RAILROAD CRISIS
BEFORE CABINET
President ard Advisers Discuss
Transportation Problem.
SEEK A DEFINITE POLICY
Would Stave off Government Owner
ship-Harding to Cali Chairman
Clarke of Commerce Commits
sion and Barton.

Washington, March 30. = President
Harding and members of his cabinet,
realizing that the present transporta-
ton crisis has the country running
fun speed ahead into government
ownership of railroads, dedicated
their meeting to the creation Of de-
finite railroad policy for the admins
tration.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
cabinet officers that some step of an
extraordinary nature was demanded
by the situation. The President an
nouneed that he would call Chairman
f. E. Clarke of interstate commerce
commission and Chairman G. e. Bar
ton Of the railroad labor board to the
White House for conference.
Won't Discuss Details.
While none of the cabinet officers
would discuss the details of the rail-
road discussion, it was evident that
the cold figures showed the railroads
flirting with bankruptcy in their oper-
alton under rates already so burden
some as to make shipping prohibitive
In many lines of business.
The President, in his conference
with newspaper correspondents fol-
lowing the cabinet session. admitted
that they had found the railroad prob
lem an all-absorbing one, likewise, he
made no effort to conceal the fact
that the transportation question, upon
which depends all the prosperity and
general welfare Of the land, was gem
orally regarded as critical. It was
obvious that he had been seeking in
all channels for information on the
situation.
Apparently no one in the cabinet
was willing openly to advocate any
general reduction in wages as the solu-
ton of the question, though it is said
to be agreed that in getting the rail-
roads feet back on the ground the
wartime standards of pay will have
TO come down in proportion. Secre-
tary of Labor Davis first voiced that
thought in the packers wage contro-
versy.
Want Wages Cut.
As the railroads view thel situa-
tion--a phase which was not without
its presentation at the cabinet meet
ing-the first thing to be done is to
nullify the national agreement entered
Into with the employees during the
war. That notification affecting work
Ing conditions will save $300,000,000
year TO the lines, they claim.
Further, the railroads, as might be
expected, have contended that another
considerable portion of the deficits at
tending operations these days can be
remedied some by wage reductions.
Citing statistics showing fifteen per
cent general slump in the cost of liv-
Ing, they are arguing for a similar
normally in wage standards.

MRS. HIGGINS WAS
CHARMING GUEST
tContinued ION 20 ID


Teacher association, gave Q large and
elegant reception at her home on
Third Avenue North, inviting to
meet Mrs. Higgins a large number of
the society people Of the city, many
Of whom are not connected with the
Parent-Teaeher associations. Friday
evening Mr.. and Mrs. J. C. Mead
ows honored the guest with an ele-
giant seven o'clock dinner.
In her address at the High School,
Mrs. Higgins spoke to a representa-
tive and cultured audience, who heard
with delight Mrs. Higgins views OF
the Parent-Teacher work and needs.
Following a graceful Introduction
by Professor Meadows, Mrs. Higgins
spoke Of the training and develop
ment of the child and the part I'M
dertaken by the Parent Teacher as
sociations in the work. Mrs. Hig
gins said" To be able to give our
children the pure atmosphere that
should be in every home to give to
them the light which will help them
to understand the problems which
they meet, to give them food for
thought and to enable them to do
their every day duties faithfully
all these things are the functions of
the Parent Teacher associations and
viii result in better, wiser, purer
citizenship for the coming generation.
A Parent-Teaeher association in the
school means that the teacher is hav-
ing the aid and appreciation Of the
/ parent" Mrs. Higgins likened the
development of the child to the
growth Of a plant or flower, to whom
+ the four essentials of life are air,
light, food, and exercise are equally
as necessary. The importance of the
child was the theme of the discourse,
several graphic illustrations of the
weight of sympathetic Understanding
and the need for spiritual insight
were impressive features of the splen-
did and helpful address.
