Vice President of Pennsylvania Not for
Reduction of Wages Now But Insists
on Elimination of Waste in Operation

CHICAGO, Jan. 3l-lmmediate abro-
CATION OF the national agreement between
railroads and employees was proposed to
the railroad labor boaId today by W. w,
Atterbury. chairman of the labor commit
tee of the Association 81 Railway Exccu-
tives and vice president OF the PenusyI-
vanm railroad. The solvency, of the rail
roads of the country must be assured by
reduction i'm operating expenses, he de
clared
Unless prompt action afforded relief
to the roads, he said. many of them might
be forced into insolvency. The labor
board can prevent this catastrophe by de
clariHg that the national agreement rules
and working conditions coming over from
war period are terminated at once.
The national agreement rules and work
mg conditions forced or the railroads as
war measures caused gross waste and IN
efficiency. / estimate that the elimination
Of TINS waste would reduce railway operat-
ing expenses at least S30U.000,0U0 per year.
Ii would be far better to save this sum by
restoring conditions of efficient and eco
nomlcal operation than to reduce wages.
We believe that as the wages OF railroad
employees were the last 10 go mp they
should be the last TO come down, but we
do insist that for an ample wage an honest
day 5 work shall be gwen. 1t rests en-
tirely with your board To determine with
in the next few days whether this whole
situation shall drift into chaos and or

at the price OF railroad bankruptcy, hnan-
cial shock and still wider unemployment,

JAPAN LEADING DOUBLE LIFE"
 SAYS T0Y0DA
Younger Generation Has Adopted Occidental Modes of Living While Older People Stick to Kimonos and Chopsticks.

Philadelphia, Nov. II. = Japan is leading a double life.
 Imperial Minister of Railways of the Island Empire. who has been visitor in Philadelphia But the double life has no sinister meaning---rather humorous one, for it is the product of the never-ending battle between the traditions of Nippon and the practicalities of the Occident.
 Even old man High Cost of Living fashion, according to MT. Toyoda, se- lecting the kinono as the prime ob- ject of his attack. Once the regula- tion dress of every respectable Jap driven out of the islands by the American ready-made suit. which, in addition to being cheaper than the native garment, allows the wearer to work unhampered by Ioose-flowing folds.
 Even the children are now being clothed in rompers, overa1ls and other Yankee clothing, which gives the maximum amount of freedom in play; combined with ease of washing.
 Prefer Chairs to Mats
 "But it is in other phases of home life that the clash between the old and the new is being most severely feH," said MT Toyoda. Many of the younger generation have gone to in Europe and America and become accustomed while there to sitting in chairs, thereby acquiring an aversion to return to the Oriental fashion of Squatting on a mat.
 "As the syounger person returning to Nippon will not squat, so it is equally out of the question for the older people to sit up straight in high backed chairs and preside at tables The solution has been found in fur nishing rooms to suit both genera tions, which, although 1t separates the family at social functions, is more II L~ @f involved. This makes for jazz par ties in one part of the house and dig nified recreation in the other.
 'NThe changes wrought by contact with the Occident have affected the family meal, as well, making it now practically impossible for a Japanese household to dine together.
 Young Japs Like Roast Beef
 During their trips to Europe and America the younger generation have acquired a fondness for roast beef mashed potatoes, French pastry and other articles of diet incompatible egg and chicken combinations. Even tea. that firm1y-rooted institution of Japanese life, is being threatened by the introduction of coffee or more ex- citing beverages Again, this leads to a split in the home and necessitates the cook leading a double hfe,' un- less the family Is wealthy enough to employ two chefs to meet the tastes of the older folk and the younger gournands.
 'sIn table service the conflict is again in evidence. Chopsticks for the elder: knives forks and spoons for the younger members are seen, as we'll as a variety of dishes and table ware Soup is now consumed to two melodies in different languages. Not only has the 'double-hfe' problem reached a point where it becomes serious in its social and economic aspect, but it forms one of the chief items in the upward march of the cost of living in the land of the Ris- ing Sun"

