TO CUT WAGES OF 1,000,-
600 UNSKILLED R. r. MEN
u. S. Railroad Labor Board Announ-
ces Its Intentions.

Chicago, May 17.-The United
States Railroad Labor Board late to-
day announced its intention OF re-
vising downward the wages of moi
than 100000 unskilled rail workers,
effective July 1. The amount OF the
decrease will be made public on June
1.
At the same time the board an
nounced that it would hold hearings
on June 3, regarding proposals by the
roads to decrease the wages of other
classes of employees, and would also
make it's decision in these cases effec-
tive on the same date.
A similar decision in the case OF
skilled workers would mean cut in
the pay of practically every railway
worker in the country on July 1, and
would affect approximately 100000
men, it was pointed out.
The announcement today, which
said that prevailing conditions JUS
tify to some extent, yet to be deter
mined, readjustment downward OF
wages" was entirely unexpected and
came only few hours after the close
of the hearings which have been in
progress since early in April. Neither
the roads nor the representatives of
the unions had expected any announ-
cement for several weeks.

100 BBL. OF OIL Or
DERED FOR C'PORT
Main and High Streets to Be
Oiled and Possibly Other
Streets.

One hundred barrels of oil have
been ordered to oil those streets in
Cloverport. where the business men
scribed enough money to pay for the
oil.
Mr.. o. T. Odewalt who started the
movement, has collected sufficient
funds to oil Main street from Nolte's
corner to the corner of the Golden
Rule store, and up Elm street in front
of The Breckenridge News Office. He
has also received subscriptions from
the residents on High street in the
East End, including all of those from
Payne's corner to the Presbyterian
church.
1t is very likely that the residents
from Mr.. John A. Ross corner to J.
c. Notes home will take up the
movement and oil that street, and
those living on River street contem-
plate doing likewise. Should River
street be oiled, the city's main
thoroughfare will be practically free
OF dust this summer.
The business men contributed 15c
per lineal foot to oil Main and Elm
streets, while the residence sections
will be oiled at SC per lineal foot
as only the center of the streets are
to be oiled.
The oil is being furnished from
Powers we'll in Hawesville and ship
ped here by the Cloverport Ferry Co.
The city bears the expense of hav-
ing the oil put on the streets.
