U. 8. INDUSTRY IN GREAT WAR 70 GET LABOR Billion Dollar Wage Battle Resulting From Pay In- creases, Is Report By H. E.

That the h’gher pay move will soon involve ekiled and white — collar workers as an economic necessary’ was seen in the fact that various Un'éns On dozng,of rallway Ines are negotiating with managers direct for increases. If these negot’ations are not successful, petitions will be pre- rented by them to the United States labor: beard. The board, preparing to hear pleas of ma‘ntenance and shop laborers on a group of roads, expects a oood of petitions from skilled wrkers. Railroads recently laborers include the Santa Fe, nsylvan'a, New York Central, at Northern, and Chicago and At- ton. Increases already granted under ne gotiations and contemplation involv- ing rail workers, total about $125, 000,000 yearly according to labor es- timates here. The increases granted and contemplated by the steel, pack- er, clothing manufacturing and other industries brings the total to about @ billion annually.

Diamond possesses two arms but he has only his right hand, With the left arm. according to the colored gentleman's own state- ment, he is able to take radio mes Sages out of the air and interpret them, thus becoming a living re- celving station for all contributions from the ether. “The arm annoys me at the stump,” stated Diamond. “It buzzes a long time after I take the messages and it keeps me awake nights.” Diamond did not take any mes- sage while he was retained in the Jail. On being questioned later about his vocation, he dec'ared that he was a preacher. “Where di preach?” he was asked. b tie “Oh,” he replied. “That's a dit: ferent story.” The possibility that he may de- liver a radio sermon that he draws out of the air by means of the left arm held above his forehead, will undoubtedly keep otherwise busy policemen crowded around D'a- mond's cell a'l day today.
