4 MOTHER great strike is threat
L \ ened, this time OF the railroad
workers whose wages have been or
are to be reduced by the United
States railway labor board. Already
the board has made public one deci-
sion cutting nearly S50,000,OO0 from
the annual wages of the maintenance
of way men. and before this reaches
the reader II Is almost certain another
decision will have been published
slashing between s50,OOo,OOO and s75,-
100000 from the yearly pay Of the
shopmeD. Either ruling Is sufficient
to bring on a walkout If the men re-
main In their present state Of mind,
and still Others may follow soon.
The first decision announced orders
q reduction Of 1872 per cent in the
prevailing pay Of maintenance Of way
men, effective July l. 1t affects about
100000 workers, and their new wages
will range from % to S5 cents an hour.
It was signed by the three public
members and the three railway men,
bers OF the board. The three labor
members signed a dissenting opinion,
holding that the new pay does not
constitute the "tust and reasonable"
wages guaranteed under the transpor-
tation act, and that In fact 1t does not
represent a living wage. The major
ity report, however, points out that
common labor on railways, even after
the reduction, will be better paid than
similar labor in most other industries
Edward h. Fitzgerald, president Of
the railway clerks organization, took
the lead in planning for the prospec-
tive strike, inviting sixteen chiefs Of
rail unions to meet this week in Gin
cinnati. He was forestalling an ex-
pected decision by the federal board
ruttlng the pay Of the clerks, telegra-
nhers and other smaller classes. There
is a possibility that this conference
will result in q defensive alliance be-
tween the railway workers and the
miners. Such q compact really was
formed several months ago, but failed
10 provide for aggressive action un-
less each step was approved by refer
endums of the various organizations
involved This lack may be supplied
at the Cincinnati meeting.
The six federated shop crafts are
concerned not only in wage reduction.
They accuse twenty-five roads Of vio-
latng the transportation act by let
ting out shop work to contractors not
within the boards Jurisdiction, and
their president, B. NJ. Jewell, has de-
manded that the board assume juris-
diction IN these cases and compel the
railroads to restore conditions in ef
feet previous TO the alleged violations.
He said that unless this were done
strike ballots would be sent out, re-
Cardless of the wage ISSUE The board
already has shown that 1t sympathizes
with the attitude Of the shopmen in
this matter.
Wages of train service men are not
involved in the present and immedi-
ately prospective rulings Of the labor
board.

asked, however, that the operators
agree among themselves on fair prices
in order that the antitrust laws might
not be infringed Mr.. Hoover then
announced what he considered fair
prices in three districts. These ranged
from $2.20 to $500 a ton for the Ala
bama district; $3.50 a ton for the
smokeless coal districts Of West Viz
ginia, and $3.50 a ton for the Harlan
and Hazard fields Of Kentucky and
the southern Appalachian fields Of
Tennessee and Kentucky. The maxi
mum for the Alabama district Is 25
censt ton below the final Garfield
wartime scale, while the maximums
proposed for the other districts are
somewhat above the Garfield prices.
The prices are to apply only to spot
coal.

HENS IN STATE MAKE
PROFIT Of S1.71 EACH

The average poultry farm cooperat-
ing with the extension service in the
wear 1921 in carrying on systematic
poultry program maze
labor income of 616.5S, according 10
records kept on 81 such poultry dem
onstration farms in Western oregon
This average labor income represents
the difference between receipts ana
expenses, less a fixed charge 1of IN
terest and depreciation on buildings
and equipment.
The average cost of feed per hen
per year was $2.46, and the annual
profit per hen was $1.71. These u
uoultrymen devoted an average OF
three and a quarter labor hours per
day to their flocks. Only two of the
21 farms showed a loss. Three farms
showed a profit of $500 or more per
hen and the greatest gains were re-
spectively $3.50 and 1913 per hen per
year. Receipts per hen range from
$3.50 per hen per year to $112.92 per
hen per year. with an average of $4.ST
These 21 farms are well scattered
over the Western oregon territory anc
include both members and nonmem
bers of the Pacific Poultry Producers
Association. The averages quoted are
not conclusive, owing to the compare
lively small number of farms involved,
but they are indicative of the genera
trend of the poultry business for the
year beginning November 1, 1920, ana
ending October 81, 1921.

RIVOLI TODAY

The Warner Bros. production "Why
Girls Leave Home, which is now
showing at the Rivoli Theatre most
decidedly comes under the head of
big pictures" Not only because it
is of greater length than the average
screen product or because its settings,
cast and other adjuncts to the story
are on a most elaborate scale but be-
cause it is big in theme and direct in
treatment.
The theme may be readily realized
from the title of the picture and it is
problem that many parents have
been called upon to face. Statistics
are often boresome but the fact that
in n. Y. City alone the Bureau of
Missing Persons reports $1,000 girls
lost in II year, gives one much cause
for reflection.
why Girls Leave Home" goes right
at the heart of the problem and does
not diviate in the slightest from its
purpose of presenting a clearcut and
constructive story that reveals not
only the reasons but skilfully suggests
correction of them.
Strange as it may seem, the suave
polished william of popular conception
is not the main reason, in fact he is n
negligible quantity. The real reason
why Girls Leave Home" is mainly
the parents" Tho producers of the
picture have selected two specific in
stances which, because of their wide
contrast cover wide range. These
two stories develop side by side
through a most mastery construction
Of the scenario and afford solid enter
-ainment every minute.
