Say Lauck’s Charges Do Not Aliect Situation at All Chicago, May 7.—The statements g presented to the railroad labor board | by W. Jett Lauck, consulting econom- ist for the railway labor unions, charging that large amounts of money are being wasted in the management of the railroads have no relations to the wage question now before the board, it was contended in a state- ment filled before the board today on behalf of the western rallroads. The statement signed by Charles H. Markham, president, Illinois Cen- tral raflroad; Hale Holden, president, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy; H. E. Byram, president, Chicago, Mil- waukee and St. Paul;: W. H. Finley, president, Chicago and Northwestern; J. E. Gorman, president, Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, and M. Fel- ton, president, Chicago Great West- ern. “The sole purpose of these state- ments is to divert public attention from matters actually pending before the board,” the carriers sald. “They are bald propaganda intend- ed to discredit private management and promote the Plumb plan. We re- spectfully protest against the board continuing to allow hearings before it to be made a means of spreading this progaganda. “Since these statements have becn permitted to be presented to the boara we respectfully call your attention to the fact that in addition to being ir- relevant they are gross misrepresen- tations of railway management and that their tendency and purpose is to mislead the public. We deny that the capitalization of the rallways as a whole is excessive. Even if it were this would have no effect upon pas- senger and freight rates since the in- terstate commerce commission specifi- cally bases the rates upon a wvaluation made by the commission itself. “It is charged that the railways and concerns from which they buy fuel, materials, supplies and equip- ment are under the same financlal centrol and that in consequence the railways pay excessive prices to these other concerns. Every rallway buys material from literally hundreds of different coal, iron and steel, lumber and equipment companies all over the country and the charge that the rallways and all these concerns are under the same financial control is absurdly untrue. ‘Even if they were under the same control this would not prove that the rallways pay excessive prices. “Among the items of alleged ‘waste’ Mr. Lauck mentions is loss and damage. In 1917 the last year be- fore governmeént control, payments for loss and damage to freight were only $35,000,000. In 1919 after two years of government control this had increased to $116,804,000, or 205 per cent. “It is clalmed the ‘productive efficiency of the employes as meas- ured by the amount of traffic handled per employe has increased. This claim is in direct contradiction to the facts. In 1916 the number of ton- miles of freight handled per employe was 241,641, and in 1919 only 208,026. in 1920 it had increased to 221,921 It declined under government control and increased under private opera- tion in 1920 but even in 1920 was much less than 1916 or 1917, “The railway managers are trying to effect every economy that is prac- ticable under present conditions. They realize that if they could raise sufficlent new capitatl to make needed improvements they could effect very large economies by reducing the amount of labor, fuel and materials used. Until, however, they are al- lowed to earn enough net return to enable them to raise the new capital for these improvements, these economies must be held in abeyance.” RIFLE SHOOT HELD Corbin-Russwin Club Holds First of Series of Events at Shuttle Meadow Range Today.

He tried several times to escape and nally succeeded in obtaining the | services of a Finnish naval officer who arranged for his leaving the country. hey were captured, however, and the naval officer was shot. Mr. Wil- 1 Ner was sent to prison at Petrograd and placed in.a cell with 65 other Prisoners. In this cell there were but 20 cots for them to sleep on and the conditions were amost intolerable. The food was bad and very little of it could be secured, while many of the prisoners died of starvation and dis- ease. “One day, d Mr. Wilner, T was examined by a drunken warden who condemned me to solitary con- finement because he said I knew too much of the country and he felt that I was a dangerous prisoner.”” Later he was transferred to another pris- on. *“I was tried before a court, not like the one in this country,” said Mr. Wilner, “but by one man who as- sumes the right to convict you as he | pleases, and the result was that I was { sentenced to 10 years at hard labor. Had to Clean Streets, Mr. Wilner's duties at hard labor | were those of cleaning the streets carting rocks and sawing wood. Dur ing his imprisonment, the dreaded typhus was ragng. Again his under- standing of affairs stood him in good and he was transferred to clerical work instead of hard labor. He ap- plied for a place to live outside of | prison as the place was unbearable This was granted Mm and he secured a room at a lodging house, paying some Vodka (liquor) for the use of it. At the prison he had left, 42 werc taken out and shot the following da: Conditions at Moscow. For his services Mr. Wilner was given a pass to Moscow. The condi- tions at this place were terrible. The water supply had been shut off and there was little to drink. The food was scarce and people were dying in great numbers. Mr. Wilner made an attempt to escape while at Moscow and for the price of one and one-half million rubles, secured the aid of a Finlander to lead him out of the city. He was again recaptured and taken back to Moscow where he was sen- tenced to be shot. He bribed the sol- diers with some money he had and made good his escape, taking a train o Wyberg, Finland, where he reached the American consul and was given aid. Chaos Reigns Everywhere. Speaking of the conditions existing in Russia Mr. Wilner said that the railroad service was utterly ruinédd under the Bolshevik rule and the food shortage was terrible. . “There were more than 150 people killed at one time during a single wreck on the trains due to carelessness of inexperi- enced trainmen,” said the speaker. “At one time, for a period of ten months, some one million people died of the typhus disease due to filth.” The people were generally engaged in smuggling food into the country and their homes and many “a pathetic scene was enacted during the time he was in that country. ARGENTINE UNONS ARE BEING SCORED Business Interests Announce Intention of Using Non-Union Labor in Loading Vessels. Buenos Alres, May 7.—Formal notifi- cation was sent the Argentine govern- ment yesterday by the Labor Protective assoclation that it intended to employ non-union labor to transport cargoes to | and from ships and if necessary to load and unload vessels. The association is composed of important Argentine com- mercial interests. A delegation told Finance Minister Salaberry that beginning on Monday the association proposed to employ its own carters and should the stevedores re- fuse to load products not brought by union men the organization would have its own stevedores ready. Reports were current here last night that the association planned. to give armed protection to carters and steve- dores in its employ. New York, May 7.—Cabled reports from Montevideo that the Munson line steamer Aeolus was bringing back to New York 1,500 tons of cargo which could not be discharged at Buenos Aires, were denied today by officials of the line. The Buenos Aires cargo, it was said, was transferred at Montevideo to ' the steamship Laurel, which will carry it to its destination.

Since that time 6-66 models have invited every test of speed and endurance that could prove the metal of a real champion. At one hundred points in the nation these mighty cars have tackled the best local hill climbing records and surpassed them with ease. And in each case the tests have been conducted by unprofes- sional drivers in standard models that any man can buy. It is not necessary to explain or amplify such consistent success in the field of sport. The records speak for themselveu in the most positive terms. They affirm that, irrespective of price or piston displacement, the Paige 6-66 is the leader of all American sporting cars. If you believe that championship form is the best guarantee of all ’round efficiency, then you must beliave in the Paige. If you believe in demonstrated performance on road, hill and track, the 6-66 with its exclusive power plant must inevitably be the car of your choice.
