CONGRESS URGED TO
LIMIT SALARIES OF.
RAIL EXECUTIVES.
NORTH CAROLINA HOUSE MEM.
Der WOULD GIVE COMM RCE
Il COMMISSION FULL POWER TO
: ESTABLISH PAY OF ALL RAIL
WAY EMPLOYEES.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-A bill au.
thorizing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to fix and regulate wages
OF the railroad employees, from presi'
dent down to call boy, was intfoduc'
ed in the house today by Representa-
tive Ward, democrat, of North Caro-
lima. Ii was referred to the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM
merce.
This is the first legislation bearing
on the railroad strike introduced
since the house reconvened, If en-
acted II would practically annihilate
the railroad labor board. The duties
performed by the board would We
vested in the commission.
The Ward bill even provides for
the determination of seniority by au'
thorizing the commission to fix the
terms and conditions governing fair
and equitable seniority and retire
ment system.
Classification of all kinds of sery-
ice performed by railroad employees
and graduation of wages and salaries
according to the time and expert
ence of the employees in the several
grades are required by the act.
81 have provided for the fixing and
regulation Of salaries and wages by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
because | believe the commission en-
Joys a larger measure of public con
fidenee than the board.
Just why salaries of executives
and lawyers Engaged by railroads
should not be subject to regulation
the same as wages of men employed
cannot be satisfactorily explained.
~ am convinced the principle
written into this bill will if enacted
into law reduce dfsconneht among
railroad employees and benefit the
railroads.

NEW PROPOSALS
TO GRANITE MEN
Board Of Control Tells Cutters Asso-
citation Liquidation from War
time Scheduls is Necessary.

Barre. March 27.-As a result OF
the meeting of the board Of control
in Boston Saturday a new proposal
for the settlement Of wages and con
ditlons in New England was drawn
up and submitted to President James
Duncan OF the G. c. /. A. who is ex-
peoted to submit it to the various
branches for acceptance or rejection.
In the letter TO the president of the
cutters association the board says
that they have given serious thought
to the question at issue and find a
liquidation from wartime schedule
necessary. They submit this final
proposal in hope of getting every cut
ter back to work as soon as possible
In the new proposals some features
OF the November proposals have been
eliminated which were particularly
Objectionable to the association. They
ask that the new bill be submitted.
This new bill provides that all set
tlement shall be made only in plants
represented by the board of control
having union agreement. 1t also
provided that neither party can
change the agreement during life Of
same and 1t shall hold for two years.
The hours proposed are the same as
formerly. The main clause of inter.
est offers only so cents per hour with
agreements as to reduction or raise IN
cost of living as settled by the Massa
chusetts commission. Overtime rates
were fixed at % cents extra per hour
with holidays as exceptions. Other
parts of the agreement as submitted
are practically the same as regards
health measures, machinery, etc. This
proposal will be submitted to the as
sociations at once as sufficient cop
les have been made, but the accept.
ance of such a bill is highly improb-
able as the workmen are asking for
$1.OO as has been the rate in the past
yCar.

BROTHERHOOD MEETING.
Address Last Evening by Rev. j. A,
Wright Of Hooslck Falls.

THE Acts OF Mankind that Leave
their mark on the Word, namely
those that benefit others rather than
self was the key thought Of Rev. j,
A. Wright's talk before the Methodist
Brotherhood last evening in the par
lors Of the Methodist church.
The speaker at once separated the
two groups that attain greatness in
lile--those who struggle for the fur
therance OF their own selfish ends;
and those who strive to serve their
fellow men. For those who labor in
the latter cause, he eXpounded upon
the necessity Of concentration as
against the deyitalizing effect of
spiling ones talents into too many
streams. In no wise did he confound
these unguided smatterings of prodig-
ality with humble sacrifices which
may lay their doers in unremembered
graves, but are vital foundations for
greater work to follow, work more
conspicuous for which other men are
rewarded. Dreams he said, "are
very fine, provided they are hauled
out of the world of visions, and crys-
tallzed in living yestments Of serv.
ice"
This was Mr.. Wright's second APP
pearance before the local organiza-
ton within year but his methods Of
driving truths home made his hear
ers feel as though they had been
treated to one Of the best lectures Of
the winter. Mr.. Wright. who is pas.
tor of the Baptist church, Hoosick
Falls, made many pointed and witty
remarks about his own town and
Bennington.
The business program was conduct
ed as usual with president, Fred c.
Martin, presiding. The singing was
led by T.. T. Griswold with Kenneth
Morse at the piano. Two candidates
were voted members. The secretary,
W. c. Peck and treasurer, w. c. Clark
read their reports and Mr.. Wright
was made an honorary member of the
club

