when the government took charge of
wages through the Adamson act, the
labor cost OF the railroads had not
exceeded the sum of about s 1,4sS, 000,-
600 annually. In 1920, when govern
mental authority made the last wage
increase, the labor cost of the rail-
roads was, about s3,6sS,ooo,ooo annu-
ally, or, if continued throughout the
year instead Of for the eight months
during which the wage Increases were
in effect, the labor cost, On an annuai
basis, would have been largely in ex-
cess of $4,000, 1000, an increase since
the government took charge OF rail-.
road wages In the Adamson act, OF
approximately s2,450, 100000 annually.
In the light Of these figures 1t is
manifest that the recent reduction
OF wages authorized by the Labor
Board. estimated at from 10 to II per
cent, in no sense meets or solves the
problem Of labor costs and In no way
makes it possible for the railroads to
afford reduction in their revenues.
Thousands of Rates Already Reduced.
Indeed, during the past year there
have been between: four and five thou
sand individual reductions in freight
rates. On some railroads the reduc-
tions in rates have amounted to more
than the reductions in wages, allowed

do not the railroads take their medt-

The railroads were not permitted,
as were other industries, to make

GRIP.

Grip usually starts just the came
as cold with a watery discharge
from the nose. You are much more
likely to contract the grip when you
have cold. For that reason when
grip is prevalent you should go to
bed as soon as you feel that you are
taking cold and stay in bed until
fully recovered which should not be
long if you take Chamberlain Cough
Remedy. Three days in bed now is
better than three weeks later on.

With all the agitation for blue Sunday
observarices we hear very little protest
against the sort Of Sunday that keeps
.the housewife working harder on Sun
Iday than any other day in the week.
sAnd the truth Of the matter Is that
some good men. while they have a holy
horror of seeing their neighbors playing
igolf or tennis on Sunday and drill their
,children in church going from their
jyouth up. would be rather badly disap
spointed if they came home from church
ion Sunday to be served with nice
howl of bread and milk instead Of the
usual chicken fricasse. or roast beef.
vegetables carefully prepared and cook
ed and ice cream with homemade
cake. Sunday dinner is something of an
institution in many families To make
1T a heavy elaborate meal seems part Of
some peoples respectability.
But the housewives might have some
thing TO say about this. In fact some
of them have expressed themselves. In
one or two families i know of the old
time Sunday dinner has been abolished
Ier.tirely Midday meal on Sunday is a
simple, nourishing meal. 1t may be
packed in an automobile and carried
out TO the woods TO be eaten quite
easily. The hearty meal comes late in
the day and is while nourishing and
satisfying, quite the simplest cinner OF
the week Usually IL consists Of dishes
most Of which have been almost entire
Iy prepared on Saturday.
Many persons make the excuse that
they cling to the old one or two o'clock
Sunday dinner because of their maids
Naturally the maids want to get out on
Sunday afternoon. Some maids would
Fbe quite as content to go out i'm
mediately after breakfast dishes were
done and stay out until half past five,
time TO set the table for the simple Sun
day dinner at night. Moreover with
this meal so largely prepared the day
before. with no elaborate cooking TO do,
SERVANTS might be allowed to have all
of Sunday off from after breakfast.
