RAILWAYS WIN
 WAGE DISPUTE
LABOR BOARD QUICKLY DECIDES LOWER PAY IS JUS
 TIFIED.

Chicago, May 17.-A reduction of the every railroad of importance in the country was forecast today in an an nouncement issued by the United States Labor Board after only one days con sidera ton of the case. The board an- nounced that a decision on the wage question effective July 1, will be hand ed down on June l, for all railroads whose wage disputes were presented to the board prior to April IS. These cover approximately 100 roads, includ- ing the larger trunk lines in the coun- try.
 As a forerunner to this decision the board announced a new and complete occupational classification of all rail- road labor to be used as basis for the settlement of future disputes. The new classification has been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission to become effective from April IS. Hearings on disputes filed since that date or ones that may be filed between now and June 1. will begin on June
 The railroads closed their case on May z, but it was not until Monday after B. M. Jewell. president of the rail way employees in the employment of the American Federal Railroad Board had presented final arguments for the employees, that the board began formal consideration of the case.

History of Disputes.

On July 20, 1920. the board rendered n decision increasing the pay Of all classes of railway employees approx imately 21 per cent, or about S6OO,ooo,- 900 a year.
 Several months ago several roads an nounced that they could not longer operate under this wage award and an nounced reductions, averaging about 2o per cent for unskilled employees. The workers appealed to the board. which decided that the roads could not make summary reductions, but must first hold conferences with their men ana then. if no agreement could be reached summit the case to the board for de cision.
 Practically every large road Tn the conntry then held conferences with its unskilled employees regarding reduc' lions and when the employees refused to accent the cuts. carried the case to the board.
 Today's announcement was the flrs1 indication of its attitude on the wage question. Railway officials tonight eX- pressed themselves as being pleased al the boards statement, and gave the oninion that the same condition which it was found applied to unskilled would also be applied to skilled workers Representatives of the employees re fused to comment on the boards an nouncement until they had time to study 1t carefully-Gazette.

CHANUkKAH NOT A HAPPY FESTIVAL
 THIS YEAR

This year the ancient Jewish festival of Hanukkah began Christmas night and this year this Feast of the Mac cabees or festival of lights, as it is called, is not all joyous. As the Jews of America light their candles, they are asked to remember the thousands of their race in Eastern Europe who are hungry, homeless and in rags.
 Hanukkah, which lasts eight days, is the celebration of the puriffcation of the Temple in Jerusalem after Ju- das MaccabeuS had recovered it from Antiochus Epiphanes, King of Syria, and his heather hostsin l6S B. c. It is. therefore, feast of thanksgiving, of the giving of gifts. In every Jewish household, whether orthodox or radical, Saturday night will see the ia mily sitting down to a special feast of cakes and good things to eat. The father. the oldest male member of the family. will read aloud certain psalms and designated portions of the scrip lures and with special ceremony a single candle will be lighted. Every night for a week one candle will be added till on the last night there will be a great illumination in the menorah, or seven-branche candle stick which every Jewish family owns
