I collective bargaining, higher wages,
1 shorter hours and better working
conditions." the appeal says, "it
therefore becomes our duty to sup
port the committee's claim, in ac

work in the mills on and after Sep

; a statement issued yesterday, de
nies there has been any dhange in

Five R. R. Administration Of
ficials Get Salaries of
$50,000 Each
Washington, Sept. 12.—Seventy
two officials of the Railroad admin
istration described as "men of the
staff of the Director General" arc
receiving annual salaries aggregat
ing $1,395,000, according to an ex
tension of remarks in the Congres
sional Record by Representative
Thompson, Republican, Ohio, who
charged that other government
agencies "seem to have utter dis
regard for economical expenditure
of public funds." .
Railroad administration officials
receiving the big salaries were given
by Mr. Thompson as follows:
Five ut $50,000 each, two at $40,-
000. three at $35,000, two at $30,000,
eight at $25,000, eleven at $20,000,
one at $18,500. one at SIB,OOO, one
at $17,500, sixt at $15,000, one at
$14,000, one at $13,200, one at $12,-
500, four at $12,000, one at $lO,-
800, one at $10,600 and twenty-threo
at SIO,OOO.
Railroad administration officials
were described by Representative
Thompson as "princes who sit in
upholstered furniture and swivel
chairs amidst luxurious surround
ings, living as tax eaters."
Meanwhile post office employes,
he declared, have not been paid •
living though "the entire gov
ernment reeks with extravagance."
Mr. Thompson enumerated salar
ies from $4,000 to $7,000 a year
paid by the Housing Bureau, organ
ized with the understanding that it
would be discontinued automatically
at the end of the war. Salary in
creases, however, have been made to
several employes, he said, since the
signing of the armistice. One ad
vance from $6,000 to SIO,OOO, result
ed in "such a dust being kicked up
about it that I think the employe
has been let out."
"As fast as Congress endeavors
to put on the brakes," said he, "the
bureaus of the administration de
vise ways and means to create de
ficiencies and perpetuate its ariny
of political grafters."

struction of its eight million illite
rates in the English language is a

ERROR IN COMMISSION
Washington, Sept. 12. —Somebody
made a mistake in General Persh
ing's now commission. Chairman
Kahn, of the Military Affairs Com
mittee. told the House, which might
cost the General some of the pay
and allowances carried with the new
title.
While Congress made him a "Gen
eral of the Armies of the United
States," the War Department made
him a "General in the Regular
Army."
The experts are now looking for a
way to unwind the tangle and still
leave it technically correct.
GETTING A LINE ON HIM
Mrs. Styles—l have been down to
see the doctor.
Mr. Styles—And he asked to see
your tongue?
"No. he didn't."
"Well, he asked if you had cold
feet?"
"No. he didn't."
"Well, then, he asked if you had
pains in your back and head?"
"No. he didn't."
"Well, what in thunder then, did
he ask you?"
"He wanted to know what your
income was."—Yonkers Statesman.

mass of requiem was celebrated here j

to a waiting hearse, and as the latter '
moved towards St. Peter's Cathedral!
they fell in line behind. One hun-i
dred men marched before the hearse, I
while a special guard of honor com- !

tilled with floral offerings which had I
accompanied the body followed im
mediately behind the hearse and '
then came thousands of mine work- i
ers. At the cathedral all bared their i
heads again as the casket was borne |
inside and then entered the church!

end my miserab'e existence without
