CHICAGO, Feb. IA general
reduction in wages of railway en-

the Association Of Railway EXecu-
tives, which represents ninety per
cent Of the trackage Of the country,
according TO a statement issued Fri
day night by Thomas Dewitt Cuyler,
chairman of the association.
Mr. Cuyler's statement came in
response 10 reports circulated in
railroad and union circles that the
meeting of railway executives which
he Friday called for Feb. IS would
discuss plans for a general wage re
duction on all roads. Such a propo-
sition never has come before the
association or its labor committee,
Mr. Cuyler said.
To Hold Meet
The executives Will meet Feb. Is
to discuss means of getting the
question Of a revision Of wages Of
unskilled labor legally before the
board, which ruled on Feb. 10 that
1t could not act on the roads plea
for abrOgation of the national agree
ment and for a wage scale revision
for unsklled labor which was asked
because of the financial condition Of
the roads. Matters Of finance be-
longed before the interstate COM
merce commission, the board said.
In the meantime, the labor side
is preparing to bring before the
board the cases of all roads which
are alleged TO have violated rulings
of the board by ordering wage re-
ductions for section hands. Among
these are the Erie and the st. Louis
and San Francisco. A petition is
before the board charging the St.
Louis Southwestern with violating
the rulings OF the board, but the
road denied that 1t had cut wages.
