Chicago. June 27.-The new wage
decision Of the United States railroad
labor board will make a reality OF
the estimated four hundred million
dollar annual savings expected when
the boards u per cent cut, effect
i've July /, is applied TO all en-
ployes, on all roads known as class
one carriers" The decision, drawn
UP as an addendum to the wage re-
duction order Of June /, adds prac.
tically every railroad In the class
one division TO the original list Of
104 roads authorized TO make the l2
percent reduction.
A hearing set June included a total
Of l64 roads and in the next two
made and included in a hearing on
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 hearing.
Many Of the roads which asked re-
ductions for only a part Of their en-

cover all employees in these two later
hearings. Virtually every railroad In
the country affected by the labor
boards six hundred million dollar
wage award Of July. 1920. was .pclud-
cd in one or more OF these hearings.
Following the u 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 its scale Of reductions de-
termined in the June decision and
merely added to the decision, en-
ployes involved in the subsequent
hearings.
AZ the two June hearings, the roads.
for the most part, contented them
selves with reiterating the evidence
presented In May. Their arguments
consisted chiefly OF cost Of living sta
usucs and comparison o; railroad
wages with those In outside industries.
The employees took up other factors
laid down by the transportation act
to be considered in the determination
OF just and reasonable wages. Haz'
ards OF employment, the living wage
and similar lines Of evidence were In
troduced in an effort 70 prevent any

While no definite results have been
announced from the referendum Ia

acceptance or rejection Of the i2 per

Initial Step Taken for
Reftting of Leviathan
Ship Boards General Manager
Decides to Revise Figures
i'm Hand
From The Tri5une's Washington Bureou


WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-Decision
to recondition the giant liner Leviathan
and restore it to the passenger service
in the North Atlantic virtually was set
tied upon to-day by Joseph w. Powell
vice-president and general manager of
the United States Shipping Board. He
conferred with construction experts Of
six large shipbuilding concerns over
the approximate cost Of the undertake
ing.
1t was agreed that the construction
experts would 60 over the specifications
already made by the international Mer-
camille Marine for reconstructing the
Leviathan. with a view to trimming
down estimates and to furnish the
Shipping Board by Christmas with the
complete costs Of work necessary to
put the liner in shape for active opers-
tion.
Along with figures on costs Of re-
conditioning the ship, the experts will
compile estimates of possible revenues
to be made by the vessel. and the data
will be placed before the Shipping
Board for it's approval. Once approved,
the board probably will lay before Con-
gress request for special appro-
priation to put the Leviathan in service,
together with data on the expected
revenues to be made by the operation
of the ship.
The construction experts who met
with General Manager Powell to-day

Feathers Preceded Flight.
Says French Scientist
DIR. Cuenot Flouts Theory That
Appurtenances Are Developed
bv Environment

Dr. Lucien Cuenot, French scien-
tist who addressed the Second Interna-
tlonal Congress of Eugenics yesterday,
did not go so far as to say that the
egg preceded the chicken in the scheme
OF existence, but he did express the
opinion that feathers came before
flight.
1t was his belief, he said, that the
general opinion that creatures re-
sponded to their environment by de-
veloping the appurtenances best suited
to it was all wrong. In his opinion, the
appurtenances came first and then the
proud possessor of them experimental
until it discovered what they were
best adapted for.
"For example," he said, "the feathers
of the bird, indispensable to flight,
must have appeared before flight, and
| am convinced that there will some
dav be found reptile bird which pre-
ceded the archeopteryx, fightless, but
already feathered."
DR.. Cuenot said that the wheel was
the only invention upon which man
could claim the sole rights. Every
thing else mechanical in the world, he
said, had it's counterpart in nature,
pointing out that the cuttlefish had
equipped itself with snap clasps, such
as humans use to fasten gloves.

Motor Transportation
Co-ordinated by Dawes

From The Tr1bune's Washington Bure0w
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Orders CO.
ordinating the use of motor transports
operated under executive depa rtments
and Independent establishments of the
government were issued to-day by Di-
rector Of the Budget Dawes.
A general survey of the motor trans
pert sitaution throughout the United
States revealed the fact that the rule
of absolute fixed assignments of motor
vehicles to executive departments and
Independent establishments of the Fed
eral government handicapped the gov
ernment in the handling Of motor
transport problems from the point of
view Of the general government. The
motor transport Of one department may
be overtaxed when there are motor
vehicles standing idle in another de-
partsnent- Civilian trucks were being
hired when department was con-
fronted by an emergency. when the
same service could have been per-
formed within the limits of the gov
ernment itself.
Hereafter departments and establish
ments will not expend public funds for
the hiring Of private transportation un-
til it is made known that all the trans
portation in the hands Of the govern
nent is fully employed.

New Era for
U. S. Opening,
Says Coolidge
For First Time in Recent
History Government Is
Keeping TO Constitution,
Asserts Vice President
Praises Real Leadership
Declares Accomplishments
of Administration Are Re-
storing Nation TO Peace

HAVERHILL, Mass, Sept. 23.-Vice-
President Calvin Coolidge brought from
Washington tonight an official view
of the present Administration. He was
speaking at a rally in the interest of
Colonel A. Piatt Andrew, Republican
candidate for Congress in the Sixth
District,
"There has not been time in recent
history when each branch of the gov
ernment, when the President, when
each House of Congress kept so plainly
to constitutional functions as under the
present Administration, he said.
There is leadership, there is advice.
but there is no system of rewards and
punishments. Freedom of action and
harmony prevail. Steadily, carefully,
deliberately, wisely, the country is
being restored to peace-time condi-
tions, not the peace-time conditions Of
1914, but of 1921. All this is being
accomplished with less loss, less sacri-
ficc, less suffering than that expert
enced by any other country which
entered the war.
Cutting Wasteful Expenditures
"It is on such record Of wise policy,
of sound action and extraordinary ac-
complishment that the Administration
asks your verdict"
The vice-President reviewed legisla-
tion enacted or proposed, mentioned
executive acts disposed of or pending,
and added:
"These are sufficient to show that a
real beginning has been made in re-
storing the nation to peace and in
putting an end to the extravagant ex-
penditures which were bred Of the
war.
"A new era is opening up for Ameri-
ca. The last election disclosed q wide
and far-rcaching dissatisfaction, which
extended beyond any party lines, with
the management Of our foreign rela-
tions and the conduct of our domestic
affairs, which was broadly expressed
In determination for q change.
at has been charged that these obli-
cations are not being met, that the
present Administration is one of little
accomplishment, that the Congress has
wasted its time in the discussion of
trivial proposals and failed in the So
luton of the larger problems.
No Apologies Abroad
"The present Congress has been in
session about five months. 1t had be-
fore it questions more difficult even
than those which arose during the war.
Before deciding that this Administers
tion is lacking in accomplishments it
would be wise to find out what it has
done"
The Vice President then recited i'm
portant enactments, and added:
"On the Executive side of the Ad-
ministration the accomplishments are
even more surprising. The President
chose to act as heads of the various
departments q list of secretaries who
have daily risen in the confidence OF
the people. A new era has been begun
in our dealings with foreign nations.
Our communication to them have been
exactly to the point, incapable Of be-
ing misunderstood and unapologetic in
their Americanism."
