LIVING WAGE AS A
DETERMININGBASIS
IS THEORETICAL"
CANNOT BE CLASSED AS NECES-
SARY AMOUNT But REPRESENTS
THE SUN EACH INDIVIDUAL
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE.

Chicago, May ITO adopt the theory
Of the living wage as a basis for de-
termining railroad wages would be to
accept IAN untried theory Of state so
cialism or TO countenance creation OF
a super.privlleged class" according to
John G. Walber. summing up the tes-
timony of the railroads in the wage
question before the railroad labor board
today.
Mr.. Walber. who represented the
eastern roads. completed the roads
rebuttal and brought their fight for
lower wages To conclusion in n
lengthy statement, in which he attack
ed the whole theory of the living wage
urged by the employees as the funda-
mental principle in the wage case.
The living wage, according TO the
railroads Investigations. Mr. Walber
said. was not an amount necessary to
maintain an employ and his family,
but represents a standard on which
certain persons would like TO live.
I'VE do not believe the people of this
country are willing to accept as fun
damental an untried theory of state
socialism, or to cOuntenance the crea-
ton OF superprivileged class COM
posed Of railroad employees. We have
no quarrel with the ambitions or de-
sires of any American citizen TO bet
ter himself. However. the establish
mcnt of an artificial minimum wage
would be as fatal as attempting to
isttflc initiative Ind incentive, re-
moving hope Of reward and fear Of
failure"

there comes the offer OF a seat In

Next we find the president naming
as the man to represent him In those

MATTER OF WATER IN STOCK IS
CAREFULLY AVOIDED OR RE-
FERRED TO AS PROPAGANDA
TO DIVERT SENTIMENT

Chicago, May THE statements pre-
scented to the railroad labor board by
w. Jett Lauck consulting economist
for the railway labor unions, charging
that large amounts Of money are being
wasted in the financial and operating
management of the railroads, have no
relationship to the wage question now
before the board. it was cOntended in a
statement filed before the board today
on behalf Of the western railroads. IL
was signed by Charles II. Markham,
president of Illinois Central railroad;
Hale Holden, president Of Chicago, Bur-
lington and Quincy IT. F.. Bryan,
president of Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
Paul. w. II. Finley. president Of the
Chicago and Northwestern: j. +. Cor
man, president Chicago Rock Island
and Pacific. and S. NJ. FELTON,, pres.-
dent Chicago, Great Western.
"The sole purpose Of these state
ments," the western railroads brief de-
clared is to divert public attention from
matters actually pending before the
board. They are bald propaganda in
tended to discredit private management
anu IrOIlbtt lue tluIlD pidIi. We re-
spectfully protest against the board
continuing to allow hearings to be
made a means of spreading this propa-
ganda.
"Since these statements have been
permitted to be presented 10 the board
we respectfully call your attention to
the fact that in addition to being ir-
relevant, they are gross misrepresent-
ations of railway management and that
their tendency and purpose is to mislead
the public regarding the actual facts
as 10 both railway management and
railway regulation.
1T is charged that in various ways
the capitalization Of the railways has
been made excessive and that in thi>
way n burden has been imposed upon
the public. We deny that capitalization
Of the railways, as a whole. is excess.

New Ordinance Provides
That Service Car Oper-
atOrs Shall Not Charge
Over Half Dollar
RATE APPLIES TO
LONG OR SHORT HAUL
INTOXICATI0N OF DRIVER CAUSE
TO REVOKE LICENSE; SPEED
REGULATIONS MUST ALSO BE
OBSERVED.

The greater part of the time during
which the mayor and board OF city
commissioners conducted their regular
meeting Friday night, was occupied
with discussion relative to the draw.
ing up of an ordinance which will regu.
late motor car service in Ardmore, with
regard to license fee to be charged
fixing of fares for transportation Of
passengers, and other lawful require.
ments. Eight service car men OF the
city, who had been invited to attend
the meeting, were present, and engag-
ed in a general debate on the various
sections OF the proposed ordinance. as
they were read by City Clerk Thurston.
The most impoI tant section which
will be contained in the ordinance,
from the public viewpoint Is that
which was unanimously passed by
the board. and which fixes ~ cents as
the maximum rate which may be
charged by the service car men for
transportation Of passengers 10 any
point within the city limits, This sec
ton states that IL shall be unlawful
for any service car man so engaged TO
refuse to transport any passenger or
persons. upon application therefor, TO
any point in the city without good rea-
son for such refusal.
Prior to voting on the fixed rate the
commissioners asked for a vote OF the
service car men on the same matter
They We're in favor OF the 80 cent fare
by q vote OF to .. The auto men who
were opposed gave rs their reasons the
fact that according 10 the proposed
provisions Of the ordinance. they
would be required To carry any pas
senger who applied for transportation
To any point within the city limits
whether they wished TO carry them or
not, for n fare Of so cents. This rate
those opposed to IL argued was al
right with them In dry weather, but
when the streets are wet from rains,
etc, they would lose money.
Mayor Dyer stated that as n public
service enterprise. the service car men
should be- required to carry the pas
sengers. and that as far as losing
money In wet weather was concerned,
although II might be- true. nevertheless
the service car men made IL up In dry
weather. In that they would bc pcrmit-
ted to charge 80 cents for short drives
Tho mayor compared the service to
that OF railroad. explaining that II
ono route goes out OF commission, the
railroad company transports Its pas
scngcrs over another even though 1t
may be n dctour OF much greater dis
tnncc. for the same fare.

New York, May 7.-Substitution

today. The scientists declared
present primary school systems
were poor and unattractive to

schools was given to qualify

men, applicants for positions in his

The fault, he said. was not in
