day by DR.. Frank J. Warne, statistician
for the employees.
He said that to any one who had
followed the representations before the
valuation board Of the Insterstate Com
merce Commission 1t was plain the rail-
roads were "massing all their combined
resources, financial and intellectual, to
get adopted the doctrine of ordinary
commercial value or exchange value
Tor their lands, and TO have included
IN the value tho 'unearned increment
on the land"
DR.. Warne contended the public
ought not be compelled to pay charges
on the speculative value of the land
ct the railroads. He said:
I'm public utility it is unthinkabic
that the private owner should hope for.
expect or receive any speculative gains
whatever. If he may have the specula-
tive value coming from the increase Of
land values, in the great terminals and
from social progress, he is no longer
rendering public service, but engaged
IN private speculation in urban real
estate
DR.. Warne said that the unearned in
crement on the terminals of the New
haven Railroad, for illustration, would
more than offset the loss caused by a
forced judicial sale of the whole sys-
tenn, should that be brought about.
Taking the railroads of the country as
whole, he said that from 80 to 40 per
cent of the value of road and equip
ment was unearned increment, valued
at $600,000,O00.

Rail Pay Roll
Cut Million i'm
New England
U. s. Labor Board Readjusts
Clerks Scale, Making the
Hourly Rate Identical for
Six and Seven Day Men
Ruling Effective Dec. 16
Inequalities of From 80 to
90 Cents Daily Eliminai-
ed OH Five Railroads

CHICAGO, Dec. "A decision ex-
pected to- cut nearly 100000 from the
pay rolls of New England railroads was
handed down by the United States Rail-
road Labor Board here -dav, when it
readjusted the rates of pay of clerks,
making the hourly rate Identical for
men who work six days and those who
work seven days week. The ruling
becomes effective December 16 on five
roads-Boston & Maine, Maine Central,
New York, New Haven & Hartford, Cen
trail New England Railway and the
Portland (Maine) Terminal Company.
Inequalities Of from 80 to 90 cents a
day resulted in the pay OF clerks on
these roads from the application of a
rule in the clerks national agreement
which became effective January /, 1920.
Prior to this date the New England
roads had paid clerical employees on &
daily basis, some being assigned to a
six day week and others working seven
days. Both received the same daily
rate.
Rule 66 of the clerks agreement pre-
scribed a method of converting weekly
and monthly rates into daily rates,
under which the employees asked for a
revision and, dispute arising, the ad-
justment board for that territory rem
dered a decision resulting in the un-
equal pay.
The Labor Board ruled to-day that
rule Sc was applicable only to en-
ployees heretofore paid on a weekly or
monthly basis, and that emploYees paid
on daily basis should continue to be
paid at the same daily rate. The high
er daily rate of the sevenday men,
caused by the application of Rule Sc,
was therefore reduced to coincide with
that of the six-day men.

Wilson Foundation
Plans Formed by
National Committee
Every State Represented at
First General Meeting.
With Dodge Presiding and
Trustees Are Suggested

Every state in the Union was repre-
scented in the first general meeting of
the National Committee of the Wood
row Wilson Foundation, held yesterday
at the Hotel Astor. The speakers were
Homer S. Cummings, Mrs. Charles E.
Simonson, Thomas L. Chadbourne and
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise Cleveland II.
Dodge presided and outlined the pur-
pose Of the movement as dedication
to the principles of the war President
Mr.. Cummings echoed this sentiment
n his address.
Also present at the gathering were
James ". Gerard, Henry Morgenthau
William G. Sharpe, former Ambassador
to France; Edward Box, Breckenridge
Long, William Gorham Rice, of Albany;
Edwin S. Gay. Louis Wiley and Charles
L. Miller.
Mr.. Cummings said the decade from
1910 had seen a revolution in political
thought out of which had come a liberal
movement, with Woodrow Wilson the
leader. He hailed as a source of pride
to Americans that through Mr.. Wilson
had developed the recognition of op-
portunity in international service.
when history records that decade"
said the speaker, there will be two
places to fill--one the place of honor
for Woodrow Wilson and one for those
who opposed him. The Senators who
signed the historic round robin took in
finite pains to immortalize their own
infamv.'
At the close Of the afternoon session
the committee on permanent organi-
cation recommended as the nucleus of
the board of trustees Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Cleveland H. Dodge, E. A.
Alderman, president of the University
of Virginia; William Allen White, of
Kansas, and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.

but no one can deny that he has now come
down. Clothing particularly is about at rock
bottom and If anyone is in need of clothing of
any kind he ought to buy at once. Shoes. dry
goods, the staple food products such as flour,
sugar. and even meats can be had much more
reasonably today than a few months ago.
BY buying now and helping to stabilize bust
ness confidence is restored which is the thing
that business needs more than anything else at
the present time. When the people show a
willingness to buy the merchant can place his
orders for the spring and summer trade. This
will start the mills going and Thereby put thou
sands Of hands back TO work.
II everyone will do a little toward bringing
about this settled condition it will not be long
before the present depression will be over. No
one need hold off thinking that prices will re-
turn to what they we're before the war. That is
no more to be expected than that wages will be
as low as they were before the war. Labor.
perhaps, is the biggest item that enters into the
cost Of manufacturing an article and if wages
are going to cost more it naturally follows that
the article when sold will cost more.
The EVENING NEWS recently published a
communication form one of the labor unions
in this city stating that while wages have been
ItuuCtu twenty HtA ANAeH fNANN $500
prevail. The facts show that this is not the
case. 1t is very probable that prices have been
reduced even more than twenty per cent. in re-
cent months.
Prices in Perth Amboy will be found, upon
investigation, to be as low. If not lower. than
any other place in this section of the country.
The merchants have realized the necessity of
cutting and an investigation will show that the
cutting has been done conscientiously in nearly
every instance.
The retailer has stood the brunt of the fault
finding about long enough. In all fairness one
should give the merchant credit for what he has
done in the way of price reducing. 1t is time
TO put away the crouch. take advantage of the
reduced prices that are being offered daily and
help stabilize business generally so as to put an
end to the present unemployment that has be-
come so general throughout the country.

