Capitalist Press in
War Over Sensation
Hunting; Trib Wins

Responding to the plants Of the
Chicago Tribune. the circuit, criminal
and superior courts in Chicago are
banning the taking of photographs in
courtrooms. They are also forbiding
the use Of typewriters and radio and
telephone instruments.
The keen competition between the
Trib and the Hearst papers for the
best pictures and the quickest service
has so far left the Trib a step or two
in the rear. So It roared editorially
for the suppression. Of a news field in
which 1t was not holding its own.
Andrew r. Sheriff, chairman Chi
cago Bar Assn. committee on rela-
lions OF the press to judicial proceed
ings, admits that the Tribune is re-
sponsible for the new prohibition.
."That editorial was the backbone Of
the whole movement" Sheriff says Of

LUMBER BARONS
APPEAL $4,000
MURDER JUDGMENT
Expect to Beat Widow
in Higher Court
BY j. w. LEIGH

NEW ORLEANS FP)-A verdict
for $4,000 is being appealed by the
Great Southern Lumber Co. of Boga-
lusa and five citizens Of that town. 1t
was returned in federal court in favor
of Mrs. L. e. Williams, widow of Lem
Williams, labor man killed at Boga-
lusa in November 1919. Lem Williams
operated a garage and was president
Of the trades council which was sup
porting the mill workers in union
izing, policy opposed by the lumber
company. When white workers were
displaced by Negroes there followed
partial organization of the colored
men. A party Of men came to Will
liams' garage and Williams and two
others were killed and two wounded.
Williams widow charged her husband
was murdered by agents of the Great
Southern Lumber Co. 1t was further
charged that the whistle on the COM
pany's plant was used to assemble
the mob to kill her husband.

RAILROAD WAGES

IN FEBR U AR Y
Government Figure s
Prove Reduction
BY LELAND oLDs.

Railway employees received $4,000
900 less in wages in February, 1925,
than in February, 1924, according to
the interstate commerce commission.
This resulted from reduction of III
923 in number employed and of about
50 in the average monthly wage.
over 40 per cent of this reduction
in wages came out of the pockets OF
the train and engine service employees
whose monthly total fell per cent
from $61, 712,6 $50 in February, 1924, to
S5S,SO7, 423 this year. The railroads
carried on their payrolls 1884 fewer
train and engine men in 1925. The
average monthly pay in this group
fell from $1S4 to $751;.
More detailed study Of the figures
shows that while total straight-time
compensation of train and engine SER
vice employees fell per cent the re-
duction in overtime and arbitrary pay
amounted to IL per cent. Apparently
the railroads are taking advantage OF
the changes in rules in recently nego'
tiated agreements.

es in Feb, 1924 and 1925 follow:

1t is pointed out by Latin-Ameri-

Freight service employees were the
chief sufferers from any changes in
traffic or in operating conditions COM
pared with year ago.
For the railroad industry as whole
the average wage was $3.50 in Feb,
1925. compared with 1882 in Feb,
1924. The range of wages for able
bodied male labor was from $66 to
about $3.50 a month. These include
1859 1888 section laborers at $66; 49,
$40 extra-gang laborers at $50; 61,-
All common shop laborers at SIS;
46,479 shop and engine house workers

men at $131; Sab dispatchers at 1881.
These monthly wage statistics re-
iterate monotonously the fact that
the wage structure in the railroad In
dustry rests on a minimum inadequate
to let the worker meet the demands
of life. For the. entire month of Feb
ruary a quarter of a million men re-
ceived less than SIS each. Such a
minimum depresses wages all along

At least, there were no surface in

his return was approved by Governor

governor had not granted him leave
to go back.
