Cuts to U. S. Beard.

NEW YORK. March 12.-The Erie Rail
road today issued a general order re-
storing wages Of common laborers, which
were reduced Jan. 81, 1921. The order
also restored the six day week rate Of
salaried employees, who were put on five
day rate a few weeks ago. This includes
every one on the monthly pay roll, from
the president down.
The matter Of wages now Will be sub
mtted formally to the United States La
Dor Board, which recently criticized the
Erie for cutting wages without its con
sent.
When high labor costs, high rates for
money and high prices for materials have
been reduced railroad fares and freight
rates should go down. President F. d.
Underwood Of the Erie declared.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
is exercising a constant and intelligent
supervision over the accounts Of railways
and when IN their opinion a reduction in
rates~and fares IS equitable there is no
doubt It Will be put into effect.
The people OF the country were never
so securely protected against overly high
rates than they are at present"
