ROADS in NORTH
SEEK 10 PER CENT
SLASH IN WAGES
Rail Board Intimates Re-
quest for Reduction Will
Not Be Acted Upon for
Some Time.

New York, Nov. 12.-Immediate
action will be taken to secure re-
duction in the wages of train and
yard service employees, approximating
10 per cent on all lines north of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east
of the Mississippi, it was announced
after meeting of presidents of the
lines involved
Reductions, according to l.. f.
Loree, president of the Delaware &
Hudson Railroad, will be in line
with the decision reached by the.
railroad executives in Chicago on
Oct Ia. The wage cuts will effect
approximately 100000 men.
This action, it was stated. is ex-
pected to create a technical dispute
or controversy with the employees,
the notices stating the cut will be
effective 80 days from date of post
Ing. If the men do not acceae, the
matter will then be carried to the
railroad labor board with a request
for an early hearing. IN prepare
ton for the anticipated hearing,
statisticians of the association Of
the railroad executives are now on
gagged in working out detailed state
ments as to cost of living and pre-
vailing wages.
Similar action to that taken by
the rail presidents here Thursday
will soon be taken by the southern
and western railroads, one of the
executives said. Detailed figures as
to the actual number of employees
who would be affected in that event
were not available, but there are
said to be approximately 100000
in tie west and 100000 in the
south
Since July /, it was said, between
10000 and 10000 have been added
to the various lines.
Chiacgo, Nov. 12.-If the appli-
cation for reduction in the wages
OF train and yard service employees
on eastern roads is PLACED before
the United States Railroad Labor
Board, it probably would not be
considered for some time, 1t was in
dicated at the boards offices when
memhers were Informed Of the in
tention of such roads TO. seek a 10,
per cent reduction.
The boards decision not to con
slider further wage reductions for
any class Of employees until dis
putes involving working rules and
agreements for that class have been
settled will be followed, board mem
bers said, and they asserted there
were 40 or 30 such cases pending
for train and yard service men

De VALERA ASKED
BY LLOYD GEORGE
FOR A CONFERENCE
Dublin Hears That Sim Fein
Leader Has Been Invited
to London.

DUBLIN. Jan. "a report is cur
rent here 30 the effect that efforts
are being made TO bring about an
interview between Premier Lloyd
George and De Valera Just where
the meeting is TO take place, II It IS
arranged. 4ias not been stated. but it
is believed that London IL likely to be
agreed upon.
The basis for the rrmored meeting
rests largely upon a statement ma d e
recently by the British Premier that
he was willing and ready to discuss
Irish unfairs with any person who
could act with authority for the Re
publican Party, but that the diff
Guilty had been that all those who ap-
peared upon the scene had not the
requisite qualification. De Valera is
in a position to talk matters over be-
cause he is the elected head Of the
Dali Eireann, but 1t is admitted that
he will have a good deal Of trouble in
getting the radicals within the party
to accept a concilntory attitude
A meeting Of the Sim Fein at
which this point win be brought up
is believed to be near at hand and
the followers OF De Valera are pre-
pared TO take up the issue.
In we'll informed circles it was
stated to-day that an invitation had
beep sent to De Valera already ask
ng him to go to London for a meet
ing with IAoyd George, but this hes
not been confirmed as yet.
1t is said that 1t has been made
plain in the invitation that the seces-
sion Of Ireland from the empire will
not be tolerated under any circum
stances and that listers right 10
separate treatment must be recog
nized. In going to London. it IS
| understood that De Valera would
have to accept these two conditions.
! Otherw,se, 1t is pointed out. his
mission would end in failure.
