CHICAGO, June Railroad ex-
ecutives here today declared that
they were disappointed in the de-
cision OF the railroad labor board
cutting the wages of all classes of
railroad employees IL per cent and
slashing $400,OO0,000 from railroad
payrolls annually.
1--WE had hoped that the decision
would wipe out in its entirely the
$600,000,000 increase of last year, -
said President H. E. Byram of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road.
1--WE will have to find out how much
this decrease will reduce our operat-
ing costs before attempting to pre-
dict anything about rate decreases to
follow this wage dut. This is a step
in the right direction, however. and
will help business and unemployment
on the railroads.
Decision Affects Two Million.
The decision OF the board affects
approximately 100000 railroad
employees. It provides for cuts in
every class Of railroad labor from
engineers to common labor. Approx
imately 100000 maintenance Of way
employees are given wage reductions
Of 8hc per hour.
'The decision provides for reduc-
tions of about IL per cent in present
wages" the board announced. "Be-
cause Of the fact that all employees
in service of carriers are not in
cluded, 1t is difficult to estimate the
actual amount of decrease, but II
applied to all employees Of all class

$400,00O.000. General reductions in

The British air ministry was in sole
charge of the craft when she was
wrecked. She had not been turned

was being 'ade under the direction
of British Air Marshal E. NJ. Maitland

All the stories agreed that the
ZR-2 first buckled and then blew up.
There was no sign of smoke, fire or
explosion until after the crafts back
broke and she began to sag down
wards.
All of the survivors emphasized the
suddenness with which the calamity
occurred. This Accounted for the
heavy loss of life. Elaborate precau-
tions had been taken to provide safe
guards for the men on board and
there was an individual parachute for
each. But so quickly did the Orders
break, and the ship explode that the
men were caught unawares and only
a very few were able to take ad-
vantage of the parachute.

took the blazing wreckage less than
two minutes to reach the surface of

splash. a squirt of smoke and steam
who had been held spellbound by the
tragic and spectacular sight, gave a
cry of horror.

American victim was at a mortuary

Lieut.. Little was identified by a fell

while Identification Of Lieut. Esterly's
body was effected thru a wallet found

Harbor officials today expressed
doubt that many bodies would be re-

Most of the American members of
the crew of the Inflated dirigible ZR-2
were killed by the explosion which
followed the buckling and swapping of

Lieut.. A. H. Wanns in command of
the craft as navigating officer at the
time of the disaster in a statement to
the Associated Press today.
Lieutenant Wann said the ship had
run beautifully at sixty knots an hour
and that he had reduced the speed to
fifty knots when there came a Vio-
