NO GENERAL WAGE
CUT CONTEMPLATED
FOR RAIL employees
Chairman Cuyler States That
Conference Not Called For
That Purpose

Chicago. ILL.,, Feb. ia general re-
duction in wages of railway employees
is not being considered by tho Assoc
iation OF Railway Executives which
represents 90 per cent OF the trsckngc
OF the country. according to a state
mcnt issued Friday night by Thomas
Dewitt Cuyler. chairman OF the as
sociation.
Mr. Cuylcr's a'atcmcnt came in re-
sponsc to reports circulated in railroad
aud union circles that the meeting of
railway executives which he called for
February Is, would discuss plans for
a general wage reduction on all roads.
Such a proposition has never come be-
fore the association or its labor COM
mIttcc, Mr.. Cuylcr said.
U.kiiIcd Labor Wage
The executives will meet February
is TO discuss means OF getting the
question of "a revision OF wages OF un-
skilled labor legally before the board
which ruled on February 10. that IL
could not act on the roads plea for
abroEation or the national government
and for wage scale revision for un-
skilled labor which was asked because
OF tho financial condition OF the rail-
roads.
Matters of finances belonged before
tho Interstate commerce commission
the board held. Mr.. Cuyler's state
mcnt follows in part:
This meeting February 1S has
boon called to give the executives OF
tho railways opportunity to receive
report from it's labor committee re-
gardinS developments since tho last
general meeting of the association was
held. Tho subject OF a general re-
duction OF railway wages has not been
considered by the association or its
labor committee and will not be sub
ject OF consideration of the meeting
February is.
"The railway labor board In its de-
cision on February 10 held that 1t could
not take any action on the labor COM
mittee's su-~estion that n reduction
he made at once in the wages OF un-
skilled labor because conferences had
not boon held and controversy de
vclopcd between the employees and the
railways which would not enable tho
hoard legally TO take jurisdiction Of
this subject"
It d expected that considcrat tion
would he given at the meeting In
Chicago. February IS as to what steps
should be taken by individual railways
to get tho question Of revision of the
wages .of unskillcd labor properly be-
foro the board. The labor committee
will also report TO the association re
garding the present status of tho pro-
cccdlngs before the labor board con-
corning the national agreements.
In the meantime the labor side is

shooters cavorted more than merrily
on the floor of the vast lobby of the
Hotel Baltimore and even on the
streets. Bottles of corn whiskey, col
loquially known as white lightning, "
stood conspicuously in the centers OF
these gambling rings. Not even the
widest spectacles of open saloon days
could compete with this occasion. 1t
goes without saying that. all this went
on with open connivance of city and
federal authorities. 1t is significant
that on day after convention closed
the press reported an announcement

the prohibitory law would be strictly

period came on the closing night,
when at 2:30 in the morning q free
