-After conference of several days
in Chicago last week it was given out
unoffically that the, Association Of
Railway executives had given out in
formation to the effect that a reduction
of wages of railroad workers had been
agreed upon. But the outlook is that
there will be no reduction of railroad
wages without some fighting. w. G.

Railway Trainmen; W. S. Carter, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Engineers, and l.. i.
Sheppard, president of the Order of
Railway Conductors, made, this declar-
alton in formal statements at Clevc-
land, Ohio, last Saturday, A similar
declaration was made Thursday by
Warren S. Stone. grand chief Of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers.
All the brotherhood executives declare
that reports of decreases in the cost Of
living are not borne out by actual con-
ditions, but are the result Of propagan-
da; that the wages of railway employees
did not increase as the cost Of living
or as much and that railway men are
not receiving as high a standard Of
wages as are paid in many other in
dustries. Mr.. Lee asserted that, in his
opinion, "sonIe, if not the greater por-

STATES JOIN IN RATE PLEA
 WITH ARIZONA
Governor Campbell Meeting En- couragement in His Fight to Bring Down Determination as
 to Intermountain Freight Rates
(JournaI-Mlner capItai Bureau2

PHOENIX, Nov 19.-The interest and support of western, middle western and southwestern states have been enlisted by Governor Campbell
 in the fight being made against the application of the railroads to estab- fish lower rates to Pacific coast ter minals from eastern defined territor- ies contcmporaneously applied to in- tcrmediate points
 In event this rate adjustment IS al lowed or authorized by the interstate commerce commission it would have the unavoidable tendency to destroy all jobbing interests. and retard the growth and development of all com mercial and industrial enterprises ill the intermountain states. It was for this reason that the governor took a hand in the matter and appealed to the states which would be affected pointing out to them the menace to their interests and asking their CO., operation at the hearing of the mat ter to be held in New Orleans, Janu- ary Il, 1922.
 Governor Neff of Texas has ad- viscd that a representative will be present on that occasion and voice opposition to the making of the order requested by the transconti- mental carriers. Favorable responses indicating that the railroad commis- sions of the states of Iowa, North Dakota, Wyoming and Nebraska are alive to the danger threatening them have been received by the governor, and if the ruling is put in effect ii will be done over the combined op- position of large group of states.

PAVING SUIT
 HEARING ON

Hearing of evidence in the suit of the Southern Surety company against the city of Prescott over delivery of S5,000 worth of Mt. Vernon street improvement bonds was begun in su- perior court yesterday.
 The disputed point appeared to be the alleged agreement that part of the price of the pavement of the well known thoroughfare should be recog- nized or not recognized as bonus for the construction provided it were done at the well known disadvantages of freezing winter weather. The company which is the plaintiff was obliged to take over the work when the Southwest Contracting company, the successful bidder, was unable to proceed owing to financial difficult ties. The improvement was finally completed under the bonding com paHy's own contractors, Miller and White of Yuma.
