Re- duction. 28.--The United Chicago, ' June tended its wage reduction order ef- fective July 1st, to nearly every large railroad in the United States. No change from the average twelve per cent. reduction granted 104 carriers on June 1st was made by yesterday's decision. The board's order yesterday covered 210 roads. The reduction order involved nearly all classes of employees on virtually every railroad known as a class one carrier, not included in the board's original relluction order. The class one group includes every big road in the United States. The only change in the rates of reduction made by yesterday's deci- sion was in the case of some marine workers. About one-half of the roads in- cluded in yesterday's decision were parties to the original decision, the duplication resulting from the fact that many roads did not include all classes of employees in their peti- tion for a wage cut. All classes of employees have now been named in the submission of some of the roads. The wage cut, however, applies only to those employees of a given road which were named in that road's submission. Rates of reduction for several minor classes of employees were added to the order yesterday, which was issued as an addendum to the original wage reduction order. Chefs and other restaurant workers, din- ing car employees, laundry work- ers and porters were named in add- ed sections of the decision. Reduc- tions of sixty per cent. of the in- creases granted such employees since February 29th, 1920, were di- rected for these employees.

The black museum was formerly {one of the sights of London, and many famous people, ~ including crowned heads, have inspected its | grim exhibits, Plaster casts of murderers' heads |adorned ome of its walls, and the | ropes which ended the careers of | celebrated criminals dangled from the ceiling. The actual bath in {which Brides in the Bath Smith drowned his last victim occupied a prominent place in one corner of the room. The exhibit which usually at- j tracted the greatest interest, how- ever, is a message on a pestcard at- {tributed to Jack the Ripper and re- ceived by the commissioner of po- lice. It runs: "Look out for a double event to-night. Yours truly, Jack the Ripper." Only a few hours after the postcard reached Scotland Yard the bodies of two women, ter- ribly mutilated, were found in | Whitechapel. { The black museum is not main- | tained to satisfy the morbid curiosity {of idlers. Special permission has to be obtained to inspect the grim relics. It serves the useful purpose of instructing young members of the C.I'D. in the science of crime detec- |tion and lectures are frequently giv- en within its walls. Held Wine Carousal And Men May Die Niagara Falls, June 28. --Fifty men, engaged in the construction of the hydro development scheme, last night indulged in a carousal on some wine which they procured, and a number of them are in a serious condition, with several at the point of death.

Convictions were registered in twen- ty-four cases. Nineteen men were fined $100 each, and most of then being unable to pay were removed to Welland jail. Fair Grounds Problem Settled at Brockville The names of a number of women appear on the extra panel which has been called to appear before Judge Maurice Bernon of the court of com- mon pleas to-day, to be examined as to their qualifications for jurors in this case--this trial of a crime which the prosecution claims is a wo- man's crime in all but the execution. "The plotters in the crime were {women and it was not until the time was ripe for actual murder that the {men were called into the plot," says | Edward C. Stanton, public prose- cutor. "And the $5,000 which was | promised them for the slaying was not paid. The actual assassins were 'double crossed.' " Dies From His Injuries. Cobourg, June 28. -- Edwin F. | Jones, who met with serious injuries | by' falling from a C.P.R. pumper a | fortnight ago, passed away Friday at Brockville, June 28.--As the re- ult of a conference held between tie town council and the directors of the Brockville fair association, two pro- positions assented to by the formor body with reference to the disposal of the grounds will be placed befors the board of the fair association for decision.
