can leaders determined upon It's iinal
enactment In time for the ending Of

port on the bill the House defeated,

cratic side to send the measure back
to conference with instructions TO the

Employees Declare Billion and Quarter
Wasted Annually.

Chicago, April 2Es-The railway la
Dor unions fighting wage reductions
before the railroad labor board in
creased their estimate of alleged waste
and inefffeiency in railroad manage
ment by a quarter billion dollars to-
day. In supplementary exhibit to
that filed last week, setting forth al
legged waste of a billion dollars, the
employees charge that possible savings
totalling $1,276,5 100000 could be eff
fected by the railroads if they would
introduce modern methods in mainte-
nance and operation.
l The larger American railroads spent
narly six billion dollars for operating
expenses last year, the exhibit showed
carrying forty-seven billion passengers
one mile and $50 billion tons OF
freight one mile.
1t can be demonstrated that six
billions is altogether too much to
move the traffic in hand" the report
said. That failure to introduce saw
ings rests primarily with railroad man
Fagement and that the public accord
ingly is not getting a dollars worth
OF service for the dollar it spends in

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, April s-srHEAT- Anticipa-
tons of a gradual inn rovement in demand
for all grain helped promote higher prices
today in the wheat market. Bulls were
especially hopeful of a continued export
demand for wheat. On the other hand
bears placed particular stress on assertions
that it would take serious crop damage to
induce any big upward movement of prices.
The opening varied from unchanged to nc
higher, with May $1.27 to S1.2TH and July
81 -051A to $1.0G, was followed by a moderate
setback and then by upturns all around to
well above yesterdays finish.
Scantiness of rural offerings counted
subsequently a Strengthening factor.
and so, too, did word that India pur-
chasing rice abroad. Near the end of the
day, however. weakness in oats led to a
reaction. The close was heavy, &c to 1Hc
net lower. with May $1.2515 to $1.25% and
July S1.o4% to $105.
CORN-Corn rose with wheat after open
ing unchanged to &c higher. including
July at G2Ac to 62ssc, the market sagged
q little but then scored material gains.
Rains delaying farm work and diminish
ing receipts tended later to sustain the
corn market until oats and wheat turned
down grade. The close was weak. &C to
5s0Ac net lower with July 615kc to 6IAc.
OATS-Oats were firmer like other
cereals, starting unchanged to sc up. July
