Secretary DENLY Favors Super
intendent and Athletics With
General Permission.
By HUGH r. RILEY.

ANNAPOLIS. Nd, March 19.-Gen-
eral permission has been given by
Secretary of The Navy DENLY to the
superintendent of the Naval Academy
Admiral Scales, to authorize one trip
away from Annapolis in every sport
in which the Navy participates. Per-
mission Is granted the Navy athletes
TO schedule these games irrespective
OF the annual contests with West
Point and the American Henley row.
ing race. Never before in the his
tory of athletics at the academy has
such permission been obtained.
Those in charge of athletics have
never been refused requests from
former secretaries but the recent or
der paves the way for competition
away from the Academy and still
opens the possibilities for special per-
missica for more than the one con-
test.
1t is pointed out here that with the
new order in effect the Navy will be
able u get competition on foreign
fields which has been greatly desired.
The present superintendent known
to favor athletics and competitive
sports for the Academy is now au-
thorized to use his discretion in
granting permission to the Navy
for permission.
On April 20, under the new order.
the Naval Academy relay team will
compete in Philadelphia in the big
Penn relay carnival. 1t is expected
that the tennis and other teams not
already arranged for will make trips.
The baseball team will play in Balti.
more this season in a doubleheader in
adition to going to West Point for
the annual game with the Army.
The playing of one game away In
each sport is expected to put the
Navy on considerably better terms
with some of the leading college
teams which have not appeared here
before.
In addition to this the fact that
the superintendent is in favor Of
adopting just as strict eligibility
rules as other colleges in order that
Navy teams may meet in competition
on even terms is expected to find
favor in the collegiate world.
Navy athletes as well as those in
terested in the teams here are look
ing forward to some first class COM
petition in athletics on foreign fields.
That the Navy is big drawing card
is unquestioned and the fact that the
Navy can go away AT lest once q year
in every branch of sport is expected
to materially add to the attractive
ness Of the program in the academy.

RAILROAD WAGE
SCALE REDUCED
Labor Board Decision Allows a
General Cut of IL Per Cent.
s4OO,OOO,OOO Off PAY ROLLS
New Scale, Effective July I, Eventually
viii Apply to All the Lines In the
country-Leaves 10 Per Cent Over
Pre-War Rates.

An average IL per cent wage cut
for railroad employees. which viii
chop $400000,000 year off the
carriers pay rolls, was announced by
the United States railway labor board
In decision applying 10 104 roads.
The new scale becomes effective
July |, the date set for abrogation of
the national working agreements.
Eventually the new wage rate will
apply to every road in the country.
Potentially the decision lifts $780,
100000 Off the annual railroad pay
rolls OF the country. That is, IL IL
were applied TO all employees under
normal employment of class ]. roads
the aggregate reduction would be S4OO,-
100000 q year But some roads have
sought cuts in the wages of common
labor only; others have included other
groups; some have asked wage slashes
for all classes--there Is no Uniformity
In this respect. The boards decision
sets up new uniform scales for all
groups of employees, from track re-
pairers to engineers and conductors,
and tells each road involved to apply
the new scales TO the special groups
whose pay 1t has asked to be reduced.
The next step Is expected to be a
move on the part of the roads individ-
ually to have all the new schedules
applied to them. When this Is done
1t will lop S40O,OO0,O00 off the yearly
pay roll. according to the boards mem
orandum. Thus 1t does not wipe out
all the increase granted by the board
last year, when 100000. 900 was added
to the annual pay sheets by a wage
boost effective May 1. 1920.
To put 1t another way, the labor
board last year granted an average
wage increase Of % per cent; now 1t
orders an average wage decrease Of IL
per cent.
