GAS a result, heavy financial losses
have been suffered, and many hun
dreds of thousands thrown out of
employment and deprived of all their
wages, and this loss of purchasing
power by them has accelerated the
general depression by reducing the
demand for the products they would
otherwise have purchased.
''While it has been argued that
the fall in prices has not reached to
any large extent the consumer, it
has without question most disas-

~ Board Reduces Wages
Average IL Per Cent

An estimated $400, 100000 will be
slashed from the nations railway
wage bill when an order cutting
wages an average Of IL per cent, as
handed down by the United States
Railroad Labor Board becomes ef-
fective July 1. The order affects
members of 81 labor organizations,
employed on 104 railroads.
While the decrease is specifically
applied only to the roads whose
cases have been heard by the board,
the decision says it may later be ap-
piled to any other road asking a
hearing under the provisions Of the
Esch- Cummins transportation act.
The decision grants reductions
varying from 5 to 13 cents an hour,
or from 8 to 18 cents, and, in the
case of section laborers, completely
wipes out the increase granted that
class Of employees by the 5000, ,000,-
900 wage award Of July 20, 1920.
For section men the reduction was
approximately Is per cent. Switch
men and shop crafts were given 9
per cent reduction, while the train
service men were cut approximately
z per cent. Car repairers we're cut
about 10 per cent.
Common labor pay, over which the
railroads made their hardest fight,
is to be reduced 6 to s 1-2 cents an
hour, cutting freight truckers av-
erage monthly wages to 1910 and
track laborers to $77.11.
This new schedule gives section
men an average daily wage Of 1902
for an S-hour day, although con-
siderable testimony offered by the
roads, particularly in the South,
showed common labor wages as low
as $3.50 for a 10-hour day.
The attitude of the railway unions
toward the decrease ordered remains
to be determined. The big brother
hoods are expected to meet in Chi
cago July 1st to consider the boards |
decision, which is effective on that
date.
= Claiming they were hard hit by the
winter slump in business, railroad
arrangements have been clamoring
for several months for lower wages.
and the decision will mark the first
relief granted by the board since it
set the advanced scale more than 10
months ago.
The decision will say that since
the 1920 wage award, "there has
been a decrease in the cost of living"
and "the scale of wages for similar
kinds of work in other industries
has in general been decreased"
These two points wer the chief con-
tentions of the railroads. Testimony
was offered to show reductions of 20
to 80 per cent in the cost of food
and clothing. Vraying reductions in
wages, mostly for common labor,
were also cited by the carriers.
"The board believes" the decision
says. "that. based upon elements
shown, the decrease fixed are justi-
fled and required"
''Whatever may be said as to the
origin or contributing causes, there
has been and is marked depression
in industry affecting the entire {

SEEKS OWNER OF WAR MEDAL
Opera Singer Redeems Emblem Found
in Window of New York
Pawn Shop.

The sight of Victory medal in the
window Of New York pawn shop
moved Lucien Muratore, opera singer
and French soldier during the World
war, to redeem the decoration in hope
that it will find it's way to it's owner.
while strolling with my secretary"
M. Muratore wrote, II CHANGED to look
curiously in a window where many odd
articles were displayed. Among them
was this medal. Having served with
the French army in the great war, I
was naturally interested to know how
this medal should come to such place.
My friends informed me that probably
the veteran had been forced by cir
cumstances to part with it for a small
sum. It is certain that / should be
greatly distressed to be forced to give
up insignia of reward with which
France has honOred me. With this
feeling, I sent my secretary to recover
this medal for me in the hope that I
should be able to return it to the gal
liant soldier who won it,
The medal bears clasps for st. Mi

sector. 1t will be returned to it's owner

More than one king has died in pow

but it remained for King Milan of
Serbia to die without a throne, with
out a country, without a dollar and
without friend, hated by his coun-

and wife. He was born in 1854, and
In 1868 we find him in Paris, blaSe
roue of fourteen, who got drunk
smoked cigars, associated with
gamblers, street women and thieves
and already an avowed atheist and
hater of virtue and decency. The
death of his second cousin, Michael
~, put him on the throne. He mar
rled a beautiful girl of sixteen, who
loved him and who bore him son.
All went well until she caught
him making love to a middle-aged
Austrian spy woman in a royal for
est After that he barred the clOven
hO0f, chOked and insulted the queen,
hated his son and began a career of
drunkenness and wickedness that
disguised his subjects. He was
forced to abdicate, and although
later his son.. then king, brought
him back as commander in chief of
the Serbian army, he returned this
favor by attempting to kill his own
child. He was ordered out of the
country, and ended up as hanger
on of low saloons and dives in Wen
ma, scorned even by the walters and
coarse women that frequented the
places.

FIRST HOUSE PILGRIMS BUILT
Where Settlers Modelled Civil
Form of Government.

Until they have gazed upon the
Rock, visitors to Plymouth town de
cline, as a rule, to see anything else
Having performed that duty, they
usually stroll or spin up Leyden street
which extends from point con
veniently near the Rock, to the foot
of Burial hill, where the Pilgrim fort
and watch tower used to frown down
upon the Indians. Leyden street is
New England's Oldest thOroughfare
Once it was called, quite APPLY, First
street.
On ones way up Leyden street one
must stop to look at the site OF the
first house which the Mayf1oWer pas
sengers erected in the wilderness. In
this structure the settlers had then
fling at the purest form of democracy
Here, modelling their civil govern
ment upon the compact which had
been drawn up in the cabin of the
Mayfower while she was anchored
in the harbor of Cape Cod, they dis
cussed laws for their guidance, and
elected Myles Standish, by majority
vote, captain of the Plymouth home
guard.

DECISION CUT LEGAL TANGLE
Point Involved in English Lawsuit
Seems Hardly Worth the Time
and Money Expended.

On the last day of the last month
in the year 1909 a very curious legal
battle was fought between the English
crown and a gentleman, lord of the
manor of HOlderness; it was a strug-
gle for a cask of wine thrown upon
the seashOre on the coast of that par
ticular manor.
The lords bailiffs and the customs
officers both raced to the spot and the
cOntending parties each laid hold OF
the caSk. Then the officers decided
to go back to the custom house for
further instructions, and during their
absence the bailiffs removed the cask
to the cellar of the manor house.
At the trial the arguments on both
sides were very learned and exceed
ingly lengthy. The decision of the
court was in favor of the lord on the
grounds that no permit is required to
remove spirits unless it has paid duty;
that wine to be liable to duty must
be imported that wine cannot be inn
ported by itself, but requires the
agency of someone else to do it; that,
therefore, wine wrecked, having come
on shore by itself or without human
vOlitiOn or intention, was not import
ed, and was not subject to duty, ana
did not require a permit for It's re-
