Some Rail Firen,en
Ask $495 q Month
Demands Criticized as
More Than Conductors
or Engineers Receive

CHICAGO, May 22.- Demands of
railroad fremen for increased pay
were attacked before the Railway
Labor Board to-day by f. T. Whittier,
representing the Association of Rail-
way Executives, as unjust and exor-
bitant.",
The increases asked, he said, range
from 38 to 81 per cent, or additional
pay of from $40 to $217 month The
maximum pay under the scale demand
ed by the brotherhood, he said, would
be $496 month in some cases.
Mr.. Whittier said the demands, if
granted, would lead to dissension
among the unions, as tho firemen in
many instances would receive more
than the engineers and conductors,
whose responsibility, he said, was
greater.

War Bonds Can't Pay Taxes
Leffingwell Says U. S. Must Get
Cash m. BORROW

WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Treas
ury's opposition to any plan by which
Liberty bonds would be accepted in
payment of Federal taxes was ex-
pressed tonight in a letter from AS
sistant Secretary Leffingwell to cor
respondent. Mr.. Leffingwell declared
such program would force the Treas
ury to replace by fresh borrowings
money which it would have received in
taxes.
The acceptance of bonds in tax pay
ment. Mr.. Leffingwell said, would
merely mean that the long term debt
would be decreased while the short
term or floating debt, which is made
up Of Treasury certificates of indebted
ness, would be increased correspond
ingly. He believed this also would
have deterrent effect on Liberty bond
quotations, which recently fell to a
new low level.
