RAILWAY WACECUT
ORDER IS EXTENDED
Employees on Practically All
Railroads in Country are
Now Affected.

Chicago. NJ Employees on virtually
every railroad In the country felt the
~ per cent cut in wages ordered by
the United States railroad labor board
effective July /, following supple
mental decision extending the order to
nearly 100 additional roads.
The wage slash authorized by the
board on June to take effect July l
originally contemplated 104 railroads.
although not all employees were ar
fected on all roads. The addendum to
that decision included 210 roads. many
of which were parties to the original
decision, but which returned to ask re-
auctions for classes of their employees
not covered in the first order
The reductions authorized Saturday
were identical with those of the orig
inal order, the only change being the
addition of rates for marine workers
in certain harhors and of a section COW
ering restaurant and dining car EN-
ployes, whose wages were ordered re-
duced by 60 per cent of all increases
received since February 10. 1910.
With the exception of few subsidi-
airy lines whose parent owners filed
petitions for reductions, every railroad
in the country affected by decision No.
2, the labor boards $600,000000 wage
award of July, 1920, has now been au-
thorized to reduce wages an average of
II per cent Most of them have re-
ceived such permission for all classes
of employees. In addition nearly two
score other roads which voluntarily
applied the increased scale fixed by
the board in 1920 also have received
authorization to make a similar cut.
The labor board recently estimated
that its IL per cent reduction would
lop approximately $400,OO0,O00 from
the nations railroad wage bill, If ap-
piled to all employees. Comparatively
few roads now have full quota of EN-
ployes, but restoration of normal con-
ditions and application of the boards
cut to all employees Of the larger rail
roads will make the $500, 100000 reduc'
ton a reality

june BUSINESS
IN UNITED STATES

Washington.-June business activi-
ties in the United States, although
showing an acceleration in price de-
clines, were classed as "incOnclusive'
with respect to probable future devel-
opments by the monthly review OF the
federal reserve board issued this week.
Theories that prices had reached a
stable basis, founded on a slowing up
of the price fall in May, the board
found were set aside by later records
and the board concluded that ut Is
even more evident that the close of re-
adjustment period has not yet been
reached in some lines of business,
notably iron and steel. In several
branches of domestic trade, the board
said. good conditions have continued
and such recession as has occurred is
evidently only seasonal.
Unemployment continued practical
ly unchanged, the report said, with
slight tendencies to betterment, not
ably in agriculture
Hesitation in purchasing" the
board said, marked all the channels
of distribution, with little improve
ment in exports, but in banking there
was noted "a steady growth of strength
and liquidity."
The reserves of the federal reserve
banks have been much enlarged
through continuous addition of gold,
the board said, while their outstand-
ing liabilities have been reduced ln-
terest rates have become more mod
crate during the month.
A tendency toward the evening up
of prices" in dstributive channels, the
board said, was noted during the
month. resulting in the passing on of
price reductions to the consumer. in
the form of lower retail profits.
This was coupled with downward
notifications of freight rates. In gen.
eral, the board found the month to be
a period "of transition, with seasonal
RECESSION in many Industries and con-
tinued downward readjustment in
others, while with productive prospects
favorable and prices apparently reach
ing q condition of greater stability,
the outlook for autumn appears rea-
sonably encouraging.

DIAMOND WORN BY CARLOTTA
History, Is Now on Exhibition
at New York.

great greenish-white diamond,
known as the "MaXimllian stone" Is
on exhibition for the first time in this
country at New York. Like all large
gems this stone has history which
is not happy. 1t was found in Brazil
about 1850. and in its rough state
weighed nearly so carats. Ferdinand
Joseph Macmillan, then archduke OF
Austria, travelled extensively in South
America. While he was In Brazil he
bought the diamond ii is said, for
price approximating $4,000.
The jewel today Is In the same con
dition as it was when worn by the EN-
press Marie Charlotte In MaXimillian's
short reign in Mexico.
When Maxmillian was executed a
commission was designated to sell the
diamond along with other gems that
had been part of the gorgeous court.
The stone was bought by an American.
As part of his estate the diamond Is
again to be sold.
