ND ACTION ON B. R,
 WAGE REDUCTIONS
Executive Council A. E. of L.
 Makes Decision

Atlantic City, Aug 29.-The execu- tive council of the American Federation of Labor has decided to take no action regarding railroad wage reductions.
 Members said today, however, that the council stood ready to assemble in special conference and give any aid by any of the organizations of union railroad workers.
 The council in accordance with the instructions of the Denver convention is working on a plan to bring about public ownership and democratic con- troI' of the nations railroad system.
 But nothing definite in this regard can be expected for some months, la Dor leaders says, as it is impossible to arrange conferences with the leaders of the railroad unions at this time when they are occupied with the wage reduc- tion situation.
 Investigation of salaries being paid railroad executives is being made by the council with view to bringing pres sure to bear to have these salaries re- duceo until other wage earners on railroads are paid a wage sufficient to keep them in decency and comfort.
 DeIdllS Ol tIlo pIOpOSeu 1uNeSuSdIlO1l into the use of workers savings by banks and insurance companies were announced today. The council proposes to inquire into the ''present credit sys- tenn of the country'' and to study the Kenyon rural credit bill. Consideration is also to be given to proposal to organize the proxy voting power of workers who hold policies in mutual in surance companies.
 Upon the conclusion of it's investiga- ton the council is empowered to take
 'whatever action it deems best and prudent to the end that the interests, rights and opportunities of the work CTS and farmers shall be amply protect ed and fully promoted
 A report before the council says it is believed funds and savings of the work CTS accumulated by the banks and in l surance companies and the present credit system of the country to a large extent have been used Ito crush and destroy the trade union movement and | impoverish the workers well the | farmers.'

 In conjunction with a MT. Hoffman, MT. Walsh bought a Main street res taurant and meeting with success in his new enterprise shortly afterward pur- chased the building in which the res taurant was located. Up to about five years ago, he was active in the man agement of the business.
 The deceased was at all times a sportsman of the highest type. Inter ested in races and racing horses, he de- rived considerable pleasure in follow ing the various events on the turf.
 Interested in Sports.
 The construction of baseball diamonds at Walnut Hill park is due mainly to the activities of MT. Walsh when he was a member of the board of park commissioners. In fact, friends say, it was mainly to bring about the estab- Hshment of the sorely needed baseball fields, that the successful restaurateul agreed to accept his first and only pub lie office.
 MT. Walsh interested himself great ly in growing boys, particularly as to athletics. An incident is related con- cerning Commercial street baseball team whose progress he had watched with eager interest. So successful had they been during the season that, at the windup he brought the entire squad to New York city to witness, as his guest, the New York Giants in action.
