DECISION FAVORS CLOSED SHOP MEN Rail Labor Board’s Decision Union Victory. CHICAGO, June 20. —Advocates of the closed shop won a victory before the United States Rail Labor Board here today. The board announced that representatives of the majority of men in one craft may draw up working agreements which will affect all members. Since unionists are in the vast majority, this Is a ruling in their favor, it was interpreted. The decision was handed down in an answer to a query by these employes of the Missouri A Kansas Railroad and the Wichita Falls & Northwestern steamship clerks, freight handlers, express employes and station workers. Employes •re engaged all over the county in drawing up anew set of working agreements, as ordered by the railroad board. The new working agreements are to be formulated In conferences with railroad managers. The rail board's latest ruling means that only union representatives may sit in and act, speak for all employes. Representatives of twenty of the largest railroads in the country appeared before the board today to ask that they be included in the recent 12 per cent wage ' cut ruling of the board. The wage cut affected only some of the railroads who threw their cases before the board as a test. These are some of the roads now ask lng to be included: Michigan Cenaral. Erie. Big Four and Illinois Central. The wage slash made in the previous ruling is effective July 1 and affects shop employes, common laborers and maintenance of way workers. The appearance of the representatives of the roads is considered a mere formal ity, as there is no doubt In railroad circles but what their request will be complied with.

MORE MOTOR ROUTES BEST TRAFFIC HELP (Continued From Paso 0n..) town probably the greater part comes to Washington street to avoid some bad sections ol New York street close to the congested area. The strain on these highways obviously Is too great dnring rtfs’.i hours. * From the section to the west, lying along Washington street and extending as far north as Sixteenth street the only direct way downtown Is West AVashington street. The street is wide and by recent resurfacings has been put in excellent condition most of the way. but bringing all this traffic in by the one channel throws it Into the crowded section at one spot. SOFTH SIDE PROBLEM. because there ere so few through north and south routes in the south side the no mean vehicular traffic from this section gets to the edge of downtown in Kentucky avenue. South Meridian street, Madison and Virginia avenues. It finally comes in through Kentucky avetine,.South Illinois, and South Meridian streets and Virginia avenue. Track elevation is partially responsible for this. Opening of more streets when the track raising project Is completed will help. Indiana avenue aerves tha near and far northwestern sections. Adding the above gives thirteen streets through which the bigger part of vehicular traffic gets from the outlying districts downtown, whereas if the original intentions of the platters of the mile square, with Its straight east ajid west streets and four diagonal avenues had been carried out approximately forty routes might be open. The problem now Is to make as many more available as possible. The difficulty of getting street cars into and out of the congested territory Is bound up with that of handling the motor vehicles now hampered In such movement Provision of more motor rootes naturally would open up more ways for street cars to come into the business district as they are needed.

INSECT MENACE TO SHADE TREES Spraying of Trees Necessary to Kill Pest. Special to The Times. LAFAYETTE, Ind., June 20.—Reports received by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Purdue University indicate great abundance of the cottony maple scale which Is menacing the shade trees, especially hard and soft maple, box elder, linden, etc., in the northern half of Indiana. Stringent measures, necessitating the spraying of trees, must be taken to destroy this insect, says J. J. Davis, head of the entomology department. The Insect is conspicuous because of the largo cottony masses produced, the Infested at the urcsent time resembling strings of pop-torn. These cottony masses contain thousands of eggs from which hatch the young that winter over as jiartly griwn scales on the twigs. Spraying with a miscible oil, one part to fifteen parts cf water. In the spring before the buds break Is probably the most effective remedy. Care should be taken to make the application thorough and yet not permit the oil to run down I and soak the soil at the baoe since the| trees are sensitive to the action of dlls. A summer spray of kerosene emulsion applied when the young are batching, that Is during June and July, Is of value and In serious Infestations where the dormant miscible oil spray was not made it should be used. The summer spray must be made with great care as It Is difficult to make thorough applications when the trees are in foliage. A 10 per cent emulsion used for a sum- I rner spray Is prepared as follows: Dis solve one pound of common soap, or half a pound of whale oil soap in one gallon of hot water. Add two gallons of kerosene while the soap solution Is still hot and then thoroughly churn for five or ten minutes or until It presents the appearance of a thick cream and no longer separates on standing b..- pumping the mixture back Into Itself with a spray pump. To this add seventeen gallons of water and thoroughly churn. Soft water must be used.

Another summer spray which Is effective against recently hatched scale Is on. pound of fish oil soap which is dtssol e(i in four gallons of water, to which one ounce of Blacklenf 40 is added. Spraying imuaP be thorough as tbo young must be hit with the sprays, all of which are contact Insecticides. The cottony maple scale should be hatching within the next week or two and summer spray applications should be made after the majority of the scale have hatched. Four Electrocuted BELLEFONTAINE.
