PARIS, July 1S.-Eight citizens of
the Georgian republic are scheduled to
appear in the Assizes court at Dix en-
Province next Thursday to answer to
a charge of piracy on the high seas,
which, according to reports from eye
witnesses, could not have been car
ried out more perfectly had it been re-
hearsed a dozen times.
At o'clock IN the evening of May

on board the French steamer Souirah,
which two hours earlier left Batum for
Trebizond:
With absolute simultaneity, two
men appeared on the captains bridge
One of them levelled a revolver at the
officer on duty and the other pointed
his weapon at the man at the wheel
Two others took possession of the tele-
graph office, while shots were heard
in various parts of the ship, throw
ing the passengers into a panic.
The captain rushed to the aid of his
second officer and found him strug-

them over to the thorities by whom

but repeated former assertions that
they were prepared for any emer-
gency. .

GIRLS KIDNAPPED bYSAIL0R MAKE
 ESCAPE

London, Feb 2.-F'rom Glasgow comes an extraordinary story of the virtual kidnapping on board ship of two girls and of their journey half way round the globe. A woman of- fcial in the Glasgow charity organi- zation was asked to meet two girls who had been sent to Liverpool from American and to see them safely home.
 She learned that last year these two girls had been invited aboard ship to have tea with a sailor. Be- fore they knew it the boat started for South America. On arriving at Colon they were transferred to an- other boat and landed at Ca11ao, where theey were taken to a house of doubtful character. They managed to escape, however, and found their way to the British Consul, who sent them hone.
 Shipping officials at Glasgow have now taken steps to prevent the possibility of the recurrence of such incidents.

more than s9,59s,0O0, and turning to reported conditions today, he said it l would cost railroads s33,3 5000 to repair the cars that are too damaged for service now.
 As to wage increases under his ad- | ministration, MT. McAdoo asserted they amounted to $866, ,802,000 per
 year, while increases granted to the ation, amounted to $1,091 100000. '"The fact is, railroad employees worked for less pay during the war than any other class of industrial workers doing similar york; he de-
 clared. ''The realization they were working for their government in the stress and strain of war, and that they would be fairly treated inspired them and spurred them to unusual effort and faithful service"
 Taking over the roads, the admin istration found frequent and costly labor turnover, discontent, and de-
 noralization," with pay rates far low CT than either the cost of living or the scales in private industry justified, he added. He recounted the setting up of wage boards, with management representatives, and the granting of increases.
 "There was not the slightest com plafnt from any railroad executive that wage increases in 1918 were too h ba said The charge that the wages of railroad labor were
 unnecessarily raised and that wages
 were thereby elevated throughout the country is false. The exact contrary is true.
 "The schedules of wages promu1- gated by the railroad administration during 1918 were generally below those in other basic industries, and well below the rates fixed by the navy yards, the National War Labor Board, and by the shipbuilding adjustment boards.
 "* Conditions in the war indus tries necessarily caused the advances in the rates of pay of railway work CTS The railroad administration was itself a conservative instead of an in itiating influence in the general ad- vances in wage payments. It awards
 did not go far enough in meeting competitive conditions in increasing rates and classifying certain classes of workers"
 All the increases approved by him were recommended by the manage ment members of the board, he said, except that which involved the aboli- tion of piece-work in railroad repair shops. The piece-work system, he said, had mo advantage in efficiency over day work" resulted in large payments to workmen which was not performed" Also it involved less than 10 per cent. of the employees of the railroads.
