of Lowering freight and passenger rates in the future.
 Tt was determined by the railroads of the United States to seek to bring about a reduction in rates" said the statement telling of the proceedings of the meeting of the executives, and as a means to that end to seek a reduction in present railway wages which compelled maintenance of pres ent rates.
 An application will be made im- mediately tosthe United States rail- road labor board for a reduction sn wages of train service employees sui ficient to remove the remainder of the increase made by the labor board de- cision of July 20. 1920. (which would involve a further reduction of ap-- proximately 10 per cenD, and for a reduction in the wages of all other classes of railroad labor to the going rate for such labor in the several ter- ritories where the carriers operate.
 The foregoing action is upon the understanding that concurrently with such reduction in wages. the benefit of the reduction thus obtained shall.
 with the concurrence of the interstate
 commerce commission. be passed on to the public fin reduction of existing
 railroad rates except insofar as such
 reduction shall have been made in the meantime.
 'The railroads decided upon this course in view of their realization of the fact that wheels of industrial activity have been slowed down to a point which brings depression and distress to the entire public and that something must be done to start them again in operation"
 The statement then gives a lengthy review of railroad finances and de- clares that it is manifest that the re- cent reductions of wages authorized by the tabor board in no sense solves the problem Of labor costs and in nc
 way makes it possible for the rail- roads to afford a reduction in their revenues"
 The statement points out that many roads voluntarily have made freight rate reductions and adds that the rate of return earned by the roads in 1920 on the basis of investment was
 "oniy 0.32 per cent"
 Later tonight Mir. Lee said that the 1 district chairmen of the unions would receive their final instructions to- morrow as to whether there would be a strike. Asked point blank if a strike would be ordered, he said: T will not say definitely. but were a l betting man I would place my money that there will be a strike

 Farley Beneficial
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON. Oct. 14.-Presi- dent Harding told newspaper cores pondents at their regular conference with him today that he regarded the results of the unemployment conference, which closed here yester- day, as very beneficial.
 "The unemployment conference. said MT. Harding, has born rich re- wards to the unemployed of this country"
 The conference already has stim- ulated an increase in employment in many sections of the country, sam uel Gompers. president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor said tonight in a statement. Representatives of the American Labor movement can readily give support to the pronounce ments of it he said, since all of the many proposals purporting to be to the interests of the working peo- ple' which were offered were rejected by the conference.

MASKED BANDITS .HOLD UP FRISCO POSTAL BRANCH
tRepublIcan A. p. Leased WIre1

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 14-Four armed and masked bandits this eve ming held up three clerks in the Rialto branch postoffice in the down. town district and escaped in an au- tomobile with one pouch of mail. The value of the loot is not known.
 Postal officials said the pouch con- tained about 200 registered parcels.
 The branch postoffice is situated at the corner of Mission and Mont gomery streets, two blocks from Market street.
 The office is nearer the banking and financial district than any other branch and has the largest volume of registered business of any in the city. As a result the amount in- volved in the robbery is expected to be high.
 The robbery took place after the days business had been completed though work of sorting and sacking late mail still was going on. The robbers, according to H. J. Griffith, who saw the holdup from his auto mobile, parked across the street from the branch, gained entry when one of the late workers came out of the office to take up mail from a box in front.

The union leaders asked recon sideration of their request of last July that a I2" per cent wage reduc- tion grainted by the labor board not be put into effect immediately, but no further wage reductions be sought at present and that no change be made in the overtime pay rate. This request was refused by regional con -ferences of the roads at that time
 In reply to tonight's proposal that the request be reconsidered, the rail- heads simply presented their state ment announcing the proposal to seek new reductions and not 10 reduce rates until further reductions were granted.
 The labor leaders left the confer ence immediately andfew of them would discuss its proceedings or pre- dict the results
 T am no prophet" said Warren S Stone. president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. What will happen is more than I can say
 w. c. Lee. president of the Broth erhoo6 of Railroad Trainmen, refused to discuss the situation after the meeting. but previous to it had said that the roads must be crazy to seek a new reduction when the men have just authorized a strike over an old wage cut"
 F. $. Binkerd of the Association of Railway Executives said that the transportation system was facing one of its greatest crises. but also re- fused to make predictions.
 Union leaders freely admitted however, that there had been little harmony between the committees in the conference.
 The labor committee was composed of MT. Lee. Warren $. Stone, presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers. l.. l.. Sheppard, pres fdent of the Order of Railway Con ductors. w. S. Carter president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Engineers, and r. C. Cash en. president of the Switchmen s union of North America.
 The railroad executive committee was as follows:
 c. II. Markham. president of the Illinois Central: w. w. Atterbury, vice. president of the Pennsylvania J. T.. German. president of the Chi cago Rock Island and Pacific; sCarl R. Gray, president of the Union Pa cific and Ralph Buff, president of the Great Northern.
 The decision of the executives fol- lowed consideration of numerous plans and proposals regarding wages and rates. One proposal was for an immediate reduction in freight rates on agricultural commodities, the re- l duction to be effective for 60 or se days as a test. This plan met with ! opposition most of the roads main ! taining they could not exist wlth lower rates. The announcement was embodied l in a statement of some 15eO words ! reviewing the financial conditions oi | the railroads.
 If followed an announcement from the labor board that the piece sys- tenn rate of pay had been restored

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 14- Truth in advertising will make you" declared Richard H. Lee, counsel for the Associated Advertising clubs of the World, in an address to the dele gates attending the convention of the New England advertising clubs, who were given a banquet tonight by local newspaper publishers.

 "A country wide survey has proved to me that 96 per cent of advertis- ing is trustworthy. All there is to advertising is reader confidence. The day of false advertising must cease or advertising will cease, retailing will ceas
 Truth in advertising is advertis- CTS protection and his defense against the false advertiser. Newspapers 1 throughout the country and the fed eral government stand solidly be- 1 hind the truth in advertising move ment.'

 that time another bill providing for
 reapportionment under the 1920 cen | sus without increasing the number 1 of members was passed by the house i but no action was taken on it by the 1 senate

 crease in membership.
 1 Chairman SiegeI and Representa- | tive Larsen of Georgia, a democratic member of the committee, pleaded
 for the measure, while Representa-
 tives Fairfield and Rankin, demo crats of Mississippi, directed the at tack against it. Party lines were disregarded in the final vote.

 in the size of the house at the last
 session, he favored the Siegel bill brought criticism from several re-
 publicans opposed to the measure Representative Cooper of Wisconsin
 and Beedy of Maine. being particu-
 Iarly emphatic in their remarks.
