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.
The decision last July affected ap
proximately 2,000,000 men and grant
ed increases totalling nearly $(100,000,-
000 a year.

International Y. M. C. A. Secy.
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. .

peoples. 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

with the firm resolve that government
by the people should not perish from

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.
