SHENANDOAH «LEAVES TEXAS CITY ON TRIP Next Stop on Her Long Jour- ney Will be San Diego, California right | ON A 9,000 MILE TRIP Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 9, (By the A. P.) After a delay of 45 minutes waiting for the sun to come from behind some low clouds and shine long enough to expand the helium in its huge body, the Naval dirigible Shenandoah cast eff from Fort Worth on the sec- ond leg of its trans-continental flight at 9:46 a. m., central stan- dard time. After circling over Fort Worth the silvery gray ship turned its nose toward the west, with San Diego as its next port of call. For the first time in the history of aerial navigation, a dirigible airship came to rest at the land- ing place west of the Mississippi river last night, when the naval ship, Shenandoah, was successfully moored for the night at the new mooring mast here. The fastening of the ship to the mast, the first time that the Fort Worth crew had ever attempted the task, was not accomplished without difficulty, the strength of human hands being necessary to complete the job. si The huge dirigible which is now making a 9,000 mile jaunt for re- search purposes of the United States navy was sighted in the east at 7:10 p. m., central standard time. The arrival in Fort Worth completed the first 1,400. mile lap of the tour that will take the ship three sides of the United States. There is one motor vehicle for every 72 persons in the United States. The. crater of Katmai voleano, whic! now a part of the United States national. monument, has a cir- cumference of 8.14 miles, T FINALEDITION | PRICE FIVE CENTS INGTON EVENS SERIES COUNT, 2-1 LABOR MINISTRY OF ENGLAND FALLS ‘125,000 RAIL MEN ASK FOR WAGE INCREASE: Clerks, Freight Handlers and Station Employes File Application ATTACKS PRESENT SCALE Spokesman Asserts $2,000 Year Necded For Fam- ily of Three a Chicago, Oct, 9.-- Officials of the Brotherhvod “of Railroad and Steam- ship Clerks, Freight Handlers and Station Emplo filed with the United St road labor board a demand for a wage increase rang- ing from 4 to 7 and 8 cents an hour. Upward of 125,000 men and women employes of 45 Class 1 railroads are affected by the demands. The rail- roads indicated® they would oppose the raise on the g) nds that mem- bers of the brotherhood are as well paid as are those ou indu doing the same work. Brotherhood chiefs ntain that wages for clerks in particular have not kept pace with the pay of other railroad employes and also aliapute the contention that clerks on roads receive as much as clerks other industries. Union heads tain the average pay of clerks is 43 cents an hour. E. H. Fitzgerald, head of the clerks organization, argued that the roads were earning a billion dollars a year now and then workers in oth- er industries were receiving some- where near the wage paid in 1920. He said the clerks were entitled to as much, Clerks, id, were unable to live as well today as in 1895, Rep- resentatives riers will pre- sent their case tomorrow. kind of DEFICIT WAGES Chicago, Oct. 9—Wages now being paid to members of his organi were described as “deficit wages” by President E. H. gerald gf the otherhood of — Ruilw: ight Handlers and ployes in presenting his argument s Railroad Lubor Board in furtherance of the Brotherhood’s request for a restoration of 1920 wage rates. He contrasted wages in effect the saving wage advocated by Se ary ctitaleciOavinHejeltcaltisar) to support his contention that at least 80 percent of the children af- fected by the board's decision would be inadequately provided for unless existing wages are raised. Deficits in articles of clothing, in provision for housing and in the sup- ply of essential household furnish- ings, appeared in budgets of families of freight handlers and clerks. “No man can support agfamily with three children on less Yhan $2,000 unless he sacrifices many of the de- cencies and comforts which make up the American standard of living,” he said. “And $2,000 a year is inade- quate for the maintenance of such a family on the scale expected of workers in clerical occupations.” - 16,000 SHEEP PURCHASED FOR FARMS INN, D, Sam Crabbe Announces That Shipments Are To Start Soon and Helena, Mont., Oct, 9.—The first consignment of.16,000 breeding ewes, purchased in Montana by the Agri- cultural Credit Corporation of Min- neapolis, for distribution on North Dakota farms, was loaded at Brown- ing yesterday, according to S.

The play, dealing with an Army theme and particularly the Marine Corps, brought forth loud protests in New York, résulted in high officers of the services being asked to view it and proposal that Mayor Hylan censor it. It ‘was charged that the play, with its many “cuss” words, depicted the Marine Corps in an unfriendly and unfair manner. Maxwell Anderson graduated from the University of North Dakota in 1911, according to friends here, who! say they attended the University with him.

Campbell, acting editor of the Workers Weekly, charged with inciting his majesty’s forces to sedition.
