RAILWAY HEADS REJECT PLANS
 FUR NATIONAL
 LABOR FARLEY
Executives Declare Action Not To Be Construed As
 Against Organization
POINT OUT REASONS
Officials Declare Roads Confronted With Many
 Different Demands

CHICAGO. Feb. 1S.-The Associa- tion of Railway Executives at its meeting today unanimously adopted the report of it's labor committee and resolutions refusing to enter into na- tional conferences suggested by the employees as a means of settling diff ferences over wages of unskilled la bor and working conditions.
 The committee report pointed out that the opposition made by the roads to the national agreements and the position taken today was not to be construed as an attack on labor or ganiZations themselves.
 What we have been trying to do and all that We have been trying to do," the report said, "is to get the opportunity to deal with our own em- ployes so as to restore the efficiency of labor on railroads and if possible , avoid unemployment and defer ser ious wage reductions. The leaders of the labor unions, by the position they
 have taken, have directly raised the issue whether the maintenance and increase of the power of the national labor unions shall be placed above the public interest in the efficient and economical operation of our transpor- tationi system.'
 B. M. Jewell, chairman of the rail way department of the American Fed
 eration of Labor, requested the rail way board Thursday to refer the na- ] tional agreements and the question of
 wages of unskilled labor to a national
 joint conference of railway heads and
 representatives of the labor unions
 After referring to this demand and
 the statements made by Frank P | Walsh before the board that the un. ions might find it necessary to make
 ''an earnest effort to prevent congress enacting into law pending Legislation ' for the financial relief of railroads, " i the report said:
 The railroads are thus confronted with this situation: While endeavor l ing to escape from one set of rigid | and uniform rules and working condi tions inherited from the war, they are met with a new demand which, fl acQuiesced in by the labor board would deprive individual carriers o | OlESCl nSSOlldllOn Nllu lHtlT tIlplOl eS These demands amount to nationaliza
 tion of the railroads in the interests
 oi consolidated labor unions bu
 against the reals interests of the em, ployes. Such nationalization is abso. lutely incompatible with the efficient
 and economical operation of the rail
 roads,"
 ! Replying to statements by labor
 leaders that the railroad suggestion tC
 abrogate the national agreements was part of a plot originating in Wal street to break down labor organiza tions. the report said that the record
 of the proceedings showed that the
 roads began their opposition imme
 diately after the transportation sys tenn was returned to private owner
 ship, when production was at its height, when the demand for labor il
 all lines exceeded the supply and be fore the so-called open shop move
 ment in other industries began"

Harding Still Silent Regarding
 Cabinet As Republican Leaders
 Continue To Offer Suggestions

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. .sFeb. 1S-The pow-wow of the Republican chiefs at the president-elects headquarters de- veloped no conclusive indications to- day in regard to selections for the three cabinet places remaining unas- signed.
 Neither Harding nor any of those who saw him would throw any fur ther light on the situation, although there were general expressions of con- fidenoe that the next few days would see the cabinet slate satisfactorily completed. Meantime, speculation about the commerce and labor port folios continued to center around a half dozen of those known to have been under consideration and a usual crop of guesses developed in regard to a probable choice for the secretary of the navy
 Those most prominent in gossip about the secretaryship of commerce were Herbert Hoover, of California, John Hays Hammond, of New York. and A. M Huston of Tennessee. while the names of James J. Davis, of Penn slyyania, and T. V. O'Conner, of New York, were heard most often as likely selections to head the labor depart
