CLEMRNCEAU'S APPEAL.

SLh IA AI
Former Premier Georges Clemen-
ceau-the Tiger OF France" and her
bulwnrk Of safety during the greatest
stress OF the World WARM his ad-
dress At the Metropolitan Opera House,
New York City, Tuesday night. made
an appeal for his country that should
SO to the heart Of every true Ameri-
can citizen. He pleaded for France,
asked that she be given the sympathy
and support OF the people OF the United
States In efforts TO assure a continue
ton of her national autonomy and
salvation from the menace Of the sui
len and aggressive German foe. Here
are the leading and most potent fea-
lures Of his eloquent and effective de-
liverance:
The militarists in Germany al
ready are preparing another war.
Don't you know what that
mcans?"
The rapprochement of the
Turks and Soviet Russia is omi-
nous. and meantime Ludendorff
| and other German military lead
ers are planning coup against
the democratic government in
Berlin.
4 This il time of greatest
| ! crisis" and the United States
should renew conversations with
France and England which. with
out definitely committing the
country to any set program, should
revive for German eyes the pic
ture Of the three unpleasant folks
who faced and beat her in the war.
Sooner or later America will
have to interest herself in the af-
fairs of Europe, because she can
not continue TO be comfortable
and wealthy II Europe is weltering
in blood
He asked. therefore, that the
United States frame a plan to
carry out the terms of the Peace
Treaty and join with England and
France in imposing it on Germany.
He frankly criticised Americas
postwar attitude, saying that
since America had had a large
share in imposing the peace terms
she had a duty 10 see that they
were carried out.
Until all the elements Of discord ar
subdued and the terms of the Peac
Treaty completely carried out, ther

her large burden of war preparedness
in times of peace as long as the Ger

A Limit to Rate Increases.

Railroad rates cannot be increased
indefinitely. There is a rule Of
economies known as the law of di.
minishing returns. 1t means that YOU
can raise rates for a certain period
and obtain more money thereby.
After you pass a certain point of in
crease, instead OF getting more money
You get less because the charge is too
high for the traffic to bear and there
fore fewer shipments are made. Late
in the year 1920 that point was reach
ed. Prices Of commodities went down
ana rates stayed up. Shipments
stopped. In many cases, particularly
in cases OF agricultural products, the
price which a commodity would bring
at the market was little or no more
than the freight rate to me market.
or course. no farmer would skip a heg
to market IL the freight cost OF the
shipment would equal the whole price
obtained. The result was that the
! farmer lost the sale and the railroad
lost the traffic. Everybody lost

selling them for junk. The steel
value was higher than the track

The same is true OF railroad equip

 The clerks were cut 8 cents an hour in the case of those who have had two years or more experience and 4 cents for others, with mini mum starting salary of S60 a month for beginners. After six months ser vice, a minimum of S7O was set, and after a year, rates are set according to ability, position and seniority.
 Shop mechanics receive, under the boards new order, a minimum of 70 cents an hour, a reduction of cents. Due to higher rating and seniority many employees receive slightly higher rate.

Table of Wage Cuts Made by
 Labor Board

Chicago, H., July.-Wage slashes totaIing $135,OOO,OOO annually went into effect on the railroads of the country July l. There are apprOxi- mateIy 1.425,OOO railway workers in the service at present, but probably not more than one million of these will feel the cut in their pay env- elopes.
 Three decisions of the United States Railroad Labor Board during the last month and half form the basis for the wage reductions. SeY- eraI classes of employees, notably the engineers, fremen. conductors and trainmen. were not included in the reductions and no decision has yet been issued for one other group, the telegraphers, and the train dispatch CTS suffered no reduction whatever.
 The railway employees were not hit as hard this year as when the board cut the wages of all workers last year a total of $S5O, O,OOO.The cuts ranged from one to nine cents an hour TOT various classes Of work CTS, while certain groups of semi official and supervisory employees es- caped the pruning knife entirely
 The maintenance of way men, who formerly received from 2S to 40 cents an hour, were cut five cents, making the new range from 23 to S5
