 The airship was detained upon its arrival by representatives of the British air forces and the free state ordered the pilot not to leave without permission. This was obtained and he took of for the re- turn. Circling the city before point ing his ship toward England.

N. H. ROAD WORKERS
 REFUSE WAGE CUTS
Central New England EmployS
 Join in Protest at Decision
INCREASE MORE EQUITABLE
Protest of Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and Station Elm ployes Says There Is No Justifica- tion for Reduction.

New Haven. June 29-The state ment prepared by direction of the ad Justment com. of the brotherhood of railway and steamship clerks, freight handlers. express and station em- ployes on the New Haven railroad and the Central New England railroad against the application of decision number 1074 of the U. S. Railroad Labor Board was ready for presenta- ton to General Manager c. l.. Rsrdo today.
 The statement is signed by R. c. Stearns of Providence, general chair man, and says in part, after reference to the decision in question:
 Decline to Accept.
 T am authorized to advise that we respectfully decline to accept a fur ther wage reduction and earnestly protest the application of the pro- visions of this decision of the en- ployes represented on said railroads for the reasons set forth below:
 No Justification.
 After careful review of the wage situation since the reduction in wages brought about by the labor boards decision number 147 and number 426 taken in conjunction with the large reduction in the clerical and station forces resulting in additional loss of pay other than that authorized by the labor board; we maintain that there is no justification whatever for a further reduction in the rates of pay at the present time as the aforemen- tioned reduction in the forces amount to nearly so per cent. of the number of employees in the service on July 1. 1920, in the larger departments and stations, which means that the older and experienced employees are now performing additional work at re- duced rates
 Increase Is Needed.
 Existing conditions in New Eng land and New York territory are such IS to demand an increase rather than ] decrease in the rates of pay for the classes of employees represented, We nave received many family budgets !! covering the cost of living in the cities | md towns served by the New York, 1 New Haven and Hartford and Central 1 New England railroads which plainly ! how that the employees are not re- eiving a sufficient wage to maintain ln average family in health and i easonable comfort and give an idea If the true conditions and difficulties experienced by hundreds of employees n their efforts to meet the cost of lving.'
 Great Injustice.
 The statement says that the reduc- ions to be applied by the manage nents would mean reductions beyond hose authorized by the labor board 0 similar employees on other roads nd as this is "a great injustice urthera consideration is requested be- ore those reductions are put into fleet on July 1.

Chicago, June 2s (By Associated Press)-The first actual step toward . rail strike of railroad workers in pro. test against decisions of the U. S. rail. road labor board was taken last night when J, w. Kline, president of the international brotherhood of black smiths, drop forgers and helpers sent telegram to the members of his craft, numbered among the shop workers authorizing a cessation of work at 10 a. m, Saturday July 1 ac- cording to news stories published here today.

 The shopmen's strike is in protest against the wage reductions, the aboli- ion of rules by the railroad labor board and the farming out of shop york to contractors. Maintenance of ways men balloted solely on the wage 'eduction.

EUROPEAN SITUATION

One of the Soviet delegates to
the Hague Conference, NJ. Sokol-
nikov, reports that Europe is dis
integrating. Probably the wish
was father to the thought, al
though the situation is indeed deS-
perate. France and England can-
not seem to get together in the
matter OF German separations. Ii
Lloyd George and Poincare should
find their views irreconcilable, an
other European war looms large
on the horizon There is intense
unrest i'll Europe and the continent
tai nations are practically ON a
war-footing, with military expen-
ditureS increasing rather than di-
miniShing. The next few weeks
in London are ominous in portent.
But there is always hope in par
leyS. In the meantime let the
United States continue to be
thankful for the Atlantic Ocean.

BETTER WEAPONS

BY THE TIME pottery was first
made, Europe had changed in many
ways. The climate was now less
cold and severe. Britain had been
cut off from Europe by water, be-
cause a strip of land had sunk. Ire
land had also become an island.
The Mediterranean sea had. over
flowed and had cut the strips of
land which once joined Africa to
Europe.
The people of Europe no longer
feared or fought the fierce hairy
mammoth, for it long ago had van
jshea nortbward after. the melting
$of the last great glacier.
L, There were still plenty of wild
animals in Europe, however. Wolves,
foxes and wildcats were often to be
seen. The reindeer had partly dis
appeared, but there were many red
deer and elk. Brown bears and
grizzly bears helped to keep things
interesting for the hunters.
What were the hunters using at
This time?
Bows and arrows, spears, daggers
and Sings. Study the pictures
closely. l think you will agree that
those arrow-heads and knives are
works of beauty. See how delicately
they are Clipped.

thousands shaped by the people OF
Europe in the later portion of the
Stone Age. There were special
spots at which flint was dug up

than an addition of one to the long
series of scandals which have dis
graced the country but remained I'M
punished if not unnoticed, by the Re-
publican Congress and the Republican
President.
Joseph W. Tolbert, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman for South Caro-
lima, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, and Republican 're-
fierce" in the distribution of Federal
patronage in his state, is the latest
official of his party to face charges
of bartering his political influence
for money. Senator Nathaniel E. Dial,
(Dem.) South Carolina, ras filed with
Senate subcommittee accusations
against Tolbert, who has been ap-
pointed by President Harding to be
United States Marshal for the West
ern District of South Carolina. The
nomination has not yet been confirm
ed by the Senate.
Senator Dial, in substantiation of
his charges against Tolbert, has sub
mitted to the Senate subcommittee
now making an inquiry, testimony of
various wrongdoings on the part of
this National Republican Commit
teeman and nominee for an important
Federal office. One allegation is that
Federal appointments, made on Toll
bert's recommendation as referee"
were sold for one-half of the first
years salary, the sums thus assessed
and collected ranging from $500 to
$4,000. Senator Dial said an affidavit
made by a former follower of Tolbert
declares he expressed the hope of
realizing 100000 from this husks-
tering of Federal jobs. Tolbert, it is
charged, divided the state into dis
tricts, in each of which he put p
henchman to collect fees from apph-
cants for appointments.
In dispising Of the various appoint
ments, such as those to postoffices,
Tolbert is alleged to have ignored
former service men and women, and
has sought to Gust a number rof wo-
men from their positions as post
mistresses. One Of Tolbert's agents,
or referees, was recently rejected
by the Senate Post Office Committee
