RAL CASE Provisional Reduction in Cut Set for Tomorrow Is Asked of Board. CHICAGO, March 31.—Provisional re- | I duction of wages of approximately 26,000 {unskilled workmen on the New York | Centrol railroad, to be -effective April 1, | was asked of the Railroad Labor Board | yesterday. Immediate relief from the present rates was sought pending a hearing on permanent reduction later, and at the same time an- nouncement was made that, confer- ences with other classes of labor were in session this week and that reductions in every class of railway employes were being considered. During the testimony of J. Aron- son, counsel for the New York Cen- tral, A. O. Wharton, labor member of the board, inquired into the proposed reduction and inquired how the un- skilled labor class was selected for a cut. Before the railroad testimony was finished, B." M. Jewell, speaking for made a brief answer ad's request, declaring it would be without precedence for the board to acquiesce in the New York Central's request. Mr. Aronson replied that the cost | of living had shown a steady down- ward trend for nearly a year and thyt a similar trend in wages of other industries also was noticeable. Traffic rates, he said, could not be determined for any length of time and that the present rates were wholly inadequate, he contended. Reductions Proposed. Reductions of 17 to 31 per cent were proposed in various classes of unskilled labor on the New York Central, and a comparison with com- mon labor in other industries was made by M. A. McClory, statistician for the road. Maintenance of way employes, he said, would be reduced from 45 cents and 48 cents an hour to 33.cents and 35 cents. Farm labor figures were introduced, backed by S. L. Striving, president of the AmericAn Farm Bureau Fed- eration of New York, and Frank M. Bradley, head of the New York State Federation of Agriculture. ‘Wages in 1920 averaged from $50 to $85, according to Mr. Striving' figures, and now were down to § to $65. F. E. Warner of South Haven, [Mich., president of a large fruit e change, said_the i now about now, as compared with 50 cents in 1920. S e and Steamship Clerks and Associate Workers declared here. Alleging the inspectors were locked out on the pretense that there is no freight, the attorney asserted the men will agree to be paid only on a percentage of amounts. “actually saved to the rail- road by discovered improper classifi- cations.” If there is no freight, he added, or the shippers properly classify their | goods, “there will be no salary.” PENNSY'S TROUBLES TOLD.

Wage scales of 1920 and 1921 in twoscpre cities on the New York Central were submitted to show the comparative pay in other industries for common labor. Decreases of ap- proximately 20 per cent were shown to be the awerage in Albany, Utica, Rome, Rochester and New York city. In the latters suburbs, decreases as high as 33 per cent were recorded and in Buffalo and Amsterdam, N. Y., de- creases were around 30 per cent. ' Twenty-five per cent decreases were shown to be the average in Cleveland, Alliance and Toledo, Ohio, and Fort’ Wayne, Ind. Several points, including Syracys: Rochester, Dunkirk, Ontario, } and Erie, Pa., were reported as ha: ing decreases averaging 15 per cent. INVITE BIG FOUR HEADS. Owners of Rail Securities Appoint .Special Committee of 25. NEW YORK, March 31.—In en ef- fort to hastén a settlement of the labor difficulties between the rail- roads and their employes, the ex- ecutive committee of the National Association of Owners of Railroad Se- curitles, meeting here, invited fthe heads of* the “big four” railroad brotherhoods to attend a conference in New York on April 4 to discuss thg situation. special committee of twenty-five members, representatives of the va- rious sections of ,the country, also was appointed, and will endeavor to be helpful, a statement said, “In as- sisting to relleve the immediate situa- tion, and later, generally helpful in such directions as may appear es- sential.” In its letter to the brotherhood chiefs, the committee stated the rail- roads “are not producing net ea: ings, as a whole, sufficient to' me their fixed charges by millions of dol- lars.” “One weakness in the present sitna- tion.” said S. Davies Warfield. presi- dent of the association-‘“is lack of co-ordination betweeri the two gov- ernmental hodies that deal with the raflroads; one adjusts rates, the other wages.

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkall. This dries the scalp, makes the hair, brittle and ruins it. . 1 The best thing for steady use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and greaseless) and is better than anything else you can use.” One or two teaspoonfuls of Mul- sified will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, | creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and | evenly and it Jeaves the scalp soft and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get Mulsified cocoanut || ofl shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and. a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.
