Chicago, May 8. Railroad repre sentatives made their final drive for a wage slash on behalf of nearly 100 carriers before the railroad labor board. Devoting most of their argument to denials of the charges of waste and mismanagement made bv the em ployes, counsel for the roads finally cast the charges aside as irrelevant and stood on their original conten tion that wages in outside industries and the cost of living had declined. The board was told it should con sider only the factors laid down in the transportation act in fixing just and reasonable wages by F. W. Sar geant, solicitor for the Chicago and Northwestern. W. J. Lauck, the unions economist, had asked the board to abandon those ' factors, he said. "If the board should set up a stand ard of a so-called living wage for five, as urged by Mr. Lauck, the board should also fix a different standard for different sizes of fam ilies and for individuals." he said. "The very statement ,0 the proposi tion illustrates how impracticable it is to apply the theory. Conditions Changed. "I maintain that if the former wage award was just at the time it became effective; May 1, 1920, it fol lows that a reduction of compensa tion must be granted in view of the overwhelming evidence regarding changed conditions." To adopt the theory of the living wage as a basis for determining rail road wages would be to accept an untried theory of state socialism or to 'countenance, creation of a super privileged class," according to John G. Walber.' summing up the testi mony of the carriers. Mr. Walber, who represented the eastern roaos, completed the roads' rebuttal. The living wage, according to the railroads' investigations, he said, was not an amount necessary to maintain an employ and his family, but "rep resents a standard on whicn certain persons would nice to live. Theory Not New. . "The theory of the living wage is not new," he continued. "We do not intend to ignore it. but we believe the American oeoole should know its real purport and the ultimate ef fect of such a socialistic theory as that laid down by the railroad em ployes. We have no quarrel with the" ambitions or desires of any American citizen to better himself. However, establishment ,of an arti ficial minimum wage would be as fatal as attempting to stifle initia tive and incentive, removing hope ol reward and fear of failure." He declared that railroad exhibits proved that, contrary to the employes contentions, railroad wages had in creased in greater proportion than the cost of living. No intimatiton was given as to when a decision would be handed down, but it was said the board would require at least a month to digest the evidence 67 Will Graduate From High School at Fairbury Fairbury, Neb., May 8.

Chicago Tribune, Cable, Copyright, 1931. Paris, May 8. (By Wireless.) For the first time 490 years aiter her death France paid homage with a national fete to the memory of Joan D'Arc. "saint and martyr." For years the Catholic and the royalists have held some demonstration m her honor, and last, after much pa tient work, they have succeeded in getting the tete placed on a national footing. ' Today the republican government took part, and while the ministers spoke at celebrations in Paris and Orleans, the president sent a wreath to be laid with hundreds of others. on the pedestal of the statue in the Rue Rivoh, to the girl who, by faith and practical energy, delivered France from the hold of the English. kings and gave back to .the most sin gularly ungrateful monarch of all times, his capital and scepter. Ihe fete was mostly a church af fair and the participants were for the most part children from the schools and religious societies. But the state also took part and tried to make the day one of celebration of the patriotism personified in the martyred girl. Incidentally, it should be . men tioned that the utmost care was taken to avoid offending the susccptibili--ties of France's ally, England, in case she should have any affected. lapse after nearly five centuries. .

Monday, are 635, 000 to 645,000,000 bushels. ' Last month the estimate was 621.000,000 bushels, which allowed for an aver age abandonment of acreage. In May, last year, it was 485,000,000 bushels, with the harvest 577,000,000 bushels. i Estimates on condition are 87to 90, compared with 91 last month. Last year it was 79.1, and the 10 year average is 86.8. Acreage estimates are 800,000 to 2,000,000, or from 2 to more than 4 per cent from the 40,605,000 acres seeded last fall. Heaviest losses- in acreage are expected to be in the southwest, particularly Kansas. There will be no report on spring wheat and oats until June. Action of the farmers' organiza tions in attacking the grain ex changes is not regarded by leaders as indicative of sound business judg ment and fair mindedness. "They have used every method to vtllify the grain exchanges," a board official says, "and at the same time the farmers have benefited by using them to market their grain. No overtures have been made by the leaders of the farm organizations for a conference or a 'get together' movement, such as most business in terests would urge, were they to con sider the benefits to be derived by co-operation." . Th?. grain exchanges have been in ?i3tence in tne U sited btates for upward of 100 years' and in Chicago tor ore than U years. Speculation in grain has prevailed since the days of Joseph, who ran . the first grain corner in Eygpt of which the world has knowledge. Leading interests in the grain ex changes of tlie country are working toward calling' a general, meeting of exchange representative's, farmers, bankers and elevator interests to ar rive at a satisfactory basis where all will be benefited. All will have to make concessions. A few abuses that are said to have crept into the trade can be eliminated or remidied. There is an increasing disposition to view the buying side of the wheat market with more favor and larger interests show a disposition to take hold on breaks. There is close ad justment of supplies to requirements, with practically no stock here and not much chance of getting one un less other markets decline faster than they have and get on a ship ping basis with Chicago.

Sensation for Paris; Ghosts Write Poetry Taris, May 8. Can a ghost write poetry? You betcher, says Baron Maurice de Waleffe, the French sa tirist, who tells of a remarkable book of spirit poems just published in Paris under the title of "The Glory of Illusion." Three years ago died Judith Gau tier, niece of Theophile Gautier, and left a collection of slightly er pas sionate novels and collections of poems which were' circulated among friends. One of these friends was a girl, Judith's most intimate companion. A year after Judith's death this girl dreamed a dream. In the dream Judith appeared and commanded her to seize a pencil and write to dicta tion. The result was a series of poems of an exotic character which are triumphs of meter and scan per fectly. They are published , in the ' name of the girl friend. Mile. S. Meyer Zundcl, but Mile. Zundcl says they're not really her work at all, but were directly dictated by her dead friend.
