PERSONAL FEELINGS

There's the issue.
 If you do not drive a Ford, personal feeling is causing you to spend S400 up yearly, the extra upkeep cost on another make of car. If you can afford it. all right but you?
 Look the matter squarey in the face and deter mine whether or not your pride is forcing you to spend more money toward keeping up a car than you need to spend or can afford to allot for that necessary expenditure.
 Home comforts, good books, good music, and something for your old age is simply wasted to tickle your pride

New York Herald Bureau.
Berlin. Jan. 8.
Scattered returns from strike vote
taken by the German railroad workers
show about 80 per cent. majority in
favor of a strike and about 100 per
cent. for a rejection of the Govern
ment's wage proposal, which, II ac-
cepted by the workers, would mean
adding 1000, 100000 marks a year to
the railroad budget, while IL the scale
OF wages demanded by the employees
should become effective it would mean
an increase of 5000. .0o0,00 marks.
The railroad administration is post
ing notices in apprentice shops Tor
crews for two armored trains. offering
fifteen marks n day with free board
and lodging. Railroad officials said
they considered the demands of the
workers for n wage increase to be ex-
orbitant and that any who strike VIII
be dismissed from the service.
Negotiations between the unions af-
fected and the railroad administration
are expected to lead TO settlement OF
the dispute with the scale of wages
probably fixed at about midway be-
tween the concessions already offered by
the State and the demands OF the work.
ers
1t was asserted at a conference be-
tween representatives OF the Govern
ment and of the workers that the Ger
man railroads would have to operate at
d deficit even IL they paid no wages
whatsoever. due to an increase Of 800
to 400 per cent. in the cost OF materials.
At present the German railroads spend
2 marks for every mark they receive.
despite the fact that passenger rates
are now 400 per cent and freight rates
more than 900 per cent greater than
they were In 1918. These rates. 1t was
said, will have to be doubled. The
increase. however will be put into ef-
feet gradually.
Through the introduction of an eight
hour day and longer vacation periods
there are now about rs per cent. more
employees on the German railroads than
there were before the war. but these
are not distributed over the lines as
they are needed. Some divisions have
surplus of workers and some a short
age, n situation In which there Is no
prospect OF adjustment because of the
lack of housing facilities.

Until Cost Of Labor and
Materials Declines.

Reports received by THE New
York HERALD last night from many
cities in regard to the situation con-
cerning the cost of food and cloth
ing and rent rates are Of more than
usual interest, for in almost all in
stances the reports show Il decided
tendency toward lower prices in
food and apparel. but an inclina-
tion to keep luyuries on their pres
ent high cost plane.
In few cities are there any indi-
cations Of lowering Of rents. The
landlords appear to be unaffected
by the demand for Il cut. Declin-
ing prices Of foodstuffs and cloth
ing are not regarded by them as
having a strong bearing on rents
except so far as the cost of labor
and materials Is concerned as the
result of changed conditions.

Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK
HERALD.


HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C.. Jan. 5.
THE Legislative, Executive and
and Judicial Appropriation
bill will be reported to the House
tomorrow carrying S112,000,-
600, having been slashed $685.
100000 below estimates. The
total is an increase of S6,000,-
600, however, compared with
last year, but it is due to provis-
ion for paying clerical forces of
the Army and Navy air services,
tank corps and other agencies,
which are new to the bill.
Reduction of the estimates
means that between 10000 and
1900 clerks now on the rolls
in Washington will lose their
jobs, saving of approximately
100000. There are 10000
derks now in Washington.
