Higher Wages, Rather Than Cut Urged Upon Labor Board By B. M. Jewell of Shop Crafts Union Claims Lfving" Wage Not Paid. CHICAGO. Mar. 28. The 'business concern which cannot'meet iU fixed charges is bankrupt; failure to provide a healthy standard of living for his family a working man's fixed charge means eventual physical aud moral bankruptcy to the nation. This was the axiom on which B. M. Jewell, president of the shop crafts unions based his plea for a living wage for the nation's rail workers today before the Cnlted States railroad labor board. Figures comparing railroad em ployes' expenditures for food with minimum requirements for bare sub sistence as worked out by Professor M. E. Jaffa, food specialist of the Uni versity of California, showed that rail road mechanics in 1921 were able to I purchase but 64 per cent of the meat, fish, milk and eggs necessary for maintenance of their families at the lowest level of safety, Mr. Jewell said. Higher wages rather than a further cut were urged on the board by Mr. Jewell in his fight against the ten per cent slash proposed by 205 roads now before tho board. Wages, he asserted were "the life blood of the nation, and reduction of wages means reduction of nourishment to the bodies of citizens." 'The railroad industry does not to day pay a living wage to tho mechan ics employed in Its shops" said Mr. Jewell. "We have measured the aver age monthly earnings of men in the railroad shops by every possible stan dard and in every instance they are found wanting. "Tho purchasing power of railroad families was demonstrated by the analysis of 254 items. They are dis tributed over the country but in no sense selected. The statements in clude careful records of food and quan tities bought. "Tho average income ot these fam ilies amounted to $1,935.50 of which $140 came from other than railroad wages, being usually secured from ooaruers. The average expenditure was si.9!9.b4. The income from the lauroau mug snort oy nearly iuoo a year of the actual amount which these families spent." With prices prevailing during the year or ls.'i, mechanics in railroad shops were able to purchase about 64 per cent of the meat, fish, milk and eggs necessary to maintain their act- (Continued on page eight) ASKS RAISE.

IEX RICKARD 8TAOFIRE Fight Promoter's Claim He Was at Dartmouth-Penn. Game Brings Admission He Doesn't Know How Many Men On Football Team Admits Promotion Schemes- NEW YORK, Mar. 28. Evidence in the Rickard trial was all In at noon to day. Supreme Justice Wasservogpl 'told the Jury he hoped to give them the case late today after both side had summed up. j The state In its efforts to prove thnt Rickard had assaulted IS year old Sarah 8choenfeld, called one witnesc in rebuttal Detective McGanna. who arrested the sport promoter last Janu ary. The defense took several exeep; tions. The defense Indicated it was thru when cross-examination of Rickard ended. The first touch of levity that has marked the trial came while the defendant was being cross-examined regarding his alibi that he was at the Dartmouth-Pennsylvania football game at the Polo grounds on November 12 at the time when he was supposed to have met Sarah Schocnfeld. The sports promoter admitted that he was so little acquainted with foot ball that be did not know the number of players on a team. He testified that the Dartmouth-Pennsylvania en counter was the first and only game of football he bad ever seen and that he went to the Polo grounds to get the air. - . - When the cross-examination shifted to Rickard's business enterprises he admitted he had promoted a number of oil and mining companies that never had paid any dividends. He also testified to having tried to sell stock in the South American Land and Cattle company, an organization which he said bad met with little success. ST. SETS ON LIMITED CHICAGO, March 28.

The American Shipbuilding company at Its annual meeting today declared an extra dividend of 20 per cent.
