the house had been ransacked during
their absence, and a new saxophone,
aja valuable banjo, family, heirloom
Jewelry, clothing, hand bags and the

raiment the guesta had brought for
their short stay. The total value of
the stolen stuff was estimated at

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-

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.
