NEW YORK, March 22.-The La
Follette-for-president boom on a
third party ticket in New York has
now been definitely launched. AS in
Pennsylvania and Idaho, the third
party movement in this state has
adopted Progressive party as its
name. A state convention in New
York City early in May will be a pre-
liminary to the Farmer-Labor meet
ing in st. Paul June II.
A third party committe has al
ready been entrusted with the task
of circulating the petitions, required
to place the party and it's candidates
on the November ballots. Fifty sig
natures from each New York coun-
ty, or a total Of 10000 names thru
out the state, will be mustered at
once, and the blanks will be dis
tributed in April.
Conflicting reports are being cir
culated concerning Wall Streets at
titude toward Coolidge's reelection.
While it has been admitted at Repub-
lican party headquarters here that
influential banking groups during the
past week openly expressed their OPP
position to Coolidge's candidacy, the
same Republican spokesman now de-
clare that a reconciliation with the
recalcitrant fnanciers has been eff
fected.

RAILROAD LABOR
BOARD is TOOL
OF MANAGERS
Average Wages Have
Declined Since 1920
BY LELAND OLDS
(Federated Press industrial Edit

The United States railroad labor
board is revealed as a tool Of man
agement in the statistical picture Of
railroad wages during 1923 Just is
sued by the interstate commerce COM
mission. The commission shows that
the average wages Of the 1879, 40
employees, including the high paid ex-
ecutives, officials and supervisors
amounted to only $1,588 for the
year.
This average wage marks q decline
of l11sTo since 1920 when average
annual earnings amounted to S1,794.
Railroad wages are today only 91Go
above those paid during the year
49, 4-15. Such figures completely
refute the propaganda about high
railroad wages put out by railroad
interests to influence farmers and
small consumers against cooperation
with the railroad workers.
Kept Wages Down.
Comparison between the present
level of railroad wages and the level
OF wages in outside industry shows
clearly the extent to which labor
DOo4u iCBuldJAOu supported DIV
Daugherty injunctions has been used
to hold railroad wages down. Factory
wages, free from the control Of such
tribunals, are today within 31bgS Of
the peak of 1920 and considerably
more than 1000 above the pre-war
level.
During the period of industrial de-
preston factory wages were debated
to a point approximately liz below
1920. But they responded to the in
creased demand for labor during 1928
with a rebound while railroad en-
ployes held in the labor board wise
were unable to take advantage of the
favorable turn Of the labor market.
Hit Unorganized Worker.
The policy of the labor board has
been to hit the lowest paid and least
organized worker hardest. This is
shown in the following table which
pictures the average annual earnings
of Ia typical railroad occupations in
1920 and 1923:
