THIS NO TIME
FOR WAGE
REDUCTION
SAYS CHAIRMAN FINK OF THE
NORFOLK AND WESTERN
RAILROAD.

New York. July 22.--Chairman
Henry Fink, OF the Norfolk and
Western railroad, in denying a re-
port that the road was making an
effort to have It's men accept re-
duction in wages. placed himself on
record as opposed at this time eth
er to n reduction in wages or an adj
vance in freight rates.
This is not the time for reduc-
ton in wages" he said. 1T may
come to that. but not yet. Neither
is this the time for an Increase in
freight rates. 1t is all very wel(
to argue with shippers that they
will be asked to pay only tenth or
n cent more on some rates. They
knew that their fright bills will be
larger. and that is not pleasant at q
time like this. AS q matter of fact,
an advance in freight rates Is an
imposslbillty now or at any other
time It is an impossibility because
Il involves raising the rates
some things which would not sta
the higher rate. Rates might well
be put up when business reeovers,
but Il cannot be horizontal In

PANIED by brilliant stan. The

Fairbanks were received by the

ing to the fact that IL embraces
