MATTER CONSIDERED
AT CABINET MEETING
Copy of Decision Has Been For

resentative.
(ey The Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The
American government notified the So
Wet authorities in Russia today that
resumption of trade between Russia
and the United States could not be
considered until fundamental changes
had been made in the economic sys-
tenn underlying the soviet regime
Safety of human life, guarantee OF
property rights, free labor and OBJ
servance of the sanctity of contracts
were among the requirements laid
down in a brief note by Secretary
Hughes as essential if the doors of
commerce between the two countries
are once more to be opeg The
communication added that eonvinc-
ing evidence. of the consun sEtion of
such changes" must be furnabed be-
fore this government even red to
discuss the subject.
These requirements, the - de-
cIared, lay at the foundation of7sRus-
sian productivity, by which alone the
nation could hope to rebuild hers for
eign trade and make herself attractive
economically to the nations with which
she desires to exchange products.
The communication was made pub
lie at the state department in the
form of a statement by Secretary
Hughes with the notation that a copy
of it had been sent to the American
consul at Reval, Esthonia, to be hand
ed to Litvinoff, the soviet representa-
tive. The note was in reply to the
appeal recently addressed by the soviet
regime to President Harding and con-
gress asking that trade relations be-
tween the United States and Russia
be restored and proposing to send u
delegation to the United States to ne
gotiate to thai end. No mentions~was 9
made by Secretary Hughes of fff6Mao-
posal to send a delegation to this
country.
Prior to making a final decision, the
Russian trade question was discussed
for nearly two hours by President
Harding and his cabinet taking into
account a vast collection of data on
Russian conditions gathered by the
state and Comerce departments. In a
statement after the note had been
made public, Secretary Hoover de-
clared the conclusion reached Shows
the complete agreement of the views
of the whole administra tion."
Unlike previous official pronounce
ments of the American governments
attitude toward the soviet regime, Sec
retary Hughes note dealt solely with
the economic aspects of the problem
and made no attempt to discuss the
political shortcomings of the unrecog

ORDER PERMITS
A. B. & A. TO CUT WAGES

so high that a railroad cannot pay
them and operate, and while asserting
that in some instances a labor board
might be a better judge of wages than
a court. he held that in this case the
question was one to be decided in
court. He also declined to order strik-
ing employees restored to their jobs The
road has contended that it was running
at a daily loss sof $4,000 under the wage
scale fixed by the board last August
The court further held that the labor
board had itself ruled that it had no
jurisdiction in the A. B. & A. case be-
cause it had held that the conferences
between the employees and the railroad
company in which the company took
the position that it would have to re
duoe wages because it was not earning
enough to pay the wages then in eff
feet, did not furnish any reason why
the wages were unjust and unreason-
able.
