with the cost of living and with
wages paid in other industries was
continued by western railroads to-
day in the railroad labor board
hearing into the requests of near

Representatives of several roads
which were applying for reduc-
tions for unskilled labor only, in
said that they would
follow the lead of some of the
larger roads by asking for lower
pay for skilled workers as soon as
the present cases were settled.
II. T. Dick, counsel for the Chi
cago & Eastern Illinois railroad,
now in the hands of receiver,
was the first witness to make this
]. c. Dickinson, counsel for the

by the Northwestern, the Santa

his road.

ager of the Los Angeles G. Salt
Lake railroad, which operates

statistics similar to those prevI-
ously offered were the Denver g.

country affiliated with the Nation
al Farmers Union gathered here
today for a three days conference
to discuss various problems affect
ing their welfare. The meeting
was called by Charles S. Barrett,
president of the union.
In opening the conference, Mr..
Barrett urged the creation of a
joint congressional committee to
inquire into and suggest remed-
ial measures for the agricultural
situation.
Money and credit" have been
denied farmers despite the fact
that more money was available in
1920 than in any previous year."
Mr.. Barrett said, adding:
ut is a notorious fact also that
agricultural organizations have
not been afforded by the transpor-
tation system of the country the
facilities given corporations to dis
tribute the products of the farm. :"
Mr.. Barrett urged immediate
enactment of "co-operative en-
abling laws" in a generous spirit
and without nullifying reserva-
tions."