WALSH ASSERTS WIFE
TRIED TO EXTORT MONEY
Screen Star Files Cross Complaint in
Divoros Proceedings Brought by
Mrs. Walsh

Los Angeles March 29-He is a
home lover, not "vamp"; his salary
is only $500 week, not $l,50O and his
head was once the target OF a fiatiron
hurled by his wife.
That's what George Walsh, film
star, says in cross complaint filed as
a sequel to the divorce action brought
against him by Seena Owen, screen
celebrity, and in private life Signe
Auen Walsh,
Walsh further claims that his wife
does not contribute toward the sup
port of the family, that he remains
home evenings and goes to bed early,
to be fit for work the next day. and
that while thus remaining home, he
looks after his daughter, Patricia, five
The cross complaint describes as
ridiculous the charge that Walsh had
been interested in any woman, partic-
ularly Estelle Taylor. Walsh said the
domestic sessions began soon after
the birth of their daughter and that
the climax came when Mrs Walsh de-
serted him in New York, March l,
1918.
A property settlement was made in
January, 1920 whereby the wife re.
leased him from all monetary obliga-
tions in consideration Of $50,00O
Walsh says He also states that he
tried to dissuade his wife from contin-
uing in pictures following the birth Of
their daughter and that this was a
factor in their differences. He places
his wife's salary at $500 a week.
Walsh charges the original charge in
the divorce complaint which refers to
Miss Taylor was for the purpose of ex-
torting $4,000 from him.

RICHARD, FIGHT
PROMOTER, FREED.
IN ASSAULT CASE
Jury Returned Verdict Of Not
Guilty Last Night
SPORTING MAN OvERJOYED
Declares Strain of Trial Was
Worse than Shooting
Craps for $4,000

New York March 29.-George l.
(Tex) Rickard, international sports
promoter last night was found not
guilty OF criminal assault on Sarah
Schoenfeld, Is yearold school girl, by
a jury in the Supreme Court. The yer
dict was handed down after the jury
had deliberated an hour and half.
When the verdict was announced
Rickard, his face flushed, went over to
his counsel Max d. Steuer, and EN-.
.braced him.
This is the happiest day Of my
life exclaimed Rickard.
There was some applause when the
verdict was announced
When word came that the jury was
ready to deliver a verdict Rickard
appearing somewhat bewildered, stood
up near the counsel table
Have you arrived at a verdict?"
asked Chief Clerk Penny.
I'VE have" replied Albert c. Hoy,
textile agent, the foreman. I'VE
find George l.. Rickard not guilty.
Rickard was then called TO the
bench and told that he would be freed
under bail, pending disposition of
other charges against him.
When court was adjourned, many
spectators rushed forward to shake
Richards hand and court attendants
had difficulty in preserving order.
Rickard was carried almost bodily
from the courtroom up one fight of
stairs to the Sheriff's Office where
he posed for photographers.
Turning to newspaper men, Rickard
said:
Thank you all. God bless you.
you have all been very nice to me.
I've never been happier in my life.
Boys, have shot craps for $4,000 a
roll and ! was never in any greater
suspense than when the Jury returned
TO the court room. Did you see the
poker faces they had on?"
Asked by cub reporter what he
meant by poker" faces, Rickard said I:
"Why you couldn't read them. You
couldn't tell what they had in mind"
Rickard then begged to be excused
from further comment, stating that he
was too overcome to talk more tonight
and asked one OF his friends for a
cigar. which he began TO smoke imme-
diately When he left the Sheriff S
office, police reserves and court at
tendants were summoned to keep the
crowd in check He was given three
cheers by the crowd as he stepped
into his automobile TO be taken home.
Later Rickard explained that he
played his $4,000 crap game with a
man named Carstairs in Philadelphia.
