GAP W,pE'NEp

Chicago, Oct. I5-The gap of indus
trial difficulties between the nations
railroads and their employees was wild
ened last night when the roads an.
nounced today they would seek new
reduction in employees wags and then
fatly rejected a request from the
unions that the matter be postponed
temporarily. At the same time the
roads announced that while future
wage reductions would result in lower
freight and passenger rates, to change
the present rates without further wage
cuts would throw them into bank
ruptcy.
The position of the roads that
freight rates could not be cut unless
wages were further reduced was made
known following meeting of the as
sociation of railway executives called
to consider possible rate reductions.
At this meeting, request from the
unions that committees of five from
each side confer was accepted. AT
the conference held last night union
leaders asked reconsideration OF their
request of last July that II IL per-
cent wage reduction granted by the
labor hoard be not put into effect i'm
mediately, that no further wage re-
ductions be sought at present and
! that no change be made in the over
/ time pay rate This request was re-
! fused by regional conferences OF the
roads at that time.

requests be reconsidered, the rail
