BROTHERHOODS
TO FIGHT CUT
Chiefs of Three Railroad Orga-
nizatiOns Will Fight Pro-
posed Reductions.
lRx Associated Pressl

CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.-Heads of
three big railroad brotherhoods in for
NAL statements here tonight said the
railroad men of the country will not
peacefully submit" to the wage reduc-
tions, which Chicago dispatches say
the railroads will seek from the Uni
ted States railway labor board in a
petition to be presented Monday.
w. G.. Lee, president of the Broth
erhood of Railway Trainmen: w. S.
Carter. president of the brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, and L. E. Sheppard, president Of
the Order of Railway Conductors,
made this declaration in formal state
ments A similar declaration was
made Thursday by Warren ). Stone,
grand chief of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers.
All the brotherhood executives de-
clare that reports of decreases in the
cost of living are not borne out by
actual conditions, but are the result of
propaganda; that the wages Of rail-
road employees did not increase as
rapidly as did the cost of living or
as much; and that railroad 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,
''some. if not the greater portion Of
the business depression has been
brought about solely for the purpose
of prejudicing the public in the in
terest of reduction in wages gener-
ally"
Mr.. Carter declared that 'notwith-
standing the wage increases made by
either the labor board or the railroad
administration, it can be shown that
because of the great increase in the
efficiency of railroad employees there
has been no practical increase in wage
costs compared with product"
Mr. Sheppard asserted that ito ad-
init that in this country of ours, it is
necessary to make an onslaught on
labor at this time after all the coun-
try has done for the railroads is alb
solutely American"

Four Leading Central American
States Prepare to Form

TREATY is PREP JARED
Nicaragua is Only One of Quar-
tet Which Has Failed to
Sign Pact.
(sy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Notwith-
standing that Nicaragua did not sign
the treaty negotiated at San Jose,
Costa Rica, early this month provid-
ing for the creation of a Central
American republic, ratification by the
congresses of the four signatory coun-
tries is expected in time to have the
new federation come into existence
before next Sept. 10, according TO an
announcement tonight by DIR. Julio
Bianchi, the Guatemalean minister
here. Under the treaty Guatemala,
Nicaragua, Salvador and Costa Rica
would be merged under the new fed
GRAFTON. Nicaragua. it was explained,
withheld her signature because she
did not wish to surrender certain
rights, especially in reference to the
treaty making power, but a provision
was inserted in the pact to permit
her admission at any time. Under the
text of the treaty, which would ulti-
mately create a republic of more than
100000 people, was made public to-
night by DR.. Bianchi. In general. it
plroVides for government modelled
on the lines of the constitution of the
United States with three separate
branches, the executive, legislative
and judicial although the executive is
modelled more on the Swiss system.
A constitution embodying these provi-
sions would be framed at a convention
to be called when three of the sigma
tory countries have ratified the treaty.

Secretary of State Says His De-
partment is Considering
All the Facts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The attack
on the proposed agreement between ia
pan and the United States as to the
status of Japanese in this country. which
wfS made today by Senator johnson OF
California, was characterized by Secl e.
tary Colby in a statement tonight as
proceeding upon quite erroneous as
sumption of the purposes of the state
department.
In his statement tonight. Secretary
Colby said that Senator Johnson was
mot uninformed as to the course of
these conversations and | am there
fore surprised that he should feel called
upon to throw himself into a defensive
posture against dangers which he de-
scribed, but which / am informed, he
has been assured do not present them
selves.
1.-THE state department is charged with
the duty of pursuing these discussions
with sober regard to the facts the
secretary's statement continued, land
consideration for every interested point
of view.
II am not speaking in any spirit of
criticism of Senator Johnson, with whom
have long had the most agreeable and
friendly relations, but he must know
as member of the foreign relations
committee of the senate that even if
the fear to which he gives expression
that the state department is moving too
rapidly in the direction of a treaty, that
a treaty can have no effect without its
submission in due course to the senate
and under the latter's practice, its min
ute examination by the senator's COM
mittee.''

ing wave of discomfort over the new

The upshot of it all was the virtual

hare-up from all sides, the bin was

No General Fight.
There was no general ATTEMPT 10

sought to register violent opposition
TO the manner of its framing. Not
all or the members were willing to go
that far. for many of those who OBJ
Jected strenuously to some of its pro-
VISIONS were unwilling to seize upon
technical grounds for its destruction.
one member, however. attacked item

out authority of law.
The attack served as warming of
what may be expected next weel,
when the house begins consideration

rious thought as to whether the sun
ply measures could be put through
before the close of the session on

Former Procedure.
heretofore the Diplomatic bill has
been prepared by the foreign affairs
committee in intimate touch with
needs and requirements of the service
The same rule applied to other com
mittees but under the new system
the ranking republican and democrat
ic members of the foreign affairs com
mittee, for example. were transferred
to consolidated appropriation com
mittee of 30 members
This method virtually eliminated the
chairman of the committee so far as
he was authorized to take anv per-
sonal part in supply bills prepara-
ton. The republican member trans
ferred became head of the particular
subcommittee on appropriations,
which tended to make him a more
powerful figure on the floor than his
former chairman. Jealous of their old
powers, some chafrmen and commit
teemen, it was said made no attempts
to conceal animosity or desire to take
whack at the bill
