CITY RAIL WORKERS
GET 5400,000 RISE
Monthly Increase Estimated
for Three Roads.
TOTAL MAY BE $500,000
Oregon-Washington to Pay $2 09,
OOO More; Spokane, Portland
and Seattle $95,000.
More than J400.000 per month will
be the Increase in wages to employes
of the railway lines having headquar
ters in Portland as a result of the
recent award of the adjustment board
at Chicago, according to estimates of
local railroad officials yesterday.
The estimate takes into considera
tion the Oregon-Washington Rail
road & Navigation company, the
Spokane, Portland & Seattle railroad
and the Southern Pacific lines north
of Ashland.
Just what the total increase will
bo was impossible to determine yes
terday, as payrolls have not been
checked over, and there is still some
doubt as to the exact effect the
award will have on some classes of
workers. However, based upon a
percentage increase of the present
monthly payrolls, the estimate by
railroad men for the monthly in
crease was as follows:
OregQn-Wshington line, 1209,000;
Spokane, Portland & Seattle, $95,000;
Southern Pacific north of Ashland,
$120,000; total monthly increase, $424,
000. In addition are a considerable
number of Great Northern and North
ern Pacific employes who will be af
fected, bringing the total increase in
the neighborhood of $500,000 per
month.
While the new schedule is effective
as of May 1. the railway companies
are given a reasonable time in which
to make the back payments, the ad
justment board recognizing the great
amount of additional compilation nec
essary to make up the rolls. It is
expected that back payments will be
made in August, although none of the
railroad officials would make any
iMfinite statements in this regard.
Under the ruling, the companies have
the option of paying, the back pay
ments each month or in lump sums,
and it was considered probable that
the former method would; be chosen.

'BABY HOMES' DISCUSSED
SOCIAL WORKERS AT LXTXCH
EOX GO OX RECORD.
Child Welfare Body Asked to Work
Out Details for Licensing
Institutions.
That some method of standardizing;,
licensing: and . supervising' homes to
which "farmed out" children are sent
in this city be worked out as a pro
tection to the children who are being
taken care of in this way, is the sug
gestion of the Social Workers' asso
ciation of Oregon, as contained In a
resolution passed by the board of
directors at a luncheon meeting yes
terday noon at the Oregon grille.
The action was taken as a direct
outgrowth of the recent Mathus case
which showed that "farmed out" chil
dren did not always receive proper
care, and that something should be
done for the protection of such chil
dren. The discussion was informal,
practically all of the dozen directors
of the organization present being
called upon" for an opinion in the
matter. No conclusion was arrived
at as to how the licensing and su
pervising of such homes should be
done and it was thought best the de
tails in this committee, should be
worked out by the child welfare
commission.
A motioln was presented by A. R.
Gephart and passed, authorizing Dr.
S. C. Kohs, president of the associa
tion, to appoint a committee to make
further Investigations along this line.
The resolution as passed, was as fol
lows: Whereas, Large communities are eon
fronted with the problem of placing chil
dren in private homes as a necessary pro
cedure . In guaranteeing the mental and
physical development of defective, de
pendent or semi-defective ar.d dependent
children; and.
Whereas. Our current nractlcea In the
city of Portland -and in the state of Ore
gon lead to occasional abuses of extreme
character; therefore, be It
Resolved, That the child welfare com
mission be urged to assist in developing
as rapidly as may be convenient In an ef
ficient sylstem of standardizing, licensing
and supervising homes to which above-
mentioned children are sent, and to this
end the Social Workers' association of
Oregon stands prepared at any time to
lend its counsel, and the experience of its
Individual members, that the hlehe.it wel
fare of our children, the future citizens
of our great republic, be fully and ef
ficiently safeguarded.
TRANSPORT FREE TO SAIL
Customs Collector to Grant Clear
ance to Russian Commander.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 26. A. Ben-
klevsky, commander of the Russian
transport Rogday, was advised today
that the collector of the customs will
grant him clearance at any time and
he may depart for any destination he
sees fit. Benklevsky, it is alleged,
seized the vessel here Saturday.
It was held by the collector that in
accordance with a decision of the
United States district court the own
ership of the vessel had been estab
lished in the Kerensky government
but that in view of the overthrow of
that government present ownership
would have to be determined by the
state department. As Benklevsky Is
properly representative of the Ker
ensky government, the regime recog
nized by the United States, his com
mand of the ve'ssel is proper and he
may take it where he sees fit, accord
ing to the collector.
