WORKERS VOLUNTEER
FOR WAGE REDUCTION

Representative of the 5000 per-
sons employed by the Pullman Com
pany in its car shops at Pullman,
H., have notified officials Of the
company that they are willing to
submit to wage reductions ranging
as high as 20 per cent. if the COM
pany feels like that present business
conditions make lower wages neces-
sary, it was said by company of
ficials. The proposition will not be
acted upon until after the first Of
the year.
The company was given no inti-
nation of the proposal to be made by
the men until committee called
upon them with it, it was said by one
official of the company, and there
had been no discussion Of reduction
of wages prior to the action taken
by the men.
Officials said wages in the Pull
man shops had increased 100 per
cent. in the last three years, the av-
erage now being $6.77 day. Last
June the company established in "in-
dustrial democracy" in which the men
were given an equal voice with their
employers in affairs which affected
them, and the proposal to reduce
wages is one result of this plan, it
was said at the company's head
quarters.
If the wages are reduced com
mittee composed equally Of en-
ployes' representative will arrange
the new scale.

VIGOROUS PROTEST AGAINST

Information has also been received
from Senator Pat Harrison that he
has taken up the matter with state
department officials and will keep
the American Legion officials fully
advised as to developments.
The question is not only of local
interest, but to the entire South,
and the American Legion officers
here have mmunicated with the
organization officers in other states
urging them to join in the effort to
repel what thew regard as most
undesirable invasion.
While the COLONY headed for Mis-
sissipni, mirg from the vicinity Of
Winnepeg, contains only about 40,-
600 members, men. women and chill
dren, authentic advices from Canada
state that there are 100000 Mennon-

imposed on them, ard the hostility
