mand for time and a half pay for
.overtime was granted only for men
. engaged in yard service and for the
others this question was referred
to the railroad administration's
board of adjustment No. 1, already
created .for consideration of dis
i putes relating to railway trainmen
and enginemen'.
The average advance in pay per
.man per year will be about$160,
Completes Cycle.
This action practically completed
the war cycle of wage increases
granted railroad men since the gov
ernment took over management of
the roads IS months ago. Only a
few minor requests for more pay
remain to be acted upon.
including tdday's order the, ag
gregate pay increases allowed toy the
railroad administration' to the 2,000,
000 railroad employes is at the rate
of $822,311,000 a year, 'more than.
$400 average per man," Thus the
-total payroll of America's railroads
isr raised nearly to $3,000,000,000 a
year from the basis of approximate
ly $2,000,000,000 on January 1, 1918.
Increases Total $690.
The $65,000,000 added to the pay
rolls of members of the "Big Four"
brotherhoods brings the total
granted this; class of employes in
the last three years to approximate
ly $275,000,000, or approximately
$690 per man.
' In the first general wage advance
made by the railroad administration
following the recommendation of
the railroad wage commission ap

distributed among the railroad em-

went to trainmen and enginemen
and about $260,000,000 to other em
ployes. On supplemental orders,
about $150,000,000 was added to
payrolls of the shopmen, about the
same to maintenance-of-way men
and clerks, and about $45,000,000 to
telegraphers and station agents.
Expect More Advances.
' Compartively small increases in
pay are expected soon for dining
car and sleeping car employes.
Railroad companies estimate the
wage increases at nearly $100,000,000
more than the railroad administra
tion. "
Railroad actountants calculate
that about $1,000,000,000 a year jwill
be forthcoming trom -the rate in

additions indicate that more than
80 per' cent of this , is eaten up in
Discussing the effect of wages
.on operating costs, itfis year, Mr.
Ilines said in making public the or
der that "through the elimination
of overtime, which will be unneces
sary '' uiider peace conditions and
through ability to regain experienced
employes who were lost during the
war, the total increase in wages
would be substantially less on the
'same volume of business than the
foregoing based o the calendar
year 1918 would indicate, ' and of
course, the increase wil be less if
the volume of business is less."

Railroads Protest "
"The railroad managements, how
ever, strenuously insist that there
is no such analogy, because they
say that work on the road is in the
nature of piece work, also that the
higher speed in freight service is
frequently not economic and hence
the failure to make it ought not
to be penalized, and also that the
employes while on the road can
not be under strict supervision, and
can largely influence the time con
sumed and the soeed of their
trains.
"The board of railroad wages
and working conditions recom
mended that this question be sub
mitted to a bi-partisan board of
eight, 1. e., four representatives of
the managements and four repre
sentatives of labor, for a thorough
study and report on this question.
This course will be pursued, and
the question will be submitted to
railway board of adjustments No.

resentatives of the managements
and four representatives of labor.
Infective steps will be taken to
secure the promptest possible ac
tion upon this matter."

"(By Universal Service and the London

1 Berlin, April 11. Either we hurry
ana make peace with Germany or
else we will, face a soviet Germany
which will not make any peace.
Sending foodstuffs alone is no
check to the rising tide of bol
shevism. We have control of the
world raw materials. If we deny
them to Germany she will die.
Already signs of bolshevism are
making themselves felt in Prussia.
A former Grman ambassador to
one of the allied nations said to rile
today: " '
"I am frankly pessimistic. An
early peace might have favored the
situation but now I fear it is too
late." ,
The allies hold the trump cardsv
We could have won the peace as
we won the war and could have done
what we liked with Germany but
we shirked our responsibilities.
Either we have the means to
establish an official receiver to run
the country for the benefit, f its
creditors or we allow Germany to
get better peace terms than she ever
hoped for in her wildest dreams. '
TL. r lV ,
xnc ucrmans nave only one
weapon bolshevism. If we delay
few weeks - longer, the German
government will throw in its hand
and say to the allies: "Do what
you like."
I he whole thinking class in Ger
many would beglad if British and
American troops occupied Germany
permitting those who wished to
work to do so. ?
Finally, remember that the allies
are dealing with a. desperate, hation
a nation hungry for peace

Songs of Sentiment on New
Columbia Records Just Out
A song of imaginative sentiment
has been sung by Campbell and Burr
for Columbia this month. "I'm For
ever Blowing Bubbles" tells of
"dreaming dreams and scheming
schemes and building castles high."
Day dreams and castles in Spain are
almost universal, so the song should
1 t . t
nave a wiae appeal, it nas a oeauti
ful melody to which Campbell and
Burr do full justice. On the other
side of the disc you can hear Henrys
tfurr s tenor in the "Beautiful Ohio."
a melodious love song which has
also been played by the Columbia
band as a dance.
Every Irishman and all his friends
(and this includes nearlyeveryone)
will enjoy "That Tumble-Down
Shack in Athlone," which has been
described as an Irish "Home Sweet
Home. ' This Columbia record is
well sung by the Sterling Trio with
an instrumental interlude introduc
ing familiar Irish airs. On the other
side the same trio sings convincingly
"You're Still an Old Sweetheart of
Mine, ; a song setting forth the
eternal, truth that there is always
one sweetheart who is never for
gotten.
The Columbia Orchestra makes
beautiful music of two medley
waltzes for Columbia records this
month. They are "The Rose of No
Man's Land, which introduces two
other popular - favorites, and "Till

"The Blue Bird." . ..
