"7ASHINGTON.- A big United
w States army-potential and not
actual-is what the war experts
are striving for. Two lessons of the
World war, learned at heavy cost, are
sharply emphasized in a War depart
ment bulletin giving the first official
picture of the new national defense
structure projected in the reorganized
army of the United States.
One lesson comes direct from the
battlefields of France. 1t is that eff
cient staff work is vital to modern
military operations, and with it goes
the contention that staff functions
cannot be learned over night.
The other comes from the wartime
din and confusion of the centralized
training camps at home. 1t is that
efficient mobilization of the nations
fighting strength can be carried out
only as decentralzed process

One night after an unusually long
sojourn near his favorite bar, Mr..
Hogg navigated painfully home and at
last reached his bedroom. Mrs. Hogg
was waiting for him.

appraisal of his condition, 81 am

BOARD
TO CUT WAGES
TO AFFECT MILLION UHskiLLEO
WoRKMEN ON ALL ROADS
IN UNITED STATES.
BIG WAGE CUT JULY /
AMOUNT OF DECREASE WILL BE
MADE PUBLIC FIRST OF
NEXT MONTH.
western se-sp.p MON s,-. s.rrie,I


Chicago, May Is. - The United
States Railroad Labor Board has an
aounced its intention of revising down
ward wages of more than 1,OOO,OOO
unskiIled railworkers, effective July 1.
The amount of the decrease will be
made public on June l.
The board also announced that ii
would hold hearings June regarding
proposals by the roads to decrease the
wages of other classes of employees,
and would also make its decision in
these cases, effective on the same
date. A similar decision on skilled
workers would affect approximately
100000 men.
The announcement, which said pre-
vailing conditions justify to some eI-
tent, yet to be determined, readjust-
ment downward of wages" was I'M
expected, and came only few hours
after the close of the hearings, which
have been in progress since early in
April.
On July 20, 1920, the board increased
the pay of all classes of railway EN-
about 5000, 100000 year. Several
months ago several roads announced
that they could no longer operate I'M
der this wage award, and announced
pay reductions averaging about 20 per
cent for unskilled employees. The
workers appealed to the board, which
decided that the roads could not make
summary reductions, but must first
hold conferences with their men, and
then, II no agreement could be reached,
submit the case to the board.
Practically every large road then
held conferences with its unskilled
employees and when the employees re-
fused to accept cuts, carried the case
to the board. About ninety-eight cases
were thus appealed and the board de-
cided to hear them as Il unit.
The roads pleaded that they were
being forced to pay more for labor
than they could employ it for in the
open market that reduction in the
cost of living justified reduction in
wages, that they were being forced to
operate in many cases at Il loss and
that they wished to reduce their rates
for the benefit of the public, but could
not do so while forced to pay war
time scale to laborers.
The employees charged that the
financial embarrassment of the roads
was due to gross msmanagement;
that increased rentals had practically
nullified any decreases in other neces-
sites and that the wages were still
below those paid in other lines Rail
way officials expressed themselves as
being pleased at the boards statement
and expressed the opinion that the
same conditions which it was found
applied to unskilled labor would also
be applied to skilled workers.
Railroad officials here were averse
to commenting at this time. Most of
them said they preferred to await the
boards announcement of the amount
of the reduction. Hale Holden, presi-
dent of the Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy, said the boards statement was
one of the encouraging signs that point
to return to n basis on which the
railroads could he operated more ad-
vantageously
Representatives of the employees re-
fused to comment on the boards an
nouncement until they could study it
carefully.
