paid it an official visit.
 Mr. King hurriedly inquired in- to the condition of Stikine Tribe, and when he found what a won derful showing the tribe had made in the way of contributions dur ing the war he was loud in his praise, and said he felt not the slightest apprehension about the future of tribe with such a splendid record of patriotism.
 The speaker then delivered an address that held his hearers spellbound. It was a sermon on friendship and brotherly love that no one could listen to without be- ing ennobled thereby.
 After hearing MT. King talk it is easy to understand why he is so universally beloved by the members of the organizations with which he is affiliated.

ShrinerS Con-
 voyed Into Port by Mosquito Fleet

day evening at 6 o'clock. A mosquito fleet composed of five boats took a goodly portion of Wrangell's population on board at 5 o'clock and went out to meet the Jefferson and Spokane which were travelling together. The steamers were met just around the point of Vank Island and was surely a joyful meeting. Bands played, flags tluttered and handkerchiefs waved. Richard Suratt, Alaska representative of of the Gaumont Weekly, was aboard one of the Wrangell boats with his moving picture machine and secured some splendid pie lures for his corporation which will not only possess news value but will be excellent advertising of the scenic beauties of the h. side passage. The boats which met the Shriners were: Halcyon, Hazel B No. 4, Franl; H. Mad den, F. c. Barnes and Kinema.
 Upon the arrival, of the Shrin- CTS in Wrangell they found the town in gay attire.
 Mayor J. G. Grant. who was to have presided at the patriotic exercises was unavoidably kept away from the meeting. Leonard M. Campbell of the executive committee presided in his ab- sence.
 Dr. s. c. Shurick, the baby Shriner was taken from the boat and carried on the shoulders of two Shriners to the prize ring in front of the Wrangell hotel. Here the doctor was introduced to his home people by Potentate Edward Beaumont King as a Noble who had been a first class candidate with grit enough to hang on to the rope. Potentate King stated that he thought the Shriners owed it to their Wran- gell friends to pull off some stunt here, and he was going to make Dr. Shurick climb the totem by Matheson's store and bring down the fez that was on top of the totem. Just then Dr. Shurick received a call to attend a pa tient whose condition was serious. One of the local Shriners assured the Potentate that the call was not a subterfuge. Dr. Shurick was then excused much to the disappointment of all, especially the local Shriners.
 Many of the Shriners ex. pressed a desire to see the totem poles and the majority of them wended their way to the east end of town where they viewed the totems and had their mean ings explained by the Rev. H. P. Corser, author of Totem Lore.
 In the Alaskan pilgrimage were about three hundred Shrin. CTS including the Imperial Divan which was elected at Portland on June 23. The divan is composed of the following:
 Ellie Lewis Garretson, Tacoma, imperial potentate; Ernest A.. Cutts, Savannah, Ga., deputy imperial potentate; James s. McCandless, Honolulu, imperial deputy rabban; Conrad V.
