Tieup is Threatened.

CHICAGO, Oct. 14.--U. PA
tieup of the nations railroad system
October both loomed as possibility
today. Rail workers hurled an ulti-
matum at the employers by deciding
to strike October 30 unless the execu-
tives agree to open negotiations to
better wages and working condition,
with the union heads.
The railroad executives, meeting
here defied the most powerful labor
organizations in the nation by pro-
ceeding to slash wages In face of
strike. According to union heads, all
the men are not to be called out sim
ultaneously. The nations transporta-
tion system has been divided into ten
groups for strike purposes. One
group will be called out on the strike
day, then If the management Of the
roads refuse to negotiate, the next
group will be called out until all ten
have quit, tieing up the nations
roads, until two million workers are
idle.
Union Men Act Together.
All union men will act together In
a crisis, the leaders decided, thus
welding the big brotherhoods with
their associated crafts. A strike vote
was taken in protest against the IL
percent wage cut which took place
July first, on orders from the United
States railroad labor board. Union
leaders said then they would make no
effort to strike unless further threats
were made against the mems pay en-
velopes With the unemployment
conference arguing wages must fur
ther come down 80 that freight rates
may drop, union heads are preparing
club to hold over the roads heads
to prevent such an action. Rail ex-
ecutives plan to ask the interstate
commerce commission to cut freight
rates after the railroad board has act
ed on the proposal to cut wages.

Steady depreciation of the
Bulgarian leva is causing anxiety in
state circles and the government ha
taken coercive measures to stop all
speculation in exchange. Heavy fines
and even Jail sentences will be i'm

The Bulgarian leva before the war
was worth about the same as the

American dollar. During the war the
dollar at one time had a purchase
