10 MER WAGES FOR R.R. CLERKS; FAIR TREATMENT No Class of Workmen to Be Overlooked in New Wage Schedule Washington, March 18.— Railroad office men are to get a raise. With out organization, the office workers of the transportation systems are to benefit from tho application for in creased wages made by the organ ized operatives composing the great brotherhoods. This is the decision of the Rail road Wage Commission appointed by the Director General, Mr. Mc ■Adoo. It was said unofficially to-day that the wage increases for all workers will range from 12 to 25 per cent., with the average about 20 per cent. The demands made by the brother hoods at Cleveland last. November and rejected by the heads of the railroads, before the government took over the curriers, averaged about 33 per cent., but the brother hood chiefs do not expect such in creases from the government. Big Army of Employes The brotherhoods, composed of en gineers, firemen, conductors, flag men and brakemen, represent about 400,000 of the railroad workers, of Which there arc, including all office employes, about. 2,800,000. The proposer! salary increases will sdd many millions of dollars to tho operating oostJ of the railroads an- V.r government control, but n. sub stantial part of this, it is believed, tan be offset by economies in many other directions. Not the least of these is the elimination of numerous passenger and freight soliciting oY lices. In consider*);.; wage increases, the commission locked to salary sched ules of all of the 2,800,000 workers. Office Men Poorly Paid It has been patent for many years tliEit the wages of office workers have been notoriously. low, although in a majority of instances tho work has demanded men of high school edu cation or better. In the general freight offices of the big systems, where the tariffs are written, college graduates have bad to start at ridiculously small salaries In one of the biggest sys tems in the Middle West and South men in the ratemalcing department got only S6O and $75 a month after several years' experience, and the chief clerks and heads ol' divisions, after many years' service, receive *l5O to S2OO a month.

MONDAY EVENING, BAKER SEES 100 U.S. AVIATORS IN FLIGHT AT FRONT French Camp Is Scene of Demonstration For Sec retary of War On Board the Special Train of Secretary of War Baker, at an Avia tion Center in France, March (date deleted).—"lf 1 said what I think about what we have seen to-day it would sound like "boasting," said General Pershing, after visiting the largest aviation camp in France, where hundreds of American bdys are learning to fly. "What pleased me most was the absolutely perfect order maintained in the supply and repair shops," as s-erted Secretary of War Baker. Where you see that you lind a well ordered and well-regulated camp throughout. I am exceedingly pleased and delighted and I want to congratulate the commanding offi cers warmly on the high standard of efficiency apparent at this post and on all sides. It is indeed highly gratifying and encouraging." More than fifty planes were already in the air when Secretary Baker's special train approached the camp at an early hour this morning. As soon as one of the machines caught sight! of the distunt train. It swopped down i and gave the signal to all the other! pianos, which promptly drew up in j formation, escorting the train to the' special camp center. There the band crashed out a noisy | welcome, in which Russians working! at the camp joined. Aft>r a visit to headquarters the Secretary and his party set off for I the flying field, where the machines | were drawn up in long lines, three deep, the loud humming of the mo tors greeting Mr. Baker. Fifteen j planes darted up simultaneously, fly- ! ing in close formation, and gradually j the air became tilled with squad after ' scjuad until more than 100 machines I were darting about overhead, some ! flying so close that their wings al- I most touched one another. Then there came a buzzing that | was louder than that of the average | motor. It attracted Mr. Baker's at tention and he turned just in time to see a Philadelphia officer. In charge of the training, dart upward in a Moran one-seater. appearing to rise straight as a bird and picking up to a Height of half a mile, where he looped the loop and flew upside dewn while reversing his course sud denly in midair, finally dropping in | a spinning nose dive. Just as it ap-| pcared the flier must crash to earth j he suddenly darted up again. Secre tary Baker congratulated him on the i feat. General Pershing:, expressing his! admiration of the pilot's nerve, ask ed him if it was necessary to take such risks. The aviatior replied that it was part of the training. He said the nose dive was especially useful in escaping an enemy, as it gave the impression the machine had been crippled.

Ilisj address was made In extending to the Kotarians an invitation to visit his ne wsanitary plant in Cameron street just put into full operation "Milk has gone up in price be cause that was necessary to ijive' the farmer a protit on his business, i which he could not have had if old prices had prevailed for milk ami feed continued to high as it is. It is strange how the woman who com plains about a cent more a quart for milk will give 50 cents more for a pair o fsilk stockings with no more than a sigh for the increase in cost. "Kat all the milk you want. The English government has gut the ex ports of milk from the United States from 25,000 barrels of the condensed product to 6,000 barrels. It may be seen therefore that yopu may use wisely all the milk you desire and l not injure our men abroad or our! allies. Milk is cheap and wholesome, j Use it and save meat and wheat." Ashmer M. Blake and Daniel D. j Hammelbaugli spoke briefly con- j cerning their line of work, Mr. Blake j as an interior decorator and Ml'-! Hammelbaugli as secretary of the! school board. William H. Ernest, j attorney, made the address of the| day, on "Where Do We Go From) Here," devoted to our part in the war j and the importance of preparing for the future. The club gave him a vote of thanks.
