Railroad Executives Agree on
Another Slash in Wages
Despite Strike Vote

Chicago, Oct. Is. (By Carl Victor,
Little) Powerful railroad unions,
turned down cold in an effort to help
negotiate with their employers, must
strike or back down. A strike seems
certain.
"What else is there left to do, but

Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
said in reply to question as the 900
general chairmen, representing
100000 railroad workers, started

said.
Confronted with the most serious
rebuff in the experience of railroad
unionism the workers representa-
tves were in an angry mood.

the nerve to suggest another wage

ers and employers before the case
can be brought to the board. The
roads, they declared. could arbitrarily
cut wages, the men would appeal for
relief and the hearing would be
called.
The whole procedure was mapped
out in Washington last week. The
whirl of events which jolted the
brotherhood in the last "a hours
were:
Railroad executives met. They
carried out their schedule of deciding
to cut wages. Labor leaders asked
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to slash freight rates if wages were
trimmed. A conference was granted.
| Executives told brotherhood chiefs
| that action had been taken. The en-
ployccS decided to walk out.

girls calf clubs and competitive ju-
Nor shows. There were only" 35
animals at the first state show; at
