BY International Labor News Service
Chicago, ILL.,, June 28.-Workefs
are entitled to a living wage, regard
less of the financial condition of Il
business operated by q receiver
This, in effect, is the ruling Of
Judge Hugo Friend of the Circuit
Court of Cook County, in deciding
that the employees of the Chicago q
Interurban Traction Company should
be paid a fair wage, despite the
fact that it is in the hands OF a re
ceiver.
Judge Friends decision was given
in the case of 80 members Of DIVISION
241, Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway Employees
of America against W. W. Crawford,
receiver of the Chicago d lnterutban,
which runs between 63rd and Halsted
streets. Chicago, and kankakee, III.
Wages Cut, Men Ask Court Decision.
In 1922, following a reduction IN
wages on the Chicago Surface Lines
from so to 20 cents per hour, the
Chicago q lnterurban Traction Com
pany announced its intention to re-
duce wages of its employees from so to
refused to accept and took strike
vote, which resulted in 60 for and 7
against. The day following the strike
vote a foreclosure proceeding was
begun and Crawford was appointed
receiver Notices were posted by the
receiver announcing that thereafter
thas wages of the trainmen would be
60 cents per hour The officers of
Division 24l advised the employees to
take their grievances to the court
rather than to strike, and the en-
ployes accepted the wage reduction
under protest.
A petition was filed with the court
by the employees setting forth that
the receiver had wrongfully reduced
their wages; that an arbitration board
had established the maximum wage
rate for Chicago street car men at
70 cents per hour; that all of the
interurban employees lived in the city
of Chicago and were subject to the
same living costs and conditions as
other street car men in the city, and
that therefore they should receive the
same wage.
High Wages Blamed For Lines
ihooiSNhsys
The receiver and the First Trust q
Savings Bank, which was the COM
plainant in the case, representing the
bondholders, answered the petition,
stating in substance that the wages
were reduced not wrongfully, but on
account of the necessities of the prop
erty, and that the high wages paid
the men was the cause of the roads
insolvency.
Hearings in the case began April
Is, and continued three days. 1t was
testified by the employees that since
1915 the same wages have been paid
on the Interurban line as paid by the
SrytaSsosliaasa.apsta fhataeyervs.,,t time
Surface lines the same change was
put into effect on the Interurban;
that there was no justification for any
such reduction as the receiver had
made. Several of the employs of
the receiver also testified as to the

WORKERS LIVING WAGE

/ nature Of the work and the tact ihat
| they could not meet their hVinR eN-
penses upon the wages paid.
Workers Declare Wage Cni
Injustiiied.
TIE receiver and company intro
dueed figures showing that the ROAD
was being operated at loss and that
they could not possibly afford any
higher wages than were being paid.
The employees took the positi0n that
the financial condition Of the road
was immaterial; that If the receiver
wanted TO operate the road he SHOULD
pay the regular going rate OF wages
for the same kind of work paid IN
the city of Chicago; that if he eouid
not operate the road and pay a lalf
and reasonable wage, he should close
down the road; that neither. ne nor
the bondhOlders had rigH to
operate the road at the expense OF
the men; that labor had to be pad
the value of its services regardless
of whether the receiver was poor or
rich; that the receiver had to pay
the regular market price for all sup.
plies and equipment, and that he had
no right TO cut wages of the men
because the road was in poor fnan
cial condition.
On behalf Of the men legal author
tiles were produced laying down the
principle that even though the ROAD
be in the hands of a receiver, fair and
reasonable wages had to be paid to
the men called on to operate IT,
though no dividends were paid on the

The decision by Justice Taft, when
he was one of the joint chalrmen OF
the War Labor Board, holding that
financial condition of the company
was immaterial, was also cited by the
employees.
Judge Upholds Men In Every
Particular.
Judge Friend handed down a de-
csion in favor of the men, sustaining
their contentious in every particular.
He laid down the broad rule that 1t
was a sound logical principal that
the receiver had no right 10 ask the
men to work for less than a fair and
reasonable wage simply because the
road was in poor financial condition.;
that it was a wholesome doctrine that
if the receiver wanted to operate the
road he had to pay fair wage and
that if he could not afford to pay
fair wage, then he should close the
road.
The court also held that since the
receiver had to pay the market price
for everything that he bought, that
he had no right to attempt to reduce
operating expenses by taking the
wages from the men simply because
that esemed the easiest way of re-
ducing expenses; that the receiver
had no right to operate the road at
the expense of the men, and that IN
his opinion the financial condition of
the road was absolutely beside the
Tas,estion. and that the, only question
wage to be paid to the men.

