 are not pledged to stay out after their own grievances have been adjusted.
 "Our organizations will return to work when they are satisfied that they have gained their individual points, a high official said tonight. ",The concessions which would satisfy one body of workers might not sat- isfy another. It is quite certain that we will all be on the same track going out, but there are many sidings and we don't have to come back to- gether."
 B. NJ. Jewell, head of the railway employees department, American Fed eration of Labor, which comprises the shopcrafts said that his men never would have been called out inde- pendentIy on a question of wages alone.
 Acting independently. our men never would go out on question of wages alone" he said. They wilI fight to the last ditch, however. for their rules, and for fair working conditions matters of prln- ciples but the executive com mittees of the shop crafts were much opposed to calling strike on the wage question alone.''
 MT. Jewell referred to the recent decision of the shop crafts execu- tives not to call strike on the wage cut ordered July 1, by the railroad labor board, although the men had voted overwhelmingly to strike rather than accept the cut.
 Jewell To Await Hearing
 MT Jewell indicated that final in structions to his men might be de- layed until after the Pennsylvania railroad hearing before the labor board October 20.

General Pershing To Decorate Dead
 Hero of Britain
IRepubIlean A. p. Leased WIrel


 LONDON, Oct. 16-General Persh- ing, who comes to take part in the ceremonies attending tomorrow the laying of the congressional medal on the tomb of Britains unknown soldier, arrived from Paris tonight. He was met by a reception commit tee from the government depart ments.
 The general was greeted by Sir Laming Worthington- Evans, secre- tary for war, who introduced him to the others. while hundreds of on- lockers applauded.
 Within five minutes after his ar rival, the general entered a limousine accompanied by his aides and as the car passed through the gates and encountered the crowds hearty cheers were given. General Pershing went to the American embassy where he will stay. and later was a guest of the ambassador and Mrs. Harvey at a dinfer party.
 The Star Spangled Banner" render ed by the Welsh guards band. and the cheering of thousands of men and women, boys and girls, greeted the composite battalion from Coblenz when the special train rolled into vic tory station two hours after General Pershing arrived. The battalion con- sists of 450 men.
 Approaches to the station were damned with people, and the streets were packed. The Americans were cheered everywhere. At the duke of York's barracks in Chelsea, where the Americans will be guests of the terri torial army association of London, the battalion sat down to an English American dinner of roast mutton, po- tatoes and hot mince pie in a great hall topped with six large American flags. Forty girls in blue acted as waitresses.

Naval Catapault
 To Launch Planes
 Ready for Tryout

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The first complete cataDult for launching air planes from battleships is ready for installation at the Hampton Roads air station.
 For some time. light, single scatter planes have been flown from plat forms built on battleship turrets but this system was not applicable to heavier planes.
 The catapult. however. gives the necessary impetus under any condi- tions and will not interfere with func- tions of the ship.
 The device is said to be based on the same principle used by Samuel Pierpont Langley in launching his steam driven experimental airplanes in 1896 and 1903.
 It comprises a power driven car riage running on tracks and carry ing the plane. The carriage is driven along the tracks until the speed be- comes sufficient to lift the plane. The carriage is brought to rest by brakes and shock absorbers and then drawn back to the starting point.
 Besides the new launching cata- pults, naval designers are working on plans to equip all ships of the line with hangars, machine shops and all necessary aviation equipment.

