GENERAL RAIL WAGE
CUT NOT CONSIDERED
CuyIer Says Desire Is to Re.
Use Unskiied Loborers' Pay.

CHICAGO. Feb. 11.---A general reduc-
ton in wages of railway employees Is
not being considered by the Association
OF Railway Executives. according to a
statement Issued tonight by Thomas
De Witt Cuyler. chairman of the asso-
citation.
Mr.. Cuyler's statement came IN re-
sponse 20 reports that the meeting of
railway executives, which he to-day
called for February IS. would discuss
plans for general wage reduction. Such
a proposal never has come before the
association or its labor committee. Mr..
Cuyler said. The executives will dis

bill can be enacted. They assert that
tariff should be based on the difference
between the cost OF production here and
abroad, and that accurate figures on
these points are now unobtainable
Determination of the amount OF money
TO be raised By the new revenue law
does not In any considerable degree
hinge on the amount OF money to be OBJ
tained from new tarifr, as was the case
in the past. they point out Previously
about ore-halr of the Government rev.
enue was obtained from the tariff. but
during the next few years 1t Is probable
that not much more than one-tenth can
be reised in this nanpS~.
The other group, led By Representative
Fordney (Mich.), believes tariff revision
should precede revenue revision, which
should not come until q new tariff bill is
rewritten. Mr. Fordney In a statement
to-day said protective tariff bill would
revive industries and thus bring into the
Terasury q much larger sum in taxes He
threw down the challenge to those op-
posing immediate revision of the tariff by
asserting that they are vehicles of Dem
ocratic propaganda. Mr.. Fordney denied
that the committee was divided on the
question. but pleaded that the work OF
tariff revision be not interrupted.
Furthermore" said Mr.. Fordney, "the
amount of revenue to be collected from
taxes on incomes and taxes on sales, and,
In fact, all internal levies, depends di-
rectly on the success of American In
dustries and the earning and purchasing
power OF the American people. Failure
OF our tax laws will be coincident with
business depression. At present indus
tries are languishing and unemployment
is on the increase and our revenues are
shrinking. Existing conditions are the
inevitable results of the inadequate tariff
laws now IN force. Without business re-
vival our revenue laws VIII be impotent."

GAVE HIS SHOP FOR
MANSION IN HEAVEN
Negro Now Doubts if Live
Ever, Die Never Society
Can Make Delivery.

Roy Fl. Murray, a negro OF 2367 Sew
enth avenue brought suit yesterday in
the Supreme Court before Justice Ford
against Alfred ]. Simmons, president.
and other officials OF the Relief Asso-
riation Of Hebrew Settlement Workers.
He wants his butcher shop back. He
Told Justice Ford by means of long
affidavits that he was induced 70 part
with tho shop By promises OF immortal
.ty and mansion In heaven for HIM
self and because he was impressed by
having been made an elder in the Live
Ever Die Never Society. an offshoot
of the relief association and an organi-
zation which appears TO have been the
recipient of most OF the relief obtained
by the association.
\ Murray says he believed the tales OF
immortality and heavenly mansions told
to him by reverent negroes with long
whiskers and that his sister believed
HIT, too. She would like to get back her
Harlem beauty parlor, where she beau
titled the dusky bellies Of Harlem, whicn
she says she gave to the defendants at
The time that her brother made out
bill OF sale for his butcher shop.
Murray says he believed everything
until tie learned that the Supreme Being
Of the Live Ever, Die Never Society was
IN pail In Trenton and didn't seem able
to get out. He even visited the Supreme
Being, ne said, and was exhorted TO be
faithful. He that although the Supreme
Being said he was immortal and that
stone wallis and steel bars ment moth
ing, he didn't seem able to get through
them and back 70 his flock In Harlem.
Besides simmons the defendants are
w. White, Joseph r. Taylor. Caino
Johnson and Mrs. r. W. Robertson. WHO
is the Mother at the associations
headoua rters In 2l0 West iSsth street.
Tney deny Murray's statements and say
that they purchased his butcher snop,
while Murray says he got nothing FOR IL
but promises OF immortality and heaven
ly mansions. which he now believes
they will not be able TO guarantee him.
Justice Ford, after pondertng the evi-
dence, declared that the case was not
proper one for injunctiye relief on affi-
davlt alone and that Murray would have
TO wait until the case Is tried before he
knows whether he can get his butcher
shop back.

Washington, d. c., Feb. IL.
Dissension has broken out in the
House Ways and Means Committee as TO
whether revision of the revenue laws or
the rewriting of the tariff bill shall be
the first important task of the new Con-
gress.
The hearings on the revision OF the
tariff before the House Ways and Means
Committee which have been in progress
since early in January will be completed
early next week. and the committee will
be forced to make decision as TO
whether 1t shall start the work Of writ
ing tariff law or start the work of
revenue revision.
There are two schools OF thought in
the committee. One, led by Representa-

value of the estate was sl,56o,000.
Gardiner was one Of three beneficiar.es
Of the estate Of his mother, Mrs. Sarah
