To work out a multitude of inequi- ties of pay among employes doing similar work in different localities and other injustices caused by varying rules of employment and condition of orzanization, the director-general | created a new board of railroad wages and working conditions, consisting of three labor representatives and .three railway executives, which will conduct extensive investigation and recom- mend wage and other employment arms, and two surgeons, a chaplain and forty-eight seamen who were with them, are mentioned for com- mendation. Admiral Wilson in describing situation said: “The sea about the wreckage was covered by a mass of boxes of smoke- less powder which were repeatedly ex- ploding and amongst these wreckage were a number of survivors. , The wreckage was so thick that small boats were unable to reach these men. The heat from the burning vessel in the vicinity was so intense that the converted vachts present, with wood- en upper works, could not safely pen- etrate the wreckage. “Under these conditions, Lieutenant Haislip took his vessel at high speed into the midst of the wreckage, at a considerable isk of detonating the depth charges carried on his Vessel and made lanes through which tne small boats lowered by his and other vessels could reach the survivors. “The dash, initiative and courage shown by Lieutenant alisilip on_ this accasion are in order with .the best The harvesting of the 1918 wheat crops began iz America yesterday, in| parts of Dented, Cooke and Wise coun- i ties, Texas.

Back Pay For Men Dismissed. Back pay due under the retroactive increases will be sent to any man who has been dismissed from the rail- road service since January 1 or who has entered the army or navy, but! not to an employe who quit volun- tarily. An important principle contained in the director-general's order is that reductions in_hours since 1915 are not ' to be regarded as increases in pa This means that employes of the four brotherhoods affected by the Adam- son act are to receive additions on top ' of the increases developed by that act. | For instance, an engineer who made $4 a day working ten hours in, 1313, | thay have bis pay inereased to $5 for the same. number of hours under the Adamson act.