rates. The public undoubtedly ex- pected this result when the July wage reduction was made, and it's consummation now. though some what delayed. would be highly grati- flying. The direct benefits would promptly follow and that the psy- chological effect would be instantly beneficial can not be doubted.
 "Such reduction in the cost of living as might result from this and other causes would inure to the benefit of the railway employees and would constitute one of the Statu- tory grounds for further reduction in wages. It would have a ten dency to reduce the cost of material supplies to the carriers and it would not then be necessary for the car riers to rely solely on wage cuts for a reduction of operating eX- penses.
 "Deflation should be general. and. as far as possiblei uniform Up to this time. the farmer is the only man that has deflated, and he came to the earth with thud. This was because he did not possess the para chute for organization to break his fall.
 Another catastrophe of that sort should be avoided if possible. Wages and freight rates should come to just and reasonable stage. Of course nothing in these observations should be construed to indicate what the action of the labor board will be on any wage dispute that may be will continue to be adjusted by the board in accordance with the evil dence submitted and the require ments of the transportation act. When reductions are justifiable, they will be given.
 Transportation Act
 "It must be understood that there is no intention to indicate in any sense, the duty of the interstate commerce commission.
 Tn this connection, it may be in formative to the public to know what factors the transportation act requires the labor board to consider in fixing wages. They are:
 ss1.-Scale of wages paid for sim liar kinds of work in other indus tries.
 "2.-Relation between wages and the cost of living.
 "3-Hazards of the employment.
 "4-Training and skill required.
 s5-Degree of responsibility
 "6.-Character and regulation or
 7-Ineoualitfes of increase in wages or of treatment the result of previous wage orders or adJust- ments. Other relevant circumstances are also to be considered.
 ssTt is obvious that the first two factors are subject to frequent change. and that, during post war period of readjustment, the changes may be rapid. and radical, necessitating a more frequent revi- sion of wage schedules than would ordinarily be necessary.

grant certain privileges which were not merely an invasion of the politi- cal integrity of China, but an affront to the other nations which, although Japan's partners in the war. found their rights of trade and intercourse seriously interfered with.
 But it is not believed here that Japan will even consider the aban- donment of her position in south Manchuria or that she will consent to vacate her position of practical mistress of the eastern situation gained through years of constant po- litical and military aggression. Full recognition is accorded here to Ja- pans conviction that she is in the right in this stand. As a very promi- nent Japanese official here recently said to me:
 Both Japan and the United States are anxious to do what is just and fair. The trouble is that it will be difficult to reach an agreement as to what is just and fair

 since them by a revision of only part or the working rules of only one class of employees. the carriers nave received further benefits, amounting to many million of dol lars
 Friday the carriers notified the employes they would ask the labor board Tor further wage cut of 10 per cent, assuring the public that the shippers and the people should nave the benefit of this wage reduc- lion in the form of reduced freight rates.
 To this proposition the employees reply that no general reduction of freight rates followed the four hun dred million dollar wage reduction of July l, to justify another wage re- auction and that they will strike with out even awaiting a decision of the labor board as to whether another wage reduction is just and reason able.
 Atterbury Offers Idea
 This is the stage which the con- troversy has now reached.
 There is at least one feasible plan by which it can be settled and a strike averted. That plan is predica- ted on an excellent suggestion made by General Atterbury, of the Penn sylvania railroad, in his speech at Chicago last Friday. His suggestion is quoted as follows:
 Nevertheless, it is a fact that the carriers, though they are not earning what they should earn to entitle them to be called prosperous nor what the law intends they shall earn, can not rest under such pro- lection while other business strug- gles for its life. It would be a wise policy for the carriers publicly to avow that view and voluntarily re- duce rates where they now work hard ships, even though such rates may be reasonable in a transporta- tion sense, and even though to re- duce them means a loss of revenue to the carriers. The carriers can do this of their own volition, where it would be improper for the inter state commerce commission to do so. The result would be a temporary check in the rising fortunes of the carriers and that they can i'll af for, but it would be a step in the restoration of sound business condi- tions and the public should give to the carriers a real appreciation of their adt'
 If the railroads will immediately, in good faith, adopt this suggestion of General Atterbury the situation can be cleared up, freight rates re- duced, the cost of living reduced and q stimulating effect exerted on all business.
 Cut Rates Immediately
 eve would suggest that the wage cut of July l be translated at once into a reduction of freight rates. This would be much more tangible and satisfactory to the public than to promise that future wage reduc- tions will be passed on to the peo- pie in the form of reduced freight

