BIG WAGE CUT
FOR Rail MEN
MADE BY BOARD
Advises Return to Pre-War
Living Standard, With
Saving
LABOR NOT COMMODITY
Board Denies it so Regards It--Rep-
resentatives of Workers Split Over
Dissent

Chicago, June 17.-Good advice
mixed with wage cut was yesterday
handed out to seven classes OF en-
ployes of the railroad, numbering SO
600. in a decision Of the United States
Railroad Labor Board, which added
S27 100000 to the savings of the car
riers and brought the total resulting
from this and the last two decisions
to 100000 annually, beginning
July 1st.
An added interest in the decision
crows out of the inference that the
labor members of the board split on the
question. Walter McMenimen, who
signed the last two dissentS IN com
mon with A. o. Wharton and Albert
Phillips, not concurring in the present
dissent.
The reductions, effective July lst,
were as follows, all stated in cents per
hour:
Storekeepers and their assist
ants. chief clerks and other cleri-
zeal supervisors, clerks with over
two years experience, three cents.
Clerks with less than two years
experience, ianitors and elevator
operators. cffsce boys, station and
team track freight handlers and
all common laborers around sta
tiors, storehouseS and warehouses
not otherwise provided fer, tou"
cents.
Stationary engine and boiler
,,oo,,o or,DIo1-es all kinds two
cents.
signal department employees
other than supervisory and help
ing. five cents.
Signal helpers, six cents.
Signal department Supervisors
train dispatcherS, dining car stewards
and marine culinary workers were let
down without cut. disputes covering
those classes existing on only = unit
cd number Of roads.
Floating equipment employees were
+old TO take their disputes back and
talk them over with their employers
only four disputes having arisen IN
which they we're involved.
A reversion to the old standards o,
living. of the kind that existed prior
to the wild wese imitation orgy Of war
times was recommended by the beard.
If such return were made, the de-
cision said. the wages resulting from
the cuts would prove ample. A table
similar to the one appended to the shop
craft reduction decision showed that
the new scale would still have great
er purchasing power, the lowering OF
the cost of living considered, than the
wages paid for the same classes OF
labor in July 1920, the peak period
Of railroad wages.

Kansas Near East Offers Prize fol
Heading of Topeka Product.

The Kansas state committee on

poem written on the Smyrna disaster
by Miss Rachel Ann Neiswender of
Topeka. The committee has offered a
cash prize of SIS for the best title
submitted for the poem.
Student bodies are especially re-
quested to assist to this end.
Contestants should mail their sug-
gested title to Near East Relief state
headquarters, 700 Kansas avenue, To-
peka, Kan, in time to reach that Id
dress before December 8. Contest
ants may submit as many different
titles as they desire.)

Topeka State Journal; Mr.. George p.
Morehouse of Topeka, Kan, secretary
of the Kansas Authors club, will act
as judges of the contest.
The poem is as follows:
Turn back the days and picture old
A city, large and proud and centuries wise.
Picture her homes, her laughing, clear-eyed
Basking Beneath the semi-tropic skies.
Picture the happy family circle
Gathered in prayer when evening fires
Gaze, If you viii. upon the Eye of ASIA"
The Holy Lands one Christian beacon
Hight.
Today We see a vastly different picture.
We see too well the goal of soulless greed,
We see no homes today in old Smyrna, =
We see but starving throngs in hopeless
need.
Far worse than beasts the foe came to the
city,
No power was there to stem the crushing
flood,
They left a trail of anguish, worse than
dying,
And wrote their hatred ev'n in children's
blood.
oh, Christendom, awake, arouse your peo-
pie!
Do you not know that in that very hour
When Smyrna became a smoldering bed of
ashes,
The cross went down, the crescent came
in power?
This was the land of earliest Christian
teaching,
How can we pass these Christians in their
plight?
I'VE are our brothers keepers" Let US
help them
To build again a Christian beacon light.

Children of Beautiful American
Girl, Who Created Sensation by
Marrying the FamiIys japanese
Cook, Placed in Genus Glass by
Stanford University.

San Francisco, Nov. 2s.-Fourteen
years ago a national sensation was
caused by the announcement that the
beautiful Helen Frances Emery. then

first marriage in the west to link the
American and Japanese races and the
couple were forced to travel to three
states before they secured a license
Dire predictions over this east and
west alliance were made but gradually
the case was forgotten.
Today it was recalled when the de-
partment of psychology of Stanford
university announced that four chill
