Executives Assert
 Wage Slashes Must .Precede Freight Cuts
Virtual Armistice In Ef- feet Today in Fight That Threatens Tieup of Transportation Fa- cilitieS.

New York, Oct. 19.-Assert- ing that the railways will op- crate just the same" in spite of any strike, but admitting a strike would seriously impair the morale of the railway or ganiZations, statement was is- sued by the American Railway Executives Association today stating there could be no re- duction in freight rates until wages were slashed. The state ment pointed out that the rail- ways were in most cases only able to pay interest on their bonds and to reduce freight rates without cutting wages would impair bond values.
 Chicago, Oct. 19.-A virtual armis- tice in the rail strike situation was in effect today as all factions in the fight that threatens a nationwide tie up of the country's transportation fla cilfties awaited the conference to- morrow of chiefs of the railroad broth erhoods with members of the United States Railway Labor Board.
 The imAression prevailed in labor circles here that the strike will be aVerted or at least postponed. Labor leaders have declared that any fec- tion that would assure a withdrawal of proposals of present wage cuts by the railroads would foresta-ll the strike and postponement of further wage reductions have been announced as a definite part of the Labor Board plan for settlement of the contro-- versy.
 Members of the Labor Board were to hold an executive session during the day at which the plan for ad- justment of the dispute is to be dis cussed. It was learned that the high lights of the scheme, which is believ- ed to have the sanction of President Harding inc1ude:
 Immediat suspension of the strike order pending further negotiations looking toward a settlement.
 Use of the influence of the Brother hood leaders to forestall a strike or der by any other labor organizations not considering a walk out.
 Proposal of a platform on which final settlement might be reached. this platform to include the following points
 (A)-withdrawal for a definite period of the proposed request by the roads for the further 10 per cent. wage reductions.
 (B) - Immediate reduction of freight rates by the roads.
 The completion of this platform. 1t was believed certain today would avert the present strike as it would put halt to contemplated wage reductions The strike vote taken by the rail unions was solely on the question of wage cuts. This settlement would not, however, adjust other points in dispute between the roads and their employees that train service men have emphasized as of highest import ance.

Woolley Says Democrats Must
Function as Peoples
Lobby.

The charge that the effort Of GER
tain members OF the Democratic
organization to force an early meet
ing of the national committee is in
behalf OF william G. McAdoo. was
vigorously resented yesterday by
Robert W. Woolley. McAdoo supper
ter at San Francisco and one OF the
signers Of the round-robin request
ing Chairman White to convene the
committee on March l.
WooIIey asserted that the charge
fails utterly" as an analysis OF the
petitioners preferences as to csndi-
dates prior TO the San Francisco
convention "discloses the fact that
among them are to be found a num-
Der OF former supporters Of each OF
the three leaders for the nomina-
ton"
II is WoOlIey's contention. he e1.
planned. that the Democratic forces
should organize at once. not in the
interests Of the candidacy OF one
man for the nomination as far dis
tant as 1924 but for party solidar.
ity.
What is absolutely necessary"
he continued, lis that the Senate
and House minoritics. having been
FIRST efficiently organized. shall CO.
operate in the closest possible
manner with the national chairman
to the end that whoIe-hearted sup
port he given to the Republican n
majority whenever such support is
deserved and attacking whenever
that which is UndemoCratic or un-
