WAGE DECISION SURPRISE TO FOLK IN CAPITAL ____ 4 Washington, Aug. 26.?There is J no denying the fact that although the ? views of Director General Hines I against any general increases in rail- < road wages were fairly well known, < the national capitol was somewhat taken aback by President Wilson's t firm stand against wage increases at this time. 1 Again and again, as the Wilsonj administration has developed its po- i licies in the last six years, has there 1 been such a noticeable friendliness to labor than many a member of con- 1 gress took it for granted that all the J railroad men had to do to get in-j creases in wages was to ask for it. I Those who haven't followed very closely the opportunist policies of the president were therefore surprised. But, on the other hand, the t logic of the situation called for a de- ? rvf fV?A \r i r> A TMQ/la VOOfor/lflV I t UiaiatlUU U1 111U XilllU 4UWWV JVWW4V>MJ^| because the president made it very J t clear in his address to congress on the ' high cost of living, that the situation t could not be met by increases in wa- i ges without starting another cycle a of costs. It was not a flat turndown, o however, for the director general of r railroads recommended that he wag- r es of shopmen be equalized. In somejr cases this means an increase of four cents an hour, in others as c much as nine cents; and further- ii more, the railroad administration! n anounced today that all classes of p railroad employes other than shop- k ment, who feel that they have a just a ' claim for equalization should present G such claims. Men employed in main- si . tenance of ways, for instance, are thought to have a just grievance. m But any general increases based h upon the high cost of living will noti m be granted for the simple reason that J p the administration hopes to reduce 01 that cost. Furthermore, it wants to w . put an end to the calculation which pi would introduce as a permanent thing to in American economic life those ti scales of costs which were operative in during the war as a result either of 01 emergency construction ot world d< shortages produced by war needs. , is Just as the government believes cc r the high profits enjoyed by manufac- th turers of foodstuffs, clothing and tr other commodities involved in the high cost of living should go down, it believes that wages should not be increased to raise the costs to manufacturers. be m ??

The i mendment provides that the old erman rights in Shantung province \ Hall go to China in place of Japan*. "Why did the majority of this com- I littee pause in the midst of their I earings to make this particular a- v iendment" he continued, "and then roceed with the usual leisure to Lay ^ at dates for further hearings which ill consume a week or so more?
