RAILROADS PLEAD
WAGE REDUCTION
Declare Hourly Rates Are Between 40
and 24O Per Cent Higher and
Living Costs Lower.

CHICAGO. April 19.-Eastern rail
roads. appearing before the United
States railroad labor board, opened their
drive yesterday for sweeping wage re-
auctions for all unskilled labor and, in
some instances, for shop and train serv-
ice employees.
Over the protest of the labor OrganiZa-
tions. the board decided to proceed with
the consolidated wage hearing of dis
putes certified by 90 railroads from all
, sections of the country. The board de-
cided to proceed Immediately despite the
three vacancies due to the fact that con-
gress has not yet confirmed President
, Harding'S appointecs and that one mem

there was no reason for pOstponing the
case.
/ Scores of exhibits. most of them deal
ing with the cost of living and wages for
similar labor in other industries were
filed as the carriers laid their evidence
before the board
Wage Cutting Widespread.
In opening their plea for wage rcduc-
tiOns. the carriers declared that there had
been widespread reduction of wages
from the 10 to 30 per cent and that the
cost of living had receded steadily for
several months

July, 1920.
Hourly wages on New England lines,
as quoted by Mr. Bardo. had increased

States Is red rice 1T soon takes
possession of the field unless active
measures are taken to eradicate it."
| 1T is common practice to pasture
every second year fields that are bad
| ly infested with this weed, instead
Of cropping them successfully to
rice" This method is much better
than following, for from the posture
a considerable profit may also be
derived.
Now, if the farmer will treat rice
as merely one Of his money crops
instead of making it his only sup
port, If he will adopt rotation sys-
tom of crops, moving his rice crop
from one field to another OF three
or four every year, and keeping
cattle in sufficient number to pasture
during the resting years or grow
soil-improving crops during the
years when the particular field is not
occupied by the rice crop, he will
have discovered the plan which will
make rice-groWing pay and he will
never suffer any ruinous losses.
The experienced rice-groWer does
not hive to be converted to dram
age. He knows its advantages and
is the best of missionaries in it's be-
half And when he shall have founu
out how to make drainage pay on
the rotation crop as he makes it pay
on the rice crop, he will have insure
his farming profits against entire
losses due to market fluctuations III
any year. 1t is a remarkabel fact
that now when the cotton farmer
and the rice farmer (the one-cropper
type) is going into bankruptcy, the
dairy farmer who raises his own feed
is prosperous. On the other hand
the stock farmer who has been
Duying feed has also been one Of the
chief sufferers from the price de-
preston. Drainage makes big for
age crops, and when these are fed
on the farm to its stock that farm
Ing is invariably a money-making
business. Let this lesson from pres
ent experience he needed by the rice
growers.

field outlets with watercourses Or

production in the additional time
and labor required to cut and move
the crop from a Doggy field. During
the winter, all drainage outlets
