deficiencies in railroad revenue
through pay cuts 10 the men should
be unaccompanied by direct evidence
that the railroad management in
tend TO bring about much needed
economies in general operation.
That conclusion reached at the re-
cent conference in New York be-
tween representatives Of the owners
OF railroad securities and officials OF
the railroad labor organizations. was
laid before President Harding by
Darwin p. Kingsley. president OF the
New York Life Insurance Co, and s
Davies Warheld, president OF the
National Association OF Owners OF
Railroad securities.
The President was told the rail-
road executives ascribe the present
unsatisfactory predicament OF the
roads to wages and working condi-
tions, while the representatives, OF
the men insist that the fault lies
largely with inefficient railway oper-
alton. As the result Of the diver
gent views there has been unneces-
sary delay, friction and a secrihce
OF the merits OF the whole question
to controversies over procedure.
with that utter lack OF co-ordina-
ton between railway managements
and the employees, Messrs. Kingsley
and Warfield said, many OF the rail-
roads are approaching bankruptcy.
They urged upon Mr.. Harding the
absolute necessity OF immediate ac-
ton and suggested. In justice TO the
public and the railroad manage
ments and railroad labor as well.
the executives and employees be call
ed into conference TO discuss differ
ences that are not composed on the
| individual roads.
In stating their position to the
! President. both men made Il plain
that the present attitude OF the
railroad arrangements was unten
able and would not solve the prob
lens Of the railroads and the pub
lie.

ACT ON STREET
At METUCHEN
To Keep After Freeholders -
Councilmen Also Discuss
Raise in Pay for Police.
BY Special Correspondents

BY Special Correspondent
MFTUCHEN. Jan. -1s-A meeting
Of the borough council was held in
the Borough hall last night and
two important subjects we're before
the members which took up most of
the meeting time. The councilmen
expressed their opinions on the
grading of lower Main street and
are very anxious to see some i'm
provement and some action taken
on this problem now before them.
The members who attended the
meeting OF the Board of Freehold
ers last week told of the progress
they had made with the members of
tibet county body. and said that the
matter had been referred to the
committee on streets of the board.
1t was stated that the freeho1ders
are willing to accept the grade
marks of the borough engineer with
The approval of County Engineer
Fox, and that the county engineer
would approve the figures given him
by the borough engineer. The
members of the council thought
that his was not sufficient and that
a better understanding should be
had between the Board Of Free
HOlQeTS ana themselves.
A motion Was made and passed
that the borough clerk get in touch
with the county engineer so that a
date could be set for him to accom-
pan ythe councilmen over this road
for the purpose of getting his opin-
ion on the grade marks. They want
the cooperation of the county
board and are determined to keep
the matter before them until some
thing is accomplished along this
line.
The councilmen decided to have
one or more members before the
county board at every meeting To
stimulate the interest OF the free
holders in this matter. They want
action as soon as possible. n be-
lieve that they are not getting the
full share of cooperation of the
freeholders. Councilman Klein will
appear before the Board of Free
holders on January 20. the next
meeting Of the board. Councilman
Clarkson will attend the following
meeting of the county board on
january 81. Members of the coun-
oil will continue to appear before
the board on this subject till some
definite action is taken by that body,
A motion was made and passed
that the borough clerk write a letter
to the Public Service Railway Com
pany asking them to set aside a sum
Of money in their budget for the fix
ing Of that part of the road which
comes under their jurisdiction. The
Public Service budget is made up
about February l., and the council
men want to go on record as having
told the company that they are go
ing to repair lower Main street.
The question of increasing the
pay of the present police force was
discussed, and it was the opinion OF
all the councilmen that the men,
bers of the force deserved the raise.
1t was shown that the borough was
paying very little .fo- protection and
that some steps should be taken to
compensate the persons who provide
protection to the people here. The
| force is small and the ground thai
must be covered is large in area
which necessitates much overtime
on the part of the members of the
force. 1t was shown that the CHIEF
of police was doing more than his
