Dispute,
(Ry The Assoclated Preas.N

Chicago, July 5.-The general
ehairmen Of the five leading rail-
road employees associations today
declined to shoulder the RESPONSE
bility for accepting the wage reduce
tions which went into effect July
upon order of the United States
railroad labor board. They voted
that the entire matter should be
referred to the membership
through the various general COM
mittees not later than Septem-
ber l."
The organizations represented
were the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, Brotherhood OF Lo-
comotive Firemen and Enginemen,
Order of Railway Conductors.
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and the Switchmen's Union of
North America.
Conference Suggested.

thoriZed their chief executives 20
make arrangements. il possible. to
meet committee of railway exc
cutives still to be selected to meet
a subcommittee of the five organi-
cations ito consider and If possible
adjust all matters in controversy"
The chief executives and commit
tees were directed ito place the
representatives of the railway cor
porations clearly in record as to
whether or not they will request
further decreases in rates or COM
pensation, the abolition of schedule
rules and regulations. or the elimt-
nation Of time and one-half over
time"
Announcement was made that
the resolution will be Immediately
considered by the other recognized
railroad labor organizations.
Other Questions Involved.
The resolution. in extenuation of
the chairmen's positions, stated
that 1t was not only wage matter
they were called upon to decide.
1t was declared that in many In
stances railroad officers have
served notice of their intention to
abolish time and one-half for over-
time in road, freight and yard
service, and in addition abolish
present rules and conditions.
Much easiness and unrest the
resolution continues, add to the
seriousness of the situation, and
establish condition OF affairs
which makes 1t practically impos-
sible for the general chairmen to
take the responsibility of deciding
these important questions. for the
reason that we hold that no reduc-
ton in wages of the various classes
is justifiable."
Decisions Disregarded.
The resolutions directed the ex-
ecutive officers to call to the at
tention Of those in authority the
fact that certain carriers, namely,
the Missouri & North Arkansas
railway and the Atlanta. Birming-
ham g. Atlantic railroad have dis
regarded the decisions and flouted
the authority Of the United States
railroad labor board"
The general chairmen said the
resolutions were adopted despite
all these provocative circumstances,
coupled with a common desire to
refrain from taking any action that
might precipitate a deplorable SIT
uation."
