living WAGE"
PLEA REJECTED
BY RAIL BOARD
Says Proposal is Just
But Impractical
(Rv limited Pressl

CHICAGO, Oct 30.-Declaring that
1.-The living wage" proposition of rail-
road unions was lust but impractical
the railroad labor board today had flat
ly rejected the demand of the men
that the living wage" be made the
basis for new wage scale.
A majority opinion stated that if
carried out, the theory would wreck
every railroad in the country and if
carried into other industries would re-
suit in communistic ruin
The statement was the formal decis-
ion on the ruling issued ten days ago
granting a two cent an hour increase
in the minimum wage of maintenance
of way employees. The decision was
also in the nature of a reply to A. o.
Wharton, labor member of the board
who in a dissenting opinion advocated
recognition of the living wage
Living Wage" Defined
The ''living wage" as defined by rail-
road representatives was one which
would support a family of five. 1t was
claimed that the lowest living wage"
for common labor should range from
70 to IS cents an hour Under the
recent increase the board granted a
wage scale to maintenance men rang
ing from 25 to 81 cents an hour. The
majority opinion explained that the
granting of living wage would bring
the annual railroad payroll up to $5,-
589,445,993 This would make the to-
tai expenses approximately $7,540,871,-
773 a year while the total revenues
average about $5,563, 3,232,213. Thus the
railroads would face an annual deficit
of more than $4,000. .000, 900.
The decision also charged state
ments of the unions that the average
family consisted of five.

JAPAN'S CONSUMPTION

SHOWS BIG INCREASE
fBv Associated Press)

OSAKA, Japan, Oct 30.-The con-
sumption of sake, Japan's national
and potent drink, increased from 1866.
354 koku in 1914, to 6,782.176 in 1919,
and cigarettes from 1851, ,174, ,460 to
1895, 900, 600 in the same period.
These figures were quoted by DR.. Rem
taro Mizuno, minister of home affairs,
as evidence of the growing extrava-
gance OF the people of Japan.
Japan is still suffering from the
high prices of the war period" the
minister said THE causes may be
attributed to the continued extraVa
gance of the nation, which is apparent.
ly still dreaming of the war boom and
also to increased purchasing power
But the increasing purchasing power
of the Japanese people is lacking
soundness. The urgent need of today
is to break through the prevailing ex
travagant habits by the promotion oil
economy.
'The export and import trade OF
Japan III pre-war days stood in the
neighborhood of 1861 100000 yen
which increased to 4,272. 100000 ven ir
1919, while the excess of exports ove-
imports during this period amounted
to 1,400,000,000 yen. The specie also
showed most remarkable increase
This state of affairs is responsible for
the luxurious habits of the Japanese
people, But the foreign trade of the
country has, since the restoration OF
peace, been suffering a severe adverse
balance, the excess of imports over ex.
ports reaching 387,000,000 yen in 1920
361, 100000 yen in 1921 and as much
as 68,000,000 yen during the first hall
of this year alone"
DR.. Mizuno also spoke of the exces
sive prices charged for enter
tainers, to hear whom not more
than one yen would be charged in
America, get 10 yen to 20 yen fol

SOLUTION OF RAIL
PROBLEM is NEAR,
SAYS SEC. DAVIS

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 30.-Hope
of an early solution of the problem of
railroad conditions was expressed by
James ]. Davis, secretary of labor, in
a statement made public here last
night.
'In the past three weeks l have
travelled more than 5000 miles on
six of our great railway systems" Mr..
Davis said.
.On this trip have been able to get
in touch with the human factor in
transportation problems, having talked
with the men who do the work on
these roads.
81 have been impressed with the
strong sense of responsibility among
tne railroad workers and with their
recognition of the duty that they and
their employers owe to the whole
people. To my mind we are getting
close to a solution of the problem OF
insuring industrial peace on our rail
roads.
Men Feel responsibility
"The men who do the work are al
most universally convinced that means
can be found to adjust the relations
of the railroads and their employees in
such a way as to eliminate all posi-
bility of great railroad strikes. There
seems to be a feeling among the work.
ers that government meddling with
out real power behind it tends to stir
up dissatisfaction and irritation and
that decentralization of the treatment
OF railroad labor controversies is vital
ly needed.
81 am hopeful that by the time
have returned to Washington it will be
possible to formulate a definite pro-
gram that will deal sensibly and prac.
tically on human basis with the prob.
lem of railroad labor conditions"

Reign of Old Rule
in Italy is Broken
Under New Premier
(By United Pressl
BY CAMlLLO CsANFARRA

