Further reductions in wages are re b

the general industrial activity is not
much changed from the previous week

that the Steel Corporation will not re &.

R. RS DENY PLAN
TO CUT ALL WAGES
Executives Will Meet to Con-
slider Ways to Present Labor
Matters to Board
CUYLER EXPLAINS STAND

Chicago. Feb. IA general re-
duction in wages of railway employees
is not being considered by the Associa-
tion of Railway Executives. which rep
reserts 90 per cent of the trackagc OF
the country, according to n statement
issued last night by Thomas Dewitt
Cuyler, chairman Of the association.
Mr.. Cuyler's statement came in re-
sponse to reports circulated in railroad
and union circles that the meeting of
railway executives. which he yesterday
called for February IS, would discuss
plnns for a general wage reduction on
all roads. Such proposition never
has come before the association or its
labor committee. Mr.. Cuyler said.
The executives will meet February 1S to
discuss means of getting the question
Of n revision Of wages of unskilled labor
legally before the board, which ruled
on February 10 that il could not act
on the road's plea for abrogation, of the
national agreement and for wage scale
revision for unskilled labor which was
asked because Of the financial condition
of the roads. Matters of finance be :
longed before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, the board said.
New York. Feb. 12.-Unless present
conditions are rcmcdicd railroads Of the
country will be forced into government

wiser to the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, de =
clared yesterday at district conference
Of the Industrial Relations Association
of America, at the Hotel McAlpin.
Mr.. Lee said the difference between
railroad earnings and cost of operation
was on nnrrow that Indifference IN tho
part Of operatives meant the difference
between success and failure for the
! roads The railroad managers. Mr.. Lee
said. do not yet see way out of their
dilemma in this respect.
"Thc railroads believe the present
freight rates are too high, higher than
the traffic will bear said Mr.. Lee.
ITO meet the requirements Of the situa-
ton and to get money enough to operate
the lines reductions must be made else
where"

plan being Ito create a scarcity CT

The operators are charged with OBJ
tanning priority coal shipment orders
from the Interstate Commerce Conn
mission, which diverted twenty mil
lion tons of coal from: the normal
market places. mainly by shipments
of West Virginia, Tennessee and Ken
tucky coal to New England and the
Northwest. This diversion, in part,
is alleged to have affected contract
deliveries. caused Immediate pur-
chases at higher prices. and drove
consumers into distant markets and
SO disturbed conditions that local
shortages were created and industries
forced to suspend work.
In respect to the 1890 coal situa-
ton the indictment charges that

should not be sold at any time for a
price that did not at the tine yield a
profit to the operators; that whatever
increase of wages of miners should
be agreed upon, should be added to
tho price of coal: that competition
among operators should be eliminatL
ed by organization among operators
and such other methods and means as
would be effective therefor: :
that the means of increasing the cost
of production and the price OF coal
was by closing down and keeping idle
the coal mines
The indictment also attacks the IA
nous "chcck-of' tystem of paying
union dues OF miners by which the
operators virtually act as a collecting
agency of the union by Withholding
part of the miners wages and paying

This is exceptional for generally
