FIGHT AGAINST RAIL, WAGE CUT OPENED Union Head Says Living Ex- penses Are Too Uncertain to Justify Reduction. Ry the Associnted Press CHICAGO. April 25.— Reduction of | oad wages would impair the stand-| ard of American living and would have | no justification in “ethics, economic rea- | or the cold, concrete fa ent-day industrial life.” it w by B M.

Mr. Jewel declared that it would require three vears for railway | employes, at their present wases, to] recoup the losses sustained during the | war period “by the failure of their carn-} ings to keep pace with the increased cost of living." | “The railroads rush in and sav.i ‘Give us our pound of flesh’” Mr.| Jewell said. “even before it can be de- | termined whether the cost of living has actually declined since the award s of pres- declared to he Ra Contention: cost of living been most unexpected and unseemly. i There are no data which can be pre- changes in the cost of living as the two main considerations which should fdircet the boar decision in the {wage controversy.

These are: 1. Economy and efficiency. The transportation act requires that the i railroads operate with due economy | and efficiency. We shall show that this has not been done; that because of the financial control 'and policy of the rillroads, resources have been dissi- pated or improperly distributed, im- provements and maintenance deferred and operating has greatly advanced, despite the increased work and pro- ductive efficiency of rallway employes. Our conclusion shall be, therefore, for reduction in wages under any cir- cumstances until the inadequacies of management and the high operating | costs resuiting therefrom have been | eliminuted. | 2. The general policy of the in- dustry. The main items of operating expenses are, of course, fuel, supplies of all kinds and labor. We shall snow the same financial interests also con- trol the production of fuel, timber, equipment, oil and other supplies and that they have determined upon a policy of decreasing railroad expenses by reducing wages and at the same time charging unwarranted and un- reasonable prices for supplies which the railroads must purchase.

The rapid development of interna- Root said, adding: “This is presented by the avowed purposes of the third internationale aiming at the destruction of national governments and the universal empire of the proictariat; by the fact that the brutal and cruel’ despotism of Lenin and his associated group has been able to maintain its ascendency over the vast territory and population of Russia. calling itself a dictutorship of the proletariat, but making itself a dictatorship over the proletariat as well as all other classes and ruling in the name of a world revolution for the accomplishment of the purposes of the third ternationale.” “There is no common ground upon which one can discuss the obligations of international law with the third internationale.” Mr. Root further as- serted, “and just So far as the ideas of Lenin and Trotsky influence the people of a civilized country, just so far the government of that country i weakened in the performance of its international obligation.” Moncel de Oliveira Lima, Brazilian minister spoke. ASK FINANCE MINISTER FOR AID AGAINST STRIKE former to Japan, also Ship Companies Protest Unjust De- mands of Buenos Aires Dock Workers. BUENOS AIR April 28.—The transatlantic “Centro de Navagaccion"” presented a memorial to the minister of finance today asking protection against the unjust demand of the pier workers' union. This memorial add- €d the weight of five overseas steam- ship companies operating in Buenos Aires to the demand of the United States that the Argentine government enforce its “fiscalizing” decree plac- ing_ the port services under govern- ment control, thus protecting steam- ers from illegal demands and boycotts of the workers, such as occurred in the case of the United States Ship- ping Board steamer Martha Wash- ington. The basis of the memorial present- ed today was the demand by the port workers for incrcased wages in con- nection with the discharging of car- goes of coal, resulting in more than doubling the handling cost, although the fiscalization decree faces the le- gal rate for the work. Exactions made for some time past by the port workers have been be- yond the most exaggerated limits, the memorial says, adding that if effici- ent steps to correct the prevailing conditions are not taken immediates ly it must be concluded that in ne country of the world is overseas traf- fic subjected more unjustified requirements than in Argentina. i Havre de Grace Entries. | First race, clalming, for maiden seeking revision of the wake agrec-iwage principles 1o warrant any | nomeroo ®, Ji1i Flamion, 109; Kate r o : ment after May 1 tomorrow at the;change in the decision of last July.

Investigate Vessels’ Loss Close to Shore Near Policies’ Expiration. thie Aswociated Press ’ LONDON, April —Cases of ships !being lost at sea have become s9 nu- merous during the four or five months that the marine insurance agencies here are instituting investi- Tust (gations into the circumstances of !these “disasters.” These cover some cases in which the full claims have |already been paid; in other cases they {have resulted in the holding up of {insurance payments pending inquiries, while still other cases, it is declared {in insurance circles. likely will end in i eriminal proceedings The most suspicious circumstances attending many recent sinkings., the junderwriters declare, have been their almost unfailing occurrence within {safe reach of land. In underwriting circies it has become a common re- mark that never have %o many lost ships been known with so little loss lof life. The Spanish and Portuguese icoasts and the Mediterranean have {been the scenes of the majority of re- jcent deathless sinkings. | Another curious fact noted by the underwriters is the {1o8ses of ships and cargoes just three or four.days before the expiration of |insurance policies on high war-time {valuations. These valuations were {made when shipping was in great de- jmand for war-time or the flourishing {post-bellum traffic, and. consequently, was at the peak of the long-sustained high market. With the coming of world trade depression. however, shipping values took a corresponding slump and the underwriters refused to continue the assumption of risks at_artificially hish valuations. It was shortly after the inaugura- tion of this policy, insurance men say, that the wave of mysterious losses began. In many cases the explana- tion of the captain of a lost ship | has been, “Sunk by striking a mine.” ibut this explanation now is failing to satisfy the underwritbrs, who have [the admiralty’s assurance that very {few live mines are jeopardising the {sea lanes after the sweeping opera- tions recently concluded. :ALEXANDRIA FIREMEN QUIT BECAUSE OF SPEED LIMIT Not Permitted to Travel Over 25 Miles an Hour, Chief and 150 Men Resign.

