Several speakers denounced the Ku

RAIL MEN SEE PLOT
IN BANKRUPT PLEA
Walsh Says He Will Call At
terbury to Prove Big Lines
Are in Conspiracy.
READY TO ARGUE WAGES
Unions Contend Labor Board
Lacks Jurisdiction Over
National Agreement.

CHICAGO. Feb. 9.-Frank p. Walsh,
who has been retained by railroad en-
ployees. conferred here tonight with
President r. NJ. Jewell of the railway
employees department of the American
Federation of Labor. preparing for to-
morrow's reply before the United States
Railroad Labor Board to the railroad
executives plea for abrogation of the
national agreement.
Mr.. Walsh outlining his arguments
against the executives contention, said :
we will attempt to prove that the
board has no Jurisdiction whatever in
matters touching financial conditions of
the railroads. That matter belongs en-
tirely TO another body set up by the
same act that created this board"
Mr.. Walsh repeated his charge made
before coming West that the wage con-
troversy was a conspiracy on the part
Of Wall Street financiers to break
unionism." He charged that this plot
was engineered by "a small group OF
Wall Street financiers, whose funds, he
asserts. controlled 76 per cent. OF the
country's railroad mileage.
Mr. Walsh said that he had not made
up his mind yet about calling j. +. Nor
Gan and other financiers before the
board. but that IL the board held 1t had
jurisdiction TO near the Hnanciai suins-
ency plea OF the executives he would de-
nand that W. w. Atterbury o. the Penn
sy,vania lines be summoned for cross
examination By himself on his statement
that the railroads were facing bank
ruptcy.
II the unions won their plea OF lacs
Of Jurisdiction. Mr. Walsh said, then Ia
unions would await the executives mex
move. He asserted the unions woul'
prove that the bankruptcy plea was 10
sound and that "at its bottom there is
plot against all unionism and for re
establishment OF the open shop He de
