RAIL WAGE CUT TO SAVE
 ROADS 400 MILLION
Rail Boards 12 Per Cent Reduction. Effective July 1, Applies to Class
 One Lines.

Noo' 'uHe 1t. - inc Un1teQ States labor board today extends it's wage reduction effective July to, to nearly every large road in the coun- try. The reduction averages 12 Der cent. The boards order today cov- cred 21O roads.
 The new wage decision of the United States Railroad Labor Board will make a reality of the estimated four hundred million dollar annual sav- ings expected when the boards 12 per cent cut. effective July 1. is applied to all employees, on all railroads. known az class 1 carriers. The decision, drawn up as an addendum to the wage reduction order of June 1, adds prac- tically every railroad in the class 1 division to the original list of 1O4 roads authorized to make 12 per cent reduction.
 When the reduction order was issu- ed, it was estimated that, if applied to all employees of all class 1 roads, it would Top approximately four hundred million dollars from the country's rail- road bill.
 The new decision will make this cut possible, by ordering reduced wages for employees not included in the orig esinal case and also by including en- ployes on roads which were not par ties to the first hearing.
 Immediately following the announce ment of the boards wage cut on June 1, roads from every section of the country poured in their application to the labor board for authority to make similar reductions.
 A hearing set for June included a total of 104 roads and in the next two weeks 61 more submissions were made and included in a hearing for June 20. A few roads which had not included all classes of employees in their first petitions for reductions came in with the remaining classes in the last hear ing.
 Many of the roads which asked re- auctions for only part of their em- ployes at the original hearing in May came back with application to cover all employees in these two later hear ings. Virtually every road in the country affected by the labor boards six hundred million dollar wage award of July, 1920. was included in one or more of the three hearings.
 Following the 12 per cent reduction. which was generally unsatisfactory to the roads, the carriers returned to the board with added insistence that the 1920 wage award be wiped out. The board, however. was not inclined to change it's scale of reduction deter mined in the July decision and mere ly added to that decision employees in volved in the subsequent hearings.
 While no definite returns have been announced from the referendum be- ing taken by all the railway unions on acceptance or rejection of the IF per cent cut, it was expected that confer ence here on July 1 would agree to ac- cept the boards decision without an Interruption of traffic.

yesterday told the House investigating
committee. OF the steel ships 97S
are in active service, 7S5 to foreign
ports. 131 temporarily inactive and
PSI tied up. All but ten of the
boards 2S2 wooden craft also are
tied up. Capt. Foley said.
AlonZo Tweedale, general controller
of the Shipping Board, was on the
stand during the first hours yesterday
under cross-examination by members
of the committee regarding his testi-
mony given yesterday. The questions
merely sought odds and ends of in
formation on which the committee
desired to make the record complete
and clear. Mr.. Tweedale was asked to
put into the record many documents
and letters confirming his testimony
that the Shipping Board now has an
efficient audit system which was lack

charge.
When Mr.. Tweedale had finished his
testimony the members OF the COM

Credit.

This year win bring unsettled
times, because of readjusting;
the merchant princes need their
dimes, and they'll be slow at
trusting. They'll not give credit
left and right, as lately they've
been doing, and frowns will
greet the slow-pay wight who'd
buy a plug of chewing. And
many men this year, guess,
will need a slice OF. credit, for
readjustment brings distress
the banking sharps have said it.
Now he who's kept his stand-off
bright will know the easy sled
ding, and merchant princes will
delight to sell him books or bed
ding. However stringent money
is, the lamps for him are burn
ing; to see his good old honest
phiz the merchants all are
yearning. And if he asks to buy
on time a grindstone or a ham,
mer, the dealers on his person
climb, with glad, exultant
clamor. There'll never be a time
so tight that men of reputation
for having always acted right
can't get accommodation. A
reputation as good pay is better
far than rubies, and men who do
not think that way must travel
with the boobies. The melan-
choly days are here, suspended
stick" will daunt them; and bills
they should have paid last year
will rise like ghosts and haunt
them. WALT MASON.
