An encouraging .symptom is the ini creasing flow of foreigners to this .country—hardy workers, many- of j them, who are willing to do an hon- | est day’s work for an honest day's ' P&y. If the United States ever before I needed this kind of people it certainIly needs them now to help restore the country to a sane, normal basis. It was the honest immigrant who | was a factor in building up the nation originally, and he is our hope now in relieving the present, trying and unnatural situation and helping to get the country back to normal. i ’ The United Stales Railway Labor Board after a prolonged deliberation gave its decision Tuesday as to the demands of 1.500,000 organized railway workers, granting increases, totalling $600,000,000. being 60 per cent of the amount demanded by the workers. This is approximately an increase of 21 per cent of the present rates of wages. The award is retroactive. dating from May first of this year. The brotherhood officials have taken the proposition under advisement. The rumored agreement between J the Hamburg-American Steamship I ^company and the American Ship and ' CoPHiiprco corporation will to aid partially restore Hamburg to her I
