fight he is doing every other manu-
facturer as well as working men

LABOR BOARD
WILL PASS ON
LIVING WAGE
Ruling on Request as
to What Is Fair Pay
Will Be Made Today.
Roads Say Union Chief
Is Out of Order With
Routine to Raise Pay.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-(By The Associ-
ated Press.)-With the resumption of
the hearing Tuesday of the mainten-
ance of way organization case involv-
ing wages and rules covering its 4O0,-
900 members, the United States rail
road labor board will rule on formal
request to define the moot question,
"What constitutes a living wager
This announcement was made by Ben
w. Hooper, chairman of the board,
when he adjourned Mondays session.
Jett Lauck, statistical expert for the
maintenance of way organization, made
motion for the ruling on behalf of
President e. f. Cradle and his col
leagues.
Objects to Procedure
A surprise came late Monday in the
form of an objection to President
CRADLES argument for increase based
on a Ascent an hour minimum. The
issue was brought forward by DR.. A.
p Neal, representative of the south
eastern roads, who declared that Presi-
dent Cradle had not the right under
the transportation act to base his argu-
ment on this basis. Men have not in
any case submitted to individual roads
under my representation demand for
an increase for wages based on 4S
cents an hour minimum" declared DR..
Neal. Instead, in all conferences be-
tween the managements of the roads
of the southeast and the maintenance
of way representatives, the scale rang
ing from 361a cents to 48 cents an
hour was discussed. Under the pro-
visions of the transportation act, there
fore, President Cradle has no right to
come before the board and argue for an
increase based on a Ascent minimum,
as this minimum was never at issue in
any of our conferences"
Other Sections Concur
John Higgins, representative of the
western roads, and John G. Walber,
spokesman for the eastern roads, both
signified their approval and participa-
ton in DR.. Meals objections, saying
that the Ascent minimum was never at
issue in negotiations on their roads.
Chairman Hooper indicated that no ac-
ti0n would be taken on this point until
the submissions were checked to make
positive that no reference had been
made to the minimum of 4S cents an
hour. The objections interposed Dy
DR.. Neal and supported by representa-
tives of the other roads threaten to
lead to expurgation of the record of
all mention of a Accents an hour min
imum. In that event President Cradle
will. Of necessity, continue his argu-
ment on a basis of scales set forth in
the submission of individual roads.

COAL MEN SAY OPERATORSCUT
WACESBEFORE AGREEMENT OUT

Pueblo, Colo, Aug. 2S.-Suit for
damages against II Colorado coal ope-
rators probably will be brought within
few days in district No. Is, United
Mine Workers, in an effort to collect
between 100000 and $5OOOo0 in back
pay alleged to be due the coal miners
employed in those mines, according to
Felix Pogliano, secretary of district
No. Is.
Pogliano claims the operators broke
their contracts with the union several
months before the contracts expired on
April /, 1922, and the men were
forced to take lesser wage for sew
eral months previous to April 1. when
the contracts expired and the mine
workers struck.
The mine workers are basing their
action along lines similar to a suit

MAY REACH VOTE
ON SOLDIER BONUS
IN SENATE TO-DAY
Limit Discussion on Amend
ments to 20 Minutes to
Speed Action.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-senate de-
bate Monday on the soldiers bonus
bill centered largely on the land recla-
mation amendment offered by Senator
McNary, republican, Oregon, but Meth
er that nor either of the other amend
ments came to a vote.
The unanimous consent agreement
limiting discussion ON amendments to
20 minutes for each senator will be-
come operative Tuesday and leaders
were hopeful that final vote on the
bill itself could be had before adjourn
ment. In the discussion Monday Sena-
tors Wadsworth Of New York and
Sterling of South Dakota, republican,
voiced their opposition to the bonus.
-altleugh Senator Sterling supported
the reclamation project. Senators
Nicholson, republican, Colorado, and
Heflin, democrat, Alabama, supported
the bill, the former also arguing in
favor of the McNary amendment. Sena-
for Nicholson attacked the business
men opposing the bonus, mentioning
particularly the United States Steel
corporation and the Standard Oil COM
pany. He charged that the latter COM
pany profited through ''unconscionable
prices charged during the war and
Gary, chairman of the board of the
compensation for the veterans when
his company had made great profits" !"
During the war Senator Wadsworth
was particularly vigorous in his attack
on the measure. He declared that the
bonus could be financed only through
taxes now or later and that the Amer
ican people had reached a limit in the
burden they could bear. He also
argued that the veterans themselves
their wives and their children would
have to work harder in the years to
come to pay back the money the former
soldiers received, which, he contended,
would be insufficient to afford any
lasting benefits.
The New York senator argued that
the measure could not be properly
termed an adjusted compensation
eill because it proposed to treat all
men alike. no matter what their pay
in war time and whether they needed
aid. Attacking the bank loan provis-
ions. he asserted that this was an in
vitation from the government to self
respecting men to borrow from the
banks and then repudiate their notes,
leaving to the government the payment
of sums borrowed.
= The reclamation plan received the
support of several senator's from the
west and south and was unopposed in
the debate. Senators Ransdell, Louisi-
ana, and Fletcher, Florida, democrats,
pictured the benefits that would ac-
crue in their states, while Senators
Walsh of Montana and Pittman of Ne
vada, democrats, joined Senator Me-
Nary in reviewing the benefits that
had resulted from the enactment of the
hasic reclamation law in 1902.

York, who sued the manufacturers for
breach of contract and, according to
Pogliano, were successful in obtaining
back pay for the workers whose wages
were cut before atheir agreements ex-
pired. The wage cut in last December.
January and February was in violation
of agreement and the men struck.
Pogliano said. The strike did not last
long, owing to national conditions and
the men returned to work under pro-
test, he said.
1t is the expectation of the union
that if the suit based on a violation
of agreement effective before April /
is brought in the courts, the men will
be able to collect the difference be-
tween the regular union scale and that
put into effect by the operators in
December, January and February. This
is estimated at between 100000 and
$500,000.
