RAILROADS END PLEA
FOR WAGE REDUCTION
Many Receiverships Predicted in

Carriers Evidence.

Chicago. April 2l-Sctting n whiri
wind pace. more than thirty railroads
laid their pleas for wage reductions be
fore tho Railroad Labor Eoard yesterday
in the final days presentation Of the
carriers evidence. The board then ad-
journed for ono week. until April Is.
10 allow the employees time in which 10
prepare their reply
Predictions Of rcCeiverships and bank
ruptcics intcrspcrsed exhibit after ex-
hihit introduced by the roads 10 show
decreases in outside industry wages and
the cost of living since the present rail
ROAD wage scale was made effective. All
Of the roads took the same position AS
that expressed by w. c. Bierd, OF the
Chicago & Alton. the last witness.
The wage decision OF July 1920. as
l understand L. was based almost en-
tirely on the increased cost Of living. "
Mr.. Bierci said II that Is correct, we
feel fully justified in asking a decrease
in those rates Of pay. first. on the
grounds Of absolute necessity, second.
bcause the reason for creating the pres
ent rates has been removed and third,
because our industries have reduced
their wages"
The board was flooded with another
mass Of figures today as roads from
the Southeast. Southwest and West made
their submissions in rapid succession.
Numerous roads told the board that
unless they had relief they would soon
be on the rocks. several smaller roads
facing deficits at present. Exhibits from
an sections Of the country set forth re-
ductions ln the costs of living and in
wages paid for similar work in other
industries.
The general rules hearing which was
TO nave proceeded next Monday has
been indefinitely postponed so that the
board may give its entire attention for
the present to the wage controversy.
