CARRIERS OPEN
BATTLE AGAINST
WAGE SCHEDULE
Pay for Similar Work Is
Lower Than Railroad Men
Are Receiving, According
to Figures Given.

Chicago, March 1.-THE western
railroads opened their attack on
the federal railroad labor boards
present wage scale today in the ma
tion-wide hearing by introducing
industrial wage figures from twen-
ty-eight states in all of which. v
was declared, wages for similar
work were generally lower than
railroad wages.
The lower wages asked, accord
ing to j. w. Higgins, representing
the western roads, are so to 100
per cent higher than the wage scale
of 1915, and 30 to 70 per cent
higher than 1917.
Individual exhibits covering fif-
teen western states were presented
by railroad representatives, elapor-
ating o. the general conditions
shown by Mr.. Higgins in his pre-
sentation, The entire survey showed
that of 31S,S93 employees in numer-
Gus industries, 77.79 per cent were
receiving lower wages in Decem
ber, 1921, than the railroads are
paying for similar work.
In California, Louisiana, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Texas, Utah and
Wisconsin, according to the state
ment, from so to 90 per cent are
paid less than the railroads pay
In Colorado Illinois, Missouri, New
Mexico and Washington 20 to so
per cent are paid less than the rail-
road pay. In Idaho, Iowa, Kansas,
North DAKOTA and Oklahoma from
60 to 20 per cent receive lower
wages than the railroads pay, while
in South Dakota 55 per cent are
being paid less.
There are only four states in the
west, Montana, Nevada. Oregon and
Wyoming where less than so per
cent of the employees receive lower
wages than that paid by the rail
roads, says the statement.
Discrepancies were found also in
outside industries in principal cities
Mr.. Higgins told the board. Mr.. !
Higgins said that while the roads
wish the wages paid to be fair and

flat rate to prevail throughout the

CLEAN UP,' IS
APPEAL. MADE To
RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
"CIaanIinesS Is Health and
With Health the World
May Be Moved" Is the
Slogan for Campaign.
tDy The Associated Press.J

Moscow, March Leon Trot-
zky, the soviet war minister. has
launched a campaign to make
Russia clean. He intends to do
this through the red army.
1t is his chief and most cher
ished desire to convert 100. 1000, 900
people to his slogan: Cleanliness
is health and with health the
world may be moved"
Trotzky has banished grease and
dirt, boards and long hair. shabby
and iil-fitting clothes from the red
army and now he wants to pass on
the benefits of cleanliness TO the
ertire population. Personally, he
gives the Russians a splendid eX-
ample.
Trotzky's own clothes are
model of simplicity and neatness
He wears no insignia to show he
is the commander-in-c chief Of the
army. His jacket Is of gray army
cloth, with military air given bv
a closely buttoned, roll-down collar
and military pockets. His trousers
are tucked into a pair of lace half
boots. A square, medium sized
man, his large head and broad
forehead would attract attention
Of the observing in many places,
but his clean appearance is nota-
BILE in Russia, where living condi-
tions have long conduced to neglect
of ones appearance.
Trotzky claims that despite great
strain of work he has been under
for four years his health has Inn
proved. He certainly has improved
in control of his nerves He no
longer gets excited Also, he has
become first rate public speaker.
Bolshevik leaders have to do
their work at night, sleep when
they can and make stump speeches
to vast number of people who
cannot read and who can be taught
only by speeches Instead OF
breaking down, Trotzky often
speaks twice a day. He goes
through setting-up exercises twice
a day, walks or rides in an open
automobile when he has the OPP
portunity, gets regular sleep and
never worries.
Trotzky is very keen at picking
up points in conversation, to con-
trovert arguments advanced, but Sd
quick as to be almost quackish
"He argues like country lawyer"
was the opinion expressed by some
European journalists recently, aft

Possibility of a WaIkout in
the Anthracite Fields
April | Is DepIored BY
Minnesota Scion.
(By The Associated PressJ

Washington, March 7,-Possibil-
ity of a strike April / in the an
thracite coal regions was deplored
today by Representative Newton,
republican, Minnesota, who de-
clared on the floor of the house
that a tieup would be a disastrous
blow to industry generally.
Commenting on the increase in
the retail price of anthracite coal
during the past few years, Mr..
Newton held that the operators
and owners of coal mines were al
most together responsible for ex-
cessive costs"
Labor costs have not gone up
anything like retail prices, as
serted the Minnesota member, add
ing that it was his opinion. how
ever, that retailers were not to
blame.
"At n time when industry
ought not to be required to
face any more trouble" Mr..
Newton asserted, "wc find ii
confronted with the possibility
Of an anthracite coal strike.
70 AS the operators and miners
quarrel the public stands by
almost helpless at the mercy
of both sides.'
"1f operators and mine owners
are not to blame for the high cost
of coal. why have they been so
active in preventing the govern
ment from obtaining accurate data
regarding their industry" he said.
1t was the duty of congress. Mr..
Newton contended, to provide
Some kind of a governmental
agency to get accurate information
about the coal industry" which, he
added, is the worst run basic in
dustry today"

Basis of Figuring.
His credit would be figured or

overseas service and 81 for each
day of home service, but in no
event could the credit exceed S50S
in the case of a veteran who per-
formed no overseas service, and
1925 in the case of veteran who
served overseas.
Prior to September 80, 1925, any
national bank, or any bank or trust
company incorporated under the
laws of any state, territory, possess
sion, or the District of Columbia,
would be authorized to loan to a
veteran on the certificate any
amount not in excess of so per
cent of the adjusted service credit,
plus interest at 4 u per cent from
October /, 1922. The loan would
have to mature not later than Sep
tember 30, 1925, and the rate of
interest charged by the bank could
not exceed by more than per cent
a year, the rate charged at the
date of the loan for the discount

located the bank making the ad-
vance to the veteran.
In Case of Default.
IF n veteran defaulted in the
payment of principal and interest
to the bank for six months after
maturity of the loan the bank
would be required to present the
veterans note and certificate to the
treasury not earlier than May 30
1925, and not later than October
15, 1925, and the government
would cash the certificate. The
bank ould be paid the principal
and interest up to the date of pay
ment by the government, and the
veteran, if living, or if dead, his
beneficiary or his estate would be
paid the difference between the
amount paid the bank and 80 per
cent of the loan value Of the GER
tificate at the time of its receipt
by the treasury.
After Septeml so, 1925, the
government would make loans di

Gates. From that date to october

 Although the superintendent has voiced his own suggestion that sev- eral school days year be devoted to scientific study by the older girls of morality and sex, he announced he would be guided by opinions this week from deans of high schools.
 .I would like to see every high school girl demand of her finance that he prove he has led clean life," said Mir. Mortenson. This should apply in the same measure to the boys. l would like to see the false glamour taken from sex subjects and show students that the entire course of their lives-and perhaps the lives of their offspring may be altered by failure to consider the importance of clean living in others, as well as in themselves"
 Trustee Hart Hanson said he be- lieved every school child, boy or girl. should sign pledge demanding a certificate of good health before mar riage.
 There is nothing radical in this proposal,"s he said. We must dc something. Misery continues to in crease year after year, due to lack of just that small amount of ordinary foresight"
