DENY UNIONS CHARGES
Railroad association Says Labor
Heads Misrepresented Them.
Wants to Make Reduction In Rates
Without Cutting Wages Chair
man Wires Wilson.

Chicago-Railroads of the country
asked the Railway Labor board to
abrogate the national agreements SC
out an immediate reduction in wages
might be brought about. Thomas De-
witt Cuyler, chairman of the Associa.
ton of Railway Executives, said in a
telegram to President Wilson, reply.
ing to one sent to the chief executive
unions.
Labor Charges Denied.
Mr.. Cuyler denied every charge
made against the railroads by the la.
Dor leaders in their telegram. declar.
ing that they were deliberate and
gross Misrepresentation and propa'
ganda intended to discredit private
management of the railroads in the
interests of the Plumb plan and tc
defeat efforts being made in good faith
to abolish rules and working condi
tions which were war measures"
Mr.. Cuyler said the railroads had
refused a conference with labor lead
ers because such a conference could
not adjust conditions for all roads ir
all parts of the country. The roads
however, were willing individually tc
adjust conditions with their employees
and were, in fact. urging this en- the
labor board.
"The roads request is in the inter
est Of the men who work Upon these
railroads. We recognize that as the
wages of railroad employees were the
last to go up, they should also be the
last to come down, and, if by restoring
the conditions necessary to efficient
and economical operation the rail
roads can postpone for a reasonable
period the reduction Of basic wages
which ultimately will be required, they
will be only too glad to do so in the
interests of the great body of their EN-
ployes.
"The pressing financial necessitie:
of the railroads are such that, if de
MED the opportunity Of initial econ
omy through proper rules and work
ing conditions, their only other re
course must be in a reduction o
basic wages.

SENATE ARGUES TARIFF
Shoves Aside Appropriation Mea-
sures to Consider Fordney Bill.
Penrose and McCumber Insist OF
Speedy Vote to Save Farmers
From Bankruptcy.

MISUNDERSTANDING aside all pend
ing legislation, including a dozen big
appropriation bills, the Senate voted to
continue consideration of the Fordney
emergency tariff bill. The gates we're
opened wide for a flood of oratory,
when a petition for the use of cloture
in debate was voted down, SO to 35,
mastering far less than the two-thirds
majority.
AS it O stands, the emergency
tariff measure has precedence over all
business except during the morning
hour" of sessions from IL to 2 o'clock.
Both Senator Penrose, Pennsylvania,
and McCumber, North Dakota, Repub-
licans, have made it clear that a vote
must be taken on the measure, which
they claim will save farmers of the
country from bankruptcy.
Mr.. McCumber asked that all join
in agreement to vote on the bill Feb.
ruary Is. His motion was lost. Then
the cloture was tried, and it failed.
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North Ca,
rolina, cOuntered the Republican move
with a proposition to vote on Feb,
ruary is, and Mr.. Penrose tried to
prevail on his opponent to set an
earlier date for fear Of a pocket veto
by the President. Senator Williams,
Democrat, Mississippi, however. de-
stroyed all hopes by announcing that
he would object to any unanimous con-
sent ION anything at any time"
After the vote, Mr.. Penrose took up
claims that the tariff bill would NEAR
the failure of appropriation bills at this
session. He voiced the opinion that
W. shall have better appropriation
bills if some of them do fail" De.
layed consideration, he declared, meant
more complete consideration and more
thorough investigation into the bust
ness methods of expenditures by gov
ernmental departments.

FIFTY VETS PER|LED
Outrage Believed Aftermath of Gen.

culprit, Surprised Red
handed, Escapes.

Aberdeen, Wash.-An attempt to
dynamite the American Legion build
ing here was frustrated by Henry G.
Lancaster, a L~egionnaire, who dis
covered the smoking fuse of a package
of dynamite planted beneath a corner
of the building and stamped it out.
The package was found to contain
twenty-eight sticks of dynamite, each
with a percussion cap attached.
The dynamite was wrapped in a copy
of a Montesano, Wash, newspaper, and
had a ten-foot length of fuse attached.
Lancaster was passing the Legion
building when he saw a man crawling
away from it.
whats the matter?' asked Ian.
caster.
Nothing" the man replied, and
fed.
Lancaster's suspicious were aroused
and his investigation brought to light
the package, which he turned over tc
the police after extinguishing the
fuse.

About fifty veterans of the Ameri
can Legion were in the building al
the time, lined up to fill out their ap
plications for the state soldier bonus
Members of the Legion of Aberdeen
and nearby towns are assisting the

1t is believed that the attempt is
an aftermath of the Centralia
Armistice day murders when four for
mer service men were shot down. The
Aberdeen Legion post took part in the
early days of the trial of the murder
ers in guarding the county Jail at Mon
tesano, where the seven convicted mer
were held.
The fact that the dynamite was
wrapped in a Montesano newspaper
caused the police to believe the dyna

Britain's Proposal to Erase obi
cations Rejected, Says Chan
ceIIor Chamberlain.
WILL NOT ASK AGAIN
American Treasury Officials Fail to
Recall Proposition to Clean Slate
highlands Indebtedness.
About $4,000, ooo, 900.

Birmingham, England-The British
government formally proposed cancel
lation of all inter-Allied debts, but the
PROPOSAL was unacceptable to the
American government, said J. Austin
Chamberlain, chancellor of the exche-
quer, in a speech to his constituents
here.
ITO make them again." Mr.. Cham
berlain continued, would be, | think,
beneath our dignity and would make
us liable to a mis%conception of our
motive"
"In making them" he added, I'VE
sought no national advantage for our
selves. We proposed a solution in
which we should have foregone claims
larger than RENTED to us and we
proposed it because we believed it
would be in the interests of good rela-
lions among peoples, the %rehabilita-
ton of national credit and the r%estora-
ton of international trade.
Our great international debt is due
to the obligations we undertook on
behalf Of Jul Allies. If we had had
only ourselves to consider we should
have been virtually free of external
debt at the present time"
Mr.. Chamberlain prefaced his re.
marks by saying he would have pre-
ferred at the close of the war that
the whole inter-allied debt had been
Cancelled, so as to start with a clean
Slate. There was nc proposal for a
settlement of the international debt
among the Allied and Associated
powers, whether for a total or partial
remission. which the British govern.
ment would not have been prepared
to be a party to. he declared.
No Official Proposal Recalled.
Washington-Treasury officials re.
fused to comment on the statement
of the British chancellor of the exche.
quer, J. Austen Chamberlain, in an ad.
dress at Birmingham, England, that
the United States government refused
to accept British government proposal
that the inter-Allied debts arising from
the World wal be Cancelled.
No officials here are aware, it ap
pears. that the British government haG
ever, through any official channel, pro
posed a re mission or cancellation o.
the British war debt to the United
States. Great Britain's indebtedness
Of about $4,000, 600, 900 is far larger
than that Of any other of the Allied
countries, but this is explained by the
fact that Great Britain herself was q
creditor country. and had disburseG
American funds to her other allies.
