Archie c. Belding Succeeds Miss
May L. Stewart.
From Charlevoix Sentinel)

(From CharleVoiX SentlneD
By appointment made by Judge OF
Probate S. A. Correll, Prosecuting At
torney E. A. Ruegsegger and County
Clerk Richard Lewis, Wednesday,, the
position of Commissioner of Schools,
will be filled by Archie C. Belding, a
former commissioner in Antrim county,
where for three years he successfully,
and to his credit superintended the
school work in our neighboring county.
Mr.. Belding, for some years was a
successful superintendent of schools
and during his school work was recog-
nized as one of the best educators in
the state, and it was due to his recog-
nized ability that he was elected to the
office of commissioner of schools in
Antrim county, from which he retired
after three successful years, to engage
in business other than educational
work, for himself.
Experience is credited with being
the best of teachers and if the axiom
holds true, Mr.. Belding should prove
a worthy successor to Miss Stewart,
who recently resigned to accept po-
sition with the State Educational de-
partment. He has had years of ex-
perience, holds life certificate, and as
stated above has ability to perform the
work that comes under his jurisdiction.
For the present his address will be
Walloon Lake, where teachers and
school officials can secure such infor-
nation relative to school work as they
may deem essential and expedient.
The school year will soon open and
Mr.. Belding will be prepared to meet
and care for special engagements as
they arise and use his best effort to
promote the welfare of the corps of
teachers in the county, and maintain
the schools on high plane.

Central Railroad, told the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee to-
day when he resumed his testimony
IN the course of the committees in
vestigation Of the country's rail-
road problem.
EMPLOYEs INCREASED.
In the locomotive department alone
OF the New York Central lines, Smith
said, the number of employees on the
monthly rolls was increased from
l1.545 before the agreements took
effect to 1872 Immediately follow
ing. and to l3,665 in 1920. In the ca,
department, he said, the average
number of men employed in 1919 was
1880, and by the operation OF the
agreements and rules made at the
close of Federal control, the average
number of men in this department
was increased to 13,SSS.
Smith pointed out that an addi-
due to these orders and agreements
was the application of punitive over

These rates were those prevailing
before the increased wage award
made by the Railroad Labor Board
in July and made retroactive to May

for the New York Central lines
alone, he stated. an increase in
wages of approximately $21,64O,0OO.
EXPENSE ACCOUNTS MIXED.
The statement by Smith that the
operating expenses of the roads in
1920 had been increased by back
wages paid to men for work done
during Federal control brought from
Senator Cummins, chairman OF the
committee, the declaration that he was
amazed" to know that such a condi-

Cummins said that the roads had evi-
