work to making signboards. They

Rail Wage Cut.

While the men affected are voting
on acceptance of the wage cut or
dered by the railroad labor board.
and the brotherhood leaders are
considering future moves, tie pub
lie is expressing it's attitude
through the press, and the motion
to adopt seems carried overwhelm-
ingly. But there is in newspaper
opinion, as there was in the board
itself, a minority that protests
! against reduction in the wages or
a class of railroad workers who
are poorly paid at best
To this latter position, however,
F! the New York Evening World re-
, plies that the reduction Of pay OF
maintenance of way men must be
considered as only a part of a larg-
er readjustment of railroad wages
to take effect July l." and from this
point OF view it is welcomed gen.
orally by the press as part, as the
! St. Louis Globe-Democrat puts 1t,
! "of the painful process of getting
, back to normal standards"
! The railroad labor board has
acted under an imperative econon-
ic pressure and necessity" says the
Flint (Mich.) Journal, and, the
Newark News adds, it has no in
! tent of dealing unfairly with the
! workers. Having stepped railroad
wages up. it now thinks it time to
step them down again" Coming
just at this time the action Of the
board is, in the opinion of the Hart
| ford Times, "a desirable, even a
necessary concomitant OF the re-
Gently announced reduction in
freight rates"
| But it is in its relation to the
reduction in rates that many edi-
tors protest against the wage cut
The Pittsburgh Press cannot helI
doubling the wisdom Of the new
wage cuts before the effect OF
freight and passenger rate reduc-
tions has been tried" for there is
good reason to believe that the rate
reductions would so increase the
earnings OF the roads per unit by
means of the larger traffic handled
as to make the wage cuts unneces-
sary." And If, as is freely predict
ed. the present order will be fol
| lowed in a few days by other de.
cisions which will make reduction
in wages OF about 100000 skilled
shop workers, and about 100000
! clerks, telegraphers, station en-
ployes and other small classes,
the Omaha World-Herald concludes
that Tabor will not only stand the
full cost of freight reductions, but
will contribute an additional 500,
100000 for good and overfiowins
measure to make sure that what
ever else may be reduced, railroad
dividends will not be-

ing the revised wage rates. AT Nc

wages of maintenance of way la

ing" and "the new rates continue
the old tradition of insufficiency.

CAN YOU IDENTIFY YOUR
CAR?

Could you recognize your own
car, if it were stolen
Before answering with a posi-
tive yes" remember this:
The professional auto thief COW
ers up all possible traces of idenu-
fcation. He repaints the car,
changes the serial numbers on the
engine and chassis, searches out ali
other tell-tale marks to change or
abolish them, and, in fact rebullds
the entire machine.
What chance is there for the mo-
torist whose car has ben stolen, 10
identify it? Little, say police and
insurance men. They back up their
claim by citing instances wherein
several car owners brought to
headquarters to identify their cars
picked the same automobile as
their own.

AUTOS REBUILT.

Slight imperfections in certain
cars are Isat certain means of hen-
tification. The experienced CROOK
takes his stolen car to what is prac-
tically rebuilding factory, alters
the entire mechanism and changes
parts with similar parts of other
cars of the same make. Practically
a new car is turned out.
Most practical means of identity
ing your car, according to those
who have studied this problem, is
left to the owners own ingenuity.
Individual marks stamped on vari-
Gus parts of the chassis and en-
CINE afford the surest way of pick
ing your own car after it has been
stolen.

Mob Violence.


9he recent epidemic of mob vio-
lence against negroes has resulted
IN a general discussion of the sub
sect and the relation thereto of the
so-called Dyer anti-lynching bill
which is tabled in the senate com
mittee because of grave doubts re-
garding its constitutionality. The
newspapers of all sections unite in
oondemning mob action and appeal
10 the law and order element in ey-
cry community to stamp out the
spirit of violence. But many ex-
press doubt of the wisdom of action
by the federal government, believ-
ing that the state themselves can
be depended on to end the out
RACES.
Although harm has come because
Of a populr conception that federal
laws are better enforced than state
enactments, which has resulted in
allegations that states rights have
been trespassed upon, the Milwau-
kee Sentinel feels convinced that it
bring their law enforcement ma
chinery up to the standard set by
the federal laws" Yet with that
view carefully taken into consid-
Grafton the Grand Rapids Herald
believes that in spirit and purpose
the Dyer law is sound Persistent
southern lynchings are a blot on
American civilization. This curse
will never be controlled by the
states themselves. Under the doc
trine of implied powers some way
can be found-whether the Dyer
law or some other-to make feder-
al attack upon this curse constitu-
tional and resultful." In view of
the fact that there apparently was
conclusive evidence that some, at
least, of the negroes lynched were
guilty the Manitowac Herald-News
says the incident appears "in what
might be called it's most favorable
aspect and then, after recalling
that the great majority of decent
southerners have spoken against
this crime" insists "the federal
government apparently cannot set
free the negroes but it can and
in life and limb"
Sharp and sincere denunciation
Of the killing of the negroes Is
voiced by the Lynchburg News in
pointing out that the cure for the
evil resides with the authorities
and the public opinion of the com
munities in which this order of
lawlassness finds expression" and
1t makes it very clear that be
cause of a few recklessly, cruelty,
lowlessly disposed groups of peo-
pie, the entire south is untustly ad-
vertised to be a land where lynch
ing stalks abroad, as an uncon-
querable menace to the mainten-
ance Of order and to the peace of
society" While this is true some
action must be taken to curb the
evil in the opinion of the Boston
Transcript which insists if con-
gress has not the power to act then
4 constitutional amendment should
give this authority because the
nation is on its conscience in this
matter If cannot live and be safe
while nourishing in its breast such
rampant and worsening savagry as
lynch law expresses" But there is
sincere doubt in the mind of the
Rochester Herald whether law of
any sort will suffice, it suggesting
that There is but one way to stop
lynChing and that is by more gen
oraI education. by the cultivation
CT greater confidence in, and more
universal reliance upon. the courts
and in the processes of law"
