MAINTENANCE OF WAY WORKERS FACE WAGE CUT OF $48,000,000 CBy Associated Press) CHICAGO, May 29. Maintenance of

way. employes of the nation's Tall-ways today face a $48,000,000 wage reduction effective .-July l. .Tne railroad labor board last night promulgated the order which affects 400,000 men. This Trder. the-$400,000,000 slash of last Jtily aai. pending "orders, affectingUtffcer Pistes,1- 4C- theyi carry the same ratio off reductions, would place railroad, labor where it was before the $600,000,000 in increase of May, 1920. Impending: decisions governing the wages -of 500,,0po, -railway' shopmen, 200.00Q; clerks, telegraphers station employes and other-classes, were expected to follow closely upon, last night's order,'' which cut the pay of maintenance of 'way workers from one to five cents-aa hour.

WlUL-their settlement over working

rulesr.istill pending the ."Big Four"j brotherhoods, and the switchmen are1 not yet Involved in any wage dispute before - the board. These classes received a 12 percent reduction last July. -'-- To Consider at Once. Immediate consideration of last night's- order by the executive council of the-'United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way employes was in prospect todays -with the prediction by B. M. Jew6l,head of the railway department :r the American .Federation of Ijabrotrthat the decision will be rejected .when submitted to a vote of the mfim.' Brptherhood officials characterized the;rut as "indefensible," asserting that ' the case they presented to the board' did not warrant the reduction. The-three labor, members of the board -returned a dissenting opinion

to that order. The wage rut decision was Eigned by the three members representing the public and the three railroad members. Use'tf Money. Saved Money saved -by. the wage reductions-will be1 expended in much needed maintenance work, according to reports of the roads to the board. Starting of this neglected work will offer employment to 200,000 additional men, it was said. "Wages of maintenance of way employes, now ranging from 28 to 40 cents an hour, after July 1 will range from 23 to 35 cents. Common labor suffered the biggest cut. This clans numbers about 187,000 employes, who fact a reduction of 5 cents an hour, along with 91,000 men who work at shops, rouadhouses and yards. Section, track and maintenance foremen will take a three-cent reduction,, while mechanics not under the shop crafts agreement were cut four cents, and mechanics' helpers one cent. In its order the board expressed the belief that after the reductions are made common labor on the railroads will be receiving higher wages than similar labor in most other industries.

WASHINGTON, D. C, May 29. Visiting prehistoric ruins Is now a popular pastime with vacationists who believe in seeing America first. Out in Colorado In the Mesa Verde National Park we have prehistoric remains that compare favorably with ruins anywbere, both in pictures queness and niystery. The governnent has for sorrae years been engaged in excavating and repairing them and they show promise of becoming one of the standard sights of America, in a class with the Washington Monument, Niagara Falls, the Statute of Liberty, and Pikes Peak. Only recently have Americans been awakened to an Interest in home grown antiquities. In 1907 when tho Mesa Verde ' reservation was established by the Government 25 tourists came to see its wonderful cliff dwellings. Last yftfir 3,500 visitors were shown the sights of the park. Each year move of the Mesa Verde ruins are in Bhape for public inspection. Dr. Fewkes, who is chief of the Bureau of American Ethnology of tho Smithsonian Institution, spends his summers -directing excavation and restoration work, with the twofold purpose of promoting scientific knowledge and of interesting Americans in the remarkable past of their country. Scientists have newer been able to prove definitely whence the cliff dwellers of southwestern Colorado came, or how they learned to be stone ma

sons of Fuch skill, or why they at least

abandoned their stone towers and

temples and disappeared. It is supposed that they were the ancestors of some of the modern southwestern Indians who live in pueblos, or community houses. At one time some scientists thought

