Latter Lose Lives While Trying to Hescus Workers Overcome by , Gas and Electricity. llirtwaukee, May 26.--Three city firemen and two tunnel workers were killed by gas and electricity at the bottom of a 52-foot shaft in the intercepting sewer system at National and Twentieth avenues.

Interstate Commerce Body Orders Reduction Averaging < ^|bout 10 Per Cen$» rv ARE EFFECTIVE ON JULY 1 Commission Holds Nation's Railroads Are Entitled to Earn 5K Per Centr on the Value of Their Property Instead of 8 Per Cent. • Washington, May 26.--Reduction 10 freight rates averaging about 10 per cent was ordered by the interstate commerce commission in a decision resulting from its inquiry into the general rate strutfture of the nation. The cut in rates was fixed by the commission at 14 per cent in eastern territory; 13*4 per cent in western territory, and per cent in southern and Mountain-PKCIAC territories. All reductions ordered are effective July 1 and constitute a greater crut than was generally expected. The seeming discrepancy In the rail rate cuts is due to the fact that the new rates do not cover all articles; the new average, however, will be 10 per cent lower. The commission in ordering the decreases-- which are on a horizontal basis--held that the nation's railroads are entitled to earn 5% per cent on the value of their property rather than the approximate 6 per cent fixed as a reasonable return under tbc transportation act of 1020. Transportation charges on passenger and Pullman travel were left unaffected by this decision. Agricultural products will not b« affected by the reduction granted under the commissioner's order. The reduction of 10% per cent made In the western hay and grain rates last fall and the voluntary 10 per cent cu1 made In all agricultural products by railroads January 1 will be substituted for the decision on these commodities The order of the commission fixing the new level of rates defined the percentage of reduction as follows: "In the eastern group, also between points In Illinois territory and between Illinois territory and the eastern group, 26 per cent Instead of the 40 per cent authorized In the decisloni last cited (the rate Increases of 1920). "In the western group and between the western group and Illinois territory 21.5 per cent Instead of the 85 per cent so authorized. In the southern and Mountain- Pacific groups, 12.5 per cent Instead of the 25 per cent so authorised. On inter-terrltorial traffic except as otherwise provided herein 20 per cent instead of the 33 1-3 per cent so authorized." Blast Kills Man.

Decreases Decreed by the Railroad Labor Board Are F'rom One' te Five Cents an Hour, > Effective July 1. Chicago, May 80.--Wages of 400,000 maintenance of way railway employees are cut from 1 to 5 cents an hour, beginning July 1, according to a decision announced by the railroad labor boari. The slash will mean an annual saving of approximately $48,- 000,000 on pay rolls. The decision means a return to practically the same scale as that prevailing February 29, 1920, when the roads were turned back to their owners, and Is considered indicative of the size of cuts that will be made in the scale of workers In other departments. A dissenting opinion Is filed by three labor members of the board. It Is believed^ to be the first time a dissent has been registered under the signature of all members of a group. The labor group contends that the wage scale provided in the decision Is Insufficient to sustain life on anything like the basis of American standards. They cite tables and opinions of social workers and arbitration specialists to sustain the dissent. The pay scale of maintenance of way employees after July 1 will be from 23 to 85 cent^ an hour as compared with the present rate of 28 to 40 cents. • In announcing a separate decision for this class of rail workers, the hoard states that it Is complying with a request made by the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railroad Shop Laborers. The board calls attention to the fact that this adjustment Is based on previous wage adjustments both by the director of railroads under federal control and by the railroad labor board since that time. All matters were based upon horizontal increases or decreases of the scales prevailing before federal control, all of which were different in various parts of the country and on different divisions of the railroads. The minimum rates authorized in the present decision will apply only on a few divisions in a small group of states, principally in tb« £euth and S o u t h w e s t . ? , r; The decision says In part: ^, , "The board 13 of the optniwi that after the reduction under this decision, common labor on the railroads will still be receiving, as a rule, a wage In excess of that paid to similar labor In other industries, and that the same will be trne of all other classes of labor' covered by this decision. 'The board Is of the opinion, however, that the hazards of the employment, the training and skill required, the degree of responsibility to the public, and other elements contained in that statute (transportation act of 1920) combine to justify the payment of a better wage to these employees than Is paid to similar labor in outside employment. "On a very considerable number of roads the foremen and section men are furnished by the carrier, living quarters and fuel. , "Moreover, the board Js not in sympathy with the Idea that a government tribunal, empowered to fix a just' and reasonable wage for men engaged In serving the public In the transportation Industry, should be controlled by the one consideration of the low wages that may be paid to other labor in- a period of temporary depression and unemployment. It Is but just to say that railroad managements have Indicated no desire for such a result." In dissenting the three labor members, A. O. Wharton, Albert Phillips and W. L. McMenimen, assert that under the new scale "the earnings of this large group of railroad employees will not provide the father of a family with as much food as Is allowed convicts In the Cook county jail." •oorea Fall In Rome Battle.
