 WORKER BETTER OFF NOW THAN IN 1914
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1


 NEW YORK, Nov. 13-M. W. Alex ander, managing director of the na- tional industrial conference board. in lations association today, said that on July 1 railroad employees were 37 per cent better off in respect to the purchasing power of their wages than in 1914
 Discussing determination of wage rates, he said, that taking into con- sideration the 12 per cent wage cut, railroad employees today were about 20 per cent better off than before the war. This condition, he added, was contingent on wages remaining for some time at present levels while the cost of living continued to de- cline.
 M. O. Rorty, an official of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, declared statistics on the profits of going concerns were high iy misleading" and must be studied over before they could be taken as premises on which to base wage ad- justments.
 Taking all legitimate ventures into account he added, and consid- ering as a whole. their successes and failures, their many risks and their few certainties, their youth, their TO- bust years and their old age, the average profit on capital employed in business and industry, is not dou- ble interest, but, on the contrary, ex- ceeds single interest by a relatively small margin, if any,"

fNs r. GSdSGQ wire
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 3-Deploring the effort to nut a sales tax through the senate at presel. Chairman Ford ney of the house ways and means committee disclosed last night that it was his play to bring in a sales tax in connection with the soldiers bonus bin whiCf he said would be re- ported during the regular session.
 Earlier, MT. F'ordney. Representa- tives Green of Iowa and Longworth of Ohio, had informed senate leaders that under no condition would the house agree tC sales tax at this time.
 With proponents of the Shoot plan claiming only five votes less than a majority for the sales tax, some Re publican senate leaders thought the fate of that proposition would be de- cided by discussions in the senate. The latest canvass of the senate by leaders was said to have shown 30 Republican senators for the sales tax F against it and 12 doubtful with six absent oI not boiled. Two Demo- crats were represented as favorine this form o1 taxation with three others doubtful
 Proceeding with the tax bill, the senate COIlpleIeu COnSlQeraI1On Oi majority committee amendments and took up changes proposed by sena- tors. A third successive night ses- sion was held.
 Changes made in the bill include addition of five cent a gallon tax or syrup used in the manufacture ot carbonated beverages, the tax or which had been fixed at two cents and the reductions from five to three cents a pound in the rate on car. 'bonic acid gas.
 Another amendment adopted would exempt from thN admission ta, charges made by community center picture shows.
 Under a majority amendment tC the insurance section, agreed on, mu. tual insurance companies other thar life companies would be taxed on ne | income as computed under the pres. l ent law, while old line insurance companies, other than life would b, l taxed on the net income from invest ment and underwriting.
 Amendments offered by seatnor. were disposed of rapidly, but few | being adopted, and the night sessior was cut short. Senator Penrose ex. l plained that since the soldiers bonu. and sales tax proposals were tn, only big issues remaining so far a: he knew, nothing was to be gained by meeting longer tonight.

CAEA. Neb-, Nov. 3-Harry EiDe, employed by a Chicago parachute company was drowned in the Miss curi river late today when he landed sn the stream after making a para chuse jump of 2.o0o feet during the iaterna tional aero congress being he'd here today.

 After alighting on the surface of the stream his parachute supported him as he drifted for about a quar- ter of a mile. Fruitless efforts to save him by volunteers in a rowboat were made, the fact they were unable to find any oars for time, delaying their efforts.

 Officials To Give
 Wage Cut Notices
TRepublican A. p. Leased WireJ

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Chief oper- ating officials of railroads in the eastern territory planned at con ference today to give the required 30 days notice of the proposed wage cuts to representatives of each class of employees the latter part of next week. A statement issued by J. G. Walber, who acted as chairman, said it would be impossible to complete details for the preparation of such notice prior to that date.
 'The motion was unanimous, the statement said, fin view that the present condition necessitates the earliest possible reduction in the wage scale. This cannot be started without serving 30 days notice upon the representatives of the railroad employees, after which conferences are necessary to develop whether or not it is possible to reach an agree ment.
 'In the event that it is not possible to reach an agreement then 1t will become necessary for the dispute to be submitted to the Urited States labor board.

LEVINE OPTIMISTIC
 ABOUT BOLSHEVIKI
 ECONOMIC POLICIES
Republican A. p. Leased wlrel

MOSCOW, Nov. Sour previous stormy attack on the capitalistic for tress was like the siege of Port Ar thur" Nikolai Lenine. Russian soviet premier, declared, in addressing the communistic party in this district The attack failed; therefore it must pass to a more difficult and slower siege
 Responding to criticisms of his previous economic policy, Lenine said it was no mistake to attempt to storm the capitalistic citadel, but it would be great mistake to adhere to such tactics after they were found inef- fective.
 He was optimistic about the changed economic policy and ironical in his denunciation of those who look unfavorably on the new policy. He declared it would be a fatal error to employ the previous psychology and methods in the present situation.
 The premier was favorably received by the conference. He looks thinner and apparently is not in rugged health, but speaks with force.
 Leo Kameneff, president of the Moscow soviet, said the Moscow dis trict was greatly in arrears because of the expenditure for concerns taken over from private owners. When an attempt was made to take census oI those concerns and make lists of the workers engaged it was found there were no records.
 The budget, which has previously been forty five billions monthly for the Moscow district, he said, had been raised to eighty billion, but two hun dred billion rubles were now re- cuired; therefore there was short age of 120 billions which must Dc raised. Taxes were the chief source but he could not hope to get more than 30 billions from them. Expenses must be curtailed and the tax rate | increased.

Time to Go Slow

\ few days ago the Legislature Of
massachusetts demonstrated its pur-
pose to refuse increases Of salaries
and compensations. -
The citizens of Maine are watching
to see what the Maine Legislature
viii do in that respect.
Much legislation has been intro
duced in the Maine Legislature call
ing for the increase Of salaries and
pensioning of officials never before
pensioned. We do not attempt to
say that there may not be instances
where an increase in salary or a PEN
sion is deserved. But is this the
time for a general raise of salaries
or establishing new class of pensions?
The majority of our taxpayers are
certainly as much in need Of relief
as the salaried official. Prices are
receding from the peak; the cost Of
living is going down, unemployment
is on the increase. It is certainly q
time to go slow on increases of all
kinds. At time like this anyone
seeking increased salary should have
a mighty good case for the burden Of
proof is on him and what he seeks is
contrary to the trend of the times.
The problem of the hour is how to
reduce running expenses, and that
includes salaries as we'll as wages.

Included in this property which is
rusting out are 1000 five-ton cater
pillar tractors, shop units and ma
chine tools. Private individuals
might build temporary shelters for
this at nominal expense, but not the
government. oh, MOI" Would the
Journal recommend any more such
shelters for these trucks as is now
being built at Augusta? And does
1t think the states could do any bet
ter than has Maine in handling this
war property?-Watervilf Sentinel.
Our neighbor assumes the State
garage is to be discussed as and
compared with a Temporary shell
ter" ooh no." Whatever may be
thought respecting the advisability Of
erecting a permanent State garage
where the road department may do
its own repair work seems to us as
having no bearing on the need of a
temporary shelter for the national
governments millions of dollars
worth of equipment exposed to the
weather. and not so much as a tarred
paper roof over it.
