Wages of Rail Employees Are Re-

BY EDWARD W. PIckARD.

A MOTHER great strike is threat
4 ened, this time of the railroad
workers whose wages have been or
are TO be reduced by the United
States railway labor board. Already
the board has made public one deci-
sion cutting nearly S50,O00,0OO from
the annual wages of the maintenance
of way men. and before this reaches
the reader IL Is almost certain another
decision will have been published
slashing between $4,000. 900 and $75.-
100000 from the yearly pay of the
shopmen. Either ruling is sufficient
TO bring on a walkout If the men re-
main In their present state of mind,
and stiIl others may follow soon.
b first decision announced orders
a reduction Of 1872 per cent in the
prevailing pay of maintenance of way
men. effective July /. II affects about
100000 workers, and their new wage
will range from % to 80 cents an hour.
II WIS signed by the three public
members and the three railway men,
bers of the board. The three labor
members signed n dissenting opinion.
holding that the new pay does not
constitute the lust and reasonable"
wage guaranteed under the transpor-
tarion act, and that in fact It Toe not
represent n living wage. The major
ity report, however. points out that
Common labor on railways. even after
the reduction. will be better paid than
simiInr labor In most other industries.
Edward II. Fitzgerald, president of
the railway clerks organization. took
the lead in planning for the prospec-
tive strike. inviting sixteen chiefs of
rail unions to meet this week in Gin
cinnati. He was forestalling an ex-
pected decision by the federal board
cutting the pay of the clerks, telegra-
pliers and other smaller classes. There
is n possibility that this conference
will result In a defensive alliance be-
tween the railway workers and the
miners. Such a compact really was
formed several months ago, hut failed
10 provide for aggressive action un
less each step was approved by refer
endums of the various organizations
involved. This lack may be supplied
at the Cincinnati meeting.
The six federated shop crafts are
concerned not only In wage reduction.
They accuse twenty-five roads of VIC
lating the transportation act by let.
ting out shop work to contractors not
within the boards Jurisdiction. and
their president, d. NJ. Jewell. has de
minded that the board assume juris-
diction In these cnses md compel the
railroads TO restore conditions In eff
feet previous TO the alleged violations.
He said that unless this were done
strike ballots would be sent out. re-
gardless OF the wage issue. The board
already has shown that 1t sympnthizes
with the attitude OF the shopmen In
this matter.
Wages OF train service men are not
involved In the present and immedl-
arely prospective rulings of the labor
board.

CERMANY'S reply to the ultima

mission was e enough to complete
acceptance to satisfy Thai body, which,
after a days intensive study of the
note. telegraphed to Berlin its approx
al of the German promises to bal

of paper money. The commission then
turned ove to the committee of inter
national bankers in session in Paris
the entire question of German finances
and payment of PREPARATIONS. Those
bankers, among whom is ]. Pierpont
Morgan of the United States. are now
studying the questions of Germany's
capacity to pay, the guarantees she
can give for the series of huge loans
that will be necessary. and, in onnec-
ton with the latter. the possibilities
involved in the Russo-G German pact.
The German proposals were drawn
up by Finance Minister Hermes and
are not at all liked by some other
members of the Wlrth cabinet and
many members of the %reichstag. The
SHINES group especially attacked
them as n surrender of sovereignty
that will bring on catastrophe. The
reichstag refused to pass a vote of
lack of confidence in the government,
but the cabinet is believed TO be in a
shaky condition.
Lloyd George made a statement on
separations in the house of commons
in which he strongly intimated that
Germany would be granted reductions,
postponements and revisions when
these appeared necessary. and this
was greeted with cheers. France.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONY
IN MURDER TRIAL

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Jan TO-
The condition in which Clarence
W. Loud reached his home in Mel.
rose on the night of last April
when Patrolman James A. Preston
was shot and killed on the lonely
Lowell road, was described today
by witnesses at his trial on the
charge of murder. George F.
Shields and Alfred l.. Studley both
neighbors of Loud said he came
slouching up the street. his hands
in his pockets, his head down and
bleeding. When asked under cross
examination whether they had
seen any attempt by Loud to con-
ceal himself, the witness replied in
the negative.
Harold S. VALLEY, a policeman
of Melrose, testified that he went
to Loud's house shortly before II
P. M. in response to a telephone
call from Loud's wife. He said he
found Loud sitting in, a chair in
the living room with his shoes and
coat off. There were two bruises
on his forehead and a cut on the
back of his head. The witness
said Loud told him he stopped to
make some adjustments of the car
and was leaning over the radiator
when another car came up in which
there were apparently man and
a woman. The man asked if he
wanted help. Loud saw asman
confronting him and he remem-
bered nothing more until he recov-
cred consciousness sometime later.
He was then on another. road; he
did not know just where, according
to his statement as given to the
witness. He said Loud told him
his watch, pocketbook, containing
$50 were missing. Loud said he
walked in a dazed condition until
he found a street car track and
then followed it to his home. tt
witness told of the arrest of Loud
later in the night.

MICE ENJOY MUSIC
AND SERMON IN
NEWPORT CHURCH

A small sized riot was
caused at the Congregational
church Sunday morning by
two. or more sleek little
Congregational mice who
came out fom their haunts
TO enjoy the music and pre-
sumably the sermon. 1neir
conduct was rather unsecmly,
as they persisted in running
about even prcsuming to the
choir seats, which seemed to
be somewhat disconcerting TO
portions of the audience.
Rev. l.. A, Edwards, feeling
that the attention Of the con-
grcgation might be somewhat
distracted from his text,
paused in the service and APP
pointed city clerk, Il. W.
Spear, official mouse catcher.
Mr.. Spear went at his task
with an air of Saving the
women and children first and
the congregation remained
calm in the face of danger.
Mr.. Spear and Willis Ed
wards succeeded in eliminat-
ing one of the little rodents,
and putting the other on pro-
baton and the service pro-
cccded without further inter
ruption. Traps have now been
set in the auditorium and no
doubt the mice will fall for
the tempting bait.
