The New York Central already has

Railroad officials conversant with
the situation throughout the country
declared today that practically every
railroad in the country is preparing
drastic cuts in operating expenses.
They said the situation was such that
the railroads simply have to take
action to counteract the drop in
revenues due to a slump in business
that followed the Inauguration of
higher rates.
Already several of the principal
roads have held conferences with
representatives of their employers at
which the roads presented schedules
calling for reduced wages. In each
case the employees representatives
took the announced reductions under
advisement. There has been some
talk Of strikes but railroad officials

.HERR|CK TO Be.
FRENCH ENVOY
President Will Send 0hioan
Back to Paris As U. s.
Ambassador.
BY GEORGE II. HOLMES,
International News Service.

President Harding has decided to
send Myron T. Herrick back to his
old post as AMBASSADOR to France, it
was learned authoritatively today.
Herrick is an Ohioan, and was one
of those who labored most diligently
for Harding's nomination at Chi
cago. He is best remembered as
ambassador to France in the early
days of the war, when he did con-
spicuous work in caring for the thou
sands of Americans who poured into
Paris seeking escape from Europe.
= MUNsEY ELIMINATES SELF.
The nomination Of Herrick is ex-
pected to be among the first OF the
diplomatic appointments that the new
President will send to the senate
Herrick Is now en- route from Hon.
olulu to San Francisco. where he is
due to arrive in about a week
Replacement of diplomats, particu-
larly In the more important posts
abroad. will be slow and deliberate
process. II was indicated today. Presi-
dent Harding does not recognize any
need for haste in making these
changes with the possible exception
OF the London post. for which II is
understood Col. George Harvey, New
York editor and pubIicist. has been
tentatively selected. John w. Davis,
the present ambassador to ST. James,
sailed for home yesterday. his resig-
nation having preceded him. and. It
Is not tlesired TO leave the embassy
In char9s or . secretary. In view of
the unsettled conditions in Europe.
Reports that Frank A. Munsey, New
York publisher, would be appointed to
an important diplomatic post were
discredited today in White House cir
cles. Mr.. Munsey is understood to
have eliminated himself from consid-
GRAFTON some time ago when the prop
osition was first broached. He noti-
fled Harding he did not wish to be
considered available.
RETAIN CAREER DIPLOMATS.
For other embassies abroad there
ere a great many recommendations on
president Harding's desk. The weed
Ing out process presents no small
task in itself.
Among the more prominent of the
men mentioned for high honors are
DR.. David Jayne Hill, former ambas-
sador to Germany; DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler, president of Columbia
University. and a candidate for the
Illus Vanderbilt. of New York; ex-Gov.
Frank O. Lowden. OF Illinois, who
turned down a Cabinet position; Jules
Bache, New York banker; William Fl.
Crocker. Of California;; ex-Gov. r.
Livingston Beeckman, OF Rhode Is
land, and Col. bill" Hayward, of New
York.
The embassy at Mexico probably
will be one of the last diplomatic
posts filled by the new Administra-
tion. The Obregon government has
not yet been recognized. and there is
no indication that II will be very
soon. For this post there are two
candidates in the van-R. b. Creager,
of Texas. who was Harding's host in
Texas Immediately after the election
last fall, and Col. Melville Gillett, of
Smithport, Pa. who has considerable
Senatorial backing.
There are a numberof ministers to
smaller countries who came up from
the ranks and who have made diplo-
macy their careers. such as Hugh
Gibson. minister to Poland, and Jo-
seph c. Grew, minister to Denmark.

PACKER EMPLOYEES
WAIT ON HARDING
Strike Vote Will Be Taken Un-
less Message Is Answered
Within Four DAYS.

OMAHA, Neb. March 1O-Repre-
sentatives of 100000 workers in pack
ing houses throughout the United
States today are proceeding with
plans for the taking of a strike vote.
Only Intervention by President Hard
ing in the dispute between packing
house workers and the packers, union
leaders declare. can prevent the TAX
ing of strike referendum.
The union leaders were awaiting
word today from President Harding
in response to an appeal telegraphed
him late yesterday. This appeal ask
ed the President to intervene in the
dispute and compel the packers to
"hold in allegiance" reductions in
wages and changes in working con-
ditions until the Secretary of Labor
investigates charges that the packers
are encouraging a strike so that they
may dispose of huge stored stocks of
meat at high prices
The appeal to President Harding
virtually is an ultimatum in that II
fixes time limit OF four days within
which the President must act. II the
President does not move in answer TO
the appeal by Monday the machinery
for the taklno gf strike vote will
be set in motion.
Packing house centers that would
be affected by the strike are Chicago
Kansas City, Sioux City. South st.
Paul, Buffalo. st. Louis, Fort Worth,
Milwaukee, st. Joseph, Mo-, and
Wichita. Kan.
Approximately 200. 900 workers
would be affected. although II is said
only about half that number hold
membership cards in unions.
