RAILROADS LYING TO PUBLIC ON WAGES
 GIVEN TO EMPLOYES
Committee of 48 Chairman Says Workers Receive Less Than
 Living Pay.
By J. A. H. HOPKINS, Chairman Committee of FOrty.Elght.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The respon-
 tPe orde fRe pon 3he shoulders of the railroad executives, who by their intentional and insldl- ous misreprescntations have deliber- ately deceived the public as to the facts, particularly to the wages they paying their employees, and have made it appear that the reason for the collapse of private ownership is entirely due to the high wages de- manded by their employees. This is absolutely false, says J. A. H. Hop kins, chairman of the Committee of Forty-cight.
 The official figures issued by the United States Railroad Labor Board show that the railroad workers, in- stead of enjoying undue prosperity, have been receiving an average wage of only ST, ,oo5 per annu1n, which has now been cut 12H per cent. and re- duced to SI,484 or less than $20 per week. As against this the minimum craze man can support himself and his family has been fixed by the Board of Applied Economies at $2,ooo per annum.
 Do the railroad executives mean that they are unwilling to pay their employees a living wage or that they can not do so and operate the rail roads successfully?
 Under these circumstances 1t IS no wonder that the threat of a further cut of 10 per cent. preCipitated a strike
 Grating in Coal Deals
 Railroad wages increased only 36 per cent. (this has now been cut I2N per cent) between 1914 and 1920, but the cost of fuel, furnished by the coal companies owned and controlled by the railroad executives has increased 500 per cent. during the same period. Why? Because when the railroads were ordered to technically segregate their coal properties from the railroad interests the insiders grasped this golden opportunity to organize coal companies of their own, then raised the price of coal to fabulous figures, sold II back to the railroads and picketed the difference. Then they shamelessly turned around, unloaded the deficits arising from these and many other similar transactions upon the government under the pernicious guarantees contained in the Esch- Cummins law, collected these

RULES UNIONS WILL
 LOSE THEIR RIGHTS BY GOING ON STRIKE
Railroad Labor Board in Final Find
 ings on Recent Crisis Asserts
Full Power.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-In a decision stat
 ing its findings as the result of the hear ing regarding the strike situation, the Railroad Labor Board declared that any union going out on strike will forfeit it's right and the rights of it's members in all existing contracts and lose all benefits accorded by the Transportation act
 At the same time the board delegated the wage cut decision of July, which the brothcrhoods violated by authorizing the strike, to the class of settled issues, and
 definitely ruled that no changes in work ing conditions or wages could be made until authorized by the board.
 With the controversy that led to the strike vote cleared away, the only issues left to be fought out between the roads still to be decided by the board, and the expected appeal by the roads for their 10 per cent wage cut. As the working rules are expected to take up many months of the boards time, the chance of a new wage controversy coming up for action soon is regarded remote The boards decision, which is said to have been toned down from the first draft prepared before the unions called' off the strike, reads as follows:
 While for convenience and identifl- cation this proceeding is numbered, doCketed and styled above set out it is in substance and fact an inquiry and proceeding, instituted and conducted by the board on ifs motion under the provisions of the statute
 The subject and impeding cause of the inquiry was the threatened general strike of the employees, comprising the membership of the above named labor organizations on practically all the first class railroad lines in the United States, which, If 1t had eliminated. would have resulted in national calamity of in CalCuable magnitude
 It was the purpose of the board to develop the causes and true facts and conditions to the end that all possible measures might be taken to avert the disaster. It was shown that a vote had been taken and strike called on all the roads, and as to the Brotherhood of Rail road ralnmen. had gone into effect on one. the International & Great Northern, on account Ot dlSSatiS faction with decision l4 ot the board, making a reduction in wages.
 Since the hearing was result there ot, the strikes have all been called off by the officials of the organizations and the danger of an interruption of traffic | removed. The representatives of the car riers and the representatives of the em- ployeS have announced their intention and | purpose to conform to the law and abide | by the orders of the board These facts | render It unnecessary for the board to 1 make any further orders on or about

Attorney Forwards His
 Commission to Judge Thomas.

Commissioner Jacob P. Walter of New Haven county said this week that he would take office as United States marshal next Tuesday, No- vcmber ?. This date was agreed upon by Mr. Walter and William R. .Pal1n- CT, the incumbent, when the former called at the federal building in New Haven.

He will receive the commission from the court when he takes the oath and qualities. He will first be required to file the customary bond,

LABOR CAN HELP FIND EMPLOYMENT
 THROUGH LABEL
By Beginning at Home" Will Assist Other Union Men and
 Thus Others.

The question of how to provide
 employment for the army of unen- ployed is one of the most important issues Of the day. Thousands of local
 men and women perfectly willing to
 work are unable 10 find a job Many
 of these are without funds and are
 living upon credit or upon the char labor unions arc assisting their un-
 employed members by granting them
 loans or donations.
 When the cold weather sets in this
 situation will be greatly intensified, ble to continue much Out-of-doOr work under way. Moreover, many arc without fuel or the money with which to purchase same So that the situation Is such that all men should consider it and, if possible, do some ething to provide work for those now unemployed
 Recently President Harding's Cn- employment Commission said that the unemployment question was one that should be handled by local com rnunities and urged a means of re lief that each city and town use all means at it's command to give em- ployment to its own citizens.
 If 1t IS proper, as the commission suggests, for each community to pro- then it is doubly so that local organ izcd labor should use it's purchasing power 10 provide work for local union men in preference to non-unionists wherever they may reside, at all times, but especially during this un- employment crisis. This can be done simply by employing only local union men and by purchasing products that are made in New Haven and bear the union label.
 Every local union has it's own un- problem, but probably none has felt the effects of the pres ent depression more than Local Cigarmakers Union, No. 3o, whose troubles have been increased by the | fact that thousands of inferior non | union cigars made in the cheap labor districts of neighboring states have been dumped in New Haven and l and their sale is being pushed | by dealers instead of the New Haven l union made products, because the | many New Haven | are unemployed.
 Local organized labor cannot solve | the unemployment situation, but it's members can, when making pur- chase of any kind, insist that the article be union made and if possible New Haven made as well. In this way local union men can strengthen the cause of labor and also help to provide work for local union men, Local unemployed union men are upon this support. Don't fail them. Demand the Union Label.
