RAILROADS MAY OFFER FREIGHT
 CUTS AS WAGES
 IF LABOR DROP
Novel Proposal For Solution Of High Rates to Be Of-
 fered Rail Executives
SITUATION EXPLAINED
Plan Suggested Would Allow Reasonable Profit, Help
 Public, Is Contention

CHICAGO, Oct. 13. 4 proposal to meet all future reductions in wages of railroad employees with correspond ing decreases in railroad freight rates is to be presented to the Association of Railway Executives at it's meeting here tomorrow, it was announced to- night. The proposition is to be sub mitted by a special committee of rail road officials which last week con- terred with government officials at Washington, it was stated.
 This announcement was made by a railroad official here for the confer ence, who stated that the committee had prepared report embodying the plaE.
 The proposition to pass a.. future decreases in operating costs along to the public, it was stated, was in line with the policy of the railroads to make freight rate reductions and al- low railroads to operate at profit Freight. rate reductions are impossi- .ble while operating costs remain un- changed. this official asserted.
 Facing Huge Deficit
 The railroads emerged from the war facing a huge deficit, he assert ed The per cent profit provided by the transportation act failed to bring any material relief because of the decrease in business and had the railroad labor board not authorized a reduction of wages, maEy railroads would have been bankrupt before the end of the year, it was asserted.
 Railroad executives, according to the official, have realized the desir- ability of q reduction il freight rates because of the decrease in the prices Of other commodities.
 They have, however. been unable to effect such reductions, he said, be- cause of the fixed operating costs. This, he asserted. applied to the ar bitrary fixing of wages and to the limitation placed on hours employees can work and the amount of work can be done.
 To effect a reduction of freight rates and maintain present revenues. the plan announced tonight was for mulated. Increased business, brought about by lower freight rates, is ex- pected to provide the increased reve- nue necessary for the railroads to op- crate at fair profit, it was stated.
 Would Take Some Time
 The plan, if approved by the exc cutives tomorrow. will be presented

Employers and employees all must meet them Nobody can be made to work for less than he will. Neither can any one af- ford to employ men to produce what he cannot sell.

 Russia Is Stable

GLASGOW, Oct. 13.-British plans for trading with Russia have been de- feated, it Was declared by Sir Robert $. Horne. chancellor of the exchequer in an address last nightly He said this was partly the result of the Russian famine, and could be attributed in some measure to the fact that the Rus sian extremists have been more anX- ious to spend their gold in propagan- da than in buying goods."
 Sir Robert disclaimed lack of spm- pathy for Russia, but asserted he had tested the loyalty of some of his friends by concluding the trade agree ment with the Soviet government. He added he was prepared to defend that agreement because he believed the world would never recover until Rus sia was again producing grain, and al- so because he believed the best way to break down Bolshevism would be to penetrate Russia with honast com mercit methods

 He led a party of police and newspaper men to a sandy cliff at Salada Beach, six miles from Colma, where the priests body, with the head crushed in and two bullet holes in the body, was found in a shallow grave.
 Hightower said his clue came from the story of an outcast wom- an, Dolly Mason, that a drunken foreigner had told her of some thing valuable" buried near sign of man frying flapjacks.

Disapproval of Resolutions To Encourage Mining of
 Gold Voiced in Letter
SAYS RESERVE IS BIG
Nation Financial Chief Is Confident Industry Will
 Recover From Slump

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. - Opposi- tion to subsidy of any kind to pro- ducers of newly mined gold was ex- pressed today by Secretary Mellon in a letter to Senator Oddie, Republic an, Nevada, in reply 60 a resOlu- tion signed by 22 western senators supporting house measure provid- ing for the premium.
 The treasury's position. Secretary Mellon said, had net been altered by developments since May when he wrote the chairman of the house ways and means committee declaring the treasury found no reason for such leg islation. Mellon added that there are signs of improvement in general min- ing conditions and he believed the ab- normal effect of the war would grad ually be eradicated without the aid of the gold production subsidy.
 The secretary called attention to the vast accumulation O. rc.c lyi tnfs country, saving that the United States lad the largest gold reserve in it's history and the largest stock of none. tary gold in the world
 He denied there was a --:oftage Of gold and asserted that there is noth- ing in the position of the gold re- serve which makes it either neces- sary CT advisable to encourage by sub- sidies or other artificial means new mine production of gold

 T believe the secretary is mistak- en-" Frank G. Peck, president of the Portland Gold Mining company, de- clared tonight. "It is true the gold reserve of the United States is large, but at the same time we must recog- niZe that the existing supply of other countries are at a low ebb and they must replenish their reserves from us.
 Ordinary commercial intercourse between the United States and for eign countries will tend 90 reduce our reserves, which will have big ef- feet on business.
 Tt is short-sightedness to ruin our gold industry at this time. If the gov ernment does not give the operators premium on gold, feelt hat it should discontinue the selling of gold and threw the market open Tor the producers.
 Both wages and the cost of mining material are still at such high level that there is comparatively little prof it in the mining of gold.
 Government aid for the industry is necessary/if thep reduction is to continue at even the average output attained in recent months"

 Dramatic Incident
PARTS OF OATH READ
Leader Denying Charges Says He Would Dissolve Order
 If It Were Unworthy

WASHINGTON, Oct l3. - Closing an all defense of the Ku Klux Klan. William J. Simmons. it's imperial wizard, toppled over in a chair today while the chairman of the house in vestigating committee was attompt- ing to stop the applause which broke out before the crowd knew he had collapsed.
 Friends of Simmons rushed to his side and supplied stimulants. but as it was evident he was in no condi- tion to continue, the hearing. filled with many dramatic incidents. was adjourned until tomorrow Physi- cians later reported his condition was not serious.
 Bundled up about the chest. Sim mons returned this afternoon un- steady. his voice hoarse. but appa- rently eager to denounce what he characterized as outrageous charges against the organization which he founded in Georgia five years ago.
 Stiffness prevailed at times while the wizard. holding aloft the ritual of the Klan, read parts of the oath taken by Klansmen. And then he told the committee that while Julius Caesar had his Brutus. and Washing ton his Benedict Arnold. he. too. as imperial wizard of the Ku Klux. could enter that fellowship because he had suffered from the reasonable conduct of those within.
 If this organization is unworthy then let me know and I will destroy it." he exclaimed. but if it is not. then let it stand"
 Tumbles Into Heap
 Turning to the crowd. Simmons de- clared he wanted to call on the Fa- ther to forgive those who had perse- cuted the Klan." and as the words left his lips. he tumbled into a heap.
 The dramatic incident was the ap- pearance of Senator T. F.. Watson of Georgia. who stepped up and shook the wizard by the hand Whispering something, he turned and sat down. but moment later he was on a:s -eet. demanding the right to question the witness 'in the interest of fair play" Chairman Campbell broke in to say that the witness was getting that. and that it was not in line with regular procedure to permit questions by out siders.
 Senator Watson insisted he had the right. first announcing. however. that he was not Klansman. although in sympathy with it's aims. and the chair man cut through the colloquy by di- reeting the senator to proceed. The senator merely asked tee w1Zard 1T he knew of the big salaries being vot- ed by congress for shipping bOard lawyers. reaching as high as S35.oOo which the people had to pay. with that. Watson left.
 Through the testimony of Simmons. the committee learned that the total membership of the Klan. heralded as havingpassed the half million mark. actually was around 90.000 The wit ness declared its growth east and west had been greater than in the south Asked if he had not claimed "a million members Simmons Smil- ingly repled he might have done sO.
