UNIONS SEEK
PLAN Of ROADS
ON WAGE GUT.
Attitude of Eastern
Lines Will Be Sent
in Next Week.
Drawing of Agreements
Will Be Held up Until
Later.

New York, Aug. 3.-The attitude Of
the big eastern railroads toward fur
ther wage decreases and the elimina-
ton of time and one-half for overtime
for engine, train and yard service
workers will be communicated to the
Big Four Railroad Brotherhoods and
the Switchmen's Union of North Amer
lea next week. This was announced
Wednesday night, following confer
ence here between a committee of the
railroad executives of the eastern
presidents conference and the heads
of the railroads organizations con-
cerned.
Agreements Held Up.
Until the conference has taken final
action, it is understood that the refer
endum vote and the making of agree
ments under the recent awards of the
railroad labor board, reducing wages
II per cent, effective July l, win be
held In abeyance.
The union chiefs Wednesday asked
the attitude of the railroads on tho
following questions:
If the operating officials of the
railroads will restore the wage rates
in effect on June so, 1921?
IF all demands for further de-
decreases win be withdrawn?
IF all demands for the elimination
of time and one-han for overtime and
radical schedule revision will be with
drawn, and not pressed again for
stated period m m .s
Would Mean Increase.
The railroad executives, according
to statement issued by them, pointed
out that to grant the first request
would mean an increase in wages Of
approximately y per cent at a time
when all other wages are coming
down; and to accede to the second
would be assuming that mo further
decreases are or will be warranted by
reductions in the cost of living"
The union chiefs were told that in
granting the request for the withdrawal
of the demand for elimination of over
time the railroad officials would be-
taking the question of time and a
half for overtime out of the hands of
the labor board, where it is now under
discussion, and violate every agreement

aid. chief justice of the criminal court.
believes that the great American
sport has been purged for a generation
to come and has been once again re-
stored to the place it held before the
mark of scandal fell upon it.
First Heart Case.
Judge Mcdonald, who in September.
1920, charged the Cook county grand
jury with looking into reports which
had come to his attention concerning
fixed games, Wednesday night issued
the following statement:
'lnasmuch as l was instrumental in
starting the original investigation, I
followed the case to the end and am
now moved to say that the result Of
the trial is disappointing, in view Of
the confessions of the guilty. But the
grand jury investigation and prosecu-
tion that followed after put the fear Of
God and the law into the hearts Of
crooked gamblers and shady players
and has purged baseball for q. genera
ton to come.
For Best Interests.
While the club owners may have
sustained some monetary loss while the
trial was in progress, nevertheless, I
believe our national sport would have
gone the way of horse racing and box
ing, due to the baneful influence, had
not the strong arm of the law been
extended to save it.
Il am pleased to note that those in
control of baseball and club owners in
have decided to for all time
keep shady players from the game.
am sure the young men and boys Of
he country viii welcome the purgng
md will again have confidence In the
great American sport"
