wages increased
by labor board
Chicago, August 10.?The United
States Railway Labor Board today
handed down a decision increasing
wages of the employees of the American
Railway Express Co., $30,000,000
yearly.
Eighty thousand men not provided ,
for by the recent $600,000,000 railway ,
wage award, are affected. i
The award is retroactive to May 1,
1920. The wage increase amounting
to 16 cents an hour, will give messengers
and other train service employes
an increase of $38.40 a month.
All other employees will receive an increase
of $32.64.
Train service employees work on a
240 hour month basis while all other
employees work on a 204 hour basis.
Chicago, August kp.?Thirty million
dollars was added today to the nations
express bill. The United States
Railway Labor Board awarded to the
80,000 employees of the American
Railway Express Co., an increase of
16 cents an hour. The decision is retroactive
to May 1, 1920.
Under the terms of the Esch-Cummings
transportation act, the express
company will be permitted to raise its
rates sufficiently to meet the increased \
labor cost. Arguments in the rate
case have already been presented before
the I. C. C. at Washington.
Today's award does not go into the
question of rules and working conditions.
As wes the case last month,
when the board granted a $600,000,- 1
000 increase to railway employees, it
was announced that a decision covering
new working rules would be handed
down later.
The express decision applied to all 1
express employees save 2,500 shop- ]
men who were given an increase of 13 1
cents an hour in the railway award
last month . The award to express |
men is slightly better than the average j
increase to the railroad men, the 1
board finding that express employees. <
i as a class were not so well paid as '
men in other lines of railroad work. J

present to have proceeded with th<

a definite program of work, but it
was thought that it would be more ir
line with the Democratic spirit ir
which the board is being reorganized
to defer these important matters until
a later date when more full representation
could be had, therefore,
the board agreed to reconvene on September
10th.
After the preliminary organization
had been effected there was a general
roundtable discussion by the members.
From the discussions it is
evident that the marketing of food
:rops, the development of forage
;rops, grasses and grains, the improvement
of the highways, the
lengthening of the educational system
of the State are very important
juestions which must be dealt with
iuring the'next year.
The consensus of opinion was that
t would be unwise just now to defintely
outline activities for the year.
\t the later meeting there is to be a

TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF UNION COUNTY
%
I have been asked to take charge cf
of the campaign in this County, to
raise funds for the National Democratic
party. This campaign is based
on the idea that every Democrat is
. willing to give at least one dollar for
3 the cause, but your contribution is not
3 limited to that. The committee will be
t glad to receive whatever amount you
* are willing to contribute, but confidently
expects that every Democrat
f will give at least a dollar.
There are strong hopes for the suc.
cess of the National Democratic ticket,
i but a campaign cannot be conducted
without funds. Money will be poured
" into the Republican chests without
t stint or limit. The wealth of the
_ North is at the service of that party,
i. That they mean to win the election, if
* money can accomplish it, is shown by
! the fact that millions of dollars were
" spent in the recent efforts of a cer\
tain candidate, merely to secure the
presidential nomination. All the Ref
publicans need do, is to state the
3 amount they need, and the men of
. vast wealth, who affilliate with that
t party, will hand it out.
1 The Democrats are dependent upon
] the people of the nation, and not upon
j the money powers. They have no millionaires
to supply them with funds,
i It is up to us, thfe plain people of the
J country, and largely the Southern peo
pie, o see that this campaign is fur'
nished with funds sufficient to carry
| the message of Democracy into the
, home of every voter in the land. A
recent statement in the newspapers
l gave statistices to show that with the
i exception of the campaign of 1916,
' that party was successful which Ttad
the most money at its command.
It is not intended to use money for
! corrupt purposes. We leave that to
the Republicans. But there are many
i expenses to be met, perfectly legiti'
mate expenses, such as printing,
postage, payment of clerks, expenses
of speakers, and the like, which re|
quire large expenditures. If you
realize what the success of the Republican
party means, particularly with
reference to the appointment of negro
office holders in the South, I feel
sure that every Democrat in Union
County will be ready and eager to contribute
according to his means in order
to aid in the defeat of such a policy.
I am asking, therefore, that in every
community one or more men or women
take up the work of collecting at least
a dollar from everyone who is willing
to give to this high cause. Please do
not wait for the appointment of comi
mittecs. Any and every volunteer in
this service will be gladly received.
What I beg is, that each one who reads
, this appeal will appoint himself or
herself a committee of one, visit your
[ neighbors and friends and carry,the
appeal to him. And, to every Democrat,
let me* say that you can send
your dollar or more direct to me, or
deposit it in your nearest bank to my
credit, having the bank notify me to
that effect . Millions of dollars' are
needed. With sufficient money we can
and will carry the election. Will you
not contribute one of these dollars?
I am confident that you will. Please
act promptly and liberally.
