CUT IN WAGES OF
 MAINTENANCE MEN
Rail Labor Board Announces Decision Affecting 100000 Employees
 LabOrerS Bear Brunt,

Chicago, May 2S.-More than $46,- 100000 was slashed from the wages of 100000 railway employees in a de- cision by the United States Railroad Labor Board tonight.
 The decreases, which averaged five cents per hour in the majority of cases, followed cuts of $400,000,0 ,000 made last July by the board. Today's decision, however, affects mostly maintenance of way workers, al though decisions are pending affect ing their classification.
 If the wage cuts made in this latest decision are extended to others ex- pected soon it was pointed out in rail- way circles, much of the $600,000, ,O0O increase given by the board in 1920 will be wiped out, and wages will be restored to level which railway off, cials have told the board will lead the way to the employment of 20O,- 900 men.
 The decision is expected to reduce present pay rolls of the railroads about $4S, S,000,000 a year, and to re- duce the pay of the majority of the maintenance of way men five cents an hour, but important classes of em- ployes are given smaller cut. Under the majority head are included track laborers and other classes usually designated as common laborers.'
 Is Dissenting Opinion.
 The decision was signed by three railroad members of the board and three members representing the pub lie group. A dissenting opinion was filed by the three members represent ing the labor group.
 The dissenting opinion contends that the wage scale provided in the decision is insufficient to sustain life on the basis of American standards.
 The boards decision followed the hearings held at the request of rail roads for wage reductions and the counter request of several classes of employees for increases in pay. These hearings began in Chicago March G. and ended April %. All except three or four of the larger railway systems of the country were interested in the hearing, which included all classes of employees, except those in train, yard and engine service, who then were conducting negotiations with the rail roads which had not terminated when the hearings began.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK
 BADLY MuDDLED
Experts Are Unable to Agree OH Influences Controlling Re-
 cent Primaries.

Washington, May 28.-Everybody is theorizing On the forces at work in the electorate producing the results which have attracted attention in re- cent primaries, notably Republican primaries
 Everybody seems to be more or less at sea on the subject, the politicians no less than the unpractised obscrv- CT of political happenings. The spec u,atiCn runs the gamut of all myster- ous forces conceivable from revolt against the administration to the ap- pcarance of enfranchised woman as a determining element in the selection of public officials.
 The theory that Republicans were registering dissatisfaction with the administration was based on tho de- feat of the presidents personal friend, Senator New of Indiana, by former Senator Beveridge and on the triumph of Clifford Pinchot over the Pcnrose machine in Pennsylvania, both Pinchot and Beveridge were former Bull Mooaers.
 Net a Buli Moose Revival,
 A good many people immediately jumped to the conclusion that the progressive party was not dead but merely had been sleeping and now was waking to make a protest which Originally had been evoked prema- turely by 10 years. Both Beveridge and Pinchot, however, have hastened to align themselves with President Harding and to declare for his renom- ination and the president has welcom- ed them to the fold.
 A striking aspect of the Indiana primary was the aspect of the Indi- ana primary was the heavy vote cast for Beveridge not only in the agricul tural communities but in the industri- al centers. He had dwelt conspicu- ously on the need of reducing freight rates, for which the farmers have been clamoring. but had advocated a sales tax, which the combined power of agriculture and labor in Congress has defeated every time it has been brought forward.
 President Harding has advocated a sales tax to finance the soldiers bon us and for more than a year he has been working to get freight rates re- missed that the results of the primar- ies spurred him to such fresh activity as calling the radical reduction of rates and moving for the abolition of the 12-hOur day in the steel industry.

5 MILLION DOLLAR CRED-
 IF TO COTTON GROWERS
Little Rock Clearing House Grants Big Loan to Cooperative
 Association.

Little Rock, May 27.-The Little Rock Clearing House Association at meet ing yesterday afternoon decided by unanimous vote to extend a credit Of $3,000,000 to the Arkansas Cotton Growers Association to enable that organization to finance the marketing of cotton of it's members next fall. This was the full amount asked for citation and the bankers promised that they would increase this amount, if necessary.
 Charles G. Henry, president, and John l. Eldridge, secretary who rep resented the cotton association, said after the close of the meeting that sae action Uf the clearing house absolute | ly and finally solved all financial problems of the cotton association.
 Financial Problem Solved.
 We anticipate that it will require between $5,000,O00 and $6,0O0,00o to finance the operations of the cotton association next fall,' said President Henry. With this line of credit granted by the Little Rock clearing House Association as a basis it will be a very easy mater to raise the re- mainder. With this $3,000,000 as a starter. there will be no trouble bOr- rowing all the money We will need from the War Finance Corporation provided that Congress decdies to con- tinue the War Finance Corporation next year. Of this there can be no doubt. The Senate already has pass ed the bill continuing the corporation for another year and there seems to be no doubt that the House will take similar action.
 'In granting loans to organizations such as ours, the War Finance Cor poration has insisted that the associa- ton should have a local line of credit equal to from 20 to 40 per cent of it's needs. We are assured of local credit equal to more than 50 pei cent of our needs so there is no doubt that our application for a lean from the War Finance Corporation would go through WithOVt question.

Finances Ire Assured.

But even if Congress should not continue the War Finance Corpora ton, We still will be able to finance operations of the cotton association without difficulty. If necessary, we could go through with the $3,O0O,00O granted us by the Little Rock banks. but this will not be necessary in any event because the local banks have promised to increase their credit if necessary and in addition there is no doubt that other banks out in the state would grant us all the credit We need if We should call on them."
