FATHER POISONS HIS
STARVING CHILDREN
Kentuckian Receives Letter From
China Telling Of the Horrible
Famine Conditions There
100000 FACE, DEATH

So dreadful are the famine condi-
tons i'm China. a father poisoned his
family to save them from the suffering
OF starvation. The 100000 people
who face starvation now are Beginning
to die from the dreaded typhus..
These conditions are described in =
letter to the Rev. DR.. e. Y. Mullins,
Louisville, chairman for Kentucky of
the China Famine Fund, and also are
told of in the report of the American
Minister at Picking sent to President
Wilson. The campaign to save these
people from starvation was launched
by the President.
10000, 900 Are Children.
The American Minister states that
Of this number, 100000 are subsist-
ing on dry leaves and 100000 Of
them are children.
DIR. Mullins says this famine is the
| greatest since the one in 1876 when
"the world stood aghast at the death
/ of millions by starvat ton and cold.
| The horrors Of that year are at our
very DOORS" he said.
The area involved is larger than
| France and embraces Shantung, Shan
81, Chilli and Honan.
| A missionary in a letter received
yesterday>by DR.. Mullins. says:
This dreadful famine follows five
years of crop failures. Millions of
men, women and children are eating
the last of their dry leaves. The win
tiers here are very cold but these peo-
pie have no fuel-they depend on
leaves and gOoliang stalks to hea,
their huts-they have neither.
Typhus Upon Them.

The COW that had kept the family alive

His little daughter asked how it wa.
that they were having such good foot

BOARD FOR RAIL WAGE cut
Statement Says Conditions Justify to
Some Extent Vet Undetermined
Revision Downward.

Chicago.-The United States rail-
road labor board announced its inten-
ton of revising downward wages of
more than 100000 unskilled rail-
workers, effective July l. The amomt
of the decrease will be made public
on June i.
The board also announcer that it
would hold hearings June 8 regarding
proposals by the roads to decrease
the wages of other classes of en-
5pioyes anu would also make its de-
cision in these cases effective on the
same date A similar decision on
skilled workers would affect approyi-
mately 100000 men.
The announcement, which said pre-
vailing conditions justify to some ex-
tent, yet to be determined, readjust-
ment downward of wages" was un-
expected and came only few hours
after the close OF the hearings which
have been in progress since early in
April
On July 90, 1920. the board in.
creased the pay of all classes of rail-
way employees approximately q per
cent, or about s600,000,0o0 year.
Several months ago several roads an
nounced that they could no longer OPP
crate under this wage award and an
bounced pay reductions averaging
about 20 per cent for unskilled en-
pIoyes. The workers appealed to the
board, which decided that the roads
could not make summary reductions,
but must first hold conferences with
their men and then, if no agreement
could he reached submit the case to
the board.
Practically every large road then
held conferences with it's unskilled
employees and when the employees re-
fused to accept cuts carried the case
to the board. About ninety-eight
cases were thus appealed and the
board decided to hear them as unit.
The roads pleaded that they were
being forced to pay. more for labor
than they could employ it for in the
open market; that reduction in the
cost Of living justified reduction in
wages; that they were being forced to
operate in many cases at a loss, and
that they wished to reduce their rates
for the benefit of the public, but could
not do sc while forced to pay war
time scale to labor.
The employees charged that the ii
nancial embarrassment of the roads
was due to gross mismanagement,
that increased rentals had practically
nullified any decreases in other ne.
scessities, and that the wages we're
still below those paid in other lines.
Railway officials expressed them
selves as being pleased at the boards
statement and expressed the opinion
that the same conditions which it was.
found applied to unskilled labor
would also be applied to skilled work
ers.
Representatives of the the employees
refused to comment on the boards an
nouncement until they could study it
carefully
Railroad officials here were adverse

boards statement today was one Of
encouraging signs that point to re-
turn to a basis on which the railroads

"cuREs" FOR RAILWAY ILLS
ARE SUGGESTED BY C. OF C
Statement Declares Federal Incorpora-
ton of Lines a Highly
Desirable Asset.

Washington, d. C.-Railroads must
make sharp reductions in operating ex-
penses il their credit and financial
stability are to be re-established, a
committee Of the Chamber of Com
merce Of the United States declared in
: 9 ste temeat, following survey
Strict economy was urged, the COM
Smittee pointing out that REIMBURSEMENT
of salaries and wages is in progress in
all other industries, and it is to be as
sumed that railroad wages will in the
future, as they have in the past, bear
an equitable relationship to wages paid
in Others activities
The committee was of the opinion
the grouping or consolidation of rail
roads must ultimately be accomplished.
1t also declared federal incorporation
Of railroads was highly desirable.
No additional legislation was, how
ever needed, the statement said, as it
was advisable to have further expert
ence with the transportation act.
The committee stated it had come
to the conclusion that "eyen with in
creased traffic that will come with the
gradual return of business prosperity.
the business of railroad transportation
cannot be restored to a profitable
basis until the present high operating
expenses are cut"
Stressing the need for more econom-
ic methods of operation, the committee
said the first step toward the accom-
plishment of economies should be
greater cooperation among the car
riers.
There inevitably must be a reduc,
ton in the percentage which salaries
md wages comprise of the total operat-
ing revenue it said.
The committee assumes that every
effort would be made by the carriers
to maintain equitable scales Of wages
for different classes of employment

PiOneerS' Home Visited by Five

Condition at the Pioneers Home at Sitka are excellent said Sena- tor Hunt this morning, in discussing the visit of the members of the Territorial Legislature to the Ter ritorial institution. The Pioneers at the Home have little to complain They are being well fed, the accomo- dations are good, but perhaps sugges- tions for improvements will be made by the committee. There is absolut- ly no complaint to make on the man agement of the institution"
 Senator Hess; also member of the committee, said he was well pleased with the inspection trip, be- ing his first visit to the Home. Il believe the housing could be better arranged, more privacy given the inmates. as many are forced to be in large wards, and this matter should be changed, but I do not know just when it can be accom- plished."
 Representative Rickert, chairman of the House Committee on Terri torial Institutions, said; Tine Home is in fine condition. l do not see how we could get any better man than Superintendent Harry Morton. Mrs. Morton is also very popular with the inmates"
 Representative Brown stated that everything seemed to be ih splen- did shape at the Home.
