jtoin, iuiB amortized at 2 per

paid on interest, it is fair to as
sume that in the Rreat majority
or cases tne borrower will repay
in much less than the maximum
time, say 20 years. It Is also to
De considered that when the ex
service man sells his home or
rami in which he has Invested
me money nor rowed from the
state, the interest rate immedl

cells to some one not originally
manned ior a loan. Further, in
sucn case the loan must be re
duced to 60 per cent of the
amount originally loaned, and
must be entirely paid within five
vears. So in the greater number
of cases the state will likely carry

Against this expense we have

CHICAGO. May 17 ll!y The
Associated Press) The l'tiit-d
States railroad labor board today) Lads Who Served on Mar-
announced its intention of revls-l
Ing downward wages of more
than 1 .ooO.oOO unskilled rail
workers effective July 1. The
amount of the decrease will ""
made public on June 1.
The board also announced that
it would hold hearings June fi re
garding proposals by the roads to
decrease the wages of other clash
es of employes and would also
make its decisions in these cases
effective on the same date. A
similar decision on skilled work
ers would effect approximately
2,000.000 men
Dcrtsb n Net Kie-tel
The announcement which taid
'prevailing conditions justi'y to
some extent yet to be determined,
a readjustment of downward wag
es', was unexpected and came
only a few hours after the c'ose
of the hearings wh eh have been
in progress since early in April.
On Julv 20. 1920. the board in
creased the pay of all classes ot
railway employes approximately
21 per cent or about $00,000,ooo
t year. Several months ago sev
eral roads announced that thy
could no longer operate. undr this
wage award and announced pay
reductions averaging about 20
per cent for unskilled employe.
The workers annealed to the
board which decided that tiro
roads could not make summary
reductions but must first hold
conferences with the'r men and
then, if no agreement could be
reached, submit the case to the
board.
Many Caes Apm-aled
Practicallv every larg road
then held conferences with its un
skilled employes and when the
employes refused to accept cuts,
carried the case to the board.
About 9 cases were thus appeal
ed and the board decided to hear
them as a unit.
The roads pleaded that thoy
were be'ng forced to pay more Tor
labor than they eould employ H
for in the open market, that reduc-j
tion in cost of living justified a
reduction in wages. that thy
were being forced to operate n
many cases at a loss and that they
wished to reduce their rates for
the benefit of the public but could

land boys who served on the

World war have been cited by the
navy department for gallant and
courageous conduct in saving the
lives of f, sailors during a stormy
night off Key West.
The letter from the department

executive officer on the Marble-

praise, said:
"It has recently been brought
to the bureau's attention that.
through some clerical error a
copy of a letter of commendation
which should have been sent you
in December. 1918, did not go
out. The bureau regrets this
omission and forwards herewith
a copy of the letter."
