HOPES FOR U. S. PEACE
Harding Trusts Nation Will Never
Enter Another War.
Annapolis Graduates Told They Will
Never Be Called On to Fight
Aggressive Conflict.

Annapolis, Md.-A hope that the ma
ton would V be called upon to fire
a gun in wal again was expressed by
President Harding here in presenting
diplomas to the graduating class at the
naval academy.
The President added a promise that
while he was President the young men
being graduated never would have to
go to war except in a cause that
squared with American conscience.
Defense Is Noble.
"a good deal is said nowadays said
Mr.. Harding, "about preparing for de-
Tense. I know nothing nobler in this
world than the defense of ones own
country. That is an inherent thing in
man, planted in the human breast by
God Almighty. There wouldn't be any
civilization today if men were not will
ing to give their all for it's preserva.
ton.
But the preservation of the estab'
lished order is one thing, and it is
highly essential, while crusading for a
new order is quite another thing
Sometimes most nobly inspired, some.
times most lily advised.
81 want to say to you, young men,
I hope you'll never be called upo to
draw a sword nor fire a gun except liz
the expression of the customary amity
and respect, and, l promise you that
while l am President you'll never be
called to fire a gun except you can dc
it with the American conscience, with
which you can answer to God.
81 do not want to be misunderstood,
I want an America, unafraid, but ]
want you to help make a republic of
conscience, a republic of sympathy and
| a republic of high ideals"

RAIL WAGE BILL CUT
U. S. Labor Board Directs Il
Per Cent Decrease.
New Pay Scale Goes In Effect July I
On 1914 Lines-Members Of 81
Unions Affected.

Chlcago-Four hundred million dol
lars a year will be slashed from the
nations railway wage bill when an or
der to be handed down by the United
States railroad labor board takes full
effect. The decree is effective July
on 104 lines. Granting the petitions
OF the companies, the board will direc,
an average cut of II per cen which
eventually, will apply to all the rail
road employees of the country. Mem
bers of 81 unions are affected imme
diately.
The cuts range from five to 13 cents
an hour, or from 5000 a month fol
apprentice boys to $26.52 for the bet
ter paid skilled labor, figuring on an
eight-hour day basis.
The decision granted reductions
varying from S to Is per cent, and il
the case of section laborers, complete
1y wiped out the increase granted thai
class of employees by the $500, 0O0, 900
wage award of July 20, 1920. Section
men who have been receiving $3.50 fol
an eight-hour day were cut to $500
the same figure in effect under fedora
control. The reduction was approx
mately Is per cent.
Switchmen and shop crafts were
given a 9 per cent reduction while the
train service men were cut approx
mately Z per cent. Car repairers were
cut about 10 per cent.
While the decrease is specifically ap
piled for the present only to the TO-
roads whose cases have been heard b,
the board, the decision says it ma,
later be applied to any other road ask
ing a hearing in accordance with thu
provisions of the Esch-Cummins trans
%pOrtation act.
The railroad labor board recently re
classified the various employers in con
nection with railway corporation, ant
this, it was pointed out, may hav,
some effect on labor costs.
The board also, a few weeks age
ordered abrogation of the nationa
working agreements, to become effee
tive July 1. At the hearing on the pc
tition for abrogation of these agree
ments, railroad witnesses estimate
savings in labor cost as high as $500
100000 annually. This would be in &C
dition to the saving possible throug.
the current wage reduction decision.

WISCONSIN DRY LAW VETOED
Governor Blaine Flags Anti-Saloon
LEAGUES Activity.

S'@''S '1yS W. NV
Leagues Activity.
Madison, Wis.-The Matheson prohi-
bition enforcement bill was vetoed by
Governor Blaine on the ground that it
is "indefinite and uncertain" and in
conflict with the federal Volstead act.
In his message to the assembly, he at
tackled the A~nti-Saloon league lobby
which drew up the measure, as PERM
cious' and asked that the new en-
forcement bill be passed which has no
evidence of its handiwork.
The governor declares in his present
message to the assembly that the prin.
ciples underlying the Mulberger act,
the existing prohibition enforcement
law, should not be disturbed, because
of the fact that they have been ap.
proved by the people at the polls. "In
some respects the Matheson bill is an
improvement upon the Mulberger act
he says, "but its defects far outweigh
any Improvement"
