IS
BASIS OF WAGES
Phila. Street Car Men Paid on
Unique Basis

Philadelphia, Oct, tP,--A new
wage standard for its employees,
based upon the nuctuation IN tho
purchasing price OF the dollar and
other factors in the cost OF living,
Is being considered by tho Mitten
management OF the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company.
After a lengthy Investigation the
transit company officials have
reached the conclusion that the
present wage standard, based upon
the average wage paid to transit
company workers In Chicago,
Cleveland and Detroit, originally a
wartime eXpedlent, Is not salts
factory plan or equitable to the
local motormen, conductors and re-
lated workers,
The proposed new plan was re-
vealed by DR.. A. A. Mitten, SUPER
visor OF industrial relations for the
Mittep management headed by
Thomas +. Mtten, at a recent
hearing before the Pennsylvania
public service commission to de-
termine whether the existing tenn
porary fare OF IL cents, or two
tokens for IS cents shall be made
permanent.
Outlining the plan to the COM
missloners. DR.. Mitten declared:
I'VE have felt for some time that
basing the mems wages on the
three-clty average, was not alto
gether satisfactory, as P. r. T.
men are accomplishing here far
more than is being done elsewhere.
"A special committee OF en-
rloyes has been appointed to con-
fer with a committee for the EN-
ployer TO consider adoption of a
new basis for determining wages,
These committees are now Jointly
studying the feasibility of a plan
to base fluctuations in wages,
starting with an agreed scale as a
base, upon fiuctuation in the 'pur-
chasing power of the dollar.
THE obvious advantage of the
plan would be that having reached
standard In living based upon
the present scale of wages the men
should be protected in that stand
ard Of living through the fact that
no matter what economic condi-
tons confront them their wages
should never go down faster than
ire fall Of prices of food and
clothing, nor should the prices of
the necessities Of living go up fast

Maori, De ME0|L
both RETURNED
Brought Back 10 New Haven In
Murder Probe

New Haven. Oct S,-Joseph Ma
crl and Michael De Meoli, arrested
In New York In connection with the
death OF Henry B. johnson, whose
llfeless body was found in the bush
80 at the foot OF Oak street the
moring OF September ., were
brought to this city yesterday and
locked up in the county Jail.
Questioned BY Mix
Roth we're taken first 10 the Of
ice OF Coroner Eli Mix and ques-
toned. Just what they told the
coroner was not disclosed, IT was
said, however, that the men repeat
ed the story originally told to the
police In New York after their ar
rest.
According to this story Maori
and De Meol found johnson In
front OF the army and navy store
at Congress avenue. and Commerce
street. Some passerby offered them
some money to take Johnson home.
They said they put the man Into a
taxlcab and tried to locate his home.
Failing in this they lifted johnson
out OF the taxi on Oak street and
placed him in the bushes in the be-
lief that the man, thought to be In
toxicated, would sober up In the
morning and find his way home.
Conflicting Stories
A police officer had previously
testified that he saw Maori and De
Meoli at the Congress avenue store
and when he questioned them about
Johnson, they said he was a rail-
road worker and that they knew
where he lived and we're going to
take him home. It was said last
night that the youths denied they
had talked with a policeman.

Peculiar Atmospherical Conditions
Plunge Detroit Into Darkness
Fatalities Result

Detroit, Oct. 3 R--A storm
phenomena that plunged Detroit
and other Michigan cities into the
darkness of night for more than half
an hour yesterday cost four lives,
resulted in the probable fatal injury
of two others and the less serious
injury Of ten more.
Two section workers were killed
and twelve others injured when the
velocipede and three trailers on
which they were riding on the Wa
bash tracks near Milan, Michigan
was struck by a Chicago TO Detroit
passenger train. Darkness prevent
ed the men seeing the approaching
train. Two men met instant death
at Lansing when struck by lightning.
A combination of fog, low hang
ing clouds and thunderstorm caus-
ed the daytime darkness in Detroit,
the weather bureau explained.

W. W. Lukins. Superintendent of the Alaska Road Commission on Seward Peninsula, arrived from Juneau last Tuesday, after stren-
 uous trip from Nenana to Nome via the Yukon river winter route. MT. Lukins brought back the dog team that John Hegness used in making the trip from Nome to Ne mana.
 It will be rememberd that last summer MT Lukins was sent to N me to look after the activities in this section for the U. S. Engin eers and the Alaska Road Commits sion. and it is with much pleasure that the people of this community greet him upon his return, and feel that the Commission should be congratulated upon returning to Nome an engineer. who by his past work and endeavors, has proved himself well fitted for the task before him. The Nome sec tion for several years past has had d new engineer sent here each year which has not worked out very satisfactorily. for the reason that i, takes at least one year to find out what is really necessary, and how hest to accomplish the best results it the least cost. Now with q resident engineer on the ieb year after year, this section can look forward to increased ac- tivities such as it has never enjoy ct. in the past.
 Supt Lukins in an interview with the Mayor and publisher of this newspaper. has numerous plans concerning future activities which will come before the newly elected council and for that reas- or We prefer not to go into details at this time. but will as soon as matters have come before the council officially. give full public it, to the extensive improvements which are planned for road and harbor work.
