r. r. WORKERS
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT
Leaders of Eleven Organizations De-
eide on Letter to Harding Plead
ing For no More Reductions.

Cincinnati, June 8.-President
Harding will be appealed to by the
leaders of 100000 railroad workers
part of whom have already received
wage cuts from the railroad labor
board due July /, in an effort to stave
off further reductions in their pay en-
velopes, was decided at conference
of rail union heads tonight.
Leaders of the eleven railway en-
ploye's organizations, which Tuesday
decided to take strike vote of their
membership, tonight decided to out
line letter to the president, present.
ing their argument for higher wages
or at least no further reductions. A
committee of union executives was
appointed by B. M. Jewell, president
of the railway employees department
Of the American Federation of Labor,
to draft the letter.
Approximately $110,000,000 will be
Topped from the payrolls of the 4O0,-
900 shop crafts and the 100000 main
tenance of way men, under orders of
the board, July /. The new rates of
pay will range from 50 cents an hour
for mechanics's helpers to 10 cents
for mechanics. The maintenance of
way men will get from 20 to 35 cents
an hour.
These rates were branded as
starvation" wages by the union lead
ers and it is their intention, in the
letter to President Harding to de-
mand whether the country's chief ex-
ecutive thinks these wages sufficient
to maintain an American standard
of living and properly sustain fam
ily."
1t is understood that the letter will
contain specific figures on what the
railroad men consider an adequate
wage and will endeavor to refute the
position of the railroad labor board,
as set forth in recent wages reduction
decision. The letter was only in ten
tative form tonight and may not be
ready for transmission to Washington
before tomorrow night, union lead
ers said.

WHEAT HARVEST WILL
BEGIN THIS WEEK

Wheat harvest is beginning in
Southwest Missouri this week. On
account of rust in the wheat the
farmers are cutting it as green as
possible to keep it from falling.
The wheat this year is making a
fine showing, being thick on the
ground, high and level. Inspection of
the head, however, shows that some
heads are not very well filled out.
This is probably due to the continued
rain during the Towering season. In
spite Of this, it is expected that the
yield will be good.

whip which has a wooden handle
about a foot long to which are at
tached leather thongs some eighteen
inches in length. The wife said her
husband beat the children with the
leather part of the whip and struck
her with the handle.

COURTS LOSE OUT
Lawyers Are Held Responsible
in Suppressing Crime.
Director of Chicago Commits
sion Says No Respect Left.

Chicago, April 11.-Lawyers are
one of the most important factors in
the suppression of crime, suggested
Henry Barrett Chamberlain, operating
director of the Chicago crime commits
sion in an address today at the second
session of the committee on law en-
forcement of the American Bar asso-
citation. He dealt principally with
conditions in Chicago.
Citizens are losing their respect
for the courts he said. This is be-
cause they hold the bench and bar
responsible for the abuses which they
believe is their duty to correct. In
Chicago they know that last year less
than one out of four of the defendants
tried for murder in Cook county was
convicted and of the 6,72S defendants
actually tried in the criminal court
for felony, that only 1,674 paid any
penalty.
They know that out of that num-
Der only 757 received prison or re-
formatory sentences. They also know
that during the same period 635 de-
PENDANTS after being found guilty were
placed on probation. They know that
during the same period 21S prisoners
were released from Joliet on parole
and that lao were released on parole
from Pontiac

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society women wash theft own hair,
rot because it is a fad, but because
they wish to obtain the greatest pos
sible hair beauty and be sure they are
not using anything harmful. They
have found that in washing the hair
it is never wise to use a makeshift,
but is always advisable to use a prep
arations made for shampooing only.
Many of our friends say they get the
best results from a simple home made
canthrox mixture. You can use this
at a cost of about 3 cents shampoo
by getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a teaspoonful
in a cup of hot water. This makes
enough sha mpoo liquid to apply to all
the hair instead of just the top of the
head, as with most preparations
excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that It will look much heavier
than it is. Its luster and softness will
also delight you.-Adv.