Meantime the first of the blue jackets to get ashore after three months in foreign waters were head- ing for Old Point Comfort in rollick- {ing launch loads, and the ships of the several fleet divisions were preparing to separate before nightfall to take up their accustomed stations along the coast. The Mayflower was to leave late in the afternoon and to land the President at Washington to- morrow morning. Winter Fleet Maneuvers. iral Wilson's armada reached irginia capes late yesterday from Guantanamo bay, Cuba. This force went south early in Janu- ary for joint maneuvegs with the Pa- cific flect in Panama bdy, and a cruise to South America. Returning, it spent several weeks at Guantanamo in what naval officers have described as the most successful winter drill in the history of the Navy. Besides target practices, there were various other and night spotting. day torpedo de- fense, long-range battle practice and battle torpedo firing. Particular at- tention was given the destroyer force with weeks of tactical maneuvers, both by day and night, and extended gun and torpedo target practices. The Atlantic fleet air force co-operated throughout the maneuvers, including the exercises in bomb-dropping and &»n-firing. Tomorrow the fleet will break ranks, the individual ships scattering to their home yards for overhauling and re- pairs, while the officers and men go on leave to visit their families. While no summer program has been an- nounced, it is probable that the ships will be mobilized again about July 1 at some place along the northern Atlantic coast for summer drills. “ENEMY ATTACKS” REPULSED. Submarines Theoretically Wiped i | Out; Battleships Save Day. LOS ANGELES, April 28—Seven battleships of the Pacific fleet re- pulsed an “enemy atack” in a sham .battle off Los Angeles harbor after the attackers theoretically had wiped out a defending squadron of subma- rines, The “enemy” was represented by targets towed by cruisers. After eight salvos from the l4-inch guns and a number of shells from the 4-inch bat- teries of the battleships had riddled the targets, the ‘enemy” was reported “helpless.” Firing from the battleships was di- rected from hydro-aeroplanes. Hits were spotted from captive balloons. The maneuver was the largest of the sort ever executed in these waters. VISITORS ON MAYFLOWER. Secretary Denby and Party Greeted By Mr. and Mrs. Harding. Shortly before 9 o'clock, Secretary of the Navy Denby boarded the May- flower gand greeted President and Mrs. Harding, who then took the bridge. At 9 o'clock the great battleship Pennsylvania appeared out of the haze. She was followed at 500-yard intervals by the other members of the armada. She approached the Mayflower and, about a mile away, wheeled smartly and passed in review off the port side. Her opening gun boomed in salute at 9:10 o'clock. Over the flagship and extending backward in the pall of smoke hov- ered a fleet of planes. The staccato notes of their motors punctuated the roar of guns aboard the battleships. In a little more than an hour after the flagship had steamed past the presidential yacht, the last submarine in the line slipped by and the fleet anchored in the roads. The Mayflower lifted anchor and joined the armada, President and Mrs. Harding going aboard the flagship Pennsylvania, where they held a reception for the officers of the fleet. ‘When the Mayflower had 'dropped down to her anchorage beside the Pennsylvania, the man-'o-war dressed transportation act, was certified to|Ship from prow to stern. the gray|sponded to a call. hips blossoming’ forth with |before reaching the hospital in an battl fopens of multi-colored flags. some progress | discussions an act of Congress will | 'drllln. including several forms of day| APRID 28, 1921 MORAL FORCE HELD |GERMANS OUTSTRIP GREATWORLDNEED! .S, SAYS SCHWAB Vice President Coolidge, on jAlso Leads Allies in Race To- Founders’ Day, Holds Up ward Normalcy, De- Carnegie Example. clares Steel Man.

Senator Shields of Tennessee will | ask the Senate judiciary committee to give prompt attention to his anti- gun-toting Will. which he has just reintroduced. The bill is designed to suppress the sale of pistols and other firearms of like form, through the aws. It makes it unlawful for any person or corporation to deliver., or to be delivered, to any com- I mon carrier, or to place in the mails for transmission from one state or ) the District of Columbia to another state or to the District of Columl.ix ny pistol or other such fircarms EX i ception is made in favor of the Army and Navy. Senator Shiclds believes that this is the best method of reaching the gun- toting evil. He pointed out that carry- ing concealed weapons is a crime in every community, and that practically ng the sale of firearms. The { trouble in enforcing these laws, he said, lay in the fact that the police authoritics I had no control over the outside supply 1 of pistols and revolvers. The gun-toting evil has long been I recognized. Senator Shiclds and other }members of Congress, however, are de- itermined to bring about a remedy for | the situation, if possible, without further delay. While the Shields bill is n wide and applics to the District of Co- lumbia only with the states, it is be- lieved that it will accomplish consider- able good here. Senator Shields is on record as saying that Congress should ienact further legislation dealing par- ticularly with the sale of firearms in the District of Columbia. U. S.
