GUT IN R. R.
WAGES ORDERED.
MAKES REALITY OF BIG ANNUAL
SAVINGS EXPECTED BY
REDUCTION.
ORDER COVERS 21O ROADS
Takes OFF About 4oO,ooo,o 900 from the
Country's Railroad Labor Bill and
Extends Order to Every Rail-
road in United States.

Chicago United States railroad
labor board has extended its wage re-
duction order, effective July 1, to prac-
tically every large railroad in the
country. No change from the average
- per cent reduction granted 1O4 car
riers on June l has been made by
this decision. The order covers 20
roads.
1t involves practically all classes Of
employees on virtually every railroad
known as a Glass 1 carrier which is
not included in the boards original re-
duction order
The Glass group includes every big
road in the country.
The only change in the rates Of re-.
duction made by this decision is in the
case Of some marine workers.
The new wage decision makes a
reality of the estimated $4OO,OO0,O0O
annual savings expected when the
boards IL per cent cut, effective July
l, is applied to all employees on Glass
carriers.
When the first reduction order was
issued IT was estimated that, if applied
to all employees on all Glass / roads, it
would lop approximately $400,OO0,OO0
from the countrys railroad labor bill.
The new decision will make this cut
hui
for employees not included in the orig
inal case and also by including en-
ployes on roads which were not par.
ties to the first hearing
About one-half of the roads includ-
ed in today's decision were parties to
the original decision, the duplication
resulting from the fact that many
roads did not include all classes of
employees in their first petitions for
wage cut. All classes of employees
have now been named to the submis-
sion Of some Of the roads. The wage
cut, however, applies only to those
employees Of a given road which were
named in that roads submission.
Rates of reductions for several minor
classes of employees were added to
the order, which was issued as an adj
dendum to Decision LAT, the original
wage reduction order. Chefs and other
restaurant workers, dining car en-
ployes, laundry workers and porters
were named in added sections of the
decision.
Reductions of so per cent of the in
creases granted such employees since
Feb. 20, 1920 (the roads were returned
to private control by the railroad ad-
ministration on March l, 1920, were
directed for those employees.

AROUSED BY BILL
SENATOR SHIELDS PRESSES HIS
MEASURE TO STOP TRANSPoR-
TATlON OF WEAPONS.
PROPAGANDA AGAINST BILL
Former Assistant Secretary Of War
CrowelI Says Passage Would De-
stroy Industry and Be Severe
Blow to United States.

Washington.-Fire manufactu-
rers, Senator Shields democrat, Ten.
nessee, charged in the senate, are be.
hind extensive propaganda against his
bill to prohibit transportation Of
weapons used in assassinations, rob
berries and murder Senator Shields
read letters, which he said were in
spired by the manufacturers.
One Of these letters was received by
him from Benedict Crowell, former as
sistant secretary of war, now presidnet
of the army ordnance association Mr.
Crowell said that the bill would re-
strict the manufacture of pistols and
reyolyers to the quantity used by the
army, navy and marine corps The
military forces, since the war, are ov.
erstocked with these weapons and the
passage of the bill would destroy the
industry and would be a severe blow
to the continued military preparedness
OF the United States.
"Of course" said Senator Shields,
commenting upon the letter, Mr..
Crowelps great apprehension that
many years hereafter some OF tho
manufacturers may not exist, and that
in the meantime they ought to be al
lowed to prey upon the public by man
ufacturing instruments Of assassination
and murder is not very tenable.
Il have replied to Mr.. Crowell in
this matter because this is a letter
similar to many | have received from
other sources, similar to one l received
from the general counsel of a great
railway company, who said he opposed
the bill because the railroad company
might transport a pistol either on the
person of a passenger or in a box
without knowing 1t, and therefore be
guilty of violation of the terms Of the
bill. Certainly that gentleman never
practiced criminal law, or he would
know that no man was ever convicted
of a crime for an act of that kind I'M
less he committed the act knowingly
and wilfully Similar arguments are
being made against the bill.
The small arms are not used in
warfare, nor are they necessary to en-
able the citizen to keep arms in his
home for defense The larger pistols
are the ones used for these purposes,
and are best suited for these purposes.
The small pistols which are used for
the purpose Of executing private ven.
geance, robbery, assassination and
murder and not for any lawful pur-
pose. 1t is these the law is intended
to reach and suppress the sale Of"
