THE WOODROW WILSON
FOUNDATION

The active campaign for the
raising of Wise county's qncts
for the Woodrow Wilson Foun-
dation will begin shortly and
will last for one week. VIM. A..
Stuart, of Big Stone Gap, has
been appointed chairman for the
counties of Dickinson, Wise and
Lee, and complete local organ
ization is now being perfected.
The purpose Of the foundation
is to create n trust fund of one
million dollars or more by popu-
lar subscription, the income
from which will be used in pro-
viding awards or prizes which
will he presented from time to
time by committee of national
prominent citizens to persons
who have rendered meritorious
service to democracy, public vel
fare, liberal thought or peace
through justice.
Nobody is una ware that Wood
row Wilson has written his name
large ON the most critical page OF
history. His critics will agree 10
that as readily as will his admir-
ers. Those who have disagreed
with him have done 50 on &C,
count of his methods rather than
on account of the ends which he
was striving for. If the purpose
of the Wilson Foundation were
merely 10 preserve the memory

of the man and of his efforts it
would be supernuous, for both of
them are more sure to be remem-
bered than the foundation is.
The aim Of the foundation is to
help in such ways as it can to
realize and perpetuate some of
the purposes that Mr.. Wilson has
stood for.

WASHINGTON, June 2.--The next
wage reduction order of the rail-
,oad labor board at Chicago will
nroyide for slashes in the pay of
more than a million additional rail-
vay workers, including not only
the shop crafts, but all employees
sycept those who are members of the
,'plg -Four" transportation brother
hoods It was learned authoritative
ly here today. The new reductions
will average five cents per hour and
are expected to take effect on July
/, like those already ordered for the
maintenance OF way employees.
New Cuts 10 Come.
Although slight changes may be
made in the labor boards schedule
before the forthcoming order is is
sued, latest reports are that the new
cuts would be as follows:
Five cents per hour for supervis-
,ng clerks. freight handlers, switch
board operators. messengers, office
boys, mail distributors. station en-
ployes, janitors, laborers in and
around stations and warehouse gate
men, train announcers. ticket exam

Four to six cents per hour for
ordinary clerks.
Seven cents per hour for helpers
and apprentices in shop crafts.
Big Four in Offing.
After these pay cuts are ordered
BY the labor board, It will still have
under consideration demands of the
railroads for reductions In the wages
Of members OF the big Four"
transportation brotherhood. Off,
cials here expect that similar cuts
will be offered in the pay Of en-
gineers firemen. conductors and
others in this classification.
Railroad labor leaders are unani-
nous in their belief that a nation
wide transportation tie-up Is inevi-
: table as a protest against these pay
: reductions. but there are differences
! Of opinion as to when the strike will
be most defective. II Is pointed out
the workers themselves have beer
clamoring for a strike during the
past several months and that strike
votes are certain to reveal an almost
unanimous demand for an immediate
walkout.

the pavement. The crowd OF spec
tators. which had formed into "A
solid mass extending from store
front to far past the curbing on each
side OF the marchers. made little
more noise than the participants In
the masked demonstration. Only
spoken comment and discussion
OF the affair issued from the mass
who watched the klansmen pursue
their course.
The parade entered tho city from
the west. on Dewey avenue, which
held the largest audience, and con-
tinued along that thoroughfare until
the entire business district had been
traversed, after which Il passed to
