pairing the present hourly rate with
the hourly rate paid in 1917; before
Federal control, giving no considera-
ton to the fact that in 1917 the STAN
dard day upon this railway was ten
hours whereas the present standard
day is eight hours. And to the man
who says "well then why not work
ten hours" permit me to call his at
tention to the fact, that if the shop
men were now working ten hours in
stead of eight, the conditions of un-
employment among this class of
workers would just be 20 per cent
worse than it is at present. The only
fair basis of comparison is the daily
rate. In December, 1917, mechanics
upon this railway were drawing $5.05
per day; after having been given sew
eral small increases ending with that
granted by the Labor Board in the
Spring of 1920, and the daily rate
was finally brought up to $3.50 per
day, or 34.6 per cent increase over
1917; then on July 1, 1921, the rates
of pay were decreased by the Labor
Board &c per hour so that from that
time to the present date the differ
ence in daily rate Of the mechanic
as compared with 1917 in only Sill
per day, or little less than % per
cent increase in their present COM
pensation as compared with the year
of 1917, whereas the Department
of Labor Statistics will show that
the present cost of living as COM
pared with 1917 shows an increase of
about three times this amount. Do
these figures justify another decrease
in wages? Any fair-minded person
must answer mo-!
The decrease which was author
lied by the Labor Board last summer
it is estimated resulted in a saving
to the railroads of the United States
of $50, 100000 annually, to say moth
ing of another 5000, 100000 saving
as a result of changes in working
rules. In their plea before the Labor
Board for these concessions, the
Railway Executives claimed that the
request was made in order that re-
duction in freight and passenger
rates, thereby benefitting the public.
How much Of this saving has the
public received? 1t has been esti-
mated that the reduction in rates
thus far made only amount to a little
over $50, 100000 annually. What has
become of the rest of the saving?
In January New York financial con-
Germ made an estimate that if the
Santa Fe so desired it would be pos
sible for them to pay fifteen per
cent dividend upon the common stock
from their 1921 earnings.
We contend that it is now a self
evident and proven fact that, that to
further deflate the wages of the rail-
road men and thereby further re-
duce their purchasing power, will not
help business, but, upon the other
hand, will prove to be a real injury
to the business man and to the farm
err, and we hope therefore, that in
the interests of these thousands of
employees and in the interest of all
those who benefit from their earn !
ings, protests will be made to the
United States Railroad Labor Board
against any further reduction in
wages as a result of hearing upon
the question now in progress.

noticed the other day quota
ton in the paper from an eminent
authority, Professor Edwin R. A. Sc
ligman, who holds the chair of Eco
Monies and Finance at Columbia Uni
versity, in which the Professor is re-
ported as having said, in speaking to
the New York Credit Mems Associa-
ton, that all who believe that the
stabilizing wages involving reduc-
ton is necessary, are making big
mistake because reduction of wages
means reduction of the buying
power of the nation, and it would
appear that even among the most
conservative business men and econ
omists, there is a growing realization
that wage reductions at this time will
destroy the last remaining market for
the farmer, the merchant and the
manufacturer.
There are scores of merchants along
the line of railroad who will heartily
concur with the opinion of Profess
sor Seligman in this matter because
they have had material evidence of
the truth of his contention during
the past year in the falling off of
their business and the rust that has
accumulated on their cash registers.
There is great deal of misun-

OBJECTION is NOT
HONEST OPINION

In the story of an incident in the
Senate is found good ground for
questioning the honesty of some of
the opposition to the Pacific treaty.
This is a reasonable inference from
the incident. 1t appears from the
story that Senator Reed, in the course
of a speech against the treaty, as
serted that the Anglo-Japanese ALI
anee is not abrogated by it. Sena-
tor Lenroot interrupted to read to
him Articte Nv. Of the treaty, which
is as follows: "And thereupon the
treaty between Great Britain and
Japan. which was concluded at London
on July 10, 1911, shall terminate"
Senator Reed admitted that he had
Overlooked the section.
What must be said of opposition
such as this? Surely, in such a mat
ter, y conscientious senator would
take care TO inform himself Of every
detail of the subject he was to diss-
cuss. And this Anglo-Japanese
agreement is Of such important bear
ing upon the future of the Pacific,
that he would naturally be expected
to inform himself particularly Of the
bearing of the treaty upon it. No
excuse Of Overlooking" can be ac-
cepted for such a sin against public
duty as this. It is ~disgraceful that
members of what used to be called
the highest deliberative body in the
world" but which no longer has the
right to that Characterization, should
be guilty of such a breach Of faith
with its constituents and the people
at large as this. The incident is by
no means as trivial as the simple rec
lation indicates. In it's implication

WANTED AMERICAN
At GENOA Meeting

In a Paris dispatch to the New
York Harald, the writer of which
processes to know the European view
of the refusal of the United States to
take part in the Genoa conference,
the statement is made that disap-
pointment prevails, which is, however,
less in France than in England, be-
in the former country such ac-
ton on the part of this government

He says that Fall Europe-the Ger

that an official American delegation
would be at Genoa to act conformity
with the others in meeting the sow
cts and participating in the discus

as they affected business conditions

TO draw America into a discussion of

3 per cent immigration act for an
other year from the present date of
its expiration, June 80, 1922. The
decision is important and valuable

restriction of immigration is essen

OF this country. That is proved by
the figures accompanying the COM

that the total immigration in eight
months under the present bill was

IMMIGRATION LAWS

timed it would probably be impossi-
bic to find a VI simple and effect

The Dillingham; immigration. law,
passed last year, placed immigration
for the ensuing year or the basis of
3 pei. cent OF the number Of country
men of. those seeking admission now
IA the United States. This law went
into effect June 8, 1921, fifteen days
after it's approval by the president,
and very shortly about 1900 aliens
in excess of the quotas allowed for
that month were seeking admission at
United States ports. each of these
aliens was entitled to a full examin-
| alton under the general immigration
law, including an appeal to the Sec
rotary of labor" says Mr.. Husband.
ITO have handled the matter in the
regular way would have required sew
eral weeks, or even months, and Sec
rotary of Labor Davis took the only
sensible course when he directed that
the immigrants should be temporar-
lily admitted and charged against the
quotas of later months" AS a mat

grants have been actually deported

to the commissioner, while somewhat
more than twice that number have

PATERNALISM IMPRACTICAL.

absolutely right in disappearing the
suggestion that the government pro-

navy yard workers by diverting to
the shops some work now let out to
private concerns on contract. That
would not help the unemployment
situation in the least. For every
man given employment in a navy
yard, another man would be let out
from shops now doing the work on
contract Moreover, rs Mr.. DENLY
