Dor Board To Grant Half of
Mems Demands According
To Advance Report.
;TRIKE NOT UNLIKELY
Union Leaders Have No Hesitancy In
Saying That Decision May Not Be
isfactory-AdVance Amounts
to s6oo,ooo,ooo.

Chicago-The Railway Labor board.
created under the h-Cummins
transportation act, will hand down at
once it's first award increasing the pay
of virtually all the 100000 railroad
employees of the country.
On the eve of the decision, reports
from reliable quarters indicated the
award would average between so to
so per cent of the amount asked by the
men or between $500,000,0O0 and
5000. OO0,O 900 of the billion dollar total
they sought.
Judge R. M. Barton, chairman OF the
board, admitted that is not far Off
when shown the report.
No Hint as to Attitude of Men.
Whether an award on the basis re-
ported would be acceptable to the men,
no union officer was prepared to say.
Nearly 1000 brotherhood chairmen
and executives held an all day SEES
sion to discuss union affairs and adj
jOurned to receive the boards report.
A feeling of .pessimism was evident
when the union leaders met and pri-
vatsly they did not hesitate to declare
that 4 general strike was a possibility.
However, it was virtually certain that
the union chiefs themselves would not
call a strike but would submit the
question of accepting or rejecting the
boards award to referendum.
The most closely watched confer
ence of railroad leaders was that of
the Big Five" group comprising the
brotherhoods of railway engineers,
firemen, conductors, trainmen and
switchmen. Representatives of the
six federated shop crafts, including
the blacksmiths, boilermakers, car
penters, and electricians also were in
session, while leaders of the mainte-
nance employees, clerks, freight hand
lers and labOrers met in several con-
ferences in downtown hotels.
There Is nothing to be said yet,
said Warren Stone, grand chief of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engine
men. I'VE are here to receive the
award of the Railroad Wage board
None of us know what the award will
be. We are talking things over"
Grand Council to Meet.
Immediately upon the announcement
Of the award the grand council of the
brotherhoods will be called. It will be
the first session in more than a year
Sixteen groups of rail workers will be
represented, and they will act upon
the award section by section. How
long the session will last is problemati
cal, leaders said

How Diphtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression,
My child caught a severe cold
which developed into diphtheria, :"
when the truth was that the cold had
simply left the little one particularly
susceptible to the wandering diph.
iberia germ. If your child has a
cold when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out of schooi
and keep him off the street until
fully recovered as there is a hundred
times more danger of his taking
diphtheria when he has a cold.
When Chamberlain Cough Remedy
is given it quickly cures the cold and
lessons the danger of diphtheria or
any other germ disease being con-
tracted.

the writer, who always fixes a price

There is a bridge across the Sus-

fine State road which the taxpayers
put down and keep in excellent con-
dition. But when the taxpayer for
any reason has to cross that river he
finds he pays the private owners OF
that bridge very unfair and exor-
bitant price to go one mile. They
formerly collected so cents for auto
mobiles each way to cross, but now
they charge 10 cents extra for each
person in the machine besides the
driver. If there are five persons il
costs 81 to cross each way.
If the Public Service Commission
does not think it is their duty to pro-
tect the public against lot of poll
ticians who own that bridge, then
the Road Commission should cut of
the good roads that lead that way
and make the road to Conowingo

FRIDAY, APRIL 80, 1920.

The primary election will be held
in Cecil county CD Monday, May 8.
On the Republican ticket will be the
names of Hiram w. Johnson, of
California, and Leonard Wood, of
Massachusetts, Presidential aspir-
ants, and William N. Andrews, of
Dorchester county, present Congress
man from the First District, who
seeks denomination.
Alfred Stengle Marine, of Dorches
ter county, had announced his cand1-
dacy for the Republican Congress
sional nomination, but withdrew
from the race, and thereby hangs a
tale. Mr.. Marine was a wet can
didate, while Mr.. Andrews has al
ways voted for the dry measures. 1t
was put up to Mr.. Marine in such
plain terms that the First Congress
sional District of Maryland, elnbrac-
ing the nine Eastern Shore counties,
which includes Cecil, was a dry Dis
trict, and had been for years, and
would not stand for "wet" candi
date, that he finally decided on Sat
urday last to withdraw his name
from the ticket and leave the field to
Mr.. Andrews, unopposed.
On the Democratic ticket are the
names of two Congressional aspir-
ants, Thomas Alan Goldsborough, OF
Caroline county, and Hilton W. Rob-
ertson, of Wicomico county.
.1,s ID t1,n
wet and dry question is that it is in
the hands of the Supreme Court, and
that he will abide by the decision OF
the Court.
In Mr.. Robertson, however, the
Democrats have an open champion of
''beer and wine" as he chooses to
put it, who has pledged himself, If
nominated and elected to Congress
to, do all in his power to have the
Volstead Enforcement Act so modi-
fed as to give the liquor interests a
foothold to ply their nefarious trade.
Mr.. Robertson is making an open bid
for the wet vote.
In our county of Cecil, with it's
years of prohibition, it has always
been political suicide for candidate
to openly espouse the liquor cause.
as Mr.. Robertson is doing, and it is
not likely that the temperance voters
of Cecil county are going to take a
step backward by permitting the
: selection of such a candidate to
undo, to the extent that lies in his
Il. Il - sy, fsp1er
and keeping the crime breeding
liquor business out of our county
and Congressional District.
You Democratic voters of Cecil
will have an opportunity of register
ing your approval or disapproval of
a wet candidate on Monday, May
8. The issue is plain. Are you
going to let the "wets' put their man
over?

There are 20 congregations scat
tered through the State of Maryland
which pay their pastors less than
$500 a year.
This is one of the startling facts
revealed by the recent Statewide
survey of conditions by the Inter
church World Movement. The aver
age salary paid to Maryland pastors
is only $1O14 year and the average
amount contributed for this purpose
by the average church member is
only $4.26 per year.
In order to give living wage to the
clergymen of the various churches, a
large portion of the great Inter-
church World Movement United
Financial Campaign budget of $685.
777,572 will be devoted to minister
ial salaries and pensions.
PAY the preacher more" is one OF
the slogans of the campaign which,
beginning on Sunday, April rs, att

for the success of the campaign, will
ing May g In the counties of Mary
land as throughout the nation, the
canvassing for funds will be done ac-
cording to denominations. The var
ious churches will be responsible for
raising their own quotas and gen
eral community committee will en-
list the interest and the dollars of the
friendly citizens who belong to mol
denomination but who believe in sup
porting the program of the church as
force for good in the community
The sum set aside for the preach
ers' increased salaries is $20,51O,299,
this being the least amount that will
enable the churches to pay all the|
ministers living wage. The nation
wide survey shows that the average|
salary of the pastors for the nation|
as whole is only 1897 a year. Cali
fornia pays the highest wage, $180O|
being the average there. Kentucky
pays the lowest, 1862.
