PEACE STATUE IS

Salvation Army Leader Sug-

for Statue of Liberty
By Associated Press

New York March 26,-Erection of a
companion monument to New YoyL's IA
nous Statue Of Liberty, a great peace
monument that would be spoken of and
talked about round the earth" was pro-
posed by Gen. Bramwell Booth. interna-
tional leader of the Salvation Army, fol-
lowing his arrival here from London.
What is needed now, General Booth
said, is some new and striking corroo-
Grafton of the fact that "men are actual
ly thinking about peace and not about
war, and that the new policy of serving
others, instead of serving self, is an APP
preciated and understood policy in all
lands
ut would be marvellous thing he
added, ito augment the limitless mes
sage of the Statue of Liberty by the
erection in this great city of another
monument-this one to be a companion
to the first and a memorial to your
soldier dear, radiating that other God
lnspirted thought that, in vindication of
the human liberty for which your Bar
tholdi statue stands, precious lives have
been given, and that those lives ara
invested now in the proposition that
liberty shall not again be threatened"

Settlement of the controversy in the

ments in the railroad situation indi-
cate that labor has at least been able
to resist indiscriminate wage-cutting
thus far and to hold that part of its
wartime gains which, after all, it
considers of most Importance, inn
provement in hour and working condi-
tons.
Leaders in the trade union movement
have long recognized that shorter hours
and better conditions constitute perma-
Eent gains whereas higher wages are
often illusory because prices as rule
pretty nearly keep pace with them. or
even surpass them
OF hardly less importance than the ev-
idence that labor has been able to con-
solidate it's gains of the war in some
degree is the practical certainty that the

Washington, March 26.-(Special.)
The bewilderment with which the
railroad executives Of the country saw
their hopes run into wreck few
weeks after the government gave up
control has been succeeded by intense
activity directed at this question:
what is the matter with the rail-
roads 2"
Almost every railroad executive in the
United States is seeking the answer to
that question today. And they are learn
ing things-many things. BY the time
Congress finishes its forthcoming investi-
cation the chances. are that the execu.
tives will have located the trouble and
applied the remedy. There appears nov
TO be little prospect of government
ownership or government operation and
almost certainly there will be no greater
measure of governmental control over the
carries than that now exercised.
COMPLICATION OF ILLS
Not enc malady. but a complication Of
many appear to have laid the roads low,
l5loated wages, national agreements, in
creased operating COSTS hundred-mill
lion-dollar mistake in figuring the las,
wage raises, rates higher than the trait
fic will bear, lessened revenues, here and
there mediocre management, conflicting
orders from state and federal commits

among their ills

Lessened traffic, to begin, doesn't eN-
plain the present plight. for traffic IS
holding up fairly well to the level of 1919
and 1919 was the Year on which the
roads based their plans. There has been
a falling off, but not enough to span the

and the s per cent dividend basis con-
templated last summer. Here are some
other reasons, the roads claim, why they
are flirting with deficit;
SOME OTHER REASONS

many, but the bookkeepers are figuring

and lower wages are serving to make
New York increasingly literary. drift
from the moving picture theatres seems
perceptible.
These are the statements which come
from officials OF the city's public liz
braries, who declare that a new phe-
nomenon has been misunderstanding OF
branch Libraries during the morning
hours as well as during the afternoon
and evening. The recent rapid increase
in the patronage Of the branch libraries
is attributed chiefly to unemployment
and to lower wages.
The two years preceding last October
had been marked by a decrease in the
demand for books at the branches, al
though the normal increase continued at
the main library. Library officials
hesitated to give any explanation for this
situation. They remarked that both in
creases and decreases in library attend
ance in other cities of the country had
been laid to high wages The conclusion
/ that economic conditions had q direct
bearing upon library patronage was
forced upon them by the flocking of men
into the branches at the inception of the
industrial depression

st Is inherent in any public utility
service in New York that it should be
outgrown before it is ready for use"
said one of the library officials, 1T
seems ITO be impossible to provide book
service beyond the saturation point If
the library building were extended to
cover Bryant square, all the seats would
probably be occupied as soon as the
addition was completed"
So great has been the demand for books
at the branches with the resultant wear
and tear that the total of the volumes in
the A branches. in Manhattan, the Bronx
and Richmond-the jurisdiction Of the
New York public library-is actually de-
creasing. A reduction in the appropria-
| tion for purchase Of books has been com
cident with the increase in the use Of
the branch library facilities.
The main building of the New York
public library is open every day of the
year and, except for Christmas, Fourth
of July and Labor Day. there is an ever
greater demand for its facilities on holt
days than at other times. Frequently in
the main reading room, one of the largest
in the world, every one Of the 500 seats
is occupied.
Besides the 1000 to 5000 readers, 5000
visitors daily pass through the corridors

ened by his successful conduct of the
packing house controversy. It is true
that the settlement is considered by
both sides, to some extent, hardly more
than an armed truce, but at least pro-
duction will continue, and each party
to the dispute gained some of its de-
mands.
SELECTION NOT RELISHED
1t is no secret that the selection Of Mr.
Davis for the position of Secretary OF
Labor was not altogether relshed by
the American Federation. Although re-
tanning union card Mr.. Davis had had
no connection with the labor movement
for many years; he had become a bank
er, in which occupation ne would hardly
be expected to. have much sympathy
with the aims and aspirations Of work
ing men; and from labor's point of
view, he was not satisfactory Until the
moment that his appointment was con
firmed the machinery Of the federation
was at work in behalf Of James Duncan
an official of the Granite Workers union.
The attitude of Mr.. Davis in the pack
ing controversy is an agreeable surprise
to labor. The settlement, whether tenn
porary or permanent. is at least looked
Upon as equitable The great masses OF

Wages were put down then at $500 ooo,-

ceeded So, 200, 900 900. Inevitably they are
coming down. The prospects are that
they will be reduced within six months,

CLAIM REDUCTION FAIR
Such reduction would cut the average
wage OF the 1,750,000 employees about s2U
a year, or $3.50 a month. The present
average wage is $166 a month. The re-
duction, assuming 1t totals half a billion
dollars, would be equivalent to less than

creased about Is per cent in the past IL

would be fair one, less than the reduc-
