Chicago.—Six hundred million dol­
lars was added to the pay envelope of
.he nutlon’s 2.000.000 railroad workers
In the first award handed down by the
aew United State« railway labor board.
Rejecting the demands of the organ­
ised rail unions for Increases totaling
approximately
11,000,000,000,
th e
L.grd decided approximately 60 per
cent of that sum would he a Just In­
crease to meet present living condl-
tlous,
An 18 per cent Increase In freight
rates will be necessary to m eet the
21 per cent average wage a w y d grant­
ed railroad em ployes. E. T. Whiter,
representative o f the roads in the hear­
ings before the railway labou, board,
announced.
The railroads plan, It Is said, to file
new tariffs with the Interstate com
merce com m ission as soon as they can
be prepared.
W hether the award will stave off
the threat of a general railroad strike
remains to be seen. The leaders of
virtually all of the sixteen big railroad
unions were present when Judge R.
Barton, chairman of the board,
handed down the decision.
The board’s decision is retroactive
to May 1. As the maximum increase
granted any class was 18 cents an
hour, or >36.72 a month, the biggest
pay check due when the back pay set­
tlem ent Is made August 1 will be for
>ll0.16. Engineers, firemen and help­
ers In the yard service will receive
this amount.

field gun at the Camp Lew is artillery
range, which killed three men and
painfully wounded five other members
of the Oregon c o a sf artillery, national
guard, will be made. The Investiga­
tion thus far shows that only a poor
fuse, a possible flaw In the gun ttseYf,
or a flaw In thb shell coaid hdv«
caused the fatal accident.'
Governor Ben W. Olcott, of Oregon,
rfarrowly missed being Injured In the
tragedy. Accompanied by Mrs. Olcott
and several Camp Lewis officers, the
governor had left the gun but a few
minutes before the explosion.
The dead were:
Corporal Edward G. Scott, 2d com ­
pany, Oregon coast artillery, Marsh­
field, Or.; Corporal Clydd R. Dundln- ÒI
ger, 2d company, Oregcm coast artil­
lery, Marshfield, Or.; Private Ralph
Ffaley. 1st company, Oregon coast ar­
tillery. Ashland, Or. Scott and Fraley
were killed Instantly. Dundinger lived
an hour.
The Injured were:
Private (first class) Herbert E. Pe­
tersen, 2d company, ^regon coast ar­
tillery. Marshfield, Or., cut on head
and face by steel fragments; Private
William J. Blake, 2d company, Oregon

The rifle was of the 155 millimeter
long range field type used by the
French, but was manufactured In the
Unite« States. It had been flrsd only
14 times. Thirteen shots were fired
last week in trying it out. The 14th
shot was fired immediately before the
tragedy in the presence of the gover­
nor, adjutant general and party.

Put today’s Prosperity into Inch Needed Holdings
Manager W. K. Johnson of the Tum-A-Lum Lum ­
ber Company Moro office states he is now working on list
num ber 12 which is tiie third and latest decline in lum ber
prices this yeer.
He further says mudli building is being
talked of this year, but th at shortage of cars and workmen
may delay fall building u n til bad weather unless early
action is taken and building plans are not left till the last
m inute as is usually the case.
•
Local carpenters and contractors are now already
busy and in m any cases have m uch work ahead.
Alipost
certain advances in lum ber prices and scarcity of labor
will make the “last m inute” builder wish he had planned
and started earlier.
