Various Ores Assayed.

The assay furnace is already prov ing it's worth in mining developments. Elmer Bird engineer in charge of the laboratory. announced yesterday that 10 samples of Arkansas ore had ai- ready been run through the furnace, four of which showed high percent age of gold and silver and one trace of platinum Many other samples ot ore including gold, silver. platinum and copper bearing ore. have been re eeived at the laboratory, Mf. Bird said, and will be assayed soon.
 Services of the furnace have al- ready revealed several rich deposits of ore. believed hy mining engineers to have a vast commercial value. ln- cluded among these deposits is one said ta lie in Pulaski county, the eX= act location of which the owners have refused to make public. which ac- cording to the test made by Mr Bird. is worth approximately S1So a ton The deposit is large enough to be worth several millions of dollars at this rate, Mr Bird said.
 An assay of sample of ore from Il der osit near Batesyille showed to contain gold and platinum worth about S14O ton; one from Clehurne county assayed about SS5 ton; and another from Garland county showed silver worth about Si0 ton.
 Mir. Bird said that in his travels over the state he had observed de cided change in the attitude of cap ital concerning the states potential mining wealth He predicts in the next few years the investment of mil lions of dollars to develop mineral depos Is. transforming Arkansas into one of the great mining centers of the world.

OUR RC,~ ATEST BALANCED
 DKAWBRIDGE

TN ONE way it is surprising ana lh
 smother it isn't that in the most unexpected of places one often VIII find the greatest of its kind. TO illustrate, across the Chicago riVer' which is not nationally-Kho"h stream, at 16th street, Chicago one Is bit astonished to find single lift. counterbalanced bridge that IS one of the marvels of engineering ana the longest and greatest structure ol the kind in the world
 At this point an exceedingly heaNy traffic interchange takes place between several large railroad systems and, at the same time, the traffic on this busy little river is such that the con tinuous flow of the rail treffic IS Ire ouently interrupted by the passing or ships.
 This condition necessarily called for a structure which could be opened and closed in the minimum of time ana was, at the same time, suitable to accommodate the traffic conditions.
 The ger is bridged by one enor- nous spai about 265 feet long, whlch, standing on end, is as high as 22- story building and weighs approx1- mately $500 tons. One end is station ary. the other Is raised and lowered by electric power--only 1& r<dtes being required to open or ~ose the span
 The bridge is single span, carries a double track, successfully meets the peculiar requirements imposed upon it and cost upward of S500000.

Concerning the services to be ren- dered by the assay furnace m the de- velopment of the states mineral re- sources Mir. Bird Said;
 The determination of gold and Sil- yer cannot be conveniently and prop erly made by the ordinary laboratory and chemical methods because of the relatively small quantity of these metals contained in ore that are neV- ertheleSs commercially valuable.

WOMEN PLAN TO
 ASK BETTER PAY
Complain of Discrimination in The
 United States Civil Service.

Washington Sept 5.-Fair play for women in the United States Civh Service will be one of the questions brought forward in the fifth annual convention of the National Federation of Federal Employees to be held in New Orleans September F to 16.
 Miss Gertrude NJ McNally, third vice president of the Federation who will be chairman of the Committee on Legisla ton. will ask the convention to call upon Congress and the admin istrative officers to abolish the double wage standard now existing which, it is said. keeps women out of the higher paid positions, gives men the promo tons oftentimes over better qualified women. and fixes a lower rate of pay orwomen than for men on work of comparable skill.
 The resolution which will be intro duced by Miss McNally makes the following assertions as to existing conditions in the Civil Service:
 ''The average salary of women is 5000 less than the average of men.
 During months when, because of war conditions, women were appoint ed in great numbers at higher salaries than ever before, only five per cent of the women appointed to the United States Civil Service were paid more than S1 300. while 46 per cent of the male oppointeeS received more than that.
 Many bureaus have a virtual dead line for women in respect to salaries and the women employees are found massed in the lower scales of pay. very few reaching executive positions or receiving salaries more than S1.S00 although doing highly technical work.
 Congress. on recommendation of Senator Shoot of Utah and Represen- tative Wood of Indinia has limited the salaries of women experts in the Women's Bureau of the Department of Labor to S1 500 year. except three at 5000. while the same law allows salaries of 8. 75O to 5000 in the Blu reau of Efficiency and other bureaus where comparable positions are filled by men. Senators said when inter- viewed. $2 .O00 is enough for a woman. Women flag makers in the navy yards. women working in the arsenals, in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and in the mail equipment shop of the Postoftice Department. where they are paid from lump sum appropriations with rates fixed by the department heads, are paid less for their skilled machine operations than men are paid for unskilled labor, such as pushing trucks

written ExeiusiveIy for UniverssI
Services.
Under the guise Of an "open shop"
movement the railroads are engaged
in a gigantic conspiracy to crush the
newer and weaker Of the railroad
unions.
Their attitude tends to discredit
and render useless the Railway
Labor Board, and may cause a dis
astrous strike on the part Of main
tenance of way and shopmen.
EXECUTIVES INsINCERE.
The position Of the railroad execu-
tives before the Railroad Labor Board
in the pretended request for wage re-
ductions has been wholly insincere.
They have led the public to believe
that they are requesting the board to
authorize a general reduction OF rates
OF pay for all classes of railroad
workers. and have filled the press with
propaganda to the effect that the rates
of pay of railroad workers are exces-
sive, and that certain classes OF en-
ployes are Sinking and lacking In
proper productiveness.
As q matter Of fact, the railroad
executives have done no such thing.
This 10 what is causing dissatisfaction
and the threat Of = serious strike
among classes OF railroad employees
who are suffering from unempioy-
ment and DO not consider their rates
or pay adequste- They would IKE 20

railroads would give them a'<ohancs,

Instead of being given this op.
portunity. they are being harassed
in an indefensible way by the rail-
road executives. with tactics designed
to stife and stampede the work OF
the Railroad Labor Board. and to
disrupt the weaker railroad unions.
ALLEGES RUsE BY ROADS.
II the executives were straightfor-
ward, they would ask the Labor
Board to authorize q general reduc-
tion in wages. Instead of doing this
they select and parade before the
public and the Railroad Labor Board

made by General Atterbury, vice

object of taking advantage of the
