Old rags play an important part In

old rags cover more American homes

CHURCHMEN SCORE RAILROADS EFFORTS
 TO REDUCE WAGES

New York, July I4.-Attempts to enforce the Railroad Labor Board $ wage cut is contrary to law, accord ing to a statement issued by the re- search department of the social serv- ice commission of the Federal Coun- cil of the Churches of Christ in America.
 It is declared that the reduced rates bring the earnings of large number "below the level of minimum living standard."
 While government officials pledge their aid to break the strike and rail- road managers who have houted the board, howl for obedience to the award, the church men present this cool analysis of the situation:
 "The reductions will establish wages approximately as follows:
 Maintenance of way employees, B to 5 cents per hour, with an aver age for the group of 32.7 cents per hour. For full year of employmen. the total average earnings would amount to $817.44. At the minimum time the workers would receive $574.o8 per year.
 The decision covering the shop
  rate of 7o.3 cents per hour for ma chinists and GA cents per hour for car men. These rates mean for the machinists S1,753,44 fora full year of employment, including holidays but not Sundays. For the car men the wage rates established by this award means $I,6o7.42 per year of full time employment, including holidays but Sundays.
 "It is perfectly patent that the wage reductions ordered bring the earnings of a large number of em- ployes below the level of minimum living standard. It is also clear, however grave the crisis, that any effort to enforce as mandatory the boards decision will be contrary to the law as expressly interpreted at the time oflits passage and will be re- garded by the men as a breach of faith"

 "Then he said:
 In order to have you feel that the specific information IS coming from a person that knows, 1 wish to state that the writer is a product of the state of Connecticut, born in the city of New Haven, Conn, and knows full well of the conditions whereof 1 write, and if either one of the Sen any of the statements that I have written about I will gladly furnish them to you in an affidavit form to back them up.'"
 Senator Mclean made a pointed reply: "Of course the democratic party is in a desperate condition," he said, 'and we must expect exag- geratiOn and misrepresentation from it's votaries." He reviewed some state ments made by him in a recent speech showing that the average daily wage in Connecticut is $3.56 a day and chal- lenged any senator on the floor to point out a state where the average wage for work similar to that done in Connecticut is higher. The govern ment, said the senator, knew COnnec- ticut's ability to manufacture and for this reason much war material was made in the state.
 Being a good democrat O'Meara had landed a job on a draft board during the war, Senator Mclean said. He said he hoped O'Meara would let the working men of Connecticut know before November whether he wants the present tariff continued at reasonable protection against foreign competition. He emphasized that Connecticut, as a whole, had no more use for the democratic free trade theory than it had for frost in Au- gust or the Asiatic cholera.
 ''I want to say to the senator from Utah." said Senator Mclean in con- cluding, "that 1 have no quarrel with him and 1 have no controversy with the president of the American Feder- ation of Labor in Connecticut, but the senator and MT. O'Meara utterly fail to consider the real cause of the business depression which now exists in Connecticut and cannot fail to estimate the necessity for the maintenance of the time-honored and f.z11 ~f we are to continue to do business in this country and sustain our standard of wages and living"

 It does not necessarily follow that con- cerns which are not here represented are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demonstrated their friendliness in various ways and should have our sup port.
 Cooperation is always two-way matter and it is our duty to cooperate with those who cooperate with us. Consult this directory carefully before making any pur- chaSeS.
