RAILWAY LAWYERS UNION GETS WAGE
 OF $65 PER HOUR
I. C. lC. Starts Investigation of Per quisites and Fees in Reorgan-
 izirg Katy" Road.

Private ownership, operation and manipulation of American railroads makes necessary considerable "re-or- ganizing" of these public utility prop critics with fat fees for lawyers and a considerable increment to Wall street bankers. The Interstate Commerce Commission thinks the expense ac- counts of such "re-organizing' schemes impose too heavy burden upon the widows and orphan" stockholders, shippers and consumers, who ultimate 1y pay the bill.
 For instance. the commission wants to know why 1t cost only 5 cents on each S1 GOO of par value securities to re-organize the Southern Railway some years ago. and now costs S7.43 for each Sl .00O of par value securities to per form the same service on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas (Katy) railroad

 The Railroad Labor Board has inter preted a "just and reasonable" wage for maintenance employees to be 25 cents all hour and for machinists and other mechanics 72 cents an hour. But the lawyers who work for the railroads and Wall street bankers do not have to go before Ben w. Hooper and his associates.
 M L. Bell, of Moore & Bell, general counsel for the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific railroad, testified that he was familiar with reorganization work and said the fee charges in the Katy" case, which were at the rate of $500 a day and $65 an hour, "were very moderate, Other members of the lawyers union told the I, (, 5. examiner that they held similar views as to wages for railroad attorneys employed i'll reorganization work

May we ask what. steps you, MT President, as chief executive of bus mess employing more than half a mil lion civilian workers, are taking to bring the wage level of the employees under your charge up to a point reasonably comparable with the increased cost of living?"
 President Steward declared that civil ian federal employees are alive to their obligation to remain faithful to their ap- pointed tasks. depending upon reason and argument to obtain redress for their grievances. This certainly i'm plies a like obligation upon their en- ployer to deal fairly by them" the trade unionist said.
 "In view of your statement to the workers of the United States" con- tinued Mir. Steward, Eve urge upon you to recommend to the congress at its ing of such legislative steps as may be necessary to adjust the compensation and working conditions of the low-paid civilian federal employees in accordance with recognized standards and the exist ing cost of living.
 An expression of such intention from you at this time would be most heartening to the army of civilian work CTS who have been penalized by the mounting cost of living without ade- quate recognition from the employer whom they have so faithfully served" "

12-Hour Day In Federal Service
 Is Not Mentioned By President

Washington, Oct 4.-In his Labor day speech the president expressed plea sure at what he termed the abolition" of the 12-hour day and seven-day week in the steel and box board industries, and now President Steward of the Ma tional Federation of Federal Employees tells him he overlooked the 12-hour day and the seven-day week i'll the govern rnent service.
 In an open letter, President Steward reminded the chief executive that the 12-hour day and the seven-day week exists for many civilian employees, such as the tenders of government locks, keepers of lighthouses and many custo- dial employees"
 Objection is recorded by the trade union executive to the presidents state ment that "one of the outstanding fea- lures of the present day is that Amer ican wage earners are living better than at any time in our history" and that the standard Of living, in terms of money, lis now only o9 per cent above the level of 1915"
 These are grinly tragic words to the thousands of federal employees whose average increase in pay since lo- 13 has not exceeded 25 per cent. and who have had to carry the difference by lowering their standard of living or other equally un-American expedients. Mir Stewart said.

LABOR PREMIERS AGREE ON PLAN FOR
 OUTLAWRY OF WAR
Provides for WorId-W Disarma- ment Conference of All
 Nations Next June.

London, Oct. 1.-The first world-sig
 nifcant result of the establishment of labor governments in Great Britain and France will become public next week:
 It will take the form of well con- sidered plan for the out1awrcy of war and will include call for a worldwide disarmament conference to be held on June Is next year, participated in by all nations willing to sign the proposed protocol providing for international ar bitration and for economic, moral and police penalties against any nation waging war.
 This plan has been agreed to by the League of Nations committees sitting in Geneva, Switzerland, according to Arthur Henderson, member of Parlia- ment and member of Great Britains labor cabinet.
 The French proposition for policing by the British navy has been complete ly dropped An opportunity will be of fered for participation by America, Russia and Germany, irrespective of the attitude of these countries toward the League of Nations.
 The plan constitutes the boldest and most drastic attempt for world peace since Wilson's fourteen points"
 It is put forward in a new atmos- phere created by Macdonald and Her riot
 American Progressives should ex- anime this plan with great care. The plan is not perfect. For example, 1t makes imperfect provision for an op- portunity to revise the Versailles treaty-but it is a tremendous step in the right direction.
 The success of the plan really de- pends on the continuance of the labor governments in Great Britain and France and it might be wrecked by the reelection of the reactionary mili- ldi lSIiC OCOuuSC
 It IS a sober fact that the election of La Toilette would bring international peace and wholesale disarmament by mutual agreement within the worlds grasp. The success of the American Progressives would bolster Macdonald and Herriot in their fight against the British and French mmilitarists and be a decisive force in favor of a system of arbitration irrespective of the League of Nations.
 Cables printed in the London papers that the chairman of the Democratic national committee admits that if the election in the United States were held now neither of the candi- dates would receive a majority of the votes, thus throwing the con test into Congress, have proven a se- we're shock to that portion of the Brit ish press which is controlled by big business They recognize that such result means the defeat of Coolidge and Dawes.
