..Commerce Commission
Takes Steps to Relieve
Soft Coal Shortage
Washington, April 16. The con
tinued coal car shortage prompted
the Interstate Commerce commis
sion to amend previous notice to
carriers and shippers concerning the
distribution of cars.
"Until experience and careful
study demonstrates that other rules
.will be more effective and bene
ficial," the announcement said, "the
uniform rule as contained, in the
lailroad administration's car service
' section circular, providing for the
pro-rata distribution of cars for the
transportation of coal shall be con
tinued injeffect except that private
cars and cars placed for railroad
fuel loading will he designated as
'assigned cars.' All other cars will
be designated ?.s 'unassigned.'"
The new rule was necessary, the
statement said, because of the cessa
tioit of government control of coal
production and distribution apd in
order that railroad fuel requirements
might be met "without the necessity
Of carriers resorting to confiscation
of commercial coal.'-
. Union Engineers of .
Chicago Schools to
Strike for Increase
Chicago, April 1. Union engi
neers of the public schools, who. are
( demanding an increase of 40 'per
"Vfjfnr, will turn over . their keys to
the board of education Friday morn
ing and go on strike. There are 225
of them and the school board, which
. recently took desperate chances
with the law in advancing the sal
aries of teachers, cannot see how it
can meet the demands of the engi
neers. . !
The board has been trying to get
some definite statement from the en
gineers as to what they earn. Their
pay is based upon the number of
square feet .of floor space in. their
several buildings. Out of this
salary they pay their own janitors
and hremen. .As nearly as the board
can (jgure out, the engineers are
making from $130 to -$300 a month.
. Inasmuch . as the board of edu
cation has no money to meet the
increased demand, it will call the
spring vacation at once.

. Chicago Union Stockyards

declared that the Gleaners had long
desired a market in which to handle
' their own products and added that
the decision of the government that
the stock yards must be sold brought
forward the opportunity.

CITY EMPLOYE OF
CHICAGO GIVES
EYESIGHTS JOB
Bacteriologist Uncomplaining
ly Does His Work and Be
comes Blind While Others
"Soldier" and Kick
ChJrafo Tribune-Omaha Bn Leased Wire,
Chicago, April 16. Dr. Eugene
Webber is one municipal employeJ
who behevfs tn giving the city some
thing for the pay he draws, so he
gave his sight. Twenty-three years
of peering through a microscope in
the bacteriological department, shuf
fling millions of germs on little glass
slides, squinting at test tubes, have
finally sent him blind.
Dr. Webber paid no attention to
hours or the demands for more
money, tie teit mat tne satety ot
the people of Chicago rested largely
, I J T J . - I .1
in nis nanas. in oraer 10 reacn me
remote corner in which he works,
one has to pass-long rows of politi
cal employes resting their heels on
mahogany desks and howling about
being underpaid and overworked.
At a badly worn desk sits Dr. Web
ber, now past 75 years.
Bacteriologist of Note.
He is a bacteriologist, of note, a
man of distinction in his line, and
his work has done marvels for the
health of the city, i
An apologetic smile came over the
old doctor's face when he was asked
as to his condition for he is still
working. "I have Vowing much to
say. I still work, as you see. There
is a great deal to do. No matter
how much you do it becomes neces
sary to dp more. Oh, yes, my eyes
are a bit bad, but, of course, I can
still see, a little, and I canstill direct
the, work of those whose eyes are
still strong." , - '
He does not consider he has made
any personal sacrifice or that he is
entitled to any sympathy. He took
his work as he found it, and if one
happens to go blind, that is all in
the chances one takes in any line.

THAT is the kind of increase in salary tht
minister has received. His living expenses
have risen just as fast and as far as yours. "
But he is paio! on the average just 52 cents
more per church metnber than he was paid 34
years ago.
, The Minister Never Fails You ,
Every officer of the Government with a war message to
deliver appealed to the ministers first of all
But 80 of the ministers receive less income than govern
ment economists figure as a minimum for the support of an
average family.
When hospitals need money they enlist the support of the
ministersand receive it . '
'But when sickness visits. the minister or the members ot
his family they must be treated in a charity ward His pay
is less than a day laborer's.
We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than $2Q a week
about half the pay of a mechanic And bi these pitifully in
adequate salaries, how much do you contribute ? Nothing if
you are outside the church; an average of less than 3c a day
if you are a church member. '
All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to the
community. They marry Us; bury us; baptize our children;
visit us when we are sick. In their hands is the spiritual
training of the youth. - "
We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense
. Part of the Interchurch World program is this a living
wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant and
a chance to do a big man's job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It's the best investment for your communitv-and
for your children that you can make.
