WAGE RAISE FOR
EXPRESS|NEN
SOUGHT
Railroad Labor Board Asked
to Boost Pay Of 10000 10
Cents an Hour.
BY JACK CEJNAR,
International News Service.

CHICAGO, April Reliability to
maintain the American standard OF
living, owing to rising living costs,
is the main reason advanced by
more than 10000 members of the
order of Railway Expressmen for
an increase in pay Of 10 cents an
hour, International News Service
learned today. Through their grand
president, A. Bollinger, of Chicago,
the expressmen have asked the
United States Railroad Labor Board
negotiations with the American
Railway Express Company failed.
Employees Claims.
The expressmen make the follow.
ing declarations:
Living costs have increased since
the last decision Of the labor board
in 1921.
More favorable rates of pay are
to be found in similar lines of
work, where the training and skill
is not so great as that required Of
expressmen.
In an industry so vitality i'm
portant to business and the public,
wages should be commensurate with
responsibilities incurred by en-
ployes.
On the other hand, the COM
pany says:
A wage increase is not Justified
on the basis of living costs or rate
of pay elsewhere.
The duties of the employees have
not increased.
The financial condition Of the
companies will not permit a wage
increase, without corresponding
increase in rates.
Efficient work by employees is not
proper basis for demand for an
increase.
Wages Of expressmen were not
decreased as much as in other
industries.
Average $131 Monthly.
The expressmen are now operating
under a wage scale known as the
boards decision No. 217, which
went into effect August l, 1921.
Under this scale. the average salary
of express agents, according to the
statistical bureau Of the labor board
is nearly $40; that Of train mes
sengers and other train employees,
$141; that Of shop and store en-
p1oyes. $137, making an average
for all expressmen near $131.
No date has been set for the
hearing, as the Railroad Labor
Board cannot operate until PreSi.

BY FAY KING.

Although some danes will deny
it emphatically, I'll bet a dough-
nut to dollar that when they
figure on a career they figure on
romance, too.
YOu can't tell me the doll that

down in her heart that some day
she'll have for q patient a hand.

they'll start for q honeymoon as

the stenOe 'apher and secretary
isn't a bit keen to work for q
handsome bachelor, who, after
giving her dictatiOn for a few
months, succumbs to her sweet
charms and they get married and
live happily ever after!
WON'T ADMIT 1T.
Why should they be ashamed
to admit that they are looking
for romance while they are look.

ing to admit they are looking for
q husband while they are look.
Ing for a job, what job do you
think has the best prospects?
The stage, of course!
Actresses hold the record
among working girls for landing
good catches.
That's easy to figure out. The
actresses Job is to be beautiful
and admired, and when men go
to the theater they expect to be
entertained, and are therefore in
q receptive and impressionabl
mood. If they see pretty girl
on the stage she Is apprOachabIe.
That Is, he can send her flowers
or a note, and arrange for an
introduction. He sees her at
her very best, surrounded with all
the things that intensity her
charms and set them off to an
advantage. III her street clothes
are simple, aIl the more do they
arouse his admiration. 1t indi-
Gates that she is demure as well
as desirable.

pretty girl who works I'M studio

her why she hadn't landed some

fure that doesn't look as hand

that, they usually have their pic

gion, in an address at the club
last night.
Rising to defend and explain the
policy of balanced preparedness, .
Of which he is one of the foremost
champions, Secretary Weeks dwelt
upon the great value Of a co-ordi-
mated defense system to national
safety.
There are few instances in his
tory" he said, where war was
forced on a strong nation, although
some nations with unbalanced
strength have sought war. On the
other hand. there are numerous in
stances of wars seeking weak or
unprepared nations.
I'VE, as a nation, understand
now, and we shall continue in our
understanding, that we shall more
certainly preserve peace when 1t is
well understood that we are pre-

Effective national defense, he de-
clared, depends in the last analysis
upon whether the citizenry appre.
