to alleviate the critical financial con-
dition OF the railroads President
Harding conferred yesterday for
more than two hours with ChE:'r IN
Clark Of the Interstate Comm 'e
Commission and Chairman Barton -
the Railway Labor Board.
The discussion revolved around the
effect of the business depression on
volume of transportation, operating
expenses Of the carriers and feasible
economies and the proposed reduc-
tion of wages and OF freight rates.
Chairman Clark Informed the
President that any further increase
of rates would only stifie commerce
without producing additional reve-
nue., and that a reduction Of rates is
out OF the question until operating
expenses are curtailed.
Roads May Collapse.
A high official of the administrs-
tion declared yesterday that in the
event business did not improve gem
orally within the next six months, 4
great many railroads would be in
the hands of receivers by July /.
which would be equivalent to gov
crnment operation.
The conference closed without
plans for other meetings OF the
same character. and nothing in the
way Of joint action by the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the Eail-
road Labor Board TO meet the exist
ing situation is contemplated

sion which he has called for April

WOMEN AROUSED
. BY JURY EXCLUSION
Leaders Here Insist Vote Car
ried With 1t Right to
Act at Trials
WOULD AMEND LAW S

Women leaders here today were
stirred profoundly by n ruling OF
Judge Koch. at Pottsville, that under
the Pennsylvania law women are ineli-
gible to serve on iurics. All voiced tho
conviction that members Of their sex
should act as jurors.
With this information. word came
from Harrisburg that Senator Barnes,
of Wayne county. today introduced in
the Senate n bill requiring separate
court accommodation for women. "
is explained that in many court houses
often there Is no provision for women
jurors and usually. If there is such
provision. t is inadequate.
The ruling excluding women from
jury service was made last night on
motion OF an attorney who raised tho
point TINT men only are eligible as
Jurors under the law Of this state.
Judge Koch upheld this view and or
dcrcd the withdrawal of two women
from the jury trying the case. lie gave
no detailed reasons for the decision.
Added Importance is attached to th'
ruling because n petition is pending
in the Pottsvllc court on the entire
question of womcn'S eligibility as jurors
under tho nineteenth amendment. The
petition was filed BY Miss Anna Boyer,
Pottsvillc school tcac.cr. who asked
the court to strike her name from the
jury list.
Courts Must Decide
Mrs. J. Willis Martin. wife of Pres
idcnt Judge Martin, Of Common Pleas
| Court No. >, and n member of the OK
ccutive committee of the Republican
womcn's committee, said that despite
women's willingness to fulfill their cit
izenship obligations. the question mus
remain one for the courts to deter
mine.
Mrs. Robert Won Moschzskcr. wifi
of the chief justice Of Pennsylvania
was emphatic in her declaration thu!
women should serve as jurors. II Il
n responsibility. she said. imposed b.
citizenship, and women must not shirl
the duty.
Mrs. Walter G. Hancock. mcmbc
of the Republican womcn's committee
said she is convinced women want I
fulfill all the obligations of their citi
zenship.
Tn accepting citizenship women ar
prepared to abide by a.! the things tina
20 with It" she declared.
Mrs. Thomas Robins, Of the excCutiv
COMMITTEES of the Republican women
committee. expressed the view that jur
service is not privilege nor n righ
but an obligation. 1f existing law
must be amended to enable women
serve on juries. she said. then womc
will try to obtain such amendments.

TIPSTAVEs' PAY INCREASE
CUT $4,000 BY SPONSOR
Fifteenth Ward Legislator Amends
Measure to Save II


Harrisburg, March S.--Thc sum of
$40 900 was clipped off the increase
which Philadelphia must pay annually
if the Brady tipstaff salary raiser be-
comes law.
Mr.. Brady. who represents the Fiji
tctnth ward. the home Of Municipal
Judge. Brown. did the clipping last
night in response to public clnmor
against the bill. which in it's original
shape would have cost the taxpayers
something like $4,000 a year addi-
tional.
Brady called the bill up from the
third reading calendar for amendment.
His amendments cut the maximum sal
ary which Philadelphia judges might
order for the tipstavcs from $1,000 to
S25OO year.
The maximum now is $4,000 a year,
with q bonus which runs up the amount
| to $4,000 and S24OO.
The bonuses are soon to be eliminated
and the tipstaves were anxious to keen
their present salary and get a little
more.
Representative Edmonds. regarded
| in the House as the Moore administra
ton leader, will not likely oppose the
bill in its amended shape.

TUBERCULOSIS CASES FOUND
Cattle on Indiana Farm Discovered With Disease in Advanced Stage
 All Purebreds,

Following the tuberculin testing of 37 cattle on an Indiana farm, IA anil mals which reacted to the test, when slaughtered in an establishment under federal supervision, showed lesions of the disease not only on the organs, but even in some of the meat. In re- porting the incident to the United States Department of Agriculture. h. spector k. R. Newman explained that the demonstration was of unusual in- terest because all the cattle were pure bred.
 One of the cows, which had supplied milk for local use showed extensive lesions of tuberculosis in the man. mary glands, a condition associated with probable infection of the milk. Several stock raisers, who saw the tu- berculous carcass have signified their desire to have their herds qualify for place on the accredlted-herd list. Herds on this list are officially rec- ognized as free from tuberculosis.
