'PAY SCHEDULES '
AGAINST WILSON
Willcox Shows Figures in,
Charging He "Juggled"
With the Facts
Washington, D. C.—President Wilson '
completely Ignores the facts In the j
railway controversy In defense of the
Adamson eight-hour bill, according to I
a statement Issued by Chairman Will- j
, cox, of the Republican National Com- j
| mittee. Mr. Willcox says:
! "President Wilson absolutely ignores 1
i the question at issue between the rail- j
way employes and their employers i
' when he attempts to defend the rail- j
i way wage-increasing bill. In his ef- <
| forts to create the impression that the;
| men were starving to curtail their |
| hours of labor and that what is popu- j
; larly known as 'the eight-hour day"
was Involved he ignores the facts. The |
j men were seeking higher wages not 1
j shorter hours. It was not a question ;
1 of the eight-hour day. and it 1 is hard !
jto believe that Mr. Wilson does not'
| know that."
"Mr. Wilson said to liis audience at '
Shadow Lawn on September 23: 'And'
jso I asked the privilege of consulting
| with them (the representatives of the j
■railroads and their employes). Be- i
j fore I consulted with them 1 of course
| made myself acquainted with the points ;
jof the controversy and I learned that J
I they were simple Indeed: that the men
(demanded an eight-hour day. and that
lin order to make the eight-hour day |
' work, they demanded that the railroads :
; pay them one half more for over time I
i thaii they paid them for the time in j
| the regular pay. the men alleging that |
; that was the only way they could ob- i
I tain a genuine eight-hour day by mak
! ing the railroads any more for tha time
beyond l the eight-hours than they paid
for the time within the eight hours.
Wky They "Did Not Auk For F.lght
llotir l)ny"
! "In this paragraph Mr. Wilson says >
he acquainted himself with points at |
controversy and then says the men de- i
| manded 'an eight-hour day,' and that j
j the railroads pay them one half more j
: for overtime than they paid them for ,
| time in the regular day.' Now, I say j
•that the men demanded nothing of the;
j kind. They did not demand an eight-|
j hour day and titer did not demand j
tone-half more for time in excess of
eight hours, that is clearly the impres- j
| sion Mr. Wilson would convey but it j
is not a true impression."
| "The men did not demand an eight- !
hour day because tliey were willing j
|to work ten, twelve, fourteen or even j
' sixteen hours a flay and to accept pro i
jrata for the time in excess of eight!
hours, provided the speed basis they
• asked was conceded. The man who |
i now receives forty cents an hour under i
' the demands of the brotherhoods for ten
1 hours, pay for eight hours time would I
j receive fifty cents instead of forty cents j
an hour or four dollars for an eight
-1 hour day instead of for a ten-hour day.
But according to their demand if any
man worked sixteen hours, the legal
j maximum time, and ran 200 miles in
that time his pay would amount to only
eight dollars or fifty cents an hour for
; the entire sixteen hours. The railways j
| would not be compelled to pay time and j
a half or "punitive overtime' for a single
j hour."
Operation of ••Overtime Allowance**
j "The demand for overtime, with
I which Mr. Wilson juggles in his effort
''to mislead the public into the impres
i sion that it was for an eight-hour day
punitive overtime, operates only
I when the men are unable to make the I
agreed speed. The employe is paid j
there time or mileage, whichever is
' most profitable to him. If he cannot
make the agreed speed the road must
pay punitive overtime, not for the time
he works in excess of eight hours, but
for the time in excess of what he would
have worked had the agreed speed been
maintained. For instance, the man who
: works sixteen hours and makes 175
'miles, instead of 200 would be entitled
to pay at the regular rate for fourteen
I hours, that being the time required to
: run seventy-five miles at the agreed
! speed limit of 12% miles an hour, and
for time and a half for the remaining
two hours The compensation of a man
earning fifty cents an hour, therefore,
and making a 175-mile trip in sixteen
. hours would be fourteen hours at fifty
j cents an hour, seven dollars, plus two
j hours 'overtime' at seventy-five cents
lan hour, $1.50 or SS.SO in all. As Mr.
| Wilson states it his pay would be eight I
j hours at fifty cents, four dollars, plus j
: eight hours overtime at time and a half j
' (seventy-five) cents), six dollars, mak- I
I ing a total compensation for sixteen i
j hours of ten dollars. Of course, Mr. I
Wilson's statement is untrue, and the !
: difference is material."
| "If the men had demanded an eight
hour day, with time and one-half or ,
° punitive overtime for all time in ex- ;
! cess of eight hours, there might be
some excuse for Mr. Wilson's effort
| to create the impression that what is '
j popularly known as 'the eight-hour j
j day' was involved. But that is not what
J the men demanded, and is lnexpll-
To Quickly Remove
Ugly Hairs From Face
,
(Beauty Notes)
Beauty-destroying hairs are soon '
banished from the skin with the aid
of a delatone paste, made l>y mixing
some water with a little plain pow- '
dered delatofle. This is spread upon J
the hairy surface for 2 or 3 minutes,
then rubbed oil and the skin washed |
to remove the remaining delatone.
This simple treatment banishes every ,
trace of hair and leaves the skin >
without a blemish. Caution should be !
used to be certain that it is delatone j
you buy.
How to Treat
Croup Externally
Rub Tick's "Vap-O-Rub'l Salve well
over the throat and chest for a few min
utes —then cover with a warm flannel cloth.
Leave the covering loose around the neck
so that the soothing medicated vaporc aris
ing may loosen the choking phlegm and
ease the difficult breathing. One applica
tion at bedtime insures against a night
attack. 25c, 50c, or SI.OO. At druggists.

