CALL OFF THE WAGE CUT.

Railway labor has shown the states
manship which the country has grown
to expect from it. 1t is perfectly will
ing to help form plan to revive the
railroads but it cannot do this while
it is fighting wage cut. The first
thing for railroad management
rather, the financial powers which con-
troll railroad management-to do is to
call off the wage cut.
There is bitter need for statesman
ship in the railroad situation; and so
far, no financier has furnished an atom
of it. They have refused so far to call
off the wage cut. Higher rates and
lower wages are all they seem to
know. Higher rates, which will drive
still more traffic to the trucks; lower
wages, which will lessen the buying
power which is far too small already.
No permanent good can be done to
the railroads until their capitalization
is cleaned up. From the time when
the Union Pacific issued $94,o00,0o0 Of
bonds to build road which con-
gressional committee found to cost
about $5o,ooo,o0o to the time almost
yesterday when the big roads spent
hundreds of millions buying lesser
roads that weren't even paying their
way, railroad finance has piled up fixed
charges, to be passed on to consumers
and workers.
One-third of the railroads Of this
country are bankrupt now, and half
the rest are on the edge of bankruptcy.
1t is high time for a change.

gen. Rayon contains only the first
three. The new artificial silk contains
all four.
The new silk is described as stronger
than natural silk, more elastic, with
the same natural gloss. 1t is to high
degree unaffected by moisture-one
place where rayon is weak. Appar-
emily, the duPonts are ready to start
manufacturing stockings and other
knit goods at very early date. And
so begins the last chapter of the cloth
which was sacred in ancient China,
was brought to Constantinople in the
Middle Ages when two HISTORIAN
monks smuggled silkworm eggs out of
China in hollow canes.
Whether the new substance dis
places a good deal of cotton as well
as natural silk depends on its cost
And the burning question of whether
it will make more jobs in America
at the cost of Japan-is one on which
no one can pass at this time.

continue, with concerts each Sun

Thus if a Sunday night pro

played on Monday. If that is can
celed, the ticket may be ex-

following Sunday.
The same method applies
naturally, to the concerts of the
