 The deputation remained in the pre- mier's residence for half an hour, and upon emerging. the spokesman told the press that he had nothing to report but added:
 AS far as it goes. we are satisfied T

WOULD REDUCE RATES
 WITH REDUCED WAGES

Chicago, Oct. 13-A proposal to meet all future reduction in the wages of sailroad employees with correspond ing decreases in railroad freight rates is to be presented to the Association of Railway Executives at it's meeting here tomorrow, it was announced tonight
 The proposition is to be submitted by a special committee of railroad officials which last week conferred with govern ment officials at Washington, it was stated.
 This announcement was made by a railroad official here for the conference. He stated that the committee had pro- posed seport embodying the plan.
 The proposition to pass all future de- creases in operating costs along to the public, 1t was stated, was in line with the policy of the railroads to make freight rate reductions and at the same time allow the railroads to operate at a profit Freight rate reductions are i'm possible so long as operating costs re- main unchanged, this o.S 'ial assested. The railroads emerged from the war facing a huge deficit, he asserted. The six per cent. profit provided for by the transportation act failed to bring any material relief because of the decrease in business and had the railroad labor board not authorized a reduction oi wages on July 1, many railroads would have been bankrupt before the end oi ' th eyear. he said.
