The explosion is believed te have been

When the explosion occurred two

Chicago nnrt Alten Provides Test
The receivership of the Chicago nnd
Alten Itniliend, filed yesterday in Fed
fial District Court, was viewed today
by a high Federal official in clese touch
with railroad affairs as one means of
relief from strike troubles. It would
place the read under Federal supervis
ion, this official pointed out.
The read was declared te have a to
tal indebtedness of $11,01)0,000 In the
statement of attorneys, of the read. It
also had difficulties with strikers at sev
eral points, but these troubles, except
with the striking shepmen, have been
cleared away. However, the (iovem (ievem
ment official here said that, under re
ceivership, any nets of strikers against
the rend could be considered as directed
against "the Government nnd would pro
vide a test of such Government super
vision, W. O. Werd, president of the, Chi
cago and Alten, wns expected te arrive
In Chicago today and confer with W.
W. Wheeleck, local attorney who, with
Mr, Illerd, wns named one of the joint
rtcclvers.
W AY UNION OUTLINES
"LIVING WAGE" IDEAS
Chicago, Aug. 31. (H.v A. P.)
Pursuing the efforts of the Maintenance
of Way Ilrotherliend te base Its pleas
for increased minimum wages en a
"llvlng-wnge" principle. W. ,T. I.nuck.
union stntltlcinn. tedny before the
Ilnilread Laber Heard testified that
what he termed the "living wnge" If
established in nil branches of American
Industry would mean nn increase In
wages of from 22 te 31 per cent.
A 22 per cent Increase, Mr. I.nuck
said, would enlv raise te nn annual
wage of SlftOO thofe workers new re
ceiving less than that sum. This would
Increase the cost of living 14 per cent,
but he declnred the increased financial
burden would be offset by ether fac
tors. As against the SM, 000 .000, 000 which
the witness said labor had received In
wages In 1018. Mr. lifiuck said capital
In that venr hnd received a return of
$28,000,000,000.
Attorney Aronsen. representing the
New Yerk Central lines, snld that the
witness' statistics indicated Ifchat the
"living wage" Mr. I.auek spoke of
would Increase wages ."511.300.000,000
nnd that the increase te the railrendM
would amount te about $1,300,000,000.
Mr. Lnuck said that the added finan1
elal burden from the "living wage"
would be offset by the "efficiency of
labor and the lncrense of American cap
ital." nnd that labor would be stabil
ized, "-tj
"The laboring mnn would be better
housed, better fed nnd would nnturully
be healthier," the witness continued,
"lie would net lese any time from his
work and he would be able te save."
Ills suggestion that capital would be
lnerenscd lie explained by Raying thnt
out of their savings the empleyes would
Invest In Industry. Absences from
work en account of sickness and migra
tion of labor .would be materially les
sened under the "living wage," Mr.
Lnuck said.
Kmphntle denial of charges that he is
serving net only ns a member of the
United Stntes Railroad Laber Heard,
but also ns president of the striking
shop crafts' organization, wns made to
day by O. A. Wharten, one of the three
labor members of the beard.
Mr. Wharten made the retort when
Informed of n dispatch saying the
charges would be contained in nn nrtl
cle In the September 2 issue of a New
Yerk magazine, quoting another mem
ber of the Federal arbitration body ns
saying "the shepmen's strike wns en
gineered from inside the Lnber Heard."
Mr. Wharten wns president of the
railway cmplejes' department of the
American Federation of Laber from
1012 te 1020, when he was nppeintcd
te the Lnber Heard. He snld he wns
re-elected president nt the union's con
vention Inst April, but that his re
election was merely a formal tribute In
npprcclatien of pnst services and thnt
it was understood he wns net te serve.
It also Is charged, nccerdlng te the
rejiert, thnt Albert Phillips, another
lfiber member of the benrd, is vice presi
dent of the Hrotherheod of Locomotive
Firemen nnd Knginemen. Mr. Phillips

Is Marriage Like Gelf?
MacDonald Kent thought it was claimed it was "full
of mental hazards."
Eleven years of married life, two children, a wife who
asserted that she no longer loved him that in fact he had
actually become repulsive te her but, net enough money te
maintain two establishments.
Then, there were the children, an indissoluble link.
The household remained intact, but always it was
perched en the brink of disaster until
MacDonald faced the predicament of telling Jane that
his little business was wiped out, even their home was gene.
Did Jane stand the test of true womanhood?
