eous opinion of former Attorney Cen

League of America, here Thursday.
"First," he said, I'VE will ask the
attorney general to revise the opinion.

"Second, we will endeavor to get
the remaining nine states that have no
enforcement codes to do what the
other dry states have done and pro
hibit the prescribing Of beer for medl-
cinal purposes.
FINALLY. we will ask congress to
change the law in this respect II II

not make any real beer until the new

under Mr.. Palmer's decision, they will
be greatly mistaken" continued Mr..
Wheeler.
"The National Medical association
has gone on record repeatedly against
intoxicating liquors as medicine. Beer
has no therapeutic value. 1t is simply
booze and that is all there it to it.

Inc re0uctlOnS Will De uFRcu, kan
road officials said, to keep the roads
out of bankruptcy and enable them
eventually to reduce traffic rates when
now were said to be higher than me
public can bear" Various railroad
presidents declared the roads were ex-
listing entirely on credit.
At the same time came statements
from officials of the Association OF
Railway Executives that lower rates OF
pay for skilled workers probably would
be sought after the wages for 'un-
skilled men had been settled.
One road, the Chicago Il Great
Western, took the lead among the
western lines in the matter Of reduc-
ton by announcing that it proposed q
20 per cent decrease in the pay. OF
every employe from the president
down, with the exception of train SER
vice men, telegraph operators and I'M
skilled men. The pay Of unskilled
workers would be brought down to con-
form with the rates paid in other in
dustries, if possible. Conferences will
be held with the employees, March ~.
About 5000 men would be affected.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
and the Chicago and Alton were two
roads to announce today that they
would seek reductions for unskllled
employees. The former proposed a re-
duction of So cents in pay of unskilled
workers at a meeting with represent
atives Of employees yesterday.
I. c. WithhoIds Action.
The Santa Fe, the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul, the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific, and the Chicago &
Northwestern announced proposed re-
auctions Thursday night. The North
ern Pacific and the Great Northern
previously had announced conferences
with their employees.
The Illinois Central had no official
statement to make but it was under
stood that this road and several others
expected to take the same action as
the other lines
All reductions are based on the fed
eral labor boards awards of last July
when $6OO.OOO.OOO increase was
granted to 100000 workers. These
increases favored for the most part
unskilled and semi-skilled labor.
From the labor side little comment
was heard on the proposed reductions
in unskilled employees wages, accord
ing to the executives. 1t was said
that the matter would have to come
before the labor, board and that the
unions chief concern now was to see
that the roads acted in accordance
with the transportation act.
The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad Thursday held a conference
with representatives of it's 10000 I'M
skilled employees, President Hale Hold
en- announced Friday. The conference
adjourned until March %. to allow the
railroads proposition to be placed di-
rectly before the employees.
The road proposed reductions of ap-
proximately 81 cents an hour, vary
ing in certain districts, he said.
40c Hourly Pay.
This would make the pay of I'M
skilled men approximately 40 cents
an hour, the present rate being on an
average Of 49, cents an hour. he said
The Chicago and Alton railroad will
take steps within sort time to reduce
the pay of its employees, President
Bierd announced today. The reduc-
tions will be made to bring about an
ultimate reduction in freight and pass
enger rates, which are more than the
public can bear" he said.
