METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE JOHNSON RETURNS HOME. 2000.000 RAIL MEN GET 21 PCT. WAGE INCREASE. Railroad Makes Award of Six Workmen After Delay CHICAGO, July 20.—The United railway labor board today announced wage increases totalling almost six hundred million dollars annually for 1,894,287 employees of roads. The leaders of 16 railroads crafts affected by the increase planned to hold a session at 11 o'clock this morning to consider the awards. Their approval or disapproval probably will be announced tomorrow night. Their recommendation to workers in the ranks probably will determine whether or not there will be strike trouble in the near future. The award is for about half the amount demanded by the workers. The wage increases are given in cents per hour and per day, as follows: In train and engine service, passenger engineers, firemen, firemen's helpers, 80 cents per day; freight engineers, firemon, firemen's helpers, $1.04 per day. Hostler's pay was established at $5.64 to $6.25 a day. Passenger conductors, baggemen, brakemen, flagmen, suburban conductors, collectors and guards were increased $30. a month. Freight conductors, flagmen and brakemen were increased $1.94 per day. The wages in yard foreman were set at $5.96 per day; yard helpers at $6.48 per day; and switch tenders, $5.04 per day. Clerical and station forces were given hourly increases. Stock, helpers and helpers of more than 10 years experience got a 13 cents per hour increase, labour positions ones got 6 1-2 cents increase. There were also other raises down the line. The demand for an increase in wages made by rail workers has been pending for the past 18 months and the leaders of the brotherhoods have had the hardest kind of work to hold the men from striking, 60,000 switchmen having been expelled from the unions for their recent outlaw strike. It is more than an even bet the award will be rejected. Union heads went into session immediately. The increases roughly averaged from 20 to 27 per cent. The union demands were for from 30 to 60 per cent. Barton, chairman of the board, said "This award necessarily in the end will be paid by the public through increased freight rates. Sheriff Goes to Border to Pinch Jack Johnson Los Angeles, Cal., July-19 Sheriff John C. Cline, Los Angeles, announced today he intended to leave immediately for the Mexican border, where he expected to arrest Jack Johnson, Negro former heavyweight champion, under sentence in Chicago for violation of the Mann act.

We arrived Monday the 12th from Carbondale, Murphysboro, East St. Louis, and St. Louis, Mo., where we were most royally entertained by our friends. Mr, M. M. Jones, of Carbondale, Rev. and Mrs. F. T. Hunt, of Murphysboro, Mr. and Mrs. John Jefferson of East St. Louis, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilson of St. Louis Mo. Their doors were thrown wide open to us and we were made to feel as if at home while with them. After catching our breath at home we departed on the 4:30 a. m. Burlington train for Vienna, where we found our very dear friend and brother S. T. Oliver at the court house square, a concrete contractor concreting the artesian well and after a short chat he directed me to his beautiful and cozy home, where I met his charming wife, Mrs. Oliver who is full of life and a real church worker. Dirner was soon prepared and among the many good things to eat was found a "preachers delight" and that fried. In a short time the news spread over the city that a preacher was in town and I was invited to remain over and preach at night. Night came and regardless of rain a good audience greeted us and in our own way we attempted to preach the Word but was made to stop on the account of the praisesthat went up to God. We were invited back for some Sunday and was asked to set the date. The Negro Puilist, Sentenced Under Mann Act, Returns from Mexican Refuge After Eight Years.

Deputy United States Marshal George Cooley and Dave Gershon special agent of the department of Justice, were waiting for the pugilist and placed him under arrest as he entered the United States. Johnson grins "Allright," when arrested and said, all right, but "say, it is good to be back in the United States again." "Tell them I'm on my way," he said as the party left the monument. "I have been wanting to deacon's of the church are on the alert and are looking out for some good man who can do them good.

Under One Year's Sentence Chicago, Ill., July 20 -The united States District Attorney's office in Chicago, announced today, on receipt of advice that Jack Johnson had been arrested near San Diego, that no action would be taken until Johnson was brought back here. "The Deputy Marshal in teat jurisdiction will reuien the prisoner to Chicago." said Mr. Clyne, "and further ac will then be taken." Johson was convicted about a five years ago for violation of the Mann act for transporting Bertha Schteibner from Pittsburg to Chicago, for immoral purposes. He He was sentenced to serve one year in the House of Correction, following which the decision was affirmed by the United States Appellate Court. Before he was taken to the prison Johnson left the country, forfeiting his $15,000 bond. District Attorney Clyne stated he would vigorously oppose any move to pardon Johnson. In both cities and probably others the Reverend will deliver his famous address, "It matters not how you get there since you are there in time."

We pity that soul whose religion will not bind him sufficiently strong enough to enable him to rise above his evil companions sufficiently high and long enough to allow his light, (life) to shine forth to illuminate the pathway of some poor sinner that will lead him into that path that shines more and more until the perfect day We have several good preachers that are idle that would make good pastors if they were given a chance. Every church large or small should have a pastor, and carry out the great commission of Jesus. Ye should be doers of his word and not hearers only.
