The plan presented by the railroad execu* ires disclosed .that they have estir. nted the wage, award at approximately $<>2!i.CO0,oi}0, instead of the $600,000,000 figured by tire laoor board. 'Alfred P. . Thorn, general counsel of the association of railway executives, explained that the $26,000,000 additional was figured on the basis of overtime allowances provided in the award. The proposal of the executives was submitted to the commission by JVlr. Thorn after a conference with its members. It had been worked out at a series of conferences of railroad officials here since the announcement of the wage award by the labor bca.d at Chicago last Tuesday. The commission' made no 4>mment re* - - ? j?j i ganiing the proposal ana o.m uul indicate whether it would order hearings. Hearings on the billion dollarfreight rate increase case were con, eluded two weeks ago and general ex~\ ::aticr. has been that the 'com-; mission v.ould grant a single increase! to cover both that and the added ex-; penses resulting from the wage ad ' vances so as to permit the filing of, the new tariffs before the govern ment guarantee to the railroads ex-; P'>es on September 1. under the: terms of the transportation act. 1 Submission of Schedule.

I. a? one of them, car, testify to my belief that if Theodore Roosevelt were alive would scourge the combination of profiteers and politicians who now 50 brazenly link his memory wun their nefarious effort to turn "this republic over to a soviet of Wall street bankers. ""Senator Harding's address is an enlightening exhibition of the high i r>nd manly art of shadow boxing, i The league of nations is dead, yet he lunees at its ghost and shouts to the onlooker, 'Its alive. It's ,a alive, I teli you, it's alive.' . "Only Pontius Palmer," Mr. I Christenscn said, "foresaw a red conflagratidn" \vith vision equal tc that i of Senator Harding. He went on: i "As to the vital issues before the ! people, issues involving their deliverance from economic bondage' and j political servility, tl}e senator from O.hio pours forth a sea cf words signifying nothing. He, who but 3 few years ago sullenly said th? working man should be satisfied with $1 a day and the farmer contented with $1 41 bushel for wheat, has become so progressive as a candidate for the presidency as to admit labor is entitled to better wage than that, but adds thai 'labor must give its full measure ~ * i-i 4.u:~ ot service ior nign wages u ui;s country is going to avoid industrial ar.d economic chaol' "That is a contemptible insult to the sincerity of the American worker and a groveling guarantee to big business that it has nothing to fear from Harding, if he is elected. Senator Harding knows and so does every other member of the senate, .for they have all been presented with the impartial profits and w&ges report prepared by W. Jett Lauck, former secretary, of the national war labor board, that the ratio of profits in prices has increased from 100 to 200 per cent, as a result of war time corporate profiteering and that the ratio of wages in prices has decreased both by nearly the same percentage and that the dissinated purchasing power of the average dollar makes this economic condition worse .than it was before the war. "If this country is to* suffer industrial and economic- ruin it will be because the people have been deceived once more into surrendering control over their lives and their rights'to the financial pirates." ' 1 J ^ ~ i. ;\ir. t;nnsiensen cnarj^u uiau senator Harding and the Democratic nominee, Governor Cox. represented those that he designate,! as ''financial pirates."' He declared Senator Harding's address convinced him that the Ohian was dominated by the "will of organized capital/' That if he is elected economic chaos and a nation of "so-^T) kitchens'' would be inevitable. "Senator Harding talks much and says nothinsr," continued the Farmer-Labor candidate. "There >s not a red blooded American sen tence in his address." 0 WHALEY DECIDES TO WITHDRAW Advised by Physician Not to Make Active Personal Canvass of District. News and Courier.
