While the heads Of the railroad labor
orgsniza lions refused to predict a strike,
in the event that railroad wages are re-
duced, they declare that the nation will
face a transportation crisis and intimate
that the men will simply refuse to work
at reduced wages, whether their leaders
wish them to or not.
There has been a rumbling OF discon-
tent in railroad labor circles for many
months, as the result of the failure of tho
railroad labor board to grant the fun
wage demands OF the workers and the
granting of increased rates to the rail-
roads. This discomfort is steadily
mounting, and if wages are reduced
leaders here assert they will not be abs
to hold their men in line.
HARD To KEEP
MEN AT WORK.
THE hardest job we have fright now
is to keep the men at their work." said
E. c. Dawson, secretary Of the Interna-
tionaI Machinists organization. The ma
chinists union embraces majority OF
the railroad shop workers.
The men are bitter" said Dawson.
"They wish to throw up their jobs and
quit working now. Our task is to keep
them on the job.
Il don't wish 10 talk strike. I don't
know what the men viii do If wages are
reduced. but I know that it will be next
to impossible to hold the men in line. II
were a shop worker and wages were
reduced I would throw up my Job right
away and, if necessary. I would leave the
trade
The railroad men made enormous sac
rifices during the war They lived under
terrible conditions but they kept the flow
of supplies steadily going on. When the
war was over and they saw the railroads
being plundered they became bitter and
they are more bitter now than ever.
SAY ROADS NOT
JUSTIFIED IN CUT.
THE railroads are not justified in re-
ducing wages. Such talk as Atterbury' s
about the reduction of wages is a crime
and the men know it Is n crime.
1.-THE railroads were granted huge rate
Increases to meet the rising cost Of Ia
Dor. Labor has secured 80 per cent Of
those rate increases and the public is
bearing the burden. The other 20 per
cent Of the increases has not gone TO
labor and the roads have no justification
for talking wage reduction.
1--WE have the facts. We know the con-
ditions Of the railroads. They can afford
to pay FIVE times SIS much for repair
work done outside OF their shops as they
paid for it in their shops before the war

ton. are evident at the city hall.
The swish" of the paint brush and
the "swash" of a wet rag. cleaning the
frescolng In City Controller Robert H.
Brysons suite of offices are the har-
bingers Of the brighter and better days.
The fact that Hays Wilson, negro, a lieu
tenant Of Beverly Howard. negro RepuD-
lican generalissimo in the northeast sec
ton Of the city, is the man who Yields
the brush or directs half a dozen assist
ant wielders, is taken as a reliable indi-
cation that an election is on its way and
that Beverly's boys who have been
somewhat disafectsd from the city hall
organization since Beverly got mad at
Mayor Charles w. Jewett over too fire.
Quent visits Of the police to his place,
must be taken care Of.

DETERMINED.

which even Hays says has not been de-
termined but will be whatever the job
is worth" nine, or ten, or possibly more

city ostensibly for keeping the city hall
clean. Something like $4,000 Is handed
out for janitor service at the city hall
annually.
why can't the janltors clean this fres-
coing?' Hays Wilson was asked.
Because It takes an expert. 'Taint
everybody who can clean frescoing, man."

the wall
Besides, these janitors, they go to
work at o'clock every morning Hays
added and adjusted his ladder. The only
time the public ever sees the janitor corps

Hays says he would like TO clean the
walls all over the city hail but the
board OF works had given him authority
only to work on those In the controllers
office, because the controller wished his
place done"

EARLY CLEANING.
member Of the board OF works said
the board did not feel much like having
the whole CITY Hall cleaned at this time
but felt that they should wait until
spring after the necessity for operating
the heating plant Is past The board
feared that II the walls were cleaned now
they would be smoked up again by sum
mer. However. the board member said.
Mr.. Bryson was Informed that il he
wanted his walls cleaned he should go
ahead and have Hays Wilson do 1t.
Another member OF the board said that
HAYS was permitted to start ON the con-
troller's walls as an experiment and that
II he does good enough job he viii be
permitted to clean the rest OF the city