that the Aztecs of New Mexico taught

are supposed to be their early attempts at building are simple shelters made of huge stones set on edge. From making these rude huts the builders progressed until they were constructing horizontal masonry with stones laboriously fitted into place, at least, this is the story read by scientists in the varied types of ruin3 which plainly illustrate different stages of skill. Ancient Communists Circular, square and semi-circular towers, some 25 feet high, were built by these Indian craftsmen. Rooms were arranged in tiers to form community houses. There were temples with altars and outlets for smoke. Then the stone builders vanished, and so complete was their disappearance that even the Indians of the region have only vague traditions as to their existence. A clue to the age of the Mesa Verde cliff dwellers was noted by Dr. Fewkes in excavating the Sun Temple ruin in 1915. A great red cedar tree was growing In the annex to the temple. Its roots had penetrated into the rooms, so that it was necessary to cut the"m -off and to fell the tree in the work of restoration. A stump of the tree was left, however, and 360 annular rings can be counted. Dr.

Fewkes adds 2o0 years as a conserva

tive guess for the time of the temple'3 construction and use before tree3 would have grown in its deserted rooms. From such evidence he think3

it likely that the ancient Pueblos were

in existence about 1300 A. D.

After the disappearance of these

early communists the rock villages were left to be gradually worn down and buried in sand and debris. In 1SS8 two herdsmen who were hunting lost cattle discovered among the cliffs what seemed to be towers and walls of a city. Closer inspection showed that the structures were the remains of an old cliff dwelling, a community house with 200 family living rooms and 22 rooms for worship. The herdsmen named it Cliff Palace. Soon after their discovery the Mesa Verde remains were found to have a commercial value, and vandals began

looting the rooms of pottery, bones and bits of fabric. The walls were

badly damaged and foundations undermined by the reckless collectors.

In 1907 the Government reserved

the tract of land to protect it from

further plundering. Congress made

appropriations, and Dr. Fewkes at once began to restore the damaged

ruins and to put them into condition for visitors to see. Horaeback trails were the only way of reaching tho ruins at first, and few tourists had sufficient enthusiasm to make the 32 mile trip from Mancos. Since then automobile roads have been built, and a small hotel has been opened. Rangers act as guides, and Americans

can visit the prehistoric ruins of Colorado in modern comfort. Work Just Begun Almost every year some new type of

ruin is salvaged from the debris of the centuries. In 1910 the Cliff Palace which i-s the largest cliff dwelling in the southwest, was excavated and repaired. In 1915 the D-shaped Sun Temple was brought to light. The next year a large community of a new

type was unearthed and in 1919 one of the best preserved cliff houses in the ' Eouthwest was added to the list of Mesa Verde's attractions. Even the wooden beams of the room of this house were still intact. Last summer a Fire Temple evidently devoted to worship and conservation of fire was discovered. Dr. Fewkes has Just left for another summer's work at Mesa Verde and he has selected for special attention this year a mound of a new form. Apparently this structure was not a dwelling but was used for some unknown commun

al purpose. It is at present a pile' of atones 25 feet high wiih a depress- j ed center. No walls r above the urfaoe of the ground, but all the stones covering the nifinnd show artificial work indicating fine masonry. The size, shape and i.st use of the structure- can be determined only by removal of the accumulated debris, laying bare the rooms now concealed by fallen stones, drifting sand, and a dense growth of vegetation. It ia proposed to strengthen and otherwise repair the shattered walls so that tourists may behold one more of the great prehistoric Mesa Verde buildings somewhat in its original conditions. Mesa Verde excavations are of

ereat interest to science;. A number

of scholars have mad different deductions and set forth different theories from the evidence eo far unearthed. : Unfortunately the Itueblos of this section had no system: of writing be

yond a few rude eymboESs scratched on

cliffs or painted on their earthenware

jars. From remains found in their

buried dwellings it is loiown that they, were farmers, coaxing; a scant living out of the dry mesa country. Bits, of pottery and decorated fabrics tell us that they had a strong- sense of beauty. By such random .clues the lost Mesa Verde tribes intrigue scientists to further effort in the solution o their mystery.
