Chicago, May 5.-Arguments
against the wage reduction proposals
for the railroad men were summed
up by B. M Jewell, president of the
railway employees department of
the American Federation of Labor.
He declared that for the board to
order wage reduction now would on
ly bring the disputes back before the
board for determination in the con-
troversy of redoubled bitterness and
have a condition of chaos in the
transportation service.
Negotiations now in progress on
the new working agreement to take
the place of those recently set aside
by the board could never result on
agreement before the day of judg-
ment" Mr. Jewell said.

car. Officer McCuiston got out and
stepped alongside the other car,
liquor dealers were in a Dodge car,
rear wheals equipped with Royal
Cord tires. The curtains were drawn
over the rear seats. When McGpiston
called them to STOP" one of the
three men pressed a pistol into the
officers breast and fired.
For a moment officer Oakes was
confused and this gave the ~theath
car a chance to gain some 6ead-
way. He followed along in a very
short interval, going down South
Forbis to dhe Summit avenue land
Church street intersection Here he
did not know which way to go, but
fortunately Clyde Cobb, in his StUde-
baker car, who had nearly been scol-
lided into by the death car was
able to direct the officer along Frisco
street. Officer Oakes jumped into the
big Studebaker and from then until
the driver of the death car" Was
quieted in death, the momentous
chase continued.
