operating costs and improved eff
cheney Without Federal control OF
the railroads. McAdoo said. the
carriers would have failed In the
crisis Of the world war.
The former director general en-
phatically urged the railroads TO
eliminate competition ''as the public
pays the price" He also urged COM
mon use of passenger terminals and
the immediate union OF freight
terminals.
Since the return to private opera
tons, McAdoo said the roads were
costing the people $54,774,731 more
q month than during federal control.
Operating costs, he added. had In
creased $97,2s6,3s6 a month since
the return to private control.
He denied statements OF railroad
executives that the Government had
put burdens upon the roads by In
creasing wages.
Refutes Charges.
IT adopted the recommendations
Of the railroad members In the
Adjustment Board as to classified
ton and wages" he said. in re-
futing the charges.
He told of deciding In many IN
stances against increases while en-
ployes In other industries were get
ting advances.
THE charge that wages of rail-
road labor were unnecessarily
raised and that wages were thereby
elevated throughout the country is
false" said the former director.
'"The exact contrary is true. The
schedules of wages promulgated by
the railroad administration during
1918 were generally below those In
other basic Industries and well be-
low the rates fixed by the navy
yards, National War Labor Board
and the Shipbuilding Labor Adjust
nient Board"
McAdoo declared that the Gov
eminent was a conservative in
stead Of an initiating influence In
the general war advances in wage
payments"

SEMI-NUDE CONTEST
Sex Gymnastics Is Label Rabbi
Puts on Modern Jazz
Dancing.

Dr. Stephen s. Wise characterized
semi-nudity," charged that modern jazz
dancing was nothing more than "a
species of sex gymnastics' and paid his
respects to certain current theatrical
offerings. before the League for Politi-
cal Education yesterday in the Town
Hail. At the close DIR. Wise undertook
to answer questions hurled at him by
his largely feminine audience.
what is a flapper?" called out a
woman well down front. >
"A flapper." answered the doctor,
promptly, SIS a person who flaps"
There was mild litter at this and
feeling-as he afterward explained
that he could do better after he had
had an instant or two to think, DR..
Wise knitted his brows and then said
this:
"A flapper is a young person, think
ing too much on inconsiderable trifles.
who has not yet come to worth while
way of life"
How about her parents?' asked a
voice surcharged with scorn from the
middle aisle.
"A flapper is young person who has
parents who are grown up flappers,"
came back the doctor promptly
This time the litter swelled into hand
clapping-subdued, but unmistakable
Wise thought of problem plays and men,
toned 1.-THE Demi-virgin" and The
Rubicon."
There Is no problem in them." he
answered. II wouldn't tar and feather
the producer and the actors In TIE
Rubicon.' for even the pitch would bs
defiled."
How is any one to know whether a
play is fit to see or not?" another
woman asked.
1--WE found that the critics OF the
New York newspapers may be leaned
upon" said the doctor. There was
time when the theaters wouldn't adver-
tise IL such criticisms as appear now

coming when newspapers win refuse ad-

notices from the critics as The Rubi-

for the degradation of the theater. but
there is John Golden. who has produced
such plays as Thank You, The First

moves men to defer to the dictates Of
fashion. Young people must be helped
to understand the necessity of knowing
that there are things in the world more
important than being in the swim or
doing the things that are DONE
THE tragic loss OF home life values
Is responsible in a very real sense for
the moral ills that beset men to-day.
Fine women. women with ideals ana
standards, cannot compete with the vul-
gar and the base. The result is that So
called society comes to be in no. small
part a matter of competition In semi
nudity and all that this means,
"Our young people must not accept
every dictate of society. Let our young
fortify themselves anew by listening to
the council OF Emerson, who bids a
man be himself in the midst Of the
world, who bids souls face multitudes
without bending the knee to numbers
and their tyranny"

sons are very weak.
Another SON who was ordered into the

The son who crawled under the
lounge was six-year-old child, who
was taken from his bed at the same
time as the other members OF the fam
lily. Mrs Mcmahon pleaded tearfully
but in vain with the assassins to spare
the family. Then she screamed from
the window to a nursing home adjoining
to summon help.
Three murders were reported to-day
The victims were Frank Kelly. Edward
Mclaughlin and William Cassidy. All
were found shot to death. IL Is be-
