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

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

It was admitted at the Staten

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

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.

THE
CHENEY
Jj
The voice of the
Cheney is like
the song of birds
clear, . serene,
satisfying.
The natural and
human-like qual
ity of the Cheney
tone is due to
the fact that in
the Cheney are
embodied the old
well known prin
ciples of pipe organ and violin con
struction. Prof. Cheney, the musician,
has built an instrument free
from the scratch and grind
which -has been so objec
tionable in the ordinary
phonograph.

Every Offering TJnderpriced for Our
1028th Bargain Friday
Our special selling; events are founded upon past traditions. Conspicu
ous reductions are the result of holding; to an unselfish store policy that
of forcing out certain goods before their wear-time expires. Any number of
these articles could be sold for higher prices, but it would be a violation
of old-time customs practiced here. We regret that some of the most de
sirable things are limited in quantity In many instances this is true, but
under the circumstances we can do no more than give uncolored publicity
to the values, with the hope that people will come for them in time to
share fairly. In every instance the early comer naturally will fare first.
