RAIL AGREEMENT IS
TO Be ADVOCATED
THE RAILROAD LABOR BOARD
ISSUES ORDERS EFFECTIVE
ON JULY FIRST.
Decision Affects All Employees Elk
cept Those in Train Service Who
Are Under Separate Agree
ments With Railroads.

Chicago.-National agreements de
filming working conditions for EN-
ployees on all American railroads un
der the federal railroad adminlstra
ton on Thursday were ordered abro
gated, effective July l, by the rail
road labor board.
The board called on the Officers and
system organizations of employees of
each railroad to select representatives
ito confer and to decide" as much of
the rules controversy as possible.
"Such conferences shall begin at the
earliest possible date" the decision
said.
While the decision did not specific
ally say so, members of the board said
that all disputes as to rules and work
ing conditions automatically were re-
ferred back to individual conferences
between each individual road and its
employees. This method of procedure
had been sought by the railroads,
whereas the labor side had favored
national conference between represen-
tatives of all roads and all unions.
The decision affects all RAILROAD essr
ployees except those i'm train service,
who are under separate agreements
between the railroads and the four
big 'brotherhoods.
In connection with the conference
the board laid down set |
of sixteen principles which are TO serve
as foundation for any rules which
may be agreed to. The present general
rules hearing before the labor board, in
progress since January 10, Will con-
-inue until both sides have completed
heir testimony, following which the
BOARD twill promulgate such rules as
{ determines just and reasonable as
'Oon after July l as is reasonably pos
ible and will make them effective as
# July L."
The sixteen principles outlined by
he board were drawn up by Henry T.
Iunt of the public group and upheld ,
he right of the employees to organize
or lawful purposes, the right of en-
loyees to negotiate through their own
representatives., the right of seniority +
nd the principle of the eight-hour day. !,
was specified that "eight hours J,
'ork must be given for eight hours
ay." Espionage should not be prac-
ced by either side, the decision said.
nd employees representatives should r
ave the right to make an agreement
pplying to all employees in the craft
+ class of the representatives.

COAL MINERS GO 1T ALONE
Rail Union Leaders Call of Proposed
Sympathetic Walkout.

London.-A ballot on April 10 by the
Seamen's and Firemen's union on the
question OF strike In sympathy with
the coal miners resulted in a majority
Of fifty-seven against the action. The
'Oll was 10000.
This means that the coal miners will
have to fight their battle alone. There
was intense relief in many quarters
over the knowledge that the contem-
plated strike of the railway and trans
port workers had been called off, and
there was renewed hope of industrial
peace.
The situation Is that the strike Of
the miners continues and that every
hings depends ON the extent on which
Frank Hodges, general secretary of the
miners federation, will be able to
maintain his authority over the rank
and file of the miners.

WAGES OF SPANISH SERVANTS

Madrid, Jan. 4.-Americans- accus-
toned to paying their ordinary SHRED
girls" $50 or more a month for gener-
al housework will be interested to
learn that Spanish domestics are
forming a labor organization to en-
force a demand for an increase that
viii bring their wages up to the equiv
alent of s. or even SO a omnth.
Cooks, parlQrmaids. kitchenmaids,
vet nurses and general help have
united in a movement not only for
higher wages but an eight-hour day.
This may look ridiculous in America
but it is serious business for the
Spaniards. They are accustomed to
paving their hired girls the equivalent
normally of about "a month and re-
quiring them to be on duty from early
in the morning to late at night, or
even l o'clock the following morning.
The servant girls of Spain usually
are allowed half day off each month
The eight-hour day proposal hit:
the householder hardest. One newspa
rer satirically says: "How will bah,
/ get on if the wet nurse declines Il
perform her duties for more thar
eight hours a day."

FLORIDA'S FINANCES
Tampa Tribunel

Sttae Treasurer J. c. Luning's an
Dual report for 1920 shows a balance
in the state treasury of S2,27O, $50 .9S.
The total expenditures for 1920 were
less than the total receipts by S425,-
051.52. The total cash brought for
ward at the beginning of 1920 was
81 ,S25, 1896. The state. is, therefore,
piling up cash above its needs, approx
imately half million dollars annual
ly.
From the standpoint of the state
as whole this is a fine showing.
From the standpoint of the taxpayer
it indicates need for tax reduction
somewhere, amounting to 80 cents
for each man, woman and child in the
state.
With no bonded Indebtedness save
a paltry> 100000 held by its own
scnool fund, there is no good reason
why Florida should have an idle two
and a quarter million dollars lying in
the bank vaults of the states depos-
itories, even if it is drawing a mini
nl0m of interest.
We note this report shows the state
prison fund and the state prison (tax)
fund both exceeded their income by
several thousand dollars, the combin-
ed excess of cost over income being
some $4,000. 1t is also noticeable
that the "flying squadron" the run
about teachers examining board, costs
slightly more than its income.
The educational institutions and the
hospital for the insane are not expect
ed to produce revenue. All of these
need attention, and undermining as
we'll as enlarging. A good place fo1
some of that two and a quarter mill
ion the state now has would be in the
educational and hospital needs of the
state.
There are few states that will show
better financial standing than Flor.
ida, and the encouraging part of it j.
that this surplus of two and-a quar-
ter million dollars has been accumu
lated during four years of the mos
riotOus spending Florida has evel
known. 1t speaks volumes for tn,
states financial handling, for the eff
ficiency of the treasury department
and with sane administration facinl
| Us. it means there can be relief from
high taxes.

The Question of Partial or Total
Disarmament, Says Elihu
Root
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Jan. 22.-Total or par
tial disarmament should not be dis
cussed by the United States with other
nations pending the change of admin
istration March 4th, Elihu Root, who
helped form the international court of
arbitration under the league of ma
tions, declared today in letter to
Chairman Butler of the House naval
committee.
The precise method of procedure
should be determined after and not
before Mr. Harding and his secretary
of state have an opportunity to in
form themselves and reach conclu-
sions as to the way which affords the
best prospects of success.
Mr.. Root declared it his belief that
steps should be taken promptly after
the new administration has been es-
tablished to bring about a general
agreement of all the powers for dis
armament.
