Priceless Letters Recently
Uncovered Tell Martyrs
Love Of Fellow Men.

A BRAHAM LINCOLN. the Man
"a of Mercy. was born 113 years
ago today.
On a frontier farm that was
little more than a clearing in the
primeval wilderness Of Hardin
County, Kentucky, he made his
obscure entry into life.
Had q soothsayer made a pill
grimage to the rude cabin that
day, viewed its poverty and isola-
ton, or spoken to the shiftless,
illiterate father, he could have
found nothing that foretold the
man who was to steady a totter-
ing nations destinies-the giant
in spiritual power who was to wage
to victory the bitterest war Of our
history and still be acclaimed the
Man Of Mercy. The seer could
have done no more than speculate
vaguely on the perfect number
seven" present in the letters of
his given and family names.
Documents Newly Revealed
II is Lincoln, the Man Of Mercy,
that is particularly revealed in the
group Of almost priceless docu-
ments recently collected by G.
Lynn Sumner for the library of
the international Correspondence
Schools. All Of them are Of great
value and interest. One is wholly
unique. For it preserves in one
manuscript q plea for q soldier

endorsement by Senator Charles

RAIL CRAFTS REJECT
: U. s. BOARD RULINGS
Shop Men Refuse to Accept
Any Losses i'm Overtime
Pay.

CHICAGO, Jan. "a (Associated Press) -
Gently promulgated by the United States
Railroad Labor Board which cut time
one one-half pay for extra work from
the shopmen's wages was ordered to-day
by the committee Of one hundred acting
for the six railways shop crafts.
In a circular issued to the 5000
shop workers I'm the country the COM
mittee ordered new disputes Instituted
with the railway managements in1me-
diately over these rules. and falling an
agreement. the disputes were ordered
taken TO the labor board for hearing.
OF tn seven rejected rules the greatest
dissatisfaction centered on Rule Six.
providing straight time for regularly
assigned work on Sundays and holidays.
This work was previously paid for at
time and one-half. The committee pro-
posed a substitute rule reinstating time
and one-haf.
The boards new rules covering en-
ployees assigned to emergency work and
to fill temporary vacancies at outlying
points also were rejecterd by the com-1
mittee because they took away certain
pey provisions contained in the old ma
control. Under Rule 10 emergency en-
ployees are paid for time worked in
accordance with the practice at the home
station and straight time for all time
waiting or travelling.
The union committee directed institu-
ton Of dispute to reinstaee time and
one-half and double time to cover all
time spent on the emergency assignment
whether working, waiting or travelling.
The boards new rule allowing the
carriers to require a physical examine
tion of all applicants for employment
was also remanded to the system fed
erations to renegotiate with the indi-
vidual roads. The committee directed
that the dispute be instituted to have
this. rule modified Gin the interests of
the employees"
Another important rule by which the
board made 1t possible for the roads to
hire any man familiar with the use of
tools as car repairer came under fire
by the committee. A new rule was
proposed over which the carmen are di-
rected to open negotiations. The pro-
posed rule would allow helpers and
helper apprentices with less than four
years experience to be advanced to me-
chanic's grade, and If more men are
needed, men&with experience in the use
| of mechanics tools could be hired. This
would eliminate the hiring of any car
| penter who had not had mechanical ex-
| periencc.
Thirty-three other rules We're ac-
cepted, subject to the Interpretation
which the committee placed upon them
and the remaining rules were agreed to

INSISTS u. S. KEPT UP
THE RAIL PROPERTIES
Hines Denies Charges of
Breakdown.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.--Assertions
that the RAILROADS were turned back to
their owners after the period of Govern
ment control in broken down" condi-
ton were denied to-day by Walker d.
Hines in a statement before the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, in which
the former Director-General of Rail-
roads said he believed the Government
had substantially overmaintained the
equipment" OF the roads
Mr.. Hines told the committee that re-
ports at the end Of. Federal control
showed locomotives to be in distinctly
better" condition than at the beginning
and the condition OF freight cars to
compare favorably" with that time
II must be remembered, he added. that
both generally were in Exceedingly
poor" condition at the beginning Of Fed
eral operation.
Although there had been some short
age of maintenance in rails, cross ties
and ballast on some roads, Mr.. Hines
said, this had been greatly exagger-
ated' in the general discussion.
The railroads said they had operated
at a deficit of 5000. 900, 900 under Fed
eral control. Mr.. Hines stated, and to
this he said had been added $500. 900,
900. suggested by Director General Da-
Wis. and $600,000,000 claimed by the
railroads in addition as due to ineffi-
cheney Of labor, or total OF $500 600, =
600. The item of $500. 900. he said.
should be ignored as without any merit
whatever. as also the $500, 600. 900. Con-
cerning the remaining item OF $500, ,000.-
600, he cited various items which he said
should be deducted, with the result. he
said, that the actual deficit of the rail-
roads during Government operation,
covering a period of twenty-six months,
amounted TO s71f.000,000. Against this
he placed the assertion that the deficit
during the first twelve months under
private operation after the return of the
railroads had been $1,000. .0ee, 900.
This was not satisfactory basis for
comparison. he explained, because IL de-
pended SO largely upon the level of rates
and the dates when reh increases be-
came effective. A tr,x basis OF com
parison. he contended. wortS be the total
cost, which consists OF totn operating
expenses. tax accruals. &C., ana on this
basis he stated that these total operat-
ing costs for class ] railroads were in
1917 S3.oSo. 100000. in 1918 s4.24o,000.-
600 in 1919 $a.6s0. 100000, and in 1920
S6,o19, 100000.

Good Business in Percales.

That prices Of percales. as announced
to the trade on Monday, are receiving
favorable attention ives evidenced yes
terday in the number OF orders received
by several leading factors. The amount
of business transacted was said to be
considerably more than that consum-
mated on Monday. indicating. appar-
emily. that many orders had been held
up pending receipt of the new prices.
Little shopping around was in evidence,
buyers apparently knowing their wants
and merely recording their needs.

SAX Market Quiet.

Little activity was apparent in the
local or the foreign raw silk market
yesterday. following the receipt of ca
bles on Monday that the Yokohama
Bourse had been closed. The attitude of
the local market was one Of uncertainty
rather than OF alarm. "A report cur
rent carly In the morning, was that the
Yokohama market had reopened and
that prices were quoted on the Ex-
change at $S.25 a pound. No ccnfrma-
tion OF the rumor, however. was OBJ
tained In late cables from Yokohama.
More concerning the plan OF reelers to
form an organization to maintain prices
was heard, but reports differ as to its
exact nature.

Tho approach of the booking season
for lightweight spring and summer

attention to the probable reaction on

that heathers are still having large sales

stay Manufacturers are apparently
well booked and production is almost
evenly divided between heather and
lighter weights. Manufacturers declare
that heathcrs have passed beyond the

at those prices was negligible. Sheet

Not Concerned over Fluctuations.

Local silk mill agents are apparently
taking the violent fluctuations In the

fore the end of the week. Japanese
control Of the market will maintain pres
ent prices, according to the agent. until
