MAINE GOVERNOR DIES OF DIPHTHERIA
RAILROADS CAN BE SAVED
BY DROPPING WARTIMERULEs

CHICAGO, JAN 31-Immediate
abrogation of the national agreement
between railroads and employees was
proposed to the railroad labor board
today by W. w Atterbury, chairman
of the Labor Committee of the Asso-
citation of Railway Executives, and
vice president Of the Pennsylvania
railroad
The solvency of the railroads OF
the country must be assured by re-
duction of the operating expenses, ne
declared. Unless ~rompt action at-
fords relief to the roads many Of
them might be forced into insolvency.
"The labor board can prevent this
catastrophy" he said "by declaring
that the national agreement, rules
and working conditions coming over
from the war period are terminated
at once. The national agreement,
rules and working agreement forced
on the railroads as war measures
caused gross waste and inetfciency.
| estimate that the elimination of
this waste would reduce railway OPP
Grating expenses at least $300,000,000
per year. 1t would be far better to
save this sum by restoring conditions
OF efficient and economical operation
than to reduce wages.
We believe that as the wages of
railroad employees were the last to go
up they should be the last to come
down bat we do insist that for ample
wage an honest days work shall be
given. 1t rests entirely with your
board to determine within the next
few days whether this whole situation
shall drift into chaos and orderly pro-
cedure become impossible except at
the price of railroad bankruptcy, fl
nancial shock and still wider unem-
plovment," Mr. Atterbuly said. Gen
eral Atterbuly's proposals brought
out a discussion between him and
Judge Barton, chairman of the board.
Judge Barton ruled that the board
would have to consider the proposal
for immediate action in an executive
session and meanwhile the procedure
of the hearing would be continued.

AMENDMENTS
TO CONSTITUTION
APPEAR IN SENATE
Speculation at State Capitol
In Regard to Other
Appointments

MONTPELIER, Jan. 31-When
the senate convenes this evening Sen
ator Kingsley Of Rutland county will
call from the table the proposals of
amendments to the constitution
which were reported favorably by the
committee on judiciary last week.
These include filing vacancies in the
house OF representatives relative TO
the filing of deeds and conveyance5,
the right of jury trials to be waived
in criminal cases; the amendment to
the constitution on equal suffrage
and the veto item in the budget. 1t
is likely that only few bills will be
introduced in the senate this evening
but that the house bill relative to the
lump sum salary will be referred to
the committee.
The house Will not convene until
10 o'clock Tuesday morning, many Of
tne members having gone home to
finish up the town business in the va
rious OFFICES in which they serve. 1t
is expected now that the bill from
the budget committee, providing for
the appropriation will appear in the
house the latter part Of the week.
Speculation is occurring about the
house relative to the remainder Of
the appointments which have to be
confirmed by the senate. There are
nine more and it is understood there
is objection to the reappointment of
the tax commissioner, bank commits
sioner and director of state institu-
tons so that an carly announceent
OF these appointments is expected.
Very likely nearly 20 bills will appear
in the house Tuesday morning.
