RAILROAD PAY One of the most gratifying results of federal railroad operation has been the redaction of Inequalities in! pay.' .. The process began with the granting of higher wages to what; might e called the middle class em ployes, the -"aristocracy of labor" represented by the railroad unions. fit aooa became evident that there was much greater Injustice in the ( ease of hundreds of thousands of un ! organised laborer, clerks and other i employe. While the trainmen' were getting 1 11,000 to 15,000 a year, there were ; 1,509,K00 men and women getting less than 995 per month, and thons- ands of them less than $50 a month, X It waa the obvious' thing to raise ineir pay, as me administration nas ( Tecenuy aone. I It was no less. an obvious thing, though "contrary to usual corporate practice, to go to the other end of the scale and lower the pay of the i highest-salaried employes. Man agers of lines were getting, in nam erous cases, 150,000 to $100,000 I year. Those salaries may have been I earned, according to the ' accepted I standards of big business; but in a i system operating under public con1 5 troi, and particularly In a system j where the director-general only Te- celved $12,000 a year, it seemed lm possible to Justify them. . Some millions have therefore been lopped off the salaries of managers to help swell the pay of the hnmMe wage-worker. It Is a practical appll cation of democracy that meets with public approval. The Austrian aham "peace move" should be considered a "mere scrsp of paper" by the entente allies. KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY cjvautt ran .t .

Stato Oxford ho st COMPENSATION The philosophic automobile owner east of the Mississippi -may reflect that there are sundry compensations for the deprivation of Sunday riding. For example: He won't be oVIg ed to tinker around an M-MnelUns garage, filling grease cups and screwing up nuts. He won't have to take anybody's dust. His engine wont stall 'steen miles from home. He won't have to lie on his back un der the car for hours, In a iud(lr road. No tires will blow out, no battery go dead.' He won t iavp to appear in police court on Momlay, for speeding.

Just then 1 saw Cap tain li and Lieutenant H go after one each, and one spun in names while the other's wing fell off. Then my engine stopped altogeth er and the Huns came after me In twoa. , I dove vertical a second, then pulled into a loop without power and pitched Into a vertical aide slip at the top and there, directly under me was a plane with a drooping wing In fantastical spin. I then went for the four remaining enemy airplanes and the leader waa the first I saw He pulled a wonderful wing over at me, but I got bis Idea lirsi ana we met. It was head-on and I fired mv last 30 rounds and pulled up with bullets going by me like hall Then I looked and there was me lead p divine on his back, and he was hanging half out of bis machine. He was evidently, himself bit. The others reported that he hung as If dead. "I turned, desperate, with no more shots, and saw my companion's com ing after the three enemy aircrau. who were making off in wide circles, and the other two Huns -were Just in oleht. The French bomber was crossing the lines safely. "Three of us had been attacked by 12 planes and had shot four into flames, and two completely out of control, and we Including our bomber were still there. "Odds 12 enemy aircraft to three allies. "Score Seven Huns down; allies, none down." Forty head of mules are on the Job and another 40 are on the way. About fifteen men are In the camp mostly Mexicans, and men are coming In nearly every day. The need of men Is the principal worry; the work could go ahead consider ably faster If all the men needed could be secured. The first half mile of the canal Is now ready for water. Another thous and feet Is broken and by the end of the coming week considerably' over a mile of the works will be complet ed. Carter and Kramer are expecting to complete four miles of the ditch per month, while the devertlng works Is being completed.