ROME. Oct 30-Assumption of the
premiership by Bonito Mussolini
leader of the Fascist marks the end
of a regime of 20 years of statesmen
of the old school and is the advent
of young blood in Italian affairs.
For the past years the kingdom of
Victor Emmanuel has governed b.
men who practically lost all notions
as to the meaning of democracy.
Every cabinet made a series OF
concessions of the radical elements.
During the war all sorts of impossible
promises, from the free distribution
of land, enfranchisement of the litter.
ate, were made to the Italians in the
trenches.
Obviously. most of the promises
could not be kept, which caused gen,
eral dissatisfaction throughout the
country and resulted in many social
ist victories at the polls in 1919.
Socialists in Power
In 1920 the Socialists, having had
their first taste of power, occupied
many industrial plants throughout the
land.
This marked the turning point in the
situation and was the beginning of q
reaction on the part of the conserva
tive elements which eliminated in the
occupation of Rome by the Fascist.
Strictly speaking the present revolt
only means that the old governing
classes personified by Giolitti, Orlando
and Salandra, which in 20 years ere
ated leviathanic bureaucracy and after
the war squandered billions by costly
concessions, have gone.
Old Rule is Broken
The populists and Socialists who
maintained their individual politica
status by the distribution of patron
age which came out of the public
purse, are now doomed to make way
for the younger forces who have
sprung from the war.
From monarchy to parliament, there
is not single institution which j:
threatened, except the parasitic one:
which have cost the country UNTOLD
millions
1t is expected that drastic measures
will be taken by Mussolini to balanct
the National Budget and to cut out al
non-essentiaI expenditures Paternal
ism in government will undoubtedly
be thing of the past.
Unless all indications fail, the Ease
isti who are not bound by traditional
obligations or party affiliations are tt
give the country a sane, economic gov
ernment, including a cabinet of thu
most able and patriotic elements.

BILE doubt was expressed here today by
physicians and police authorities re-
garding the alleged insanity of Mrs.
the Rev. Leonard ]. ChristIer, by a
coroner's jury Saturday.
DIR. Carl Foss. who testified at the
coroner's inquest said he had been
Mrs. Carletons physician and that he
had given her a prescription of sleep
ing powders to cure her chronic ner-
vousness. DR.. Foss declared Mrs.
Carlston might have been suffering
from an overdose of the sleeping pow
ders. She was found dead beside the
pastors body.
Mrs F. B. Martin testified that Mrs.
Carlston had admitted taking an over
dose of powders on Wednesday DIR.
Foss said that this would produce 80
hours sleep, leaving the patient ire
sponsible for several hours following
awakening. He intimated that Mrs.
Carlston was possibly still under the
influence of the sleeping powder when
the rector was shot.
Corroborates Story
Chief of police Moran corroborated
Mrs. Christler's story of the tragedy
and said that no third person could
have been in the hall of the Christler
home at the time of the shooting. The
condition of the bodies and the finding
of Mrs. Carleston's burned clothing en-
phasized suicide theory, Chief Moran
said.
Mrs. Christler left Havre yesterday
morning for Waterloo, n. Y, with her
husbands body.
Mrs. Carleston's body is being held
here awaiting advice from her former
husband, Judge Frank Carleston, who
! is in Los Angeles.

To The Women of
Union County
Greenwood, April % 1902

greenwood, April 20, 1922.
10 the Women Of Union County:
fiease allow me to call you atten-
tion to the fact that the various DEM
ocratlc clubs are to meet on the
fourth Saturday of this month for re-
organization and to elect delegates to
the county convention, which will he
held on the following Monday, Nav
1st. Since the average voter comes
into direct contact with the manage
ment of her party only at the club
meetings, it is urged that every wo-
man who has attained her majority. or
who will become 81 years of age be-
fore the general election in November.
attend the meeting which will be held
in her precinct on April 29th
OF course, it is taken for granted
that each club in electing delegates to
the county convention will provide for
fair representation of women, but.
since time immemorial, it has been
the custom to select men only, this
provision may be overlooked unless
women are present as reminder that
they, also, are citizens. Then, too, the
delegation chosen by the county con-
vention to the state convention should
he composed of both men and women:
ard woman, as well as man, should
oe selected to represent the county on
the State Democratic Executive Com.
mittee The Democratic party now
requires that the National Executive
Committee shall comprise two men,
bers, man and a woman, from each
state, Mrs. Julian B. Salley, of Aiken,
being our representative.
In conclusion, let me say that the
nineteenth amendment gives the vote
alike to the woman who wanted it and
TO the woman who thought she did
rot want it. Neither has the right
to neglect it. 1t now becomes Just as
much the duty of every woman in
South Carolina to use her ballot for
the public welfare as it has for gen
erations, been the duty of the men to
employ the franchise for the best in
terests of the state. Shall we prove
less mindful and worthy of the trust
than they?