With Roscoe Karns carrying the story of the farce in an inimitable manner. Maude Truax scored again at the Elks theater last evening in Here Comes the Bride" a rollinck- ing comedy in which the Bainbridge- Karns Stock company appears at its best. For the second week in success sion Miss Truax has registered a good 100 for Phoenix theater lovers. and her acting in this weeks offer ing in fully up to the standard she set in "Mile-a- Minute Kendall"
 Here Comes the Bride" is built to order for Roscoe Karns. From the minute the curtain goes up until its drop he is busy and busy is just the kind of acting that he seems to like. The play itself is lively, full of clever lines and amusing situa- ticns, and carries an entertaining story. The acting throughout the comedy is well done, and the action moves swiftly and smoothly. The members of the cast all appear to good advantage, and this, with the other merits of the performance. makes an attraction that is well worth seeing.
 The company will take the road tonight and tomorrow night while the Georgia Minstrels occupy the stage at the Elks. appearing again for the regular Wednesday matinee.
 As a pleasing interlude last eve ming the management of the theater introduced the American dance hall orchestra, an aggregation of jazz ar lists which won instant applause. The orchestra comprises six musi- clans, all of whom showed last night a thorough acquaintanceship with their instruments. This feature will be used at the Ellls every Sunday afternoon and evening, when the lat est and snappiest of popular music compositions will be offered to the patrons of the theater at those times.

There is a large body of opinion here to the effect that no definite decision possibly can be reached. But it is becoming increas- ingly evident that the administra- tion will insist on a formula which may be stated somewhat after this fashion:
 Let us have an understanding. It may not be an amicable understand ing We may find it impossible to settle the eastern problems on basis of what we believe is fairness and justice. But when this barley is over we shall at least understand each other. Fair words will no longer pass current if they are not associ- ated with fair deeds. If the arms race is to keep on the world shall at least know why it is to be kept on and what must inevitably happen"

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 16- Though President Lee of the Broth- erhood of Railroad Trainmen could not be reached tonight to obtain an expression of his views on the pro- posal of the public group of the rail- road labor board to translate the July wage reduction into decreased freight rates, he today criticised the pro- posal advanced by the railroad exec utives to make such translation in an additional 10 per cent wage reduc- tion.
 Such reduced rates, and conse- quently reduced living costs, would only be taken out of the blood of the railway workers" he said.

=, Two grave but avoidablc dangers the
'anemic quality of the belt line rail-
road and the opposition of the Com.
pine controlled Council. menace the
security of PhilaNlelphia's high rank
among the ports of the world, accord
ing to George +. Sproule, Director Of
Wharves. Docks and Ferries.
Inc Directors views were stated in
an interview today. in which he por-
trayed the rapid development Of the
ports since the establishment Of the
department in 1907, and indicated the
serious situation into which Council.
by its holding up Of necessary loan
funds, may throw the prosperity
brought to Philadelphia by nearly
$500. 900. 900 in imports and exports.
If Council persists in its present at
titude, said the Director, then Phila-
delphia stands chance of losing It's
foremost position as a sea port-the
second in Importance in the United
States.
"On the other hand" added the
Director, ''if we develop the belt line
so that it really functions and keep a
little ahead Of the demands for pier
space, then there is nothing to stop the
forward movement Of the port Of Phila-
delphia. New York has almost reached
its limit"
Despite the attitude Of Council, the
Department Of Wharves, Docks and
Ferries, like other departments under
Mayor Moore, is stirring with actual
construction work. Approximately
81 ,000,0 900 worth Of work is now under
contract.
Nevertheless, at least SO 1000 900 is
urgently needed at once, and more must
be supplied II the facilities Of the port
are to be kept abreast of the tide Of
business.
Director Sproule also called for action
in making the Belt Line a real service.
This line IS supposed to connect up the
piers with several railroads.
