WAGES TOO LOW, i RAISE IS ASKED
Present Pay Called ''Deicit Wages" by Union Man

Chicago, Oct 10.-Wages now be- ing paid members of his organiza- ton were described as deficit wages" by President E, II. fitz- gerald of the Brotherhood of Rall- way Clerks. freight handlers and station employees in presenting his second days argument before the railroad labor board in furtherance of the brotherhood's request for a restoration of 1920 wage rates.
 He contrasted the wages in effect and the saving wage advocated by Secretary of Labor Davis. He cited figures to support his contention that at least so per cent of the children affected by the boards decision would be inadequately provided for unless existing wages are raised.
 Deficits in articles of clothing, in provision for housing and in the supply of essential household fur nishings, he said, appeared in budgets of families of freight han dlers and clerks.
 No man can support a family with three children on less than s2,OO0 unless he sacrifices many of the decencies and comforts which go to make up the American standard of living" he said "and S2,000 a year is inadequate for the mainte- nance of such a family on the scale expected of workers in clerical oc- equations.

Japanese Navy to Hold
 Gigantic Mimic War

Toklo. Oct. 10.-For three weeks in October Japan will undergo 'in- vasion" from the Pacific ocean. The empire, from the Kuriles in the north to Formosse in the south, will be threatened by an "enemy" fleet from the east. It will be the first major maneuvers to be held by the Japanese navy since the Washington armament conference.
 One hundred and eighty-eight ves- sels of war will take part in the mimic naval conflict, which is de- signed to test the defensibility of Japan against attack from the east. The cost of the maneuvers will be 5,O00,0O0 yen, and of this 3,500,000 yen will be spent for fuel alone.
 All the Japanese navy's air forces will take part in the operations, in- cluding about 100 airplanes and the new Astra dirigible of the kasumi- gaura corps. This will be the first time that aircraft have taken part in Japanese naval maneuvers,

GRADING VITAL PART
OF ROAD MAKING
Costs More Than One-F0urth of
Total Bill.

Grading in road construction in
cludes virtually everything except
paving. In many cases it means re-
tanning walls, piling to prevent slides,
guard rails, deep cuts and fills, the
blasting of large quantities of rock,
and numerous small brides, in addi-
tion to the clearing of rights of way,
ordinary excavation, culverts, and
drainage bitches.
With the same transportation ia
cilities there is not much variation in
the cost of the same type of paving as
between the different States, but grad
ing costs rise and fall in different 10
calities, like the temperature chart Of
q patient with chills and fever.
On the sandy plains of the South
west, grading costs are almost moth
ing. In any comparatively level or
rolling country arey are low. In hilly
country they advance rapidly, and in
mountainous regions reach their maxi
mum. Thus no definite figures as to
grading costs can be given.
From 1917, up to March 1, of the |
present year, the Federal Government |
had helped to build 33,036 miles of |
completed roads. These roads in
clude all of the leading types, and are
distributed among all of the forty
eight States. On this work the aver
age cost Of grading was $7,658 per
mile.
Up to the first of March, of this
year, the average cost of all road i'm
provements in the United States, as
shown by the Federal report, was
$25,562.69 mile, so that the average
cost of road making, exclusive of
grading, was thus $179O469 per mile.
Grading may thus roughly be stated
to cost slightly more than one-fourth
Of the total price per mile OF road.

TEN MILLIONS A
YEAR ON ROADS
Oklahoma to Maintain PRINCIPAL
Highways.

Oklahoma is entering the good road
era. The greatest sum appropriated
for any former Oklahoma highway
administration was $1,OOO,OOO. This
year. according to E. Bee Guthrey.
secretary of the commission, the.
States $3,OOO,OOO will be matched
with $2,000,0OO in Federal money.
The commissioners intend to trade
with counties and have the $4,000 600
matched dollar for dollar. Thus, the
highway department experts admins
ter a fund of $1O,OOO,OOO. In six years
Oklahoma will have spent S6O.O0O.O0O
on roads.
Hitherto the highways department
has turned the divisions Of the Fed
eral aid roads over to the counties
through which they pass for maillte-
nance In future, Oklahoma will
maintain her recognized highways.
Eventually all important roads are to
be maintained by the STATE.
