"RAILROADING" THE PUBLIC.

Considerable progress been made toward the resora
ton of pre-war conditions
The price of nearly every article of has fallen
preceptby and in not few instances the present price Is
below the pre-war price.
Foodstuffs sell at low figure and the price OF rn COM
modities is lower than for
There one big stumbling block in the way of price
duction and that is the high wage of labor
This particularly true of railroad labor The wages of
factory and mill employees of farm and ranch labor which
high point during the have been reduced but
of railroad employees which higher than any
other class with working conditions which enabled them
either short hours obtain greatly increased

railroad labor like other labor will receive an honest days
pay for full days work, no less and no more.
The national agreements should be abolished Transport
tation economics impossible while they last This is
true of working conditions of wages.
For example if anything should go wrong with locomo

S1.70 an hour for doing it. This is only of many.
Is it wonder the railroad expenses consuming
nearly all the earnings that in spite of increased rates rail-
road credit toerng and that there nsistent demand
among the we'll informed public for general revision of
wages and working conditions and the cancellation of all
national agreements in this respect?
1t has been sad and from the foregoing there appears
much for believing it, that in making the national

GOV. SMALL IS
READY TO SUB
Nit TO ARREST
May Surrender in Chi
cago to Police Chief
Fitzmorris
(Associated Press)

Springfield, July 27.-Warrants
for the arrest of Governor Len Small
Of Illinois on charges Of embezzle-
ment and conspiracy to defraud the
state, were placed in the hands OF
Sheriff Mester Of Sangamon county
this morning. The sheriff immed-
lately sent a message to Attorney AL
bert F. Fink, the governors counsel
in Chicago, informing him it would
not be necessary for the governor to
submit to arrest in Chicago today but
that arrangements for bonds could
be made when the executive return
ed to the capital.
Chicago, July Ex-Governor Small
and legal advisers went into confer
cnce to plan the next step in their
fight against trial. They were not
at the office of Chief Attorney Fink,
where the lawyer said in his tele-
gram to the Sangamon sheriff last
night the governor would be ready
to surrender today.
One rumor was that the governor
might surrender to Chief of Police
Fitzmorris and permit them to tele-
graph the sheriff to come and get
him. If Sangamon county authori-
ties can be persuaded to make the
arrest in Chicago 1t is understood all
arrangements have been made to
apply to the Cook county court for
n writ Of habeas corpus.
