F0RSHOP HELP
Union Chief Tells Railway
Labor Board Men Don't
Get Living Wage.
By International News Service.

CHICAGO, March 2S.-PhysiCal
and moral bankruptcy for the nation
unless a living wage is paid to work
ers was prophesied today by B. M.
Jewell, head Of the railway employees
department of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in a statement to the
United States Railway Labor Board.
Jewell is presenting the arguments
of the shop crafts unions against
wage cuts asked by the carriers.
"The railroad industry does not
pay living wage to the. mechanics
employed in its shops" Jewell
charged. TT is argued that the rail-
roads must meet their fixed charges.
The general rule in business is that
a concern which cannot meet its fixed
charges Is bankrupt. 1t seems TO me
that a healthful standard of living
for his family represents a mans
fixed charge. Failure to meet this
means the realest kind of bank
ruptcy."
Jewell presented figures based on
an analysis Of the monthly expenses
Of 254 families of railway workers,
which, he contended, showed wages
paid by the roads were insufficient
for the support of these families. The
average income of these families
amounted to s1.933.5o per year; while
the average expenditure was Sl,9S9.6i.
The deficit, he said, usually was made
up by taking in boarders or some
other work outside of railway en-
ployment.

SHERIFF AND PRISONER

While being brought here in an

under his shirt, and ordered Pan,

BY POLITICUS.

The mysterious intrigue which
cast the shadow OF suspicion on
the arms conference treaties while
they were being framed have now
extended to the floor OF the
United States Senate. Although
Senator Lodge, with the other
conference delegates. signed a spe-
cial declaration exempting domes-
tic questions from the operations
of the four.power alliance, he now
refuses TO permit the Senate TO
ratify that document, apparently
in fear that Japan would expose
the whole fraud by refusing to
consent TO a similar ratification.
When Senator Hitchcock cor
nered the Massachusetts states
man on Saturday. the latter pro-
fessed a readiness TO permit the
Senate TO ratify the document
which guaranteed the exemption
of domestic questions. Yesterday,
however, he presented new sub
terfuge. Instead of allowing the
Senate to ratify the formal con.
vention which the delegates had
signed, the chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee under
took TO emasculate its power and
refused to permit the Senate to
do more than to incorporate it's
text in Senatorial reservation,
which he said he would accept as
an addition to the ratification Of
the supplemental four-power
treaty that takes from the main
land of Japan the blessings OF
the four-power alliance.
Refuses to Explain.
At no time has Senator Lodge
dared to explain why he refuses
to permit the Senate formally 10
ratify the declaration signed by
The Washington times., 1922-03-28

all the delegates to except from
the alliance operations all domes-
tic questions. In many circles,
this refusal has been interpreted
as evidence that Senator Lodge
has reason to believe that Japan
would not consent TO a similar
ratification.
Senators Robinson. Hitchcock
and Walsh of Montana pointed
out that this would leave the Pa
cific coast unprotected against
any attempt by Japan to force
a reference to an international
conference of the dangerous Jap
anese immigration question. But
Senator Lodge refused to bulge.
Senators Lenroot. Kellogg and
Spencer sought to help the Mass
aChusetts Senator by number
OF pettifogging bubbles, out the
latter declared ne would stand by
his suggestion of making a mere
reservation out OF a formal in
ternational convention.
The Lodge temper has not been
improved by the events of Friday
and Saturday, and his share of
the days debate was as irsacible
as ever. Believing himself back
ed by the Republican majority
and such Democrats as Senator
Underwood may still he able TO
muster, Senator Lodge felt him
self the dictator of the situation.
No arguments could move him to
take a step which might afford
real protection against Japanese
insistence upon an international
settlement of the Japanese i'm
migration question.
Fight Has Only Begun.
The fight apparently, however,
has only begun. Although the
Senators who disagree with Sena-
tor Lodge are in n minority, they

are sufficiently powerful to make
the Massachusetts Senator fight
every inch Of the way. AS he
has changed front twice since the
ill-starred moment in which he
rode roughshod over Senator
Hitchcock on Friday, there are
still plenty of opportunities TO
force him to give a more respect
full hearing OF the issue. 1t seems
particularly likely that a bonfire
will be started on the Pacific
coast. where the Japanese tmmi.
grafton question is far more vital
than in the Massachusetts bay
region, and where an attempt 70
safeguard anything against Jap
anese aggression by a mere one
sided reservation not formally in
dorsed by the Tokyo government,
is looked upon as a subterfuge
rather than a protection.
Senator ShortridRe of Califor-
not, for instance, who supported
Senator Lodge on the ratification
of the four-power> alliance, has
kept his address out of the Con-
gressional Record-an action that
seems doubly interesting because
Senator Shortridge had placed a
100 per cent faith in the formal
declaration that all domestic ques-
tions would be specifically ex-
empted from the treaty's opera
tion. That was before Senator
Lodge had undertaken to sup
press that document.
The last three days of proceed
ings in the Senate seem definitely
to have wrecked one pet Wash
ington belief. that Senator Lodge
has a giant intellect and that he
is a great Senatorial leader. Hinky

which are to be disposed Of after
1t is ratified. Having successfully
survived the opposition which was|
centered upon the Four Power pact

1t is anticipated that the worlds
