LOWER PASSENGER RATES
ORDERED
Railroad Workers Wages Cut and a
Strike May Result.

Washington, May 20.--LoWcr pas
scrgcr fares on the railroads will iol-
lcW the sweeping cuts i'll fright rates,
high government officials declared
Friday.
A strong minority II the interstate
commerce commission maintains that
lower passenger fares are essential to
larger revenues from the travelling
public.
Pople are not doing mitch travelling
now under present high rates. This
was shown by interstate commerce
commission figures revealing that pas
sengcr traffic on all railroads in the
United States is 7ooo,ooo,ooo passen-
ger miles below normal.
Administration officials believe the
roads must cut their passenger fares
10 lower figure to attract more
earnings from that source.
The decision Of the commission on
freight rates, which prcsurposcs a big
cut in Iabors wage, is not altogether
satisfactory TO many members OF the
cabinet While these members are
outspokcn i'll the opinion that labor
may be expected to share reasonable
cuts i'll pay they are skcptical that the
commission horizontal rate slash
will solve the rail problem. A thor
oueh oycrhauling Of the entire rate
structure is necessary, they believe.

FACTORY TEAMS
GROUPED CLOSE
Terra Gotta Teams Have a
Chance if Dry Docks Lose
Two Games

The Industrial Baseball League is
gradually being brought to a close,
the schedule calling for each team
playing twelve bames. The original
schedule was for fifteen games each,
but the United Lead Works team
dropped from the league after play
ing and winning three straight
games. In order to even up the
standing these three games have
been discarded and have not been
counted as losses against the teams
that played the Lead Works.
The above standing shows the Dry
Docks leading with quite a safe mar
gin with only three remaining games
to be played A victory for the New
Jersey Terra Gotta will put them on
an equal footing with the Atlantic
Terra Gotta. The Perth Amboy
Hardware and Bakelite teams are
out of the running as far as any
chance of winning the league goes.
Only one game is scheduled thus
far for next week, it being between
the Perth Amboy Hardware team
and the New Jersey Terra Gotta
on the Wonderland Park diamond
next Wednesday night. Other
games may be arranged.
