LABOR WILL FIGHT
WAGE REDUCTIONS
NATION FACES RAILWAY STRIKE
AS RESULT OF PROPOSED
CUT IN WAGES.
Announced Purpose of Big Eastern
Lines to Slash Schedules Causes
Unrest Among Workers Which
May Result in Strikes.

WASN'T stOn.-Railroad strikes which
may assume nationwide proportions
are likely if the announced plans of
the Pennsylvania, New York Central
and other lines TO make wholesale
wage reductions are carried into eff
feet, leaders of railroad labor organi-
cations declared here Thursday.
Officials OF the American Federation
of Labor however. viewed the situa-
ton with somewhat less alarm. Any
threat to force wage reductions with
out consent of the railway labor board
1t was said at the federation head
quarters, is nothing more than a bluff.
Officials of organized labor agree
that the contemplated wage cut, if put
into effect, would be nothing short of
defiance of law. A vice president of
one of the big railroad brotherhoods
said:
1.-THE Pennsylvania railroad is play
ing with a dangerous situation. They
know that under the transportation act
they have no legal right to make wage
reductions unless they obtain the con-
sent to the railway labor board"
From official labor sources it was
learned that Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, intends to seek an early con
ference with President Harding on
measures to halt the wage reduction
movement and avert the series of
strikes which Mr.. Gompers believes
will be the net result
The New York Central railway on
March 10 announced that, beginning
April 16, il would revise downward |
wages of approximately $4,000 en-
ployees.
Cuts in wages affecting 275,00 en-
Dloyees, from the president down, were
Wednesday by the Penn
sylgania.
Operating on five-day week basis,
rom president down, is the plan of
he Erie. Unskilled labor reduced in
wages from 40 to 80 cents an hour in
ome localities; lesser reductions. in
'thers. Mechanical forces cut 40 per
ent in number; $4,000 employees af
ected.

HOPES TO PREVENT STRIKE
President Asks Packing House EN-
ployees and Eployers to Confer.

Washington.-ln an endeavor TO
avert the threatened strike of packing
house employees, President Harding
on Friday asked the employees and
employers to join with the depart
ment of labor in settling the dispute
over the reduction of wages and
lengthening of hours TO be put into
effect by the packers next Monday.
After conference with the presi-
dent. in which the plan of action was
evolved, Secretary Of Labor Davis
sent identical kilograms to the pack
ers and Secretary Lane to the Meat
Cutters union, requesting that each
side appoint two Representatives to
assist the department of labor in max
ing an investigation such as would
promote a peaceful settlement of the
controversy.

region of the Ruhr valley, with Essen,

The allied ultimatum was foreclosed
apparently with reluctance by the Brit

pear regretful, while the Germans left
Lancaster house plainly depressed, to
take their train for home.
France will furnish the bulk of the
forces for the new march into Ger

men will be only large enough to show
her solidarity with the allies, who wait
with the deepest interest for any sign
from Washington of the American gov

Two long sittings of the conference
threshed out the final break before
Marshal Foch and Field Marshal Will
son wrote kilograms ordering comman-
lers at the front to execute orders al

foreign secretary, presented an alter

Rebuilding of Cabinet.

Berlin--With the recall of the Ger

Germany interrupts diplomatic rela

element-the conservative extremists
| actually considers that the nation IS
in a state of war. Generally the gov

demonstration of protest.
DR.. Walter Sinons the German for
eign minister, IS not expected to re-

was expected that he would resign
when his couDterproposals failed, but
now the people of all parties are solid
ly united in supporting the govern
ment, following the ententes occupa-
ton of the Ruhr coal ports
However, there is considerable dis
cpsson concerning the rebuilding of
the cabinet. One proposal is for a
small supercabinet similar to Great
Britain's wartime cabinet, with
George Helm, the president of the
Bavarian peasant party and called the
uncrowned king of Bavaria, as pre-
mier. Such a change would please
the nationalist who want to see the |
present coalition, which is bourgoisle |
In its sympathies, grow more conser-
vative.
Until Wednesday evening Berlin did
not experience the slightest excite
nent. In the morning a patrol was
stationed in front of the French en-
,assy and guards were increased in
he vicinity of the Brandenburg gate.
The German is working off his pas
ions against the entente by talk. How
.ver, the stock market has been
realty affected. Business men con-
ider that the entente's invasion will
esult in nothing, and they believe
he occupation will end with the re-
umption of peaceful negotiations
