sit is well known and admitted
by all that the railway men were
the last to receive any increase dur
ing the war period. During August,
1919, the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers submitted to President
Wilson statement setting forth
that a decrease in the cost of the
necessities of life was necessary or
an increase in wages was imperative.
From that time on the question
of wages was discussed on different
occasions and was finally submitted
to the labor board. In July, 1920,
the board handed down a decision
which, based on all the facts, they
declared was just and equitable, and
further stated that their conclusions
were reached after long considera-
ton of all the facts as evidenced by
the testimony before that board.
lAtterbury Failed.
Later Mr.. Atterbury, of the Penn
sylvania railroad, appeared before
the board and in a spectacular pres
entation demanded an immediate re
duction of the wages of all railroad
employees notwithstanding the car
riers had been granted a material in
crease in freight and passenger rates
in order to meet the increased wages
granted by the board. This was de-
MED on technical grounds because the
carriers had not properly created
dispute in accordance with the trans
portation act.
The railroads then began to serve
notice on all their employees demand
ing reductions in pay thereby legally
creating a dispute which was referred
to the labor board resulting in a IL
per cent reduction as of July /, 1921.
ITO further aggravate the situa-
ton, Immediately following this
meeting great number of the rail
roads served notice on their employ
ees that they would revise a schedule
and take from them the rules gov

arninE their 5arr.cs that had been N
effect for from ten to thirty years.
Said rules were obtained partly by
the efforts Of the United States board
of mediation or boards Of arbitration,
of which The neutral members were
appointed by the representatives Of
the government. The majority of
such rules were the result of nego-
tiations across the table with the
representatives of the organizations
and the managers of the individual
railroads and acknowledged to be fair
and equitable
Conference Arranged
Conference of all general chair
men was arranged to be held in The
month of July in the city of Chicago.
The result of said conference was to
instruct the executives of the organi-
cations to meet the executives of the
railroads some time prior to Septem-
Der /, for the purpose of trying to
bring about an amicable adjustment.
This was done and a committee of
railroad executives We're met in the
East, Southeast and Western terri
tories, their answers all being similar
and denying any kind of conciliatory
measures.
Following the refusal of the ex-
ecutives of the railways , to enter
into any agreement with the execu-
tives of the organizations, there was
nothing left to do but refer the
matter to a referendum vote of all
the workers which were employed
on the railroad and TO submit their
decision in the matter. In October
the representatives of ,the workers
were convened in Chicago and a can
VasS Of the vote was made which in
dlcated that "a per cent plus were
in favor of withdrawing from the
service. Such condition was never
known before in the history of rail
road labor and no doubt was caused
by the arrogant, selfish attitude of
the railroad executives together with
their decination to he party to any
KIND of conciliatory terms.
after the vote had ben can
vassed the chairman of the Railroad
Owenr's association was notified by
wire of the result and the request for
. conference committee was made.
The one hundred and fifty railroad
presidents meeting in Chicago named
a committee of five railroad presi-
dents to meet the executive officers
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1921-10-18

Of the transportation brotherhoods.
They declined TO make any concession
OF offer any solution providing for
a settlement, but instead notified Us
that a resolution had been adopted
by the railroad presidents asking the
labor board for = further wage re
ducticn Of the employees. Then and
not until then was permission given
for men 20 leave the service"

If the battery is short-lived-if re-
insulation is needed at the end of a
few months-if re-charging is nee
essary at too frequent intervals it is
because the builder has not investi-
gated carefully enough the needs of
his car and frequently because he
has not paid enough attention to the
important decentralization.

Many car and truck builders,
feeling this responsibility, have Sc
lected the Willard Battery with
Threaded Rubber Insulation as
standard equipment. By taking
this step they not only can give the
purchaser brand new battery
(shipped bone dry) but can assure
him longer battery life, much less

and less need of re-charging.

OLD-TIME FIGHTERS
TOUGHER

Fighters of today are just as
good as they were "a years ago."
Jake Kilrain says that. He used to
battle with his bare knuckles.
He does not regard the bout be-
tween Dempsey and Carpenter as
child's play, even II it is only for 12
rounds. He fought 106-round draw
with Jem Smith for the champion
ship December 10. 1887.
Dempsey is as rugged as they
make 'em and Carpenter has a head
on his shoulders that will save his
hands a lot" he says.
"I think boxers of today have as
much endurance ss we had in the
old days. It's all a matter of train
ing"
Kilrain's wrong. Fighters OF yes
teryear were of tougher stuff be-
cause they made themselves so, in
preparing for the long, gruelling
battles.
If Dempsey and Carpenter were
training for a 106-round contest they
wouldn't be such gluttons for rest.
Kilrain is now a watchman at a
shipyard building plant at Quincy
Mass. He is 62 years old.

ARTLE TO BOSS
THE BIG FIGHT

NEW YORK. June % Omitted
Press. )-Nothing but ten days re-
main in the way OF the Dempsey
Carpenter fight. Settlement of the
referee question removed the last
difference among the principals al
though at no time was the battle
endangered by the controversy.
Harry ]. Ertle. who will be named
officially today by the New Jersey
boxing commission, has never been
exactly opposed by Karns. The man
ager OF the champion simply had his
pride hurt a little when the COM
mission did not consult him about
the referee.
Ertle is city marchal OF Jersey

cratic machine now on the throne in
the Jersey State
He is an experienced referee, hav-
ing handled a championship bout In
every class but the heavyweight d.
vision. He is OF rather small stat
ure and some have questioned his
ability to handle two big rushing

was the rpentier-Levinsky bout

HOME RUN RAMPAGE.

Nineteen twenty produced 6sl

Nineteen twenty-one is almost GER

In games up to and including June
1e. the American League in total
Of 442 games played had made 1872
home runs-an average OF .4344
homers per game.
Extending this ratio for total
games Of the season, the American
League would make 535 home runs.
In the National League at the
same date, 1853 circuit drives had
been made in 42S games-an aver
age of .3S0S home runs per game.
At this clip the National League
would make a total Of 469 home
runs for a season.
This would make a grand total for
both leagues Of 1904 homers for the
season-an undreamed of fence
busting record for major league
baseball.
That ougth to satisfy the fans who
a season or two ago were yelling for
more hitting.
