an adverse report will be submitted

izations in some Of the roads in group
four are not officially authorized to
strike, some organizations not casting
the necessary 66 2-3 per cent vote in
favor of the walkout.
The Big Five" leaders expect, how
ever, that all organizations on such
roads will follow the general walkout
being influenced to join the strike by
seeing their brothers quit.
Stone said he believed that the rail
roads want strike and that fur
ther reduction in wages is much less
desirable TO the railroad executives
than the abrogation of rules and regu-
latinns
ut it had been a question of wage
reductions only, there would have
been no strike" he said, adding that

CHICAGO. Oct. 17.-tBy the ASso-
western railroads, in a statement to-
night, turned down as impossible"
the proposal OF the railroad labor
board public group that freight rates
be reduced Immediately as a possible
means of averting a general rail strike
and charged that the proposed walk
out would be a strike against the gov
ernment. called by the unions primar-
lily for the purpose of nullifying the
transportation act, creating the labor
board"
The statement followed meeting
of the Association of Railroads En-
tering Chicago. and was signed on be-
half of the organization by Samuel
FELTON,, president of the Chicago.
Great Western. The Chicago and
Northwestern. the Chicago. Burling-
ton and Quincy. the Santa Fe. the Chi

Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul are
some of the larger roads represented
at the meeting.
The thing it is proposed TO strike
against is the decision of the railroad
labor board authorizing the reduction
railways put into effect July L. said
the statement. There is at present
no other possible ground for strike
by the railway labor brotherhoOds.
History Of Situation
"The labor board was created by
the Transportation Act passed by con
gress in 1920. which delegated to il
the duty, in case of disputes. OF deter
mining reasonable wages and working
conditions. The wage reduction put
into effect July l was authorized by
the board under the provision of this
act. Therefore, the strike which has
been ordered will be. if it occurs.
strike against decision made by a
government body acting in accord
ance with a federal law.
The situation presented is, in inn
portant respects. more serious than
that created by the issuance of
strike order by the same labor organ
iZations in 1916, which precipitated
the passage of the Adamson Act. AT
that time, while the railways had
asked for arbitration. there had not
been any arbitration because the Ia
Dor unions had refused il. Therefore
the labor unions then were within the
law The present case is different
There is now law which requires
the railways and their employees to sub
nit to the labor board disputes which
NAV interrupt transportation.
While the railways complied with
the decision in 1920 for an advance in
wages. the labor brotherhoOds now
propose to defy the law and strike
rather than accept much smaller re
duction in wages. The course OF the

ship Is Behind Strike

NEW YORK, Oct. IL Declaring
that the railroads already had reduced
freight rates, bringing about loss
in earnings Thomas Dewitt Cuyler,
chairman of the Association of Rail
way Executives, tonight replied to the
proposition of the public group of the
railroad labor board that the II per
cent wage reduction recently author
lied be translated into lower freight
rates before asking more wage reduc-
tions. Cuyler said that the PROPOSE
tion had not been formally brought to
his attention, his information being
obtained from press reports.
After asserting that the 'intimation
of the public members of the board is
that the public has no benefit from the
II per cent reduction in wages author
lied in July" Cuyler declared:
There have been extensive reduc-
tions, most of them voluntary, in rail.
road rates, bringing about a large loss
in earnings to the railroads.
"The reduction of wages made on
July l, was put into eject only after
many freight reductions had previous
ly been made"
Shows Many Reductions
He cited many reductions made af-

on which the actual loss of revenue to
railroads amounted to $4,116,000."
Reductions also had been made, he
said. on grain and grain products. road
making materials, export iron and
steel products and scores of other com
modities so that ION some railroads
the reductions have amounted to more
than the reductions in wages, and on
many other railroads the reduction in
wages allowed no return on opera
tions, but merely provided against
further accumulation of deficit"

railroads to make immediate applica
tion to the railroad labor board "fol

WHY THE HURRY?

Each days news tells of deaths
resulting from automobile accidents
The aged are run down, and mortally
injured, little children at play or on
the way TO school are run over and
their mangled bodies left to be pick
ed up by relatives or friends. Men
and women in the vigor of life also
fell victims. Laws are made to ostrv
to regulate the automobile make
it safe-and still the death list
creeps higher and higher. Some
times one wonders whether the pleas
IRE car is rightly named and wheth-
er the automobile is a blessing or a
curse.
Speeding" appears to be the direct
cause of most automobile accidents
1t is to be noted that the penalty for
speeding is being made more severe
with the passing years. 1t will be
interesting to note whether Iegisla-
tion and safety methods can count
eract the increasing danger from
automobiles due to the rapidly grow
ing number of cars in use.--Wil-
