RAILWAY WAGE
DISPUTE BACK
TO PRESIDENT
Conferences Failure, Says b.
M. Jewell, Representing
Labor on Board-Expresses
Disappointment.
WOULD mean BIG COST
(Bv Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, April 2-The whole
railroad wage controversy was placed
before President Wilson today for the
third time since railroad labor nied
its demands for a general increase
in wages last summer.
In a letter to the president, B. M.
Jewell, chairman of the railway com
mittee which constitutes the labor
party on the railroad wage board, sald
he regretted very much Ito advise
YOU of our failure to obtain any bene-
ficial results from these conferences.
The employees. Mr.. Jewell said, were
keenly disappointed at the position
taken by the railway executives COM
mittee, which announced last night a
deadlock and the withdrawal of the
railroad members from the confer
sence.
Labor Board is Urged
Mr. Jewell did not ask the presl-
dent to lay the wage controversy be-
fore the railway labor board, which is
to be nominated by the president as
provided in the transportation act,
and on which the public will have
representation.
Attached to Mr. JEWELS letter was
correspondence setting forth the at
.titude of the men and the executive
committee. e. T. Whittier, for the rail-
way executives, wrote that, while an
agreement as to wages might be
reached by direct negotiations be-
tween representatives of the roads
and the men, the executives did not
believe congress contemplated set
tlement involving so great an addition
to transportation costs without the
public being represented in the con-
ference.
Replying to this letter, Mr.. Jewell
said he believed the reason given by
the managers for terminating the ne
gotiations was mot in accord with our
understanding of the law"
Is Keen Disappointment.
THE attitude of your committee in
failing to carry out the wishes of the
president of the United States, comes
as a surprise to us" Mr.. Jewell wrote
to Mr.. Whittier.
'It will result in keen disappoint-
ment to our constituents as well as
the general public, both of whom are
parties at interest and entitled to more
consideration from the bipartisan
board than you have elected to give.
I'VE understand from this that your
committee has definitely declined to
assume the responsibility and perform
the duty which SO clearly desired in
the public interests, and which the
transportation act, as we understand
it, contemplates: that of agreeing in
conference upon rates of pay for rail
road employees which are just and
reasonable"

BOSSERT'S ALLEGED
DISLIKE OF WATSON
MAY BEAT FORMER

NEWCASTLE, Ind April 2.-An al
legged assertion by Walter Bossert, of
Liberty, Republican district chair
man, that "he would beat Jim Watson
in his own district" has served to
stimulate the opposition to Bossert for
reelection and has made the demand
for his retirement more insistent
among party leaders in many parts of
the district.
Bossert has asserted he is candi-
date for reelection. despite ayowed
opposition. The opposition to him
has been apparent for some time. al
though Bossert has prOfessed to know
nothing of 1T.
1t is charged that Bossert recently
made the statement that "he would
beat Jim Watson in his own district"
and that "he had plenty of money to
do 1t with" These remarks are not
taken kindly by the Watson men in
the district and they are in this dis
trict by the hundreds.
The result is that the opposition to
Bossert has become intense and it is
now being predicted his retirement
will come and that Walter Bridges,
of Hancock county, will be named d.
trict chairman.
Any regard for Bossert's political
leadership that the ardent supporters
of Senator Watson may have had dis
appeared when this assertion regard
ing the senator became known among
party leaders.
Senator Watson, as candidate, Is
entitled to friendly organization, it
Is pointed out, and with Bossert al
ready opposed to him, even before the
campaign gets under way, is more
than the supporters of Senator Wat
son in Henry county and some other
counties of the district can stand
1t is very reliably reported that
Bossert made the remarks credited to
him. According to the story told
here, Bossert made the remarks in In.
dianapolis recently to an ardent sup
porter of Senator Watson, but not a
resident of the district
There is no intimation that Senator
Watson desires the control of the
Sixth district organization, his friends
only insisting on a friendly commit
tee, and with Bossert in this attitude
his chance Of being reelected is re
garded as rather slim here.
Ran Into Opposition
Dissatisfaction with the present dis
tTlct CHAIRMAN mas Deen apparent fol
some time a/l has been growing as
the time approaches to name new
chairman. 1t has long been custom
ary for district chairman to serve
only two terms. This was the first
| thought of replacing Bossert it is
said
Many district chairmen have served
only one term, but Bossert has served
two terms and it was the general un
derstanding when he was last Sc
lected that he would retire at the
completion of this service But this
Bossert is said to deny and has stated
! publicly that he is a candidate for re
election.
He has recently made a tour of the
district, feeling out the sentiment
and, while he has not given out any
thing regarding the attitude he founC
