WAIFS DECLARED ABUSED (Continued From First Pajye.) "WASHINGTON. July 22: To provide an additional revenue necessary to meet the J600,000,000 ' Increase in wages awarded by the railway labor board, the railways of the country proposed today to the interstate com merce commission that passenger rates be advanced 20 per cent and freight rates 9.13 per cent, in addition to the 27.6 per cent previously re Quested. They also proposed that i eurcnarge or so per cent be made on Pullman fares; that excess baggage rates be Increased 20 per cent and that milk tariffs be Increased to the same level as freight rates. Should the full Increases proposed today and those previously asked for be granted, existing freight rates would be advanced 36.9 per cent and the nation's freight bill would be in creased by $1,355,370,675. The total which would be added to the passenger revenue under the rail way executives' plan would be $233, S27.9S3 annually. Pullman charges would go up $43,639,344 a' year; the revenue on milk would be increased IS, 662, 089 and excess baggage charges would be advanced by $1,420,995. The plan advanced by the railroad executives disclosed that they had estimated the wage award at approxi mately $626,000,000 instead of the $600,000,000 figured by the labor board. Alfred P. Thorn, general coun sel of the Association of Railway Executives, explained that the $26, 000,000 additional was figured on the basis of overtime allowances provided In the award. The commission made no comment on receiving the. proposal and did not Indicate whether It would order hear lngs. The total increases from all sources of revenue in each of the three rail way classification territories would correspond to the estimated increase in wages in those territories and would be as follows: Western. $237,281,655; eastern, $318, 729.935. and southern. $69,909,495. In western territory the proposed in creased revenue would be divided as follows: From passenger rates. $92. SS2.599; freight rates, $122. TBI. 208, or 32.03 per cent (total); Pullman fares, $20,231,200; milk hauling; $1,453,558, and from excess baggage charges, $713,090. The executives' proposal was out lined in the following statement: -"The oarriers suggest that the revenues required to meet the wage award be raised in part from passen ger rates accruing from passenger train traffic and by increasing the percentage advances In freight and switching rates already applied for in the following manner: "1 All passenger fares to be In creased 20 per cent with a minimum of not loss than ten cents per trip on any form of ticket. "The foregoing includes standard local or interline fares,- excursion, convention and fares for other special occasions, commutation and other multiple form of ticket, extra fares on limited trains and club car rates. "2 All excess baggage rates to be Increased 20 per cent. "3 Surcharge on sleeping . and parlor cars to be made 50 per cent of the charge for space occupied either in parlor or sleeping cars. '4 Milk Increase all rates, both passenger and freight, sama total percentage applied to freight revenue. "5 Freight and switching revenues to be increased sufficiently to yield the balance of the revenue required to meet the increased operating ex and blue marks on the Romansky child's body and beneath her eyes and -asked the child about it. She said Mrs. Mathus had told her that some boy had jumped into th yard and struck the child with a stick. Mrs. Gladys Romansky, mother of the child, testified that her daugh ter did not have a body discoloration of any kind when she was taken to the Mathus home about six weeks ago. Mrs. Ruth White, whose email boy also was at the Mathus home, said she had visited there and noticed that her boy and the Romansky child both had deep cuts on their lips. Mrs. F. W. Swanton, general man ager for the Oregon Humane society, told of going to the Mathus home and taking the children. She said she had counted 56 black and blue marks on the little girl's body, but had stopped counting at. that point be cause of the great number of. welts. She introduced a photograph showing the condition of the child the day it was taken from the home. She said the child was in a pitiable condition and did not look like the same little girl who was present yesterday In the courtroom. All Charges Denied. Humane Officer Churchill and W. G. McLaren were the only other wit nesses for the prosecution. They testified concerning the bruises and welts on the child's body and head the day she was taken from the Mathus home. A complete denial that she had-ever struck, the Romansky child or any other child entrusted to her care was made by Mrs. Mathus, who appeared as the first witness for the defense. "I gave her the tender, loving care of a mother," she said, and the crowd at point showed its feeling eo plainly that Judge Rossman was compelled to give warning that the courtroom would be cleared if further demon strations were made. "I may have spanked her lightly over her clothes a few times just to show her that she had to mind, but I never injured the child." testified Mrs. Mathus. "I thought a good deal of Edna and often carried her in my arms. Accusations Held False. Then she took up in detail the tes timony which had been offered by witnesses for the prosecution and made a flat and absolute denial of each and every charge made. She insisted the other witnesses were not telling the truth when they testified concerning beatings and kicks she is alleged to have administered. "It was about a week before they tooK tne cniiaren away that I wen to the front door to answer a bell.' she said. "As I stood there talking to a coffee salesman I heard a scream from the backyard. I rushed, out and saw a boy with a gray sweater and tight cap climbing over the fnce, and Edna was lying on the ground in an unconscious condition. "I picked her up and carried her into the house. I applied cold towels and put her in bed. I did not think at the time she had been badly hurt out tne next morning her eyes were swollen nearly shut and I could see several bruises on her shoulders. It looked like this boy had struck her with a stick." "WASHINGTON, July 22. