PROPOSAL Of RAIL
CHIEFS WOULD De
TOOCOSTLY, CLAIM

/ CHICAGO, March 24.-Negotiating
rules and working agreements on
each individual railroad as proposed
by the railway executives, would
cost the railroad workers more than
$4,000, 900 and require the services
before the railroad labor board today
by E. M. Jewell, president of the
railway employees department of the
American Federation of Labor, in
presenting the labor side of the con-
troversy over national rules and
agreements.
eff the request of the conference
committee of managers of the AS
ISOLATION of Railway Executives
were granted" said Mr.. Jewell, land
the national agreement abrogated by
decision of the board. remanding the
subject matter of rules and working
conditions to the respective railroads
and committees of the employees for
conference on individual lines, the
employees conference committee on
each railroad would necessarily be
composed of at least one man from
each craft at each point on the. rail-
road. For the 107 roads listed, the
figures show that the services of
5,15S committeeman would be re.
uuired at a total daily expense OF
S65,76o and a total expense OF 80
days Of s5,91s.442. besides additional
expenses.
much of this enormous expense
on both railroad management and
railroad labor, together with, the
consumption Of valuable time Of the
highly skilled and essential railroad
officials and railroad employees,
should be eliminated by cooperation
between railroad management ana
the recognized railroad labor organl-
cations through the creation OF
conference committee authorized to
represent on the one hand railroad
management, and on the other rail-
road employees of their particular
crafts"
He cited figures to show that 95
per cent Of the 455,776 railroad shop
members of their respective craft
organizations, and declared that since
1912 when the railway employees de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor was organized, there has
not been a single authorized strike
"It also is significant that dur
ing this time" Mr.. Jewell said, the
greatest progress toward the at
tainment of just and reasonable
wages and working conditions and
uniform rules applying alike to all
railroads, was made.
"As representing the federated
shop crafts employees, we hold that
an agreement applying alike to all
railroads will be a great, if not the
greatest. factor, in assisting to es-
tablish efficient and economical rail-
road operation. 1t will remove the
costly labor turnover. which always
has existed to a greater or lesser ex-
tent and is due mostly to the fact
that wages and conditions of en-
ployment on one railroad were more
favorable than upon another rail-
road"
Mr.. JEWELS statement is expected
to occupy several days in Its pres
entation to the labor board. follow
ing which the labor side will present
numerous exhibits on the various
rules and principles of the national
a agreement

RUSSIA HAS GOLD

| NEW YORK, March 24.-Soviet
Russia has millions in gold ready tc

QQuinlan, former labor leader, de.
c1ared here today.
Quinlan recently emerged from g
ten months stay in Russia.
Russia can pay for, and is in des-

machinery in enormous quantities.

tity of underwear; medical supplies

Gold is practically unlimited
quantities is ready. to pay for. the
goods, Quinlan said. He declared
the soviets positively will not trade
until they are given defacto recogni-
ton.
| Despite a months imprisonment in
Russia, Quinlin's views on the Boil
shevik regime were frankly sympa-
thetic.
There never was a government
so severely tried as the Bolshevik,'
he declared. "It has fought starva-
ton. blockade and war on every
front. It should have a chance tc
work out its experiment"
Among the mass of observations
and information Quinlan brought
back with him were these:
"Nikola Lenin is espousing rev.
olutionary opportunisem' in propos.
ing a lessening Of Bolshevik restric-
tions on trade and property owenr-
ship.
d He is not abandoning any prin-
ciples. When affairs are straighten-
ed out he will go right back to the
program. The soviets then probably
will profit by experience and be
more diplomatic.
THE sovietS were forced into vio-
lence from the first.
There have been ordinary difficult
ties in controlling the army. But
the kronstadt revolution was mere
ly quarrel and was not a revolu-
ton threatening to overthrow the
soviets.
"Lenin's recent proposals which
were looked upon by many as a re-
turn to capitalism were not official.
Lening simply suggested them to
the communist party just as Demo
cratic leader might advance a propo-
sltion in party invention here. His
plans will have to be approved by the
All-Russian soviet congress before
anything is done.
"Of course, Lenin will have his
way. He always does. But he
would not dare foresake communism.
They'd probably benead him"

Puzzles Young Woman

Miss Lowery was his fiancee and
few nights ago a messenger boy
rode up to her home, left note and
rode away.
Lieutenant Stainton's name was
signed to the note. It said, simply,
that he had arrived in Memphis,
learned that she had moved from
her previous address and would call
on her the next morning.
Next day came and several days
more passed with no more word
from the supposedly dead officer.
''The handwriting was his, l com

Miss Lowery said.
Miss Lowery is worried. Some
times she believes her sweetheart
is in Memphis, and again she is
afraid she has been made the VIC

Equally strange as his supposed re-
turn to Memphis is the story Of his
death. Samuel Dade, a friend who
