Chicago. Jan. 3l.-War has bro

OF the republican national committee
between the friends of National
Chairman Will H. Hays of Indiana
and A. T. Hert OF Kentucky, who
vas the manager of the western
campaign in 1916. The situation has

that neither of the republican leaders

Of President-Elect Harding.
This is the information, at least,
that has arrived in Chicago, fresh
from inside sources that leads di-
rcctly to the incoming president.
Friction is said to have started
when the national chairman let it
be known that he did not care to
become postmaster general and take
on the active political genera1ship
OF the new administration. The re-
port indicates he preferred to be

for attorney general. has become
acute and that the forces of Mr..

ton that is closest to Mr.. Harding
has been thrown against Chairman
Hays.
A situation las arisen, it is
claimed, that now prevents the nomi-

and Mr.. Hert TO cabinet seats. The
suggestion made Immediately after
the election that Senator Harry S.
New of Indiana be made postmaster

ton of Mr.. Harding's difficulty.

Are Facing
Bankruptcy
Immediate Abrogation of
Wartime Agreements Asked
of Labor Board by Asso-
ciated Executives.
Says Wages Must Be Cut
BY The Associated Press.

Chicago. Jan. 3l.--Bankrup,cy
threatens the railroads OF the United
States unless they arc assured I'M
Grating expenses, the railroad labor
board was told today by the Asso-
citation OF Railway Executives. Gen.
! w. w. Atterbury. chairman OF the
labor committee OF the roads organ,-
cation, made the prediction.
>The railroad executives assured
the federal officials that it :here was
immediate abrogation of the war
time national agreements involving
working rules and conditions they
would not seek a reduction of base
wages for at least three months after
the order becomes effective, saying
the interval would be used to test
out the efficacy of economies which
might be instituted free from the
limitations of present agreements.
Must Reduce Wages.
Ultimately, however, it was stated.
there would be need for reduction
in basic wages if the cost Of opcrat-
ing the road is to be cut to point
where rates may be reduced.
Many railroads are not now earn
ing, and with present operating
costs and traffic have no prospect OF
earning. even their bare operating
expenses" said General Atterbury
This leaves them without any net
return and unable to meet their fixed
charges"
He said that the emergency might
be met either by an advance in
freight and passenger rates or a re-
duction in operating expenses. add
ing:
with declining prices and wages
in industry and agriculture the
country demands that the solvency
of the railroads must be assured by
a reduction in operating expenses
and not by further advance in
rates"
Board Can Aid Roads.
THE labor board can prevent this
catastrophe" Mr.. Atterbury said.
by declaring that the national
agreements. rules and working cor
ditions coming over from the war
period are terminated at once; that
the question OF reasonable and
economical rules and working con-
ditions shall be remanded to ne
gotiation between each carrier and
its own employees, and that as the
basis for such negotiations. the
agreements. rules and eMsxking con,
ditions i'll efcc. on each railroad, q,
Of December 81, 1917, shall be te-
established"
Asks for Relief.
Conditional upon the abrogation OF
the national agreements by the labor
board, the roads ask in addition that
the basic rates for unskilled labor,
fixed at SO to 4Sh cents per hour in
the award of July. 1920, be i,nmedi-
ately retraeted. The plea is made
that inasmuch as rates for unskilled
labor in other indus tries have been
greatly reduced since the award be-
came effective, the higher scale on
the railroads works to the disadvan-
ia &c of other employers and "bears
with grave injustice upon the great
body of our farmers"
The appeal is concluded with the
declaration that "in our judgment,
unless the proposed measures be TAX
Ell promptly by your board, a situa-
ton will shortly develop in which or
der1y procedure will become entirely
impossible
