RAILROAD WAGE ADJUSTMENT.

LOSE upon the abollshmen by tn railroads OF their
" general wage committee comes the announcement
from several Of the that the question Of reduction in
wages is to be taken up at with their employees.
Conspicuous the action OF the board OF directors OF
the Pennsylvania system nsructng the officers OF the
road to give notice at Of the intention OF the com
pany 70 effect salary cut TO accord with economic
dlons The factors be considered in arriving at new
wage rates
1.-THE scale wages paid for similar kinds OF work in
other Industries. The relation between and the
cost Of living The hazards OF employment The degree
OF responsibility The training and skill required The
character and regularity Of employment"
In addition to those general considerations special at
tention viii be given all readiustmens to factors that
differ as between localities served by the Penn

II is apparent that the matter OF wage eadiustment is
to be approached with determination to fix rates
that will fairly reflect the economic conditions that now
prevail.
Who is there among those directly affected by the
cut but will admit that the standards to the de-
creases are not eminently just?
Certainly workers in other industries whose wages
have been adjusted by the OF supply and demand have
no desire to have special privileges accorded to the rail
road employees.
The president Of one Of the brotherhoods says that III
there is 70 be peace the railroad industry prevention
Of what the Cummins-Esch act calls an interruption Of

There has been intimation from the roads that the

that law may assured that Congress never intended
70 enact and did enact statue that placed one
class Of workers the United States in position where
they could rates OF wages out OF all proportion 10

Il is true that labor board created by that ac

sells seem to prefer the theory OF
Danish origin and say with pride
that they are descended from the
Vikings. They trace their descent
back to Sveider, a Dane who lived
in 760. One Of his descendants was
Hugh de Rossell. whose son. Ralph
de Rossell. married Agnes Dolores
and established himself and his
family on English soil.
Some Of the Rossells settled in
Wales, giving their name to a cas-
tie and town of the name there.
The meaning Of the name is said
to be rock OF water The idea is
that It is a compound OF roz. mean
ing rock, and the termination "seF
a synonym for the old French "eau, &"
meaning water.
A descendant OF Hugh de Rossen
was John Rossell, an officer in
Cromwell's army who came to this
county in 1860 and founded a large
family of the name in Long Island
and New Jersey.
The most distinguished modern
bearer Of this name was Elizabeth
Peul Edouard, Chevalier de Rossell.
He was born in 1865. and became a
famous navigator. He was one of
the founders of the French geo.
graphical society in 1921.

As the Senate record stands shows that all the

while all the Democratic Senator's voted against it,
That record, however, will fool intelligent and dis

The Republican vote represents Republican Senatorial

WOULD BRING JOY TO
RECOVERING VETS

An appeal is being made for aid
in providing the one hundred in
capacitated veterans of the European
war. who are enrolled in the agricul-
tural course at the University OF
Delaware, with athletic equipment
and music. furniture. books ana
magazines for their lounge room at
the college.
The former soldiers made il plain
that they do not ask charity, but
merely cooperation in whatever ef-
fort they make to raise money. One
Of their plans is q benefit perform
ance at local theatre, the arrange
ments for which are to be made
later.
The men are being fitted at the
institution to care for themselves by
vocational urses In different
branches Of agriculture. Their ma
circulation fee is paid for by the
Government, and is under the direct
supervision Of Raymond M. Upton.
The Rehabilitation Division is
part Of the university and under the
instituton's president.
The agricultural course is of
two years duration, and the students
are given every advantage, for If one
is advanced sufficiently, he may en-
ter the regular course at the uni
versity. Forty agricultural courses
in all, cover the curriculum Of the
former soldiers. At the conclusion
of his course each will be given a
certificate of efficiency allowing him
to practice his profession.
They have a lounge room at the
school. but IL is so far insufficiently
furnished. and the men are without
any music in the room. A talking
machine is their first aim, but since
they must pay their board and buy
what clothes they need from their
government allowance, they are
finding it difficult to raise the neces-
sary funds.
In athletics they lack not only the
equipment, but a coach as well. The
athletic director at the college, they
say is too much occupied with teams
from the institution TO devote any
time to the soldiers.
