ACCEPT 10 PER
CENT WAGE CUT
Reduction viii Save the
Roads Nearly SIS, 900, 900
in Annual Operating Ex-
penSeS, 1t Is Estimated.
tBy The Amounted Press.l

New York, Aug. S.--Recent ac-
ton of approximately 10000 en-
ployes of the marlborough and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit companies
in voluntarily accepting wage re-
auctions of 10 per cent will save
these systems nearly 100000 in
annual operating expenses.
The workers of these two great
transportation systems which COW
err Greater New York are or
ganized under employees fepre-
sentation" plans.
The marlborough workers are
united in the Brotherhood of In
terborough Rapid Transit En-
ence nearly five years. They &C
cepted the wage cut by a vote of
S,341 to $3.50.
The employees Of the Brooklyn
system accepted the decrease
through a committee elected under
a representation plan adopted last
fall.
The marlborough brotherhood
organization was approved by the
| employees in August, 1916, by a
vote of $500 to 1900. 1t has a
membership today of more than
$1,000,
| While all questions as to wages
and working conditions that arise
are handled by the brotherhood,
| tho company takes care of the
questions of efficiency or disci-
| pline of members. The employees
| nominate and elect by secret ball
lot one committeeman to every
$50 employees. No employe who is
exercising disciplinary power
over a fellow employee" can be a
| committeeman. These represent
the workers in comforting with
| the company.
The organization is carried on al
no expense to the members, the
company supplying stationery
meeting rooms and other inciden'
tails
The Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Employees representation plan
which is now being developed
provides for the election, by
groups of employees. or representa-
tives empowered to confer witt

employees are working under thi
arrangement. The company ais

OBSERVERS Of business are
almost unanimous in their as
" surances that there is better
ceiling" about business.
Just exactly what this recurring
phrase means is difficult to state.
II might be descriptive of any OF a
dozen psychological changes that
could enter into the situation. II
It means that people generally have
begun to realize the causes. that
ave thrown industry out OF bal
lnce, and to appreciate the things
that must be corrected before con-
ditions- come into equilibrium again,
then we should say that the re-
ported ''better feeling constituted
an important advance toward nor
malcy. If, however, the better
feeling means simply that people
are merely smiling and waiting
more patiently, rather than setting
themselves seriously to the task of
wage and price reductions and other
readjustments that are necessary,
then we fear that it signifies but
little.
There is fresh evidence constantly
that the readjustments are taking
place. They are slow, but it takes
time for knowledge of conditions
to reach all classes and divisions of
the population, and for them to
make up their minds to give the
cooperation that is necessary to
bring industry back into balance.
Meanwhile, it will aid in the cutiva-
ton of patience to realize that con-
ditions are by no means so bad as
they might be, and that considering
all the circumstances the volume of
business is really surprisingly large.
The fundamental difficulty upon
which a revival of business waits is
still the inequality of values as be-
tween the various classes of goods
and services. The normal basis of
trade between people in different
industries has been disturbed, and
it is only by the pressure of painful
experience that the old relations are
-estored.
The producers Of cotton, corn and
oats, wool, hides, sugar and food
stuffs generally are getting no more
for their labor than before the war.
Among the principal items Of ex-
pense to them is clothing. They
produce the raw material for it, but
under the modern system of indus
try sell it and buy it back in the
form of garments, paying the trans
portation charges, mill-workers,
garment-workers and all middle
men by supplying food and raw
materials to everybody.
All Of the people who have part
in the conversion of wool, cotton
and hides for the farmers use are
still getting 100 per cent or better
above pre-war wages, but naturally
they are not all at work. for the

N. K.:-You husband can have
his face massaged by his barber,
using a good building cream. OF
course, he can do this himself at
home. Are you sure he does not

In the case of children, paren-
tai neglect and fear of school ex-
aminations were mentioned as the
principal causes. Boys Of an av-
erage of 16, took their own lives
to the number 214 and girls, aver
aging 15 years old to the number
of 293. In most cases the boys
used revolvers and the girls

Belfast, Aug. 8.-A letter from
Rear Admiral William s. Sims, ac-
knowledging receipt of congratula-
lions from the Belfast, comrades of
the great war on. his recent speech
before the English Speaking Union
In London, in which he criticised
activities of Sim Fein sympathiz-
ers in the United States, was made
public here today.
"It may interest you to know
that practically all the reputable
newspapers in the United States
are now in thorough approval of
our condemnation of the activities
of Sim Fein sympathizers in the
United States" the letter said.
This has been brought about
by a remarkable expression Of
opinion by the American people in
the form of showers of letters and
kilograms to all concerned. 1t is
my hope that it will exercise a
very, considerable influence upon
the relations between our two
countries"
