Executives to Move First


CLEVELAND, Oct. 17.-"The rail-
road executives can settle the dispute
or the United States government can
prevent q STRIKE" Warren S. Stone,
grand chief of ehe Brotherhood Of Lo-
comotive Engineers, declared last
night when asked If there is any way
Of avoiding the catastrophe of a ma
tional transportation tie-up.
"By taking over the railroads, for
that is what it must come to eventual
ly," Mr.. Stone indicated as his idea of
the "most effective way" in which the
Administration could avoid the strike
scheduled for October 80
An undercurrent of optimism was
observed in some influential railroad
organization circles. There is q strong
hope that at the eleventh hour a basis
Of settlement will be suggested from
Washington, and the feeling exists
that political psychology" is being
carefully weighed in Administration
quarters.
"People in Washington recall the

SANITATION official said yesterday.
"a big enough man can settle the
dispute even now, but it requires some
courage and firm handling Of the situa-
ton without regard to the desires of
the railroad executives or political
capi ital," it was declared.
"Roads Want Strike"
Mr. Stone emphasized belief gen
eral among railroad union men that
the railroads want a strike," and that
q further reduction in wages is much
less desirable to the railroad execu-
tives than the quashing of rules and
regulations won by employees in vari-
Gus ways as the result Of years of or
ganization effort.
"lf it had been a question Of wage
reductions only there would have been

BERLIN, Oct. IA new catastrophic
decline OF the mark and money panic
on the Boerse to-day precipitated a
crisis that seems to threaten the sta
bility Of the German government.
Chancellor Wirth and the leaders Of tho
principal political parties discussed the
Cabinets fate at some length in a
series Of conferences to-day,
1t was evident that political leaders,
both conservative and radical, were con-
WINGED that the developments of the
last twenty-four hours have made the
resignation of the Wirth Cabinet in
evitable. 1t is expected to quit when
the Reichstag reassembles Thursday. or
perhaps before. Party leaders already
are discussing the composition of the
new Cabinet. They feel that if the
country were held in suspense, without
Cabinet, in the present situation the
country's financial position would suf
fer severely.
The mark dropped to-day to 176 to
| the dollar and promised to fall soon to
the dangerous low point Of 200.
The Cabinet crisis and probably the
drop in the value of the mark are re
garded here as the outcome of the un-
favorable decision of the League ol
Nations on the division of Upper
Silesa. The political stability Of Chan
cellor Wirth's ministry. which prom
ised to assure the Allies continued
payments on the war bill, has disap-
pearcd. The conservative element are
in a frenzy over DR.. Wirth's inability
to change the leagues decision and
keep the industrial districts of Upper

resignation on the ground that his
foreign policy has been ar ute,