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in a statement tonight discussing the wage award of the railway labor board, declared that while the railway employes are disappointed "it is indicated that they will not strike to enforce a fairer decision of their needs." Mr. Gompers said that the men af fected by the award had a right to be disappointed at the "first teBt of the wage-making side of tho Esch Cummins act." He declared that a "sop has been thrown to each railway worker" and added that "collectively they may feel themselves morally bound to accept it." He announced hi3 opposition to proposed increases in railway rates to care for the wage Increases. Such action, or the levying of taxes to make up deficiencies, would be un necessary, he declared. if railways were operated more efficiently. FIkhivs Declared Awesome. "Much has been said in the press about the estimated aggregate wage increase granted to the railway men of the oountry by the railroad wage board," Mr. Gompers said. "The fig ure, $600,000,000. is large and it sounds imposing and awesome. Most of us have no adequate idea of what so much money means or what it would look like." "An entirely unfair impression gains ground by reason of this bulking of the issue. The honest method of applying the increase is to apply it to the individual. It is estimated that the average wage of a section worker under the award will be $101 a month, or less than $25 a week. The average wage of an engineer will be about $280 a month, or less than $70 a week. These are averages; a great many hundreds of workers in these classi fications will get less than the esti mated average Sop Declared Thrown Kach. "A sop has been thrown to each railway worker under the operation of the Esch-Cummins law. Collec tively they may feel themselves mor ally bound to accept it. but the whole theory of that act, whether as to wages, conditions of employment of he workers or the guaranteed divi dends of the railway companies is an indictment against the Esch-Cum- mins law, of which time will convict the authors. "The railway men are disappointed. and they have a right to be. The first test of the wage making side of the Esch-Cummins act is to them as much of a disappointment as it well could have been. It is indicated that the railway employes will not strike to enforce a fairer considera tion of their Jieeds, but it must not be forgotten that if the award had been so low as to compel consldera tion of other means of redress th men could have struck only at the risk of injuring their own cause. Other Phases Are Viewed. There are other phases of the railway situation equally .serious. The country wants to know how this wage increase is to be met. The prob lem of how to come even this near to an adequate wage is one that is causing all manner of authorities to gasp in amazement and to hunt for a solution. ' This whole clamor and speculation is an evidence of the intellectual bankruptcy - of railway statesman ship amd of railroad operating genius. The whole consideration of the mat ter has thus far brought forth only taxation. We are told that freight rates must be increased to meet the extra cost. If they are not Increased the extra cost must be met by the government. It does not seem to have occurred to either the government or the rail ways that it might be possible to increase railway operating efficiency to a point that would eliminate the extra cost. Condition Held Terrific. I venture to say that It Is possible to so increase the operating efficiency of the railroads as not only to afford a proper wage to the workers, but to allow a proper return to railway investors. "The present condition and the present state of fright over the out look is a terrifio indictment of rail road executive brains. The audacity seems to have gone out of railroading. The fertility of imagination which made American railroads the greatest in the world has been sapped in the money markets. The ideals of achieve ment have been buried under the as piration for stock jobbing. "When the actual operating forces of our railway system were dethroned by the financial powers, railroading lost that vital spark that must re turn to life and virility if the prob lem is to be solved. .."Let operating brains be put to work and the solution of the railway problem will be found. The answer OUSTING OF GOMPERS "URGED Duncan Declares "Cleaner Man" Is Xeeded by Federation. CHICAGO. July 22. Declaration that Seattle labor was opposed ' to Samuel Gompers as president of the American Federation of Labor was made today by James A. Duncan, Se attle strike leader and a witness for the defense in the trial of William Bross Lloyd, millionaire communist, and 19 others charged with plotting to overthrow the government by force. "We are against Samuel Gompers," Duncan testified, "because he organ ized the booze special for labor to go to Washington and protest against prohibition. Seattle Is first, last and all the time for prohibition. We want a better, bigger and cleaner man than Gompers if we can get him." Duncan, whose cross-examination was completed today, also character ized Bullet Wells. ex-Seattle laborlst, who he admitted was an inmate of the Leavenworth penitentiary, as a "fine, clean, high type of citizen." When shown a card used during the general strike at Winnipeg bearing the inscription, "permitted by author ity of the strike committee," Duncan said it was similar to the one used in Seattle, which, he said, bore the word "exempted" instead of "permit ted." He testified that during the first days of the strike the strUe committee organized a war veterans' guard ,to assist the authorities in maintaining order. A. W. Swenson. a Seattle salesman and ex-commissioner of public works of Spokane. Wash., corroborated parts oi Duncans testimony.

July 22- Shamrock IV, challenger for the America's cup, will enter tomorrow's race against Resolute, American de fender, with a new topmast and a new topsail, the regatta committee of the New York Yacht club an nounced tonight. After Shamrock's skipper had noti fied the committee of this change, he requested a remeasurement of her sail area, but the official measurer was unable to reach the yacht's moorings in time to do the work tonight. The committee announced however that tomorrow's race would be run on the basis of a time of six minutes and 40 seconds for Resolute, subject to any change that may result from remeasurement of Shamrocks top sail. This was the original allowance, but t was later increased to seven min utes and one second when Shamrock put in and used a larger, club topsail. Shamrock's canvas will be re-meas ured after the race tomorrow and if the contest Is at all close the winner may not be known until several hours after the finish. Tho special weather forecast for to morrow was announced by tne weather bureau in New York late tonight-as follows: "Partly cloudy, possibly somewhat unsettled with gentle winds, most southerly." Shamrock IV slipped out or dryaocK tonight. Meanwhile the crew of Resolute, American defender, made things ship shape aboard their craft and also are prepared to give battle. With the tally now standing 2 to 1 in favor of the challenger, the Amerl can sloop must win tho next contest if the hundred guinea cup. Invaluable trophy, is not to travel back over seas iu custody of tho Royal Ulster Yacht club. Shamrock arrived at a Staten Island shipyard early today under tow and at once was put on the ways in order that her under-body might be scraped. It was the belief of her crew that she had collected oil on her sleek sides since she had left drydock about a week ago, but when she slid back into the water this afternoon this fear was pronounced groundless. Not a barnacle and scarcely a streak of oil had been found. While Captain Charles Francis Adams II did not order Reso- Do Your Shopping at This Store Before 1 P. M.
