M'ADOO RAISES WAGES OF R. R. MEN OVER RAISE Modifications Make Prospect Workmen Over Coun try Still Better Washington, May 23. Orders raising the wages of two million rail way employes and giving them back }>ay from January 1 at the new rates were prepared yesterday by Director BUM, 1 (>!)! asr.O UMTKD Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! the girls are marching Cheer up, comrades, we will come, And beneath the Red Cross flag We shall summon aid for you, In this, our land of freedom here at home. Ana they did! The great army in white that tramped the streets of Harrisburg last Saturday, not only made a great impression as the finest parade, but the results this week proved that the army was also capable of securing what it set out to accomplish. As wave after wave of spotless white came along, and thousands of bright little Red Cross insignias spoke more eloquently than words the purpose of this great movement; the faces of the marchers invariably bespoke determination to secure aid for their boys and comrades "over there." With almost a quarter of a million dollars to their credit— over fifty per cent, more than they were asked to secure— the Red Cross workers made the drive a success and the Local Chapter is to be congratulated. Once more we are able to say, "Again Harrisburg Goes Over the Top!" La Resista Corset The Perfect Reducing Model Reduces the abdomen and hips 3 to 5 inches with per fect comfort. Gives all required support to abdominal organs; preventing any downward sag. A most important feature is the clastic section below the front clasp under reducing tab. This elastic section controls the superfluous flesh of thighs, and is so clev erly arranged that it does so without the least friction or chafing of the flesh. 3'/j and bust. Price, $4.50.

At railroad adminis tration headquarters. It was intimat ed that the total pay increases would amount to more than $300,000,000. In working out the new schedules, Mr. McAdoo and his advisers paid special attention to complaints of thousands of railroad men given raises in the last two years, that on the wage commission's basis, they would get not a cent of increase this year. Clerks and office employes, most of whom are unorganized, prob ably will get substantial increases. Liberal treatment also Is expected for track employes and other low paid laborers.
