Washington. April s.-Approprlation

ton OF the house managers to push

out Of the way as soon as possible.
Some Of the prominent house Demo-
Gratis are alarmed at the slow progress

Wage system is Not Fixed.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, April s.-John NJ. Thurston
of Omaha arrived in the city today
from st. Paul Mir Thurston said the
decision Of Judge Caldwell IN the Union
Pacific case has relieved the receiver Of
the responsibility OF cutting down the
wages Of the thousands of employees OF
the road, but 1t has not settled the
wage question.
"Under the decision of Judge Cald-
WELL" said Mr.. Thurston, 1.-THE receivers
have no power to reduce the wages Of
the employees who were involved In the
proceeding in court This Includes the
engineers and flremen and all the train
men, The older employees, shopmen,
clerks and all holding salaried post
tons had their pay reduced last Sep
TENDER. when cut Of from 10 to 20
per cent was made. These employees
have come into court and have petit
toned for a restoration Of their old sal
aries. Judge Caldwell held that the
present schedules under which train
men worked were just and proper and
should not be reduced by the receivers.
Other employees now say that If the
trainmen's schedules are right the re-
duction Of their wages was wrong and
their petition seems to be logical and
unassallable The rate OF wages paid
on the Union Pacific is higher than is
n,td an other roods and the receivers
deemed a reduction necessary and not
unjust, considering the situation in
which the road is placed"
