RAILROAD WORKERS
0VERPA|D CHARGED
Board Hears Most Employees
in Similar Trades Get
Lower Wages.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. March THE men en-
gagged in work comparable to that
done on railroads.. employed in 5,327
industries in twenty-eight Of the west
ern states, are receiving wages much
lower than those paid to employees Of
the railroads, according to a state
ment read today by ]. w. Higgins, ex-
ecutive secretary of the Association of
Western Railways, before the United
States Railroad Labor Board, at its
hearing concerning wage disputes be-
tween employees and the roads.
According to the statement, pre-
pared after an exhaustive survey, of
the y1s,ss3 employees of all classes
studied in other industries, 247. 1866, or
77.7S per cent, were getting wages in
December, 1921, lower than those paid
by railroads for similar services. The
statement said that in Arkansas. Ari-
iona, Kentucky Michigan, Mississippi
and Tennessee. more than 80 per cent
of employees in other Industries are
paid less than railroad wages
Mr.. Higgins said that while the
roads wish the wages paid to be fair
and adequate. 1t was not believed that
the transportation act intended fiat
rate to prevail throughout the coun-
try, and, in addition to citing statis-
paid common labor in principal cities
of the west, presented data to show
that 89.5 per cent of the men in the
metal crafts in other industries re-
ceiye lower wages than men doing the
same work for railroads.

EXODUS OF MENNONITES
INTO MEXICO IS BEGUN
ALL Members of Sect to Move From
Canada Because of Interference
With Schools.

Ell PASo. Tex, March 7.-One hum
dred and fifteen Mennonite men, wom-
en- and children en- route from Can
ada, together with household goods,
cows. poultry. farm implements and
general supplies, crossed the boundary
here yesterday and started for their
new homes in Mexico.
Another special train carrying
about the same number of immigrants
is due this afternoon, and a third
contingent will arrive in two or three
days, according to an announcement
made at the Mexican consulate.
The arrivals are in charge Of Elder
J. c. Hildebrand, who said the sect
plans to move the entire Mennonite
population of Canada into Mexico. The
movement probably will take two or
three years.
Two hundred thousand acres have
been purchased in southern Chihuahua
and northern Durango as nucleus
of the colony's holdings.
The MennoniteS are moving into
Mexico, the elder said, under the
promise of the government that they
will in no way be interfered with in
their religious customs and educa-
tional system nor subject to military
service.
The Mennonites' complaint in Can
ada was over the public school system
of that country. the sect maintaining
that the Mennonite children should
not be required to attend Dominion
schools, he said. Another complaint
was over military service. The sect
refuses to contribute to warfare in
any manner.
Elder Hildebrand said his people are
a simple folk. practicing the virtues
praised by poets Of the Gray and
Goldsmith type. living on farms and
devoting their labors to production as
much as possible and to trading as
little as noSSible.

UNION EXECUTIVES MEET.
Strike Vote Indicates Big Majority
for Walkout.

INDIANAPOLIS. March Facing
many problems arising particularly
from the threatened coal strike on
April l, the executive board of the
United Mine Workers Of America met
here today with members, expecting
to center attention on conditions pre-
vailing in various coal fields through
out the United States and Canada.
No decisions affecting the strike
possibilities were expected to be made
by the board, whose members said all
such matters were to be referred to
the unions policy committee. which is
now being formed by various district
organizations of the union selecting
their committeeman. A meeting of
the committee before April l will
probably be called, according to board
members.
The strike vote, which is to be
completed by the miners next Fri
day, indicates a heavy vote favoring
a walkout unless a new wage agree
ment is reached, according to reports
brought to union headquarters by
early arrivals for the board meeting.
No figures, however, were available,
but the board members referred to
what they termed the general senti-
ment among the workers. Aside from
the strike vote the board members
indicated their session would be
largely devoted to exchange of re-
ports on the condition of the union in
various fields.
