DISCUSS PROBLEMS
Of THE RAILROADS
PRESIDENT HEARS REPRESENTA-.
TIvES OF LABOR BOARD AND
COMMERCE COMM SSlON.
Statement Made That Increased Rates
Would Only StifIe Commerce
Predicted That Railroads May
Go into Hands of Receivers.

Washington.-As his first move in
his endeavor 10 alleviate the critical
financial condition of the railroads,
President Harding conferred for more
than two hours. on March 81, with
Chairman Clark of the interstate com
merce commission and Chairman Bar
ton of the railway labor board.
The discussion revolved around the
effect of the business depression on
volume of transportation, operating
expenses Of the carriers and feasible
economics of the proposed reduction
of wages and of freight rates.
Mr.. Clark informed the president
that any further increase of rates
would only Stifle commerce without
producing additional revenue and that
reduction of rates is out of the Ques-
ton, until operating expenses are cur
tailed.
A high official of the administration
declared that in the event business did
not improve generally within the next
six months, great many railroads
would be in the hands of receivers by
July l, which would be equivalent tC
government operation.
The conference closed without plans
for other meetings of the same char
acter and nothing in the way of join
action by the interstate commerce
commission and the railroad labO
, board to meet the existing situation il
, contemplated.
President Harding, it was learned

London.-The universal cessation of
work by the coal mines has taken eff
fact with remarkable quietude, and
under circumstances In strong contrast
with all recent labor disputes, whether
on the part of the railway men, the
miners or in Industries. The course
of these previous conferences was char
acterized by active conferences and
negotiations between the parties con-

bers of the government, all of whom
displayed anxiety to find path of
settlement.
Over million coal miners are now
/ out on strike.
! Up to the present the order with
/ drawing the engineers and pumpmen
from the mines has been largely
ignored. Whether this is with the
cognizance of the miners federation
leaders, owing to the general depreca-
ton against removing the men on the
part of the newspapers, is not known,
but the general belief expressed is
that the men have not been withdrawn
owing to desire not to prejudice the
situation pending conference of la
