Amount Not Known

Under the wage agreement the
decision of the public service COM
mission is final for both parties.
The amount of the increase to be
sought is not definitely determined,
but car men are talking 1t over.
The present scale ranges from 81
cents an hour for beginners to AZ
cents an hour for men who have
been with the company five years or
longer. The scale now provides AZ
to AZ cents an hour for motormen
on one-man cars and for bus
operators.
During the strike the men never
presented a clear-cut wage scale de-
mand. the fight being based pri-
marily upon recognition Of the union.
The union did, however. at one time,
deliver to the street railway office
demand which called for not less
than 55 cents an hour. This demand
was ignored by the company. which
stood upon the contention that the
proper procedure was to follow the
plan in the wage contract.
The Interstate Public Service Cor
poration and the receiver for the
Union Traction Company, operating
Indiana interurban lines, recently in
creased wages of car men cents an
hour.

CAR
MEN TO ASK
WAGE JUMP.
New Request May Result
From Organization of
Railway Employees.
PLAN UNDER CONTRACT
Committees Being Named at
Five Barns.

A new request for increased wagesl
for employees Of the Indianapolia
Street Railway Company is expected
to grow out of the annual organiza'
ton of employees committees now
in progress.
Under the wage contract approved
in 1918, by the public service COM
mission, employees may ask for wagel
increases or better working conf
ditions or make complaints In
dividually or by committees before
the superintendent the first and
third Tuesdays of each month.
Strike Faded Out
Approximately 500 motormen and
conductors of the company's 1900
employees struck for higher wages
July 3. The strike gradually faded
out as the company. replaced the
men with former employees, some
strikers went back, the company OBJ
tanned Federal injunction against
violence and it became known that
one Of the strike leaders had beenl
in the company's employ.
The company contended I'm the
Federal injunction proceedings that
the strike was illegal because the
men had not exhausted the steps,
provided in the wage contract.
Follow Contract Steps
It is indicated now that the em-l
ployes intend to take the wage con-
tract steps.
Committees Of employees are being
named at each Of the five car barns.
Under the plan in the wage contract
the men name such committees each
year at this season. Heretofore,
however, the move has meant little,l
in some years some Of the barnsl
falling to name committees.
These committees will hold a
meeting soon, select leaders and for-'
mulate definite terms to present to
the company.
Should the superintendent fail to-
grant their request by the next regu-
lar day for meeting with the en-
ployes they man appeal to the presi''
dent. If he does not satisfy them
within ten days they may appeal to-
the public service commission, which,
must, under a special statute, hold
a public hearing and act as a board
of arbitration.

FOOD AND HEALTH
By VINIFRED STUART GIBBS.
Food Specialist.

Some one has spoken of the drama
of blossom and seed commenting on
the thrill that comes with the sensing
of the fact that even such tiny trav-
eIers as bees and hummine birds are
actors in the drama staged by nature.
A thrill even more intense is the
reward Of one who devotes himself In
any capacity to the feeding OF the
race. Drudgery may follow drudsery
routine of food preparation may for
a time distract the mind from contem
plations of Immortality, and then sud
denly there comes a day when the
food server awakens to the realizing
sense of what he is doing.
He is property man, stage manager,
dramatic director and more in a drama
that deals with life itself.
What matter if he has hankered
after writing a play to be produced
on Broadway? The drama of food
and life is bound up with the eternal
verities. For this author, this play
wright who deals with life, while he
writes only fraction of the great
drama, vet realizes that when he feeds
people he makes or mars the chances
of complete development of their inn
mortal souls. Is not such a realiza-
ton better than mere box office re-
turns?
And reflect for a moment upon the
workers who toll to help In this drama
the farmers, the millers, the dairy
men, the cattlemen, the packers and
distributors, the statesmen and the
chefs.
It is good on occasion to turn the
mind away from the dry-asdust facts
Of food and nutrition and to visualize
these facts as they are translated into
human values. Stimulating and at
the same time SOLDERING Is the thought
that we who deal with food and nu-
triton are helping men and women
and children to better enjoy both
work and play. We may ask ourselves
the age-old question, what is life all
for?" Then we fall back on the only
answer so far vouchsafed us--that
this life is for the purpose of prepar-
ing for whatever Is next in store
for US.
Surely it takes no large fund of
Imagination to see the help that food
and nutrition may be to us in this
preparation.
So, IL for time our spirits drop.
If we are weighed down by sense of
futility, It is fine discipline to reso-
lutely turn our thoughts toward max
ing our diet as nearly perfect as pos
sible. With the preservation of nice
balance between bodybuilding mate
rial and body-regulating material we
shall soon find ourselves possessed of
so normal and sane an outlook that
we shall find scant time for worrying
over the why's and wherefores Of ex-
istence.
Seriously, to one who Graves a ''ca-
reer' or to one who must have self
expression" there Is this bit of ad-
vice: Strive with all your might to
learn the facts Of nutrition and then
apply these facts and principles to the
feeding Of yourself and your family.
Before you know it your career will
be assured and you will realize that
you are both playwright and actor in
the greatest drama ever written. That
the drama of food and nutrition is
but prelude to the great drama that
is to come Is surely not an over
drawn conclusion.

Stump Speaking"

Now campaigners talk from auto

who put the stump i'm stump
speaking?
II was i'm the early days of our
Republic. when settlers formed sparse
little communities and the itinerant
orator had to go into wooded districts.
that for the rostrum, the platform
that was to raise him above the crowd,
there was frequently available only a
tree stump. There are seasoned cam
paigners, doubtless who would remem-
ber the days when a stump speaker
truly lived up to the name.
Also, the expression Ito stump"
meaning to block the efforts or i'm
pede the progress of some one. comes
to us from the old method of blocking
a road by putting one or more tree
stumps across it.
