After one days consideration of the railway wage case, the federal railway labor board made a prelim- mary announcement forecasting a gen. eral reduction of wages on every rail- road, effective July l. On June l the board will make it's decision on wage disputes filed prior to April IS, and this will set the standard for all fu- ture decisions affecting the two million employees who were granted a $6OO,- OOO,OO0 annual wage increase one year ago. The reduction may be as much as 12 per cent. An immediate result of the announcement was the re- employment of 5000 men by the Chica- go & Alton, and there were predic- tions that practically all of the 25O,- 900 railway men now out of work would be employed by the time the wage reductions go into effect.

BRESLAU, Silesia. March 15. CBy the Associated Press)- More than 100000 of Upper Silesia native sons and daughters from Germany have reached their voting precincts in the plebiscitc zones. Their presence is injecting the population with un- bounded enthusiasm and has served to give German hopes an impetus. r. Policing arrangements for Sunday, the voting day, have been perfected
 One novelty of voting day will be the balloting by inmates of jails and other penal institutions who are eli gibie. They also will receive a Ger man and Polish ballot. The valid ballot will be deposited in a ballot box. while the other one must be burned.
 The prison voting places will be equipped with candles which the in mates will use to burn the unused ballot, as the prison officials claim this method will prevent the prison CTS from obtaining -scribbling pap CT" with which they eventually would be enabled to carry on comfnunica- tion between themselves.