BANKERS ENDORSE
MELLON PLAN

Washington, d. C.-Seventy-five
! leading bankers of the Nation, repre-
| senting twenty-six states attended
the meeting of the American Bankers
League here this week called for
tn purpose of giving consideration to
the Mellon Plan of Tax Reduction.
The Convention, after considering
the Mellon Plan, unanimously ap-
proved it and called on the Ways
and Means Committee filing with
them, their official endorsement of
this policy of Government
Hon. Carter Glass, former Secre-
tary of the Treasury, addressed the
Bankers meeting and endorsed the
principle of the Mellon Plan and
vigorously opposed the Soldiers
Bonus.
The report filed by the Bankers
with the Ways and Means Committee
stated that the borrower ultimately
pays the tax of the lender, including
income and surtax; that twenty-five
percent of the profits of any con
Germ is the deadline in taxation; that
taxation is an economic issue and
should be kept out of politics; that
our present tax system makes it easy
for the public to go in debt and hard
for the individual to get out of debt;
that the banker would finance agri-
cultural and productive industry il
the Mellon Plan is adopted; that
Surtaxes and Income Taxes positively
determine the interest rate or point
at which capital will flow into pro-
ductive industries instead of tax ex-
empt securities and that the bankers
of the Nation are ready to join in
calling a halt on unlimited bond is
sues and want to divert capital to |
productive industries.

ISN'T 1T TRUE?

There is no industry that has so

culture, among which are colleges of
agriculture, experiment stations. col
lege extentions, farm bureaus and

primary purpose of which is to
make two blades of grass grow

has largely been accomplished. the
result of which has been, in recent
years, an over production that. in

PUBLIC HEALTH is

Child Vision


This reading age. Almost from
the cradle to the grave our eyes are
busily engaged in consuming the
written or printed page. The cave
man in the hazy past had no daily
paper, no favorite magazines, no
thrilling novels. He carried his
club and his eys found great useful
ness in scanning the distant hills
and valleys, looking for possible enc
mics. Even in the last generation
has the "eye" load been increased
to almost incredible magnitude.
Compare conditions now with those
of twenty years ago. We have SO
newspapers and magazines where
we had one then. We have brilliant
Mazda lamps instead of the flame
from the kerosene. We have more
elaborate curricula in our public
schools. Systems of teaching have
been advanced until the school child
of today progresses three times as
rapidly as did the child of 26 years
ago. The girl of sixteen today has
read more books than her grand
mother probably ever saw. No won
der that the swift pace we travel,
with it's resultant tax on the eyes,
makes us be-spectacled race.
Take the school child. PsychoIo-
gists tell us that almost 80 percent
IF the childs education during it's
,irst twelve years is acquired through
he use of the eyes. The eye the
age of seven is no more fully de-
yeloped than is any other part of the
body. The strain and tax put upon
his immature and undeveloped eye
If child from retroactive effort is

-elopment has provided for Sooner
IT later an unusual strain and tax
eads to heartaches, dizziness and
anguor. Study becomes an irk-
ONE task, the child becomes irri-
able and listless in mental powers,
nd it is difficult for him to keep up
nth his class.
Since the mental development of
he child is largely dependent upon
God eyesight, it is necessary to cor
ect at an early time any undue tax
n the immature, delicately con-
Lructed eye. The school authorities !
ave done their part by using I'M

ooks and the use of large, legible

) to make each word stand out prom 6
lently. Time has been spent in t
evising well lighted school rooms, !
properly arranging blackboards {

During the past few weeks, nearly
all parts of this county have been
visited with several good rains.
which seem to have helped the grow,
ing crops considerably, in the differ
ent localities which we have had the
pleasure Of visiting
The corn crop. which is q little
backward this year on account of
the late spring and unfavorable con
ditions. is looking fine, and should
our county not be visited with an
early frost. We have good prospects
of another bumper crop of corn.
The bean crop. which is rather an
important crop this year owing to
the large acrage. compared with
previous years in this comfy, bids
fair to making good yield.