THE BUDGET As ADOPTED.

The city budget for 1921 has been adopted
about as it was expected it would be. While
The aldermen have seen fit to let the city plan
appropriation remain at $500 they have given
the library appropriation a boost and if there is
any institution in the city that IS worthy of
al the money that is to be spent on it for the
coming year it is the library.
1t has been a hard task to meet the various
expenses Of the city under existing conditions
and at the same time meet the universal de-
mand for a reduction in taxes. 1t is natural TO
suppose that the aldermen would like to have
accommodated everybody and give everyone the
fun amount asked for. This, naturally, was i'm
possible. The aldermen have shown. good dis
elimination.
Because OF the Importance of the matter to
he city at large we believe that no mistake
would have been made If the appropriation for
he city plan had been doubled so that the COM
mission this year could have spent $4,000 in
pushing their work more rapidly. But at least
4 start can be made with the amount on hand
and. with the assurance of the aldermen that
they are back of the movement. it is safe TO
anticipate an adequate sum next year to con-
..nue the work if satisfactory progress is made
this year.
The puDllc library, WhlCh Is the ohIy dPpIo-
priation to be favored in the final revision, is
an institution that is doing a great work for
the city. The library is. in a sense, the poor
mans university. The present week is thrift
week with Benjamin Franklin as the great ex-
,mple. This reminds US that Benjamin Frank
in was the founder of the first circulating
library and was a lover of books. Much of his
sreatness is due to the books he read. If Frank
in had a library like the one now at the dis
posal of the boys OF Perth Amboy imagine what
lis satisfaction would have been.
With the money for the coming year now
'~arefully divided it is up to each department
o make the most Of the funds available that
he taxpayers who have to furnish the funds
may derive the greatest benefit. There is every
reason to feel satisfied with the program for the
:Oming year.

THE REAL HARBoR SOLUTION.

Newark and Jersey City nave just been en-
tertaining a group of United States senators
who are members of the on conf
merce. for the purpose of showing to them the
wonderful possibilities of Newark bay together
with the Passaic and Hackensack rivers.
No doubt the distinguished visitors from
Washington were duly impressed with what
they saw. but that does not mean that any ex-
ceptionally big appropriations for development
purposes will follow. Such junket trips have
been made before.
The main argument advanced for the de-
velopment of Newark bay is that it viii relieve
The congestion in New York harbor. But while
Newark bay might give greater docking ;acili-
ties its development would only tend to add to
the traffic there because vessels passing in or
cut of Newark bay would have to pass through
New York bay. This would include not only
the Narrows connecting the upper with the low
err New York bay. but, in the case of Newark
bay. it would require constantly passing to and
fro through that tortuous passageway known
as the Kill Won Kull.
OF course, If a real solution for the conges-
ton in New York is sought the proper place 10
look for it is in Rartan bay with it's broad,
straight fairway leading direct to Sandy Hook
eliminating the Narrows entirely. Here there
are ample railroad facilities and the terminals
would be within the metropolitan district not
over eighteen or twenty miles Of the metropolis
Itself.
Let Jersey City and Newark entertain all they
ike, but when it comes time to find the real So
luton TO New York's congestion problem they
will all have to turn to Perth Amboy and the
Raritan bay section.

HELP STABILIZE BUSINESS.

Prices are going down. The cost of living is
considerably less than it was a few months ago.
This fact can be proven. Persons who are in
need of things would do well TO buy them now.
n doing so they serve themselves as well as
aelp business generally. TO help business is to
help oneself. for when business is good, times
are necessarily prosperous and prosperous
times means money all around.
Prices. as a matter OF fact, have been tumb-
ing down much faster than they went up. 1t
took four or Ave years for them to reach the
peak. The way things have been going of late
the bottom has been reached in as many
months. We do not mean to say that every
thing is as cheap today as it eventually will be,
but there is every evidence that prices have at
least fallen in proportion with wages in most
Instances. \ comparison Of the advertisements
Of the local merchants published a few months
ago with those Of today shows this.
Ever since wages have been undergoing a re-
vision in the general readjustment OF things
We have heard much about the retailer taking
his loss along with all the rest. The retailer
may have been the last to come down. perhaps,

delegates were lynched; they were
in Jail, their weird to dree. for
crimes revolving pinched. And
masked men came. perhaps three
score. as grim as doom or fate. and
strung them TO a sycamore, which
groaned beneath their weight. And
law abiding people then sent up an
angry cry; 1t was a shame that UNI
tried men should thus unshriven die.
And l forsook my divers tasks to
rant around and rail, to "a those
brutal men in masks should all be

Whereat a most sardonic skate. who
stood at my right hand, remarked,
1.-THE people would not wait to see
those monsters canned. And so the
stars above us saw a scene OF death
and woe; the people weary of the
law. it is SO beastly slow. A iend is
tried and tried again. and tried an
other time. until the weary sons OF
men forget his ancient crime. And
if at last some prison grim should
hide his sodden form. some governor
will pardon him before his bunk is
