ROADS T0POsT
WAGE CUTS
MANAGERS decide ON 10 PER
CENT REDUCTIONS TO AFFECT
EMPLOYEES IN ALL
BRANCHES.

Chicago, Nov. Managers of the
western group of railroads met here
yesterday and decided upon the i'm
mediate posting of notices of wage
reductions of 10 per cent, according
to an announcement today. Il
The roads represented at the meet
ing included the Santa Fe, Great
Western, Rock Island, Northwestern,
Union Pacific, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern.
In the proposed cuts, all depart
ments would be affected and commit
tees were appointed to draft the mo-
tices Immediately so that the roads
may go before the labor board and
ask an early hearing.
Following this meeting, the nation
al industrial traffic league announced
that meetings would be held today
and Wednesday to ask that the rail-
roads press their claims for wage re-
ductions on the basis of rate reduc-
tions to shippers. The league repre-
sents many of the important shippers
of the country.
Resolutions for presentation to
roads have already been drawn and
include three salient points:
That railroad wage scales be put
on a level corresponding with those
of other industries.
That wage reductions and rate re-
ductions take place simultaneously.
Abrogation Immediately of ma
tional agreements, made effective
during the period of federal control.
The labor board has announced
that wage reductions will not be con-
sidered until after 1t has passed upon
working rules and schedules but the
roads decided to press their wage re-
duction efforts so that these might be
brought to the attention of the board
as early as possible, it was said.
Settlement of the threatened rail-
road strike voted by the railroad
brotherhoods for Oct. 80 followed a
statement by the railroad labor board
that reductions would not be passed
upon until after questions regarding
rules and working conditions had
been decided.

Burn Your Corn,
Says w allace

Washington, Nov. 9.--"Helpful
hints to farmers:
Burn corn instead of coal; it's
cheaper"
This advice is contained in an Off
cial statement issued by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace Sunday.
High freight rates have made 1t
often Improbable for farmers to
ship this years crop of corn.
The farmers not only will find
corn cheaper fuel than coal, but in
addition will save the cost Of hauling
the corn to town and hauling the
coal back.
Corn, at 20 cents a bushel, is
equal in fuel value to fair grade of
western soft coal at approximately
$40 ton," said Secretary Wallace.
'"In districts where corn is very cheap
now coal is usually of a rather poor
grade and is selling high prices. Un-
der such conditions it will pay both
farmers and the people in country
towns to use corn instead of coal.

SAVE GIANT ELM
Lawrence, Mass, Citizens Raise Fund
For PURPOSE

IpSoSs
Lawrence, Mass, June 6-Citizens
here have raised a large fund, to
save a giant elm from the wood
choppers ak. Legend says that more
than century and a half ago a young
soldier returning from the French
and Indian wars, stopped for the night
at the Bodwell homestead in this city.
He was without money but in the
morning he sought to do something
in return for the kindness ! shown
him. Mrs. Bodwell suggested that
more shade was needed at the south
west corner of the house, and so the
soldier went into the woods, brought
back an elm sapling, planted it, and
went his way.
The old gables house. sheltered
through the years by the elm grown
to splendid proportions, recently
changed hands, and word went out
that the tree was to be cut down. A
movement to save the ancient land
mark was started, the owner agree
ing to sell the entire property with
out profit. School children have had
a large part in raising the required
$4,000. It is proposed to use the
house as the headquarters of his
torical society but the purchase of
tho building lis only Incidental to the
saving of the famous elm.

'OLD TYOPA GOLD MINES
HIDDEN AWAY IN THE
SIERRA MADRES
Fabulous Richness and Vast
Treasure Store Yellow Metal
Still Undiscovered

Bisbee, Ariz., June 3.-For three
hundred years, according to reliable
records, the Sierra Madre mountains
Of Sonora and Chihuahua Mexico have
held the secret of gold mine of Ia
bilious richness and vast treasure
store Of gold, mined and hidden away
in an accessible tunnel. The romance
of the gold hunter Is written In the
history OF mans efforts through the
centuries to reach, and bring back to
civilization this wealth of the Old
Tyopa mines. Murders and violence
have marked many of these efforts
and still in many hardy breasts of
this mining country today there still
stirs the spirit which has promoted
many to brave the dangers of starva-
ton, thirst and death at the hands
Of Indian bands and outlaws in the
search for gold.
Mexico City contains fecords of the
old mine and several prospectors,
one of them Jack Dunn, accredited
discoverer of the Warren district,
have reported seeing ruins, Of the old
mine. but none ever reached there.
According to records at the Mexican
capital, in the latter part of the sew
enteenth century the isolated village
of Old Tyopa was sraided by Indians,
who destroyed the town and killed
all the Inhabitants except a priest.
Story And Map Handed Down.
After wandering for several weeks,
the priest arrived at q little town
called Auga <Efia, on the Faqu river,
where he was received. and cared for
by Mexican family. His hardships
caused his death. but before he died
he gave to the family a description
and map Of the mining camp. He
also reported that the gold obtained
from seven years of mining had been
stored in an old tunnel because of
the tmpossibility Of shipment to civ
ilizaton.
The story and map, .itris said, have
been handed down from family to fam
lily for generations. Those who attempt
ed to reach the camp lost their out
fits and many did not return. The
Indians for years menaced all pres
augmented by bands of outlaws. Max
CoVita, for several years Mexican
consul at Naco, is said to have been
the latest possessor of the priests
map. He declared he twice succeed
ed In getting as far as Casa Blanca
from which the ruins Of Old Tyopa
are visible and 1t was reported he had
not given up hopes Of reaching the
place at his death several years ago.
Bert Grover, local man, twice
started with two companions to make
the perilous journey, but was forced
ment, Indians and outlaws. Some re-
markable gold specimens have been
brought back from the vicinity of the
Old Tyopa, but SO far as known no
one ever has reached the mines
since the old town was destroyed
centuries ago.
