Unexpected Decision Comes From Official Body Expect Reductions to Extend to All Classes R. R. Labor Effec tive July 1st. ' CHICAGO, May IS. The general reduction of wages for unskilled rail road employes effective July 1 fore cast by the railroad labor board last night, will be made the basis of reduc tions extending to all classes of rail road labor, it was understood today. Although only the Chicago Great Western, the Chicago and Alton and a few other-roads have requested that the wage reductions be extended to all classes, provision was made by the board in Its announcement for the fil ing of other petitions tip to June 6 and it is believed that others of the 180 class A roads will amend their applica tions io include shop, train service and other classes of employes. The new applications filed up to June 6, the board's announcement said, will be de cided to take effect also July 1. No intimation was given In the board's announcement, as to the prob- ible extent of the cut. Last July the board increased wages of unskilled labor and some other classes 20 per cent, making it retroactive to May 1, 1920. "The general effect of the decision will bo to retard track work," said S. M. Keiton, president of the Chicago Great Western. Disappointment was expressed by various railroad execu tives that Ilie cut was to be delayed until July 1 as by that time. It was said, tlie heaviest part of track reha bilitation work is general completed.

After Visit to Orient Declares Finish Fight Would End in Japan's Destruction War, However, Unthinkable Japan Eager for Peace. CHICAGO, May IS. A fight to finish between tne United States anil Japan would result in Japan being "uijied off the map," George Glcason, international Y. ill. C. A. secretary who lias just returned from a Irlp through the Orient, declared today in addressing the International Disarm anient Congress here. Mr. Glcason declared, however, thai "only those living in the kindergarten of international affairs could picture the possibility of war between this country and Japan," and that combin ing all the friction growing out of the Yap, Korea, China and California ques tions would not furnish the remotest cause for war. "Even if there were a cause," he continued, "a real fight to a finish be tween the two nations would put Japan off the map. The Island empire might capture the Philippines, Hawaii or event a part of our west coast, but when the mighty resources and tech nical skill of this vast continent were once mobilized, .Japan, unable to draw on bankrupt Europe would be literally starved to her knees. "The Japanese themselves know It and none better than the army men. "Japan's Monroe doctrine for Asia. though often criticised, should meet with American appcusal. When the smoke of war lias cleared away and the world's nerves become relaxed, we can see that Japan's policy for Asia is the same as ourvstnnd for the open door of equal opprtiwily. 'Furthermore Japan is ready to fol low America's leadership if she has proof that it is unselfish and just. Had the American government continued its announced policies of world service Japan woujd be following us still." C1UCAO, May IS. Yap was used ny me secretary ot state as an excuse to tret back into the council of nations in tho opinion of Karl ,S. Parlier, an instructor in tho Los Angeles hlRh .schools and nlxo svrretary at the American league of peace. Mr. Parker pleaded for a better umlcr.stamlintr of tne Japanese oiics tion lit California, awwrtlntr that the Japanese were lawabldlnsr people, anxbAis to hvrovne Amvrtrans so fat as Anterira would allow them. "Amrrira has denied the Japanese citizenship and should not object to his natural nllelanco of Japan and hts desire to traWt his, own language to his children," iwitiniii'd Mr. Par ker. "Someone hns said that -whan an alien learns to oral! at tho umpire nt a baseball game he has become Amerlcanitsed. I have seen the Japa nese nt baseball and football framed, and I think be Is pretty well Ameri canized," he declared. He held no brief fur Japan, mid .Mr. Parker, in emcluslin, but he be lieved that America should Jude the Japanese by a different standard thai" that ot the past. A war between Japan and the United States would tear down much of civilization, he be lieved. .

In that dark hour, when the; veteran troops of France and Great Britain were unable to siay the merei-i tons onslaught of the victorious hosts of Imperialism,, and the innermost walls of civilization seemed hopelessly breeched, these young men In the very morning of life, went Into lhal breech with the firm resolve that government by the people should not perish from ihe eafih. There on those historic fields, they fearlessly met Ihe great adventure, and laid the last full mea sure of devotion o the altar of their country. Their sacrifice has not been in vain, and because of Ibeir payment In blood and treasure, we today are enjoying the great blessings of peace and liberty.