 Washington, Nov. 11-Within one hundred and seven years two great congresses have met to weigh the fate of the world. In November, 1874, there assembled in Vienna that con Eress of nations which remade the map of Europe after the setting of Napoleons star. Of that congress Frederick von GentZ wrJte to the master intriguer. Metternich, fol- lows:
 Those who at the time of the as- sembEng of the congress at Vienna had thoroughly understood the na- ture and objects of this congress could hardly have been mistaken about it's course, whatever their opin- ion about its results might be. The grand phrases of reconstruction of social order regeneration of the po- litica1 system of Europe "a lasting peace founded on a just division of strength etc, etc, were uttered to tti tianquilize the people and to give an air of dignity and grandeur to this solemn assembly; but the real pur- pose of the congress was to divide inmongst the conquerors the spells taken from the vanquished." Did the congress which met at Versailles differ from the congress of fNienna about which von Gentz wrote ?

 GAS FOR ALL
 HOME HEATING

? Chicago, Nov. II. Artificial gas for full heating requirements of the nation, both in homes and industry, is an impending reality, and a revolu- tionary change in heating, as sweep ing as that which abolished the-coal cook stove from the city kitchen, is under way and will come just soon as the gas industry can overcome ex- ising problems, according to the in- dustrial fuel comimttee of the Amer ican Gas Association, in it's report to the annual convention of that body here today.
 The report predicted that the gas industry will become the biggest pub lie service institution and coupled this with the statement that the compa- nfes serving the nation must prepare tn emselveS for a gigantic building program such as will permit it to take on billion dollars of new bus of providing heat for American homes and for industry. Complete diSuse of solid fuel in cities, doing away with smoke and grime and the annual fuel pro oblemS were declared by the com mittee to be in she off1ng.
 We can now with all certainty look upon the time when gas busine will be the biggest of our public ser fuel requirements in every city, town and municipality" said the report submitted by H. O. Loe1Aen of New York, chairman of the industrial fuel commi tee of the association.
 With proper revision of rate and service standards. coupled witk the rapid progress in the gas making art now under way, these things will be possible, the report says.
 "Entrance of gas in all competitive fuel markeSs, with its possible com plete utilization for heating purposes by all industry of the nation.

 Improper rate schedules, not con- ducive to the best interests of all gas users, and obsolete restrictions p1aced through regulation upon the indus try, are the big hamperfng influences at present, the report says, charging that America is not taking advantage Of lessons learned during the war Inventive genius is doing its full share in solving the fuel problems the report adds, reciting vast recent progress made in producing gaseous fuel
 With success in the deveIopn ent of proper industrial rates and more efficient appliances, we shall be ab1e

WIDEN RIVER TO BALk
 MORE PUEBLO FLOODS
Missouri Pacific Railroad Gives City 7O-Foot Strip of Land Along Arkansas Channel Will Be Dug Deeper.

Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 1.-The first practical step in an effort to minimize the danger from further disastrous floods, similar to the one that en- gulfed this city early in June of this year, was taken here when an agree ment was reached between the Mis- souri Pacific Railroad and Pueblo city and county officials whereby the railroad company will turn over to the city a strip of land in its local yards, which will be utilized in wfd- entng the channel of the Arkansas river.
 The land relinquished by the rail- road Is at a spot where the Arkansas broke through on the night of June 8, resulting in the worst flood the city has ever known, causing a property loss of upward of S15.00O,000 and taking a. death toll of approximately 200.
 The land extends from a point on the south bank of the Arkansas river to the eastern limits of the railroad yards. Engineering experts are planning, with the acquisition of this land, to cut a channel at the egreSS of the Arkansas river from the city that will be 70 feet wider than it was before the June floods and about 100 feet wider than the channel of the river as 1t passes through the central section of Pueblo.
 Below the new channel present ob- structions will be removed. and dredging will start at once that will put the rivers course near natural bluffs on its north bank. The Missouri Pacific Railroad already has con- structed a heavy 'tslag'' en1banlzm ent to protect its tracks along the south bank of the river. and a 1evee suf1- ciently strong to protect against rag ing torrents will be built.
 Work of reconstruction throughout the city has progressed rapidly since the devastation of last summer.
