RAIL EXECUTIVES
REFUSE TO CONFER
(By Associated press.l

! CHICAGO, Feb. 1S-The Association
of Railway Executives at it's meeting
| today unanimously adopted the report
| of it's labor committee and passed reso-
] lutions refusing to enter into national
| conferences suggested by the employees
as a means of settling differences over
wages of unskilled labor, and working
conditions.
Concerning future action on the part
| of the executives. the committee report
simply advised them that the decision
| of the labor board in regard to rate of
pay for unskilled labor. relegates the
initiation of action upon this matter to
| the individual railways and their own
| employees
The executives denounced the en-
ployes' proposed conferences as a plan
| by labor leaders to bring about national
| ization of the railroads. Efficiency of
labor upon railroads was incompatible
with continuance of the strength and
growth of the consolidation of labor
unions represented by B. NJ Jewell,
| and his associates, the labor committee
report said.
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 organizations them
selves
IAN that we have been trying to do"
the report said, ''is to get the oppor-
tunity to deal with our own employees
so as to restore the efficiency of labor
on railroads and If possible avoid non
employment and defer serious wage re-
auctions. The leaders of the labor I'M
ions, 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 transportation system.
B. NJ. Jewell, chairman of the railroad
labor department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, on Thursday asked the
railroad labor board to refer the ma
tional agreements and the question of
wages of unskilled labor to a national
joint conference of railway heads and
representatives of the labor unions. At
ter referring to this demand and the
statement made by Frank p. Walsh be-
fore the board, that the unions might
find il necessary to make IAN earnest
effort to prevent congress- enacting into
law pending legislation for the financial
relief of the railroads.

bill had it's day in court, they said,

AMERICA RETIRES
FROM COMMISSION
1ax Associated Pressl

PARIS Feb. 1S.-The United states
government tomorrow will deliver to
the reparations commission a declar-
alton explaining the governments
withdrawal of its representative from
the commission.
The statement of withdrawal which
will be delivered by Roland w. Boy
den, of Beverly, Mass, who repre-
scented the United States at the Brus-
sells financial congress in 1920, and
who is now Withdrawn, will involve
also the departure of about twenty
other Americans who are on sub-com-
missions.
The statement to be presented will
say:
81 am instructed by my government
to announce the retirement of it's I'M
official representatives from the re
par ations commission. This decision
has been reached only after long hes
itation and careful consideration. All
representation upon the commission
was, in the beginning unofficial in
anticipation of ratification of the
treaty of Versailles by the signatory
powers.
The other powers nave ratlIled ana
their representation has long become
official. The United States has not
ratified, and. as time has passed, its
unofficial representation on the com
mission gradually has become anoma-
lous. :
MY government, under the forego-
ing conditions has felt itself unable
to cooperate with the allied powers at
Brussels and elsewhere in the prepar-
alton Of plans which seem to involve
a change in the treaty. 1t realizes
fully the great difficulty Of these
problems and recognizes the value of
unified action; but as it cannot at
present take part in such a discussion
or even express any views upon the
subject discussed. it feels that it Is
undesirable to retain even modified
representation on a commission that
is likely to be charged with the ex-
ecution of such plans.
MY government instructs me fur
Their to express it's sincere apprecia-
ton for the many courtesies which
the commission and its members have
shown the United States and its I'M
