RAIL HEADS ASSERT
WAGES MUST BE CUT
FOR SAKE OF PUBLIC
(Bv Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct 19.- "The asso-
citation of railway executives today
announced that it's members deplore
the disturbance to the morale of their
organization involved in threats OF
strike far more than they fear the
result of an attempt to carry out suci:
threats"
In statement given out by its
chairman, Thomas Dewitt Tyler, the
association declared that railroad
managements "deprecate the neces.
sity of reducing wages" and are not
seeking to place the whole burden oi
the present situation on labor"
Railroad owners, too, the statement
asserted, had made sacrifices and arc
mot making high charges against the
public on one hand, refusing on tbs
other to pay high wages to theiI
men"
The public" the statement contin
ued, is the real paymaster and the
public simply cannot pay rates which
are necessitated by present labor
costs
The statement ended with digest
of statistics on 1921 earnings of the
roads, tending to show that but foI
drastic reduction in expenditures fol
maintenance the roads would have
had an actual deficit of more thar
S70,000,0C0 for the first eight months

LAW OR CHAOS
Seen AS ISSUE
IN RAIL STRIKE
Only Question Now Whether
Brotherhoods or Govern
ment Shall Be Master, Says
Mark. Sullivan.
AUTHORITY IS FLOUTED
BY MARK SULLIVAN

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The crux
of this railroad situation is so clear
that one strong note should be
sounded loud enough to be heard
above all the clatter of controversy.
There was never a situation easier to
analyze. 1t all began last Friday.
Until that day" says the labor board,
there was little if any danger of a
railroad strike.
Now what was it that happened be-
tween noon of Friday and the sudden
wild alarm in the Sunday morning pa
pers? AS to this. too, there fortun
ately is indisputable evidence.
The union chiefs heard that the
railroad owners were going to apply
to the labor board to authorize a new
10 per cent reduction in wages Presi
dent Stone, of the Brotherhood of Lo
connective Engineers, admits in Sc
many words that this was the occa
! sion of the strike order.
They took advantage of an authori
zatlon for strike that the worker:
/ had voted them previously, but it wa;
only on Saturdays developments tha
/ they suddenly decided to use it. The,
acted within "a hours on the yer,
4 first 1ntimation that wage cut wa.
to be asked. They did not even wal
/ for the railroads TO make the applica
tion. They acted on what was no
much more than mere gossip.
lmpetuous Action
The very suddenness of the act i
a sufficient Indictment of it. Th
mere abruptness of the strike orde
is evidence of the rash and impetu
Gus state of mind of those who issuet
it.
! The violent haste was inconsisten
with wisdom. And the thing goe
deeper than that. The union chief
had a clear alternative provided b,
law. They had right to appeal t,
the labor board and proceed through
the orderly processes of law to
judgment which would not have bee]
handed down for many weeks, durin
which the public could have followe,
the rights and wrongs of the case
This alternative was not merely tn
right of the unions, but was thei
statutory duty.
The labor board is court set I'D b
!, act of congress to hear and decid
just such disputes The union leader
not only ignored this court but flouta
it. This is the heart of their offendins
That is the thing the public can No
afford to tolerate.
Board Loses Prestige.
Unhappily at this point a certai
amount of blame passed to the labo
board itself. What did it do when it

.PACTS WITH GERMANY,
AUSTRIA and HUNGARY
RATIFIED BY SENATE
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-The new
peace treaties with Germany, Austria
and Hungary were ratified by the
senate in a session last night, the
vote being &c to 20, or more than
the necessary two-thirds, while the
opposition on the Hungarian treaty
was reduced to II.
The action completed the admins
tration's immediate peace program,
but after the formal exchange of rati-
fications between the powers it is eX-
pected that diplomatic officers will be
appointed and normal relations fully
resumed through negotiation of trade
agreements and in other ways which
have not yet been announced.
Both Germany and Austria already
have accepted and ratified the treaties
and parliamentary action is expected
to be completed by Hungary at an
early date
Unexpected Margin.
Ratification by the United States
senate had been accepted as a fore
gone conclusion but the final vote
showed if anything, a larger margin
for the treaties than had been antici-
pated by some.
Fourteen Democrats supported rati-
fication on the final roll call, while
only two Republicans, Senators Borah
and LaFollette cast their votes against
! the treaties.
With the treaties disposed Of, the
senate was expected to resume con-
| sidera ton today of the tax revision
bill in the hope of disposing Of 1t
! before the end of the month.
Exchange of ratifications at Berlin
of the treaty of Berlin" finally estab-
! fishing peace between the United
/ States and Germany is to be the next
J step in ending the nations legal wal
| status. Following ratification last
night by the senate of the German and
also the Austrian and Hungarian
| peace treaties, the state department
today was in position to proceed with
| the last formalities.
Appointment of diplomatic officer
however, was not anticipated for sew
eral weeks at least.

wake of the swift destroyers to bear
greetings to the general even before
he set foot on the new world
