RAIL CRISIS NEAR
lContinued from Pare Onel

to discuss the situation after the
meeting but previous to it had said
that the roads must be crazy to seek
q new reduction when the men have
just authorized a strike over an old
wage cut"
, r. S. Binker of the association OF
! railway executives said that the
+ transportation system was facing ono
of it's greatest crises but he also re-
, fused to make predictions.
Union leaders freely admitted. that
there had been little harmony be-
tween the committee in the confer
cnce.
| The Roads Stand
The executives. announced, how
ever, that the proposal to pass fu-
ture wage reductions on to the public
by applying to the interstate COM
merce commission for reduction II
freight and passenger rates had beer
accepted and that all future wage re-
auctions would be met by cor
responding rate reduction.
The conference was begun at the
suggestion of the union leaders their
! invitation for a meeting being &C.
cepted by the rail heads following
! the announcement concerning freight
rates. AS the meeting started, the
committee appointed by the assoc'a-
zion of railway executives declard
that they believed it would settle
most of the immediate difficulties be
tween the carriers and their employees.
Union Leaders Reticent
! The union leaders were backward
about discussing the meeting although
some indicated that its purpose might
be almost nullified by the announce
ment that further wage reduction
would be sought.
| w. G. Lee. president of the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen sad:
Since the union men already had au-
thorized their leaders to call strike
rather than accept the recent 12a per
cent. wage cut. I do not see how the
roads can have the nerve to suggest
another cut

The executives, it was announced.
wish the wages of train service men
returned to the same basis as pre-
vious to the increase granted in the
labor decision of July. 1920, This
will necessitate a 10 per cent. reduc-
ton. it was said.
! No decision of the executives fol-
| lowed consideration of numerous
plans and proposals regarding wageG
and rates. One proposal was for an
immediate reduction in freight rates
on agricultural commodities. the re-
duction to be effective for so or 90
days as test. This plan met with
opposition from a majority most Of
them maintaining that they could not
exist with lower rates.

ENSLEY ISEASILY VICTOR OVER LEEDS

McWhirters splendid twlrling was almost entirely responsible for the defeat of the Leeds High school team by the Ensley Tel low Jackets yesterday afternoon by to o score. The Ensley star whlffed IS bats men allowing only five hits and walking two. This defeat is the first reverse for the Leeds crew this season.
 The Yellow Jackets reaped t3 binsles off the delivery of Poole, who is said to be Leeds best bet, and by punching these swats scored two or more tallies in three diff ferent innings. Three in the third started the tide in Ensleys favor and four more runs in the fourth practically clnched the battle. The Yellow Jackets added on two more for good measure in the sixth. ~a
 Mowhirter retired the opposing team on strikeouts for three Innings and in several others-whiffed two men. Rosenfeld con tributed the fielding feature of the game when he made a pretty catch in left cen ter. Bosenfed and Adkins each made triples while Harding's double was the only other extra base swat. scokel made three hits being the leader for the day. Five other Ensley batters got two apiece, while Rosenfeld. Anderson, Tinklepaugh and Dun- can scored twice each.
 Anderson played well in the field and O'Brien's handling of Mcwhirter's shoots was very good. scokel made only three put outs at first base for Ensley. Adkins and Harding each got extra base hits for the losers but their teammates could not push them around. Poole played a good game in the field but was not much on the mound. Aders played we'll at second. Score;

 Is Fast Tourney.

Tuscaloosa, April 29.-(Speciak)- The pre.:minaries of the Alabama in- terscholastic meet. which occurred at the University of Alabama this after noon. were witnessed by huge and enthusiastic crowd of spectators. The preliminaries included the t00-yar5 dash, 22O-yard dash, 220 low hurdles kept at high pitch by an array of talent that is hardly to be expected of high school students. The participants represented all sections of the state as well as NortL Carolina. Theodore Koen:g. who won the first lest of the i40-yard dash and the second of the 220, was one of the Tarheel aggrega- tion from Greensboro, N C., and pre- sented an excellent brand of athletics.
 NORTH CAROLINA ENTERED
 The North Carolinians will enter this team in the Chicago interscholas- tic meet. Bessemer High schcool of Alabama came to the front in the second heat of the 100, with Henry Rush ahead of the field. This young speed artist Is being looked upon as one of the strongest possible conten- ueIS III lne saturday finals.
 Otis Kirby, who finished the first heat of the 100 in 10.1, was the stellar representative of Albertville. He also displayed stamina by winning his hea. in the 220-yard dash and the 440-yard dash.
 An independent team from Central High school of Birmingham qualified Jake Levy in the 100-yard dash and Richmond Beatty in the low hurdles, the finals to be run off Saturday should be interesting, with the above stars pitted against each other.
