sumably because the raises, as ap.
Piled to various classes of railway
Labor, were more or less uneven
and inequitable. Certain classes
had received by 1919, increases
ranging over 100 per cent, where
as the increase to certain other
classes ranged below so per cent.
Serious impairment of morale fol-
lowed and has been increasingly
manifest in recent months. One
of the problems faced by the
Railway Labor Board was the ad-
justment of these troubleIbreed-
ing inequalities. How far it sue
ceeded III that task cannot yet be
judged. The chairman of the
board explains, however, that it
took into consideration the "scale
of wages for similar work in
other industries, relation of wages
to cost of living, hazards of en-
ployment, training and skill re-
CURED, degree of responsibility,
character and regularity of en-
ployment," and Inequalities of
increase of wages or of treatment
through previous adjustments. "
Some of these standards of ad-

USE BONUS SYSTEM TO
FORCE LONG WORK HOURS
iBy the Federated Press. J

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. @
One OF the chief reasons why flour
mills arc running on limited time is
the inability Of Europe to finance
tself in buying American wheat and
flour, according to B. Nj. Scanned, OF
the Scanncl- Winters Grain company,
Oklahoma City.
I've do not understand this talk
about Canadian wheat being respon-
sible for mills closing down and the
general chaotic condition of the
wheat and flour market. What diff
ference does it make whether the
wheat and flour are shipped from
Canada or sold in the United States
and exported by the United States?
1t all depends on Europe, which ul-
timately gets it," Scanned said.
That the talk of cheap Canadian
wheat and flour may be scheme
of spectators to scare farmers who
are holding their wheat, into selling
is the belief OF many wheat growers
