RA|lROADERs: On
PRE-WAR WAGES

Reports from a private source have
been received BY the Examiner, which
have a bearing n the suit instituted
by Attorney General Wellington D.
Rankin against railroads Of this state
for general reduction in freight
rates.
The report comes from, Great Falls,
q division point on the Great North
ern railroad. The pay Of mechanics
and laborers employed by that road
have been reduced 100 per cent In the
last three or four years, 1t Is said.
while the salaries of railroad officials
have either been maintained or boost
ed since then. At Great Falls alone
the railroad is carrying surplus Of
ficials merely as dgureheads, it is said,
for their services could be dispensed
with without impairing the service in
the leastwise. At Great Falls there
are three clam agents when one would
suffice: there are two superintendcnts
instead Of one; two master mechanics
tc do the work Of one, and in1saddi-
tion there are attorneys on the pay.
roll who draw compensation for work
that could well be handled by general
attorneys Of the railroad at st. Paul.
MINI. There are numerous other rail-
road officials who haven't much to do
except draw their salaries. among
them several unnecessary foremen. 1t
is reported that to dispense with these
unnecessary officials would curtail the
operating expenses Of the Great North
ern railroad at Great Falls alone to
the tune Of 100000 year. Other di-
vision points could retrench in propor-
ton. with this saving benefiting the
patrons CT the railroad to that extent.
During war times skilled mechanics
working for the Great Northern drew
as high as $500 a month. Very few
Of them are now drawing more than
$3.50 a month, or nearly 100 per cent
reduction In wages and they say they
cannot exist on less. The same is true
ers. Their pay is now $500 dy, 100
per cent less than ''war wages" The
wage earners of Great Falls are near
ly 100 per cent organized but they
have submitted to a reduction in their
wages to reduce the cost Of living by
reducing the cost Of the railroads op-
Grafton. The reduction in their wages
has not been reflected in reduction
OF railroad freight rates. The work
ersc ontend their wages have come
down to ap re-war basis and it Is now
high time to turn the calcium on the
salaries CT railroad officials and to dis
pense with those who are absolutely
unnecessary in the operation of the
railroad. their salaries ranging from
5000 a month upward.

DEVIL PROVED TO Be
MINISTER lu DISGUISE

The sad, tale OF a wOuld-be devil
who caused CONSERVATION amongst the
dancers Of a certain community of
Minnesota Is as follows:
Thief River Falls, Minn., Jan. 2O.--
About two months ago, through the
papers ran an article about a devil,
to be running aroundthrough this part
of the country, a real devil, with fire
in his eyes and mouth, alta IL, fork in
his hands. horns, hoofs, and everything
real one may possess. The people
saw him with their own eyes. and
what people see. they believe.
First he was seen in a dnce, and
warned the people. that. If h caught
them dancing again. he would take
them to 'Hades.' When he arrived he
slowed fire out Of his eyes, mouth and
nose. waved his tail and did all kinds
OF performances, SC that he scared all
the people home. all saying: This is
the last time I'll go to dance.
Some girls left the hall and ran
home. capless and coatless and left all
at the hall, and SO scared out We're
they that some became i'll from 1t.
"Rut this was not enough for the
devil At a different time. he showed
up at different place. and kept 1t
up until he visited four places in this
manner, though he never carried one
dancer to hell.
"One thing that puzzled the people
most was that this devl was queer in
his actions and manner, for he seemed
to bring people to the right and told
them tc do right instead of being
glad at every error the people made
and trying to get them into mischief
Some people turned half crazy and la
ter reward was offered Of 81, 900 for
the person that would capture th's
villain either dead or alive The re-
ward was given to a brave boy or II
who. more than likely under his fa-
theirs advice. took his gun and at his
first chance shot the devil through a.s
fntestines. The devil Immediately la:d
down and started to groan and on ar
rival the boy and the others found
him to be an ordinary person dressed.
equipped with electricity for the pro-
duction Of fire. etc.
'Now the person is in hospital and
very i'll. 1t is said the person intend
ed nc wrong to the people: an he
wanted was to stop them from going
to dances and to induce them to go
to church.
'The person was one Of the near
vicinity's preachers"

Work of women has grown steadily
in the Department of Agriculture. In
1915, what has been called the Office
of Home Economics was created as a
part Of the extension service. In this
home economics work a great deal Of
attention has been given to studies
of foods and how best to use them,
labor-saving devices for the home,
studies of dressmaking and materials,
etc. While work Of this sort is plan
ned primarily for the help Of women
on the farms, much of it is equally
helpful to women in the cities, and
especially to those in moderate cir
cumstances who must exercise econo-
my and get the greatest value for the
money spent.
The woman chief of the proposed
new bureau will rank with the chiefs
of the other bureau of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, attend the week
ly conferences in the Secretary's office
and thus bring the womens' viewpoint
into the general work of the depart
ment.
