Can't Stop Joint-Ease

"You can't stop people from buy
ing Joint Ease for sore throat and
cold in chest" writes one of our
druggist friends. They say it's
the best ever"
We know that, of course, but
please remember that Joint-Ease IS
for stiff, swollen. painful joints,
whether rheumatic or not, and its
tremendous sale for that purpose
proves that it is the one joint rem
edy that gets the most satisfying
results.
A tube costs so cents at Peoples
Drug Stores and druggists every
where. Just rub 1t on and in a
few seconds it disappears complete
~ under the skin, and relief fol-
lows instantly.

Louis Willis, colored, will serve
two years for robbing Chin Sam,
laundryman, September 8. Walter
Miles, cOlored, was sentenced to
one year for shooting Marian Kelly
The accused told the court he
was drunk when he shot the girl,
and did not know anything about
it, to which the court remarked:
"If you act in that manner every
time you get drunk, you better
leave it alone"
Alfred o. Beall, Fred o. Rinker,
Jennings e. Craven and Bernard
Jones, all white young men, were
each sentenced to one year in jail

FORD RAILWAY PAYS
MUCH WAGES
THANIOTHER ROADS
AVERAGE PAY IS 40 PER CENT
HIGHER BESIDES NO SUNDAY
WORK AND A MINIMUM OF
OVERTIME.
dOnthly Average Is $1s5 Per EmplOye
While on Other Roads This
Average Is Only $133.

There are approximately 2225 en-
ployes in the service of the Detroit
Toledo & Ironton (Henry Ford's rail
road) and their average monthly earn
ings are s185 per month.
The average monthly earnings Of
employees on all railroads working on
IN hourly basis is 1888 per month
practically 40 per cent less than is
paid Ford employees.
These figures and comparisons are
taken from data compiled by the In
terstate Commerce Commission from
the reports of the carriers.
The disparity in earnings, however
is greater than is indicated by these
average monthly wages.
On the Ford road the six-day week
and the 8-hour day ERE rigidly en-
forced. The management, except in
emergencies, will not permit any over
time work, and Sunday work is con-
fined to jobs that are absolutely in
d~ispensable.
The other roads indulge in much
more overtime and Sunday work. In
July employees on an hour basis were
paid for 29,131, sos overtime hours, OF
14.17 per cent of the total compensa-
ton.
That the Ford management is moi
actuated by a charitable impulse is
proven by the fact that n~otwithstand-
ing the relatively high wages paid
workers its financial condition is en-
tirely satisfactory. Ever since Ford
established the Sc per day minimum,
the road has been earning its fixed
charges and has a balance for divi-
dend requirements. Never prior to
that time vas it able to make its
fixed charges. For example: For the
first eight months of this year the De.
troit, Toledo & Ironton had net oper-
ating revenues of 1925, 1913, an in
crease of 5000, 976 over the CORE
spending period of 1922.
That it is good business to pay a
living wage is demonstrated by the
fact that the operating ratio of the
Ford road-yhich is the percentage OF
its income devoted to operations
1875 per cent less than the ratio for
1922.
Practically every other road in the
country, the reports to the interstate
commerce commission show, has in-
creased the operating ratio this year.
Ford has secured permission from
the commission to further share with
employees the profits of his road
through the sale to them of stock
certificates.

The convention adopted resolutions
calling for the organization OF teach

and the Oregon Agricultural College,
indorsing the proposal Of Pressmen's
Union No. 43 for establishment OF

MUST VOTE
UPON STRIKE ISSUE

The 1923 convention OF the Anal
gamated Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of Amer
lea defeated a motion to amend the
constitution so as to make it manda-
tory upon the international president
or his deputy to call strikes without
a strike vote of the union upon the
refusal of employers to arbitrate con-
t~roversies.
Delegates ~favoring the amendment
stated that the arbitration policy was
used by employers against the best in
terests of the union. 1t was claimed
that there is Psychological" time to
pull a strike, and that advantages to
the men are often lost due to arbitra-
ton negotiations.
President Mahon opposed amend
ment and ridiculed the idea of put
ting It upon an officer to declare a
strike" He maintained that strikes
should be voted by the membership,
and that delays are not always dis
advantageous to the best interests OF
the members of the union.
