M ADOO BOOSTS RAIL SHOP PAY BY $1 00M000 Gives Raise to 500,000 Railroad Employes Adopt 8Hour Day. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 25. Wages of railroad shopmen were Increased to 68 cents an hour today by Director General McAdoo, with proportional advances for assistants and miscellaneous classes In mechanical departments. The new rates, which are retroactive to last Jan. 1, and are from 5 to 13 cents an hour higher than wages paid these men In most shops under the general wage advance allowed two months ago by the director general, but are somewhat less than the labor organizations sought. Beginning Aug. 1, eight hours will be recognized as a standard working day, and overtime, Sundays and holiday work will be paid for at the rate of one and one-half times the usual

rate. Back pay will be given the men as soon as it can be calculated. Applies to 500,000 Men. i The advances apply to about 600,000 men and apply flatly to all sections of (the country, despite local differences prevailing heretofore. The addition to ithe aggregate annual pay roll is estl'mated as nearly $100,000,000. The advance is the first extensive modification of the new wage scale and was made on recommendation of the commission on railroad wages and working conditions, following representations of shop crafts that high wages paid machinists and other mechanical workers in ship yards resulted In discrimination against railroad shop employes. New Wage Scale. ' The new scale of wages was announced as follows: j "Machinists, bollermakers, blacki smiths, sheet metal workers, welders, ,and flrst-claas electrical workers, 68 !cent8 per hour. "Car men and second class electrical workers, 68 cents per hour. "Helpers, 45 cents per hour. 1 "Foremen paid on hourly basis, 5 lents per hour more than respective crafts. "Foremen paid on monthly basis, increase $40 per month, minimum $155 .and maximum $250. "New rates are retroactive to Jan. 1, 1918. "Beginning Aug. 1, 1918, eight hour day with time and one-half for overtime, Sunday work, and seven specified holidays." The full text of the new order which deals In detail with methods of calculating specific increases will be issued within the next week. The former wage increase order provided for percentages advances, with a minimum of 55 cents an hour for shopmen.

Friends Work Throughout ; W odd Portrayed in Pageant

Friday, July 26. King Solomon's Chapter, No. 4, R. A. M. Called meeting; work in Mark Master degree. Friday, July 26. Loyal Chapter No. 49. O. E. S. Will give a picnic at Glen Miller park, Friday afternoon.

About 500 people witnessed the Friends Mission pageant given Wednesday evening on Chase stage at Earlham. Scenes laid all over the country were presented by 150 conference delegates and persons from the Richmond Friends churches. A processional led by B. Willis Beede and Prof. Millard Markle, carrying the American and Christian flags, preceded the pageant. The chorus " and audience sang "America," after which B. Willis Beede, master of ceremonies, introduced the pageant. The first scene represented the children of the world at play. There were American, African, Syrian, Indian and Jamaican children who played the games of their respective countries. The scene was in charge of Miss Mary Jay and Ora White. The second scene presented by the East Main Street Friends church was the scene between the American In dians and William Penn. The Indian costumes in this were very good. The third scene was an Old Fairy Tale of Japan, presented by the Philadelphia delegation, and was the most picturesque given. The fourth scene was given by the delegates from Wilmington. The first part showed a Sunday under the old regime and the second scene showed one after Christianity came into the country.

The Syrian scene was presented by the New England delegation and West Richmond meeting. A young girl who had gone to a Christian school returned to her town in Palestine and with the help of the Quaker missionaries there started a Christian school. The Iowa delegation gave a scene in the home of Milo Hinckle, an Indiana missionary, who is now in Jamaica with his wife and daughter. After this scene Miss Gladys Smith, a graduate of Penn College, gave a short talk on why she Is going to Jamaica. Miss Smith will leave In a few days for the island of Jamaica, where she will teach in the mission school. The Mexican scene given by the Whitewater Meeting, gave an idea of the work being done there by Friends.

. "Waiting for the Message," was the scene in Alaska, presented by the delegates from New York and Canada. The Indiana costumes used in this scene were . unusually . beautiful. It portrayed the people in Alaska waiting for the "Book of Heaven," which would

lead then out of darkness. The Indian scene was presented In a forceful way by the South Eighth Street Friends. The first scene took place in a girls' society of a fashionable church in America. The girls decided to give up a missionary whom they , have been supporting in India. They do this because it is too hot to raise the money. The second part shows the tragic effect of their selfishness In India. The African scene, given by the West Richmond Meeting portrayed a triumph for Christianity in that continent. A musical selection was given between each scene. A double quartet from East Main and South- Eighth Street meetings sang two numbers. An orchestra selected from the Friends Meetings, under the direction of Miss Halcey Harold, played exceptionally well.

Retired Teachers Will Return to Service to ReUeve Younger Men OXFORD, O., July 25. Oliver G. Ferris, aged 60 years, and John C. Henderson, aged 61 years, of Amelia and

Withamsville, respectively, yesterday registered at Miami University for the six weeks' summer school. The men were formerly teachers, but retired
