Of The Evening Worldly
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Repre-
sentative volk OF Brooklyn to-day
introduced a resolution in the House
providing for ar inquiry into the
operation OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system by Receiver Garrison
and the discontinuance Of certain
branches.
Mr.. Volk says that upward OF
f25O,O has been paid out in fees to
the receiver and others in q year
with the sanction Of the United
States Court These sums. he says
are grossly excessive, and if applied
TO the work Of operating the trans
portation system o; its branches
would obviate the necessity of dis
continuance Of the branches which
have been discontinued or the dis
continuance OF which are threatened.
The resolution further sets out that
the commencement of this receiver
ship was not IN furtherance of the
interest OF the creditors OF the COM
pany or its security holders, but has
worked great hardship on the credi-
tors OF the property.
The Government is a creditor Of one
Of the defendont companies to the ex-
tent Of $lG000,OOO loaned by the War
Finance Corporation. The committee
will have power to send for persons
and papers and take the necessary
step TO examine into the admlnIstra-
ton Of the affairs Of the transit sys-

Agreements Made with
Men Is Urged.
SOLVENCY is MENACED.
Executives Wish tn Return to
Rates PrevailingT}efore
Recent Increases

CH!I'AGD. Jan. gL-Immc,;atr abb
ruFr-;iru OF the nauonAi SE-ee,nApts
batw~cn railroads and employees
was proposed TO the Railroad Labor
Pam to-day by W. ". Attcrbury,
Chairman OF tho Labor Committee
OF tho Association Of Railway Exec
utives and Vice President Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
Tho solvcucy OF the railroads OF
the country nUst be assured by a
reduction In operating expenses. Mr..
Attcrbury declared Unless prompt
action affords relief TO the roads, he
eold. many Of the lines Of the couu-
try may be forced into insolvency.
The Labor IIonrd can prevent this
/ catastrophe" Mr.. Attcrbury said, by
declaring that the national agree
ments, rules and working conditions
coming over from the war period arc
terminated at once. That the question
OF reasonable and economical rules
and wording conditions shall be re-
nandcd g. negotiation between each
carrier and it's own employees. and
that as the basis for such negotla-
tons, the agreements, rules and work
ing conditions in effect on each rail
road as OF Dec. 81 1917. shall be- TO
established"
On the question OF wage reductions
in connection with the requested
action BY the board. Mr. Atterbury
said: III the board win do this, the
Labor Committee OF the Association
OF Railway Executives will urge upon
every railroad company PARTY TO
decision number ., that no proposal
for the reduction OF basic wages shall
DO made within the next succeeding
ninety days. This will afford an op-
portunhy to gauge the economies
which can be accomplished through
moro efficient rules and working
conditions. 1t will also hfforl adj
ditional time in which to realize the
benefits OF a further decline in tho
cost of living"
The national agreements, rules
and working conditions forced on the
railroads as war measures" the state
ment says, cause gross waste and
inefficlency. estimate that the
elimination Of this waste would re-
duce railway operating expenses at
lcast $500, 900, 900 per annum. 1t would
be far better to save this sum by
restoring conditions OF efficient and
economical operation than 70 reduce
wages"
Conditional upon the abrogation of
the National agreements by the
Labor Board. the roads ask IN ad-
dition that the basic rates for un-
skilled labor, fixed at 80 to IS 1-2 cents
; per hour in the award OF July, 1920,
be Immediately retractcd. The plea Is
made that inasmuch as rJaes for un-
skilled labor in other industries have
been greatly reduced since the award
became effective, the higher scale on
the railroads works TO the disadvnn-
/ tage OF other employers, and bears
with grave injustice upon the great
body OF our farmers"
The appeal 81 the railway execu-
tives is concluded with the deClara-
ton that lin our judgment, unless the
! proposed measures be taken promptly
| by your board, a situation win
shortly develop in which orderly
procedure will becme entirely I'm
| possible"

10000 TO HEAR LOWDEN ON
JUNE Is AT BACHELORS GROVE

Special Correspondence, Ora n
Forks, June 2.-What promises to be
the biggest meeting Of farmers in
North Dakota will Nake place June
18th at Bachelors Grove, in Grand
Forks county, when Frank o. Lowden,
Ex-Governor of Illinois, and prominent

Fully 10000 people, including farm
ers, bankers, business men, and their

rrulture, better social rural life and
happier relations between town and
country.
Governor Lowden, who has just wir-
ed County Agent d. B. Morris OF
Grand Forks county his acceptance OF
the invitation to deliver the principal
address of the day, is one of Illinois
biggest farmers. The Governor is
intensely interested in agricultural
problems and his coming here from
one of the leading agricultural states
in the Union, together with the fact
that Mr.. Lowden is one of the nation
al present day figures, will be big
drawing card for the picnic. The
governor is an excellent speaker and
will bring a great message to the
farmers of North Dakota.
Preparations are now being made to
put the picnic grounds in the best of
shape for the gathering. Special!
sound refectors will be placed in the
The Ward County independent., 1921-06-09

will carry to every part of the ground.
An elaborate program of entertain

 makes it impossible to disturb the vaults or anything connected with them without ringing great gong in the basement and another in the street and also notifying the police station. The tellers' compartments on the main floor are each provided with a button which at the slightest pressure will set the alarm in action in case of any untoward incident.
 The doors to the safety deposit chambers are operated by electricity by the clerk in charge, which gives him complete control of the room. Adjoining the safety deposit vaults are the directors room and the rest rooms. Cash and valuables to be held in the vaults are taken from the lobby by a special elevator which was used yesterday to carry visitors to and from the basement.
 Musical Program Given
 The musical program given by Mrs Webb last evening was particularly fine. It was attended by an audience which filled the lobby to the doors and which testified to its appreciation by calling for encore after encore Her program of songs follows:
 Aria, Lieti Lignor .-....O. Meyerbeei o Mistress Mine ............ Barrati Blackbird's Song ........ Cyril Scott He'd Dream Waller Rain Pearl Currar The Moon Man -..-. Grant Schaefei "A Little Maiden Loves a Boy, from "An April Heart. ........

The pillars, counters. paying tables and panels are in gray marble. expuisitely fitted and polished-a marble in which there are n1yriads of tiny set shells and which gives undoubtedly the finest interior in the state. The massive pillars, the low counters of special design, and the absence of all unsightly railings, increase the sense of spaciousness with which the room is viewed and also give a thought of coolness independently of the modern ventilating system which has been installed.
 Decorative Design Attractive
 On the east side of the lobby are the offices of those in charge of the bank. These are finished in English fumed oak, and the furniture is of the same beautiful wood. The floor of the lobby is marble and the walls and ceilings have been finished to correspond with the pillars and coun- ters. The ceiling is particularly mo- ticeable, the decorative design having been carried out with wealth of quiet detail which is exceptionally pleasing.
 From the lobby the visitors were taken to the basement. where the great vaults are located, and where have been installed also the safety deposit offices, the rest rooms and the units of the ventilating system which is able to keep the temperature of the interior of the building many de- grees lower than that of the street.
 Of chief interest were the vaults Constructed of massive steel and concrete, they are almost absolutely impregnable. Incorporated in them Is the latest alarm system-one which
