SON IS FLYING AROUND
 GLOBE FOR U. s. ARMY

STOCKHOLM, Aug. 15.-Sweden's S greatest booster for the success of the American round the world flight is a little white-haired old lady in Stockholm, who may be seen sitting any day in an avalanch of newspa- per, with a pair of scissors in her hands, and a map of the projected route on the table. Late editions of the dailies come to her home as soon as they are off the press, and she scans the cable columns for every scrap of news of the airmen and of the progress of their undertaking. Ali times her eyes grow big with appre- hension, but more often they sparkle with vivid satisfaction. It is because the high adventure is hers, too. She is the mother of Lieut.. Erik Nelson U. s. A., the engineer officer of the round the world flight.
 "We expected Erik to become a sea captain" says the white haired lady, "bat we never dreamed that he would take to the air. Then she tells how Erik in his teens went tc sea for number of years in Swed- ish and British ships, and how once in a storm off Cape Horn he divec overheard to rescue the mate, who had been swept into the sea.
 "If he comes back next Christmas, said Mrs Nelson, with the light o1 mother love in her eyes, "he vii see that I had my eye on him all the time he was flying around he world"
 Lieut. Nelson went to the United States fifteen years ago."

Several hundred officers patrol
led the district on the west side

groes into the neighborhood, large
ly populated by foreigners.
Epstein was accused by George
Bell, brother of the victim, and
Thomas Clark, negro, who were
present at the time but were not

he ran out of his shop after hear
ing the disturbance. The two
negroes questioned were positive
in their assertions that he had
struck the blow.

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Wages now being

were described as deficit wages" by
President f. II. Fitzgerald Of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerk 5
Freight Handlers and Station En-
ployes in presenting his second days
argument before the United States
Railroad Labor Board in furtherance
of the Brotherhood's request for I.
rcstola alton of 1920 wage rates.
He contrasted wages in effect and
the saving wage advocated by Secre-
tary of Labor Davis. He cited figures
to support his contention that at
least 80 percent Of the children af-
fected 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 sup
ply of essential household furnish
ings, appeared in budgets Of families
of freight handlers and clerks.
"No man can support Rfamily with
three children on less than $4,000
unless he sacrifices many of the de-
cencies and comforts which make up
the American standard Of living" he
said. "And $4,000 year is made
quate for the maintenance of such
a family on the scale expected of
workers in clerical occupations"

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Officials of the

ship Clerks, Freight Handlers and

United States railroad labor board
demand for wage increase rang
ing from to 7 and cents an hour.
Upward of l25,0OO men and women
employees of 45 Class ! railroads are
affected by the demands. The rail-
roads indicateds they would oppose
the raise on the grounds that mem
bers of the brotherhood are now
as we'll paid as are those outside the
industry doing the same kind of
work
Brotherhood chiefs maintain that
not kept pace with the pay of other
railroad employees and also dispute
the contention that clerks on rail
roads receive as much as clerks in
other industries. Union heads main
tain the average pay of railroad
clerks is 43 cents an hour.
f. II. Fitzgerald, head of the clerks
organization, argued that the rail
roads were earning a billion dollars
year now and then workers in 9th
er industries were receiving some
where near the wage paid in 1920. He
said the clerks were entitled to as
much. Clerks, he said, were unable
to live as we'll today as in 1895. Rep
resentatives of the carriers will pre-
sent their case tomorrow.
