sharp reduction in the 4Sh cents an
hour scale paid to 10000 unskilled labor
ers by the New York Central lines is In
contemplation by the road. meeting
of the representatives OF these workmen
has been called for March in New
York. when the facts will be presented to
the men and an endeavor to reach an
agreement as to Just how far the cut
shall extend will be made April l
!s the tentative date for the read5ust-
nent to be put into effect
Oficials Of the New York Central lines
said yesteday that 1t has become neces-
sary to reduce the wages OF this class or
labor, and that II is their hope that an
amicable adjustment will be reached
with the men. If not, the problem will
be presented to the United States Labor
Board.
The order which has gone out arects
at this time only the New York Central
lines, including the Lake Shore ana
Michigan Southern. 1t does not include
the Big Four, the Michigan Central and
other component parts OF the system.
The problem will be handled by the ex-
ccutives of these lines individually. fol-
owing the lead taken by the parent ROAD.
Track workers, car laborers, platform
workmen, storehouse men, freight nan
d,ers and all laborers of similar class
viii be Included. officials OF the road say
Approximately $1,000 men are employed
on the entire system IN TINS class oi
work, and ultimately all will be afected
by whatever decision is reached at the
conference.
Officials of the road viii propose that
the rate Of pay be reduced from the
straight 4sh cents per hour to fair
differential above the going rate for Ia
Dor in each section Of the country. This
rate. they will aver, ranges at the pres
ent time from 3S to 1914 cents.
The cut proposed by the New York
Central officials is the first this road has
formulated since the start of deflation.
IT is along the same lines as those laid
down by the Erie Railroad. which re-
duced its unskiled labor from 4S "a cents
Der hour to 38 and SO cents per hour.
The laborers disagreed after conference
with the officials. and the case is now
before the Railroad Labor Board. In
the meanwhile and pending final deci-
sion by the board the Erie has been d.
rected to pay the old scale.
The action of the New York Central
follows directly Instructions from the
board that any change In the scale OF
wages should be reached. first, by con-
ference with employees. ard If readjust-
rrent IN this manner is not successful
then by appeal to the board for trial
OF the case on its merits.
II is estimated that the reduction pro-
posed by the New York Central Railroad
In its urskiiled labor payroll would ef-
feet a saving OF approximately $1,000
600 per month, or about 81 per day per
man.

DIAMOND MINE IN
 ARKANSAS ONLY
 ONE IN AMERICA

MURPHREESBOR Ark, March 17-The only diamond mine thus far discovered on the Western Hemis phere is located in Pike County. Ark, in which this hamlet is situ- ated. The mine is two and half miles south of here.
 Tho diamonds are found in pipe, the crater of an extinct volcano, which ages ago boiled up through the surface, had it's terrific heat chilled by the waters of an inland sea, and left bits of carbon scattered throughout the peridotite which now fills the crater to be pressed into diamonds by the con traction of the rock. The perido- tite forms the original matrix of the diamond, and thus far the only diamonds found in the Western Hem isphere in their matrices are those found in Pike County.
 Diamonds have been found in some twenty five states, in Canada and South America, but always in river beds where, geologists surmise, they have been washed by the waters, or in places where it is presumed they have been deposited by glacial action.
 The first Arkansas diamond was found in 1906 by John Huddleston, then owner of the farm on which the sixty-acre pipe" is located, by ac- cident. Huddleston observed out cropings of gray-green rock, since classed as peridotite, and came to the conclusion that his hillsides con tained valuable mineral, probably copper After pecking around with out finding anything that looked to him like mineral. picked up crys- tai, and then one day showed it to some friends in Murphreesboro. A Little Rock ieweler pronounced it to be diamond and to make sure had verifications by New York jewel CTS and jewel experts.
 The mining operations in Arkan- sas, for several years a: least. will be far different from what they are in the South African mines. although tho formations are the same. Tn South Africa deep shafts are sunk and the pcrodite is brought to the surface and spread upon drying floors for periods ranging from six to eighteen months. The rock has the peculiar quality of disintegrating when exposed to the air In Arkan- sas, however, except for few places the peridotite has already disinte grated to depth of about twenty feet, and mixed with vegetable mat ter formed a sticky clay. called "gumbo" locally This over burden of "gumbo' will be worked before blasting operations are started.