"l*ny frbcdulr In Complicated'*
"The railway pay schedule Is a com
| plicated affair, and it is hard to escape
'the impression that Mr. Wilson seeks
jto take advantage of that fact when
! lie misstates the 'point at controversy'
and says the men sought to make 'the
railroads pay more for the time be
yond the eight hours than they paid
for the time within the eight hours.'
!Of course, the only alternative is to
. give Mr. Wilson the benefit of the doubt
I and assume that he never has and does
inot now know what he is talking
| about.
j "The men asked for qo time-and-a
half pay as long as they made twelve
[and one-half miles an hour, irrespec
i tlve of how long they worked. And it
is in the face of this fact that Mr. Wil
son seeks to make the public believe
' that the men were trying to limit their
working day to eight hours and ask
ing excess pay for all the time in ex
cess of eight hours.
••Mr. Wllaon the Fct"
"Mr. Wilson misstated the fact In his
i first message to Congress and he mis-
I stated them again at Shadow Lawn. Un
der the scheduled demanded by the rail
jroad men in their original demand, mind
! you, a trainman who worked ten hours
•and made 125 miles would gnt no punl
i tive overtime. He could be worked
i twelve hours and if he made 150 miles
there would be no punitive overtime
due him. He could be worked fourteen
hours, and if he made 175 miles there
would be no punitive overtime due him.
Me could, however, as-I said, be worked
! sixteen hours and If he made 200
miles there would be no punitive over
j time due him, punitive overtime being
! the 'one-half more for overtime' to
which Mr. Wilson refers.
"President Wilson misstated the facts
in the first paragraph of his message
to Congress on this subject. He said
j then:
| 'I have come to ask your assistance
jin dealing with a very grave situation
| which has arisen out of the demand
!of the employes of the railroads en
! gaged in freight train service that they
be granted an eight-hour working day,
safeguarded by payment for an hour
CASTOR IA

!n Use For Over 30 Years
land a half service, for every hour of
work beyond the eight.'
"This was a bold statement of fact,
|as I have shown. And further along
; Mr. Wilson was compelled, in order to
| get the legislation he demanded of
! Congre.*, to codify his first statement.
| When he came to make his recommen
; dations of legislation he said:
i ! " 'Second, the establishment of an
eight-hour day as a legal basis alike
1 |of work and of wages," etc.
■ j "It was tljat the eight-hour day be
i made the basis of wages on which the
; j brotherhoods insisted. Certainly Con
i I gress appreciated that, for it passed a
; I bill which made the eight-hour day
i the basis of wages and compelled the
. j railroads to pay their men ten hours'
. • wages for eigiit hours' work and pro
. j rata for .ill additional time, and which
:; lie informed himselfetnolnshrdleutaoln
. will in no way operate to curtail the
. hours of labor, and the brotherhood
• presidents were satisfied and called off
. the fight."

I.ondon, Nov. 3. No. 13, king of

It all came about this way: The
man and his wife looked over some
new houses in a hew street and de

of the dwellings. They talked to owners
of the property and everything was
rosy until they came around a week
later to feast their eyes on their pros

them from its resting place over the
front door.
Shivering with fear, they said "Nay!
