WAGE CUT EXTENDED
 TO 21O RAILROADS
Will Mean Saving of $4oo, COG, ,ooo For
 All Lines.

Chicago, July I.-Employees on
 virtually every railroad will feel the
 I2 per cent wage cut ordered by the
 railroad labor board to take effect July I, following supplemental de cision today extending the order to nearly 100 additional roads. The wage slash authorized on June | is to take effect today originally contemplated Io4 railroads although not all employees were affected on al roads. The addendum to that decision included 2Io roads, many of which were parties to the original lewiston but which returned to ask reductions for employees not covered in the first order.
 The reductions authorized were identical with those of the original order, the only change being the ad- dition of rates for marine workers in
 certain harbors and a section covering
 restaurant and dining car employees, whose wages were ordered reduc5~ by Go per cent of all increases received
 since February 2o, 1920.
 Except a few subsidiary lines,
 whose parent owners filed petitions
 for reduction, every railroad affected

MEMS ASSEMBLY OF NEW HAVEN M. E.
 RAPS OPEN SHOP
Declares It "Hypocritical Camou. hage" To Cypress Organized
 Labor.

The Mems Assembly of the Sum merheld Methodist Episcopal Church of New Haven, adopted at it's last meeting the following resolution:
 WHEREAS, we have seen the prop aganda which has taken place in the interest of the Open Shop" by cer- tain large business interests and mo- nopolies, and
 WHEREAS we have seen that in many instances this campaign is often a hypocritical camouhage by means of which some unprogressive business interests hope to have in every fact shops closed to organized labor, there by reVertlng to an outWOrn industrial order more characterized by its pag- anism than the spirit of Christianity, and
 WHEREAS, we are not unaware that labor unions and similar organi- cations have been actuated at times by spirit of selhshneSs; yet we be- heve this does not justify any part of the system of capitalism for adopting the same unchristian spirit-for two wrongs do not make a right-and
 WHEREAS we have learned of the work done by the Federation for So cial Service of the Methodist Episco- pal Church in opposing this false cry for the "open shop' accompanied by kindred efforts to undermine the work of the Y. M. C. A., the Federal Coun- Gil of Churches of Christ in America, and to embarass certain of our Meth odist ministers in their preaching of the gospel-efforts which is success ful, would lead to anarchy.
 BE IT RESOLVED, that we, mem bers of the Mems Assembly of the Summerfield Methodist Episcopal Church, record ourselves as emphati- cally opposed to this pagan spirit now rife in parts of our industrial life and that we heartily commend and ap- prove the said Federation for Social Service in respect to the gallant work of merit it is doing in helping our Methodist Episcopal Church be true to it's Christian ideals together with the efforts 1t is making to protect us from this harmful and insidious prop aganda.
 AND BE IT FURTHER RE SOLVED that a copy of these resolu- tions be sent to our Federation ac- companied by our heartiest wishes for it's continued success in keeping Meth odism clean from this unAmerican and unChristian spirit.

To the above application, as re- cedved this week by F. c. Ayres, Gov ernment director of the Savings Divi- sion, First Federal Reserve District, there were affixed the names of Post master Roland M. Baker, Assistant Postmaster W. F. Hurley and 1476 employees of the Boston Postal Dis Gfct. The charter, which was prompt V granted, represents the largest single War Savings Society in the en- tire United States
 When the task of organizing the society was undertaken by Miss Mar guerfte W. Stoddard, one of the field seer etaIies of the Savings Division, some weeks ago, it was feared that it would prove very difficult Miss StOddard went about the work systematically and energetically and accomplished what she set out to do, swmounting all difficulties, one after another. Postmaster Baker and the different departments under him cooperated sp1endidly The Carriers Association, through its president, John S. Foley, was one of the most helpful agenc1es. The sub-stations fell in line with surprising speed The main office was handled by means Of mass meetings, after which came the canvass for signatures. The can vaSs was made under supervision of the super6ntendents.
 Following a report covering the re- suit Of this organization, the follow ing letter was dictated by Roland M. Baker, Boston, Postmaster:
 ~AEr. F. C. Ayres, Director
 Savings Division,
 262 Federal Building,
 Boston. Mass.
 Dear MT. Ayres:-
 I wish to congratulate you on the success of the Savings organization which has been formed among the employees of the Metropolitan BOs- ton Postal District.
 This work has my unqualified ap- proval, and I consider it an honor to head the list in this Savings Society.
 I sincerely feel a great deal of
  that many other postomces will fol- bow the example set by Boston
 With best wishes for your con- ttnued success, am
 Yours very truly,
 (Signed) ROLAND M. BAKER, .. Postmaster"
 The formation of this splendid so cfety has been %far-reaching in it's effect, for already the post offices in the larger cities in each State in the district have begun to follow suit and have undertaken the formation of Sayfue=s Societies within their respec- tive examinations Among the cities where this work is in progress are, Dover, N H., (where they have a 1oO% society,", Portsmouth, N. H., Concord, N. H., Manchester, N. H., Lowell, Mass, and Providence. R. l. Reports of sales whicL are beginning to come in to headQ Larters from these new societies prove conclusively that the employees of the Post Office Department really believe in the se- curities which they sell as safe and worthwhile means of investment, for there can be DO better evidence of their faith than the fact that they are themselves, putting their savings into them
 The reports from the Boston Postal Society already show sales amount ing to upwards of $1200. Owing to rhe fact that the work of organizing many of the sub stations is of so re- cent a date that they have had no op- portunity to report, these figures are most encouraging.
