EXECUTIVES PLAN
 GENERAL RAILWAY WAGE REDUCTIONS
Meeting at Chicago to Con- sider Steps Toward Wage
 Cuts Is Convened. AGREEMENTS OPPOSED Carriers Seeking to Abolish Regulations Standardizing
 Working Conditions.

CHICAGO, Jan 2S.-Reprcsenta- tives of several large railroads met with labor committee of the Ameri- can Association of Railway EXecu- tives today to consider steps look ing toward general wage reductions for railroad workers.
 The railway executives also are seeking abolishment of the national agreements between the railroads and the various classes of their em- ployees, standardizing the latter ; rules and working conditions throughout the nation, which were instituted within six months before the end of Federal control, and which, they say. should not in the interests of honest, efficient and cconmical management be contin- ued longer under private operation
 "The only parties who are fully qualified to consider such regula- tions are the individual manage ments and their employees, the car ricrs contend. Their opposition to the national agreements are outlined as follows
 Objections Listed.
 1-They are ra-restrictive and therefore prevent the "honect, effl- cient and economical management demanded by the transportation act;
 2.-Thc variable conditions in dir fc1ent sections of the country make the universal application of their provisions impracticable.
 3.-The existing rules the con- t:nuation of which is proposed by the men. are capable of various con struCtions;
 4-The existing agreements pro- vide that the rules contained therein si all apply to all employees of any particular craft regardless of the department of the railroad in which the man is employed, thus leading to division of jurisdiction and a conflict in the working rules ap- Llicable to employees engaged in the same work.
 Piece Work Stopped.
 o.-l iC eAlStlLS dSl cti-itilto hdN' v destroyed acknowledged efficient and economical practices such as the piece work system for regulating rates of pay.
 6.-The railroads must have relief from the rules controlling the em- ployment of men, which are so re- strictivc as to prevent them from obtaining a sufficient number of em- ployees in certain departments, thus interfering with output and causing delay to the movement of traffic.
 7.-The agreements contain many rules which provide for payment for work not performed, and thereby cause many millions of dollars oi unnecessary experse annually.

The combination proved too much for
the Redlegs The Philiies scored four
runs in the fifth after the rain storm

Luque. who was doing the hurting
for the Reds, worked in fine style in
the first part of the game before the

TRAIN CARPENTER
ASH GEORGES were
FAMOUS BILLIARDIST
nv Associated Pressl

MANHASSETT, n. Y. June 20-A
question oft asked at the training
camp of Georges Carpenter is-"Why
doesn't he let out his punches and
drop few sparring partners" This
query probably was prompted by the
nature of the work down at the Demp
sey camp in Atlantic City. where Jaci,
has bowled over quite a few of his
workout opponents.
Only. once during his training has
Georges really showa all his strength
and speed. This was in the sparring
session with Big Joe Jeanntte two
weeks ago. Carpenter had been shaG-
ow boxing and doing gymnastics for
about an hour and was perspiring
freely His smile was broader than
usual and he had remarked earlier in
the day that he would like to do
some real work
Jeanette was a mark that day for
the Frenchman's flying right hand.
and after 80 seconds of sparring, he
caught one on the jaw and fell heay-
! lily to the ring floor. Georges begged
! his pardon and slowed down. The
| flash has not been repeated. There is
nothing of the spectacular in the spar
| ring sessions. The challenger seems
to be content to swap punches and do
lot of covering up and getting away
Reason No Secret.
I The reason for this sort of training
| is no longer a secret. From the camp
/ has come the information that Georges
is being trained something after the
! fashion of a chess player or a bill
| HARDEST.
| Explaining what he meant by this,
the informant, who asked that his
identity be withheld, said:
Willie Hoppe knows all about the
game of billiards. He knows he can
make the most difficult of shots, and
doesn't start six weeks before match
and practice right up to the last mo-
ment. He just gets himself at a GER
trains to develop his powers of en-
thains to develop his powers of eli
durance and his nerves.
/ Knows His Game.
i "A chess player is somewhat SINH
lar. He doesn't summon all the good
chess players in the country and play
practice matches with them, does he?
No, he knows his game, and he trains
like Hoppe does for billiard match.
Georges Carpenter has been in
the boxing game for IA years and he
knows what he is about He knows,
too, what he can do. So is there any
reason in the world why he should
! fill his camp with sparring partners
and slam away at them every day:

| the Nusbaum sign in left field. The
/ ball cleared the fence by at least three
/ feet. Reddinghaus also contributed Z
/ homer on a long hit to left center.
Real Stickwork.

ed with a four hit game but Justice
misjudged two hard hit flies to centel
! field that went over his head for
two Dagger. a triple. He made VI
for these misplays by connecting fo
three safe blows. Tw~ of his hit!
were bunts that he beat out by plac
ing them so well along the third bas,
line. Every man on the team connect
ed for at least one hit and LogaI

It's needless to comment at any
