FURTHER REDUCTION
in WAGES Is TO BE
ASKED BY RAILROADS
VIII Then Be Able to Make Re
duction in Freight Rates
Sought by Public.
WOULD APPROXIMATE
A TEN PERCENT. CUT
President of the Erie Railroad
Expresses Hope That the
Strike viii Occur.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE railroads Of
I the United States, through the Associa-
45tion Of Railway Executives, tonight Of
ficially reiterated their intention of maxi
ing immediate application to the Railroad
Labor Board "for a reduction in wages
of train service employees sufficient to
remove the increase made by the labor
boards decision of July 20, 1920, (Which
would involve a further reduction of ap-
proximately ten percent.). and for re-
duction in the wages of all other classes
OF railroad labor to the going rate for
such labor in the several territories,
where the carriers operate"
"Coneurrently with such reduction in
wages" a statement of the association
said, 'the benefit Of the reduction thus
obtained shall with the consent of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, be
passed on the public in the reduction of
existing railroad rates, except insofar
as this reduction shall have been made
in the meantime"
Thomas Dewitt Cuyler, chairman OF
the association. declared the proposition
of the public group Of the Labor Board,
that the IL percent wage reduction re-
Gently authorized be trapslated into low
er freight rates, before asking for more
wage reductions, had not been formally
brought to Its attention, the information
being obtained from the press.
After asserting that 'the intimation
Of the public members of the railroad
board is that the public has had no
benefit from the ~ percent. reduction in
wages authorized in July Mr.. Cuyier
decIarad- -4laa4 ssrsfera- -hnve been. in fact
extensive reductions, most OF them VoI-
untary in railroad rates. bringing about
a. large loss in earnings to the rail-
roads,
The reduction of wages made on July
1" ne added, was put into effect only
after many freight reductions had previ-
ously been made
In support of his claim. Mr. Cuyier
cites a long list of reductions made
after July 1. including "a reduction on
cargo coal from points in Ohio, Western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia to Lake
Erie ports affecting from August 1, to
october z, some 14.70oi 900 tons, on which
the actual loss of revenue to railroads
amounted to s4.116,OO0."
Reductions also had been made, he
said, on grain and grain products. road
making materials. export iron and steel
products and scores of other commodities
so that ION some railroads the reduction
in rates have amounted to more than
the reductions in wages so far made, I
and on many other railroads the reduce
tion in wages allowed no return on op- /
erations, but merely provided against /
the further accumulation of a deficit.
d. Underwood, president of the Erie /
Railroad, tonight expressed the hope that
the strike would actually occur This
is the time and the place for it." he
declared. adding that the strike was one
against the Umpire" or the United
States Railroad Labor szoard.'

MIR. ANDERSONS SPEECH.

Hon. Henry w. Anderson. Repub-
lican candidate for Governor, has
placed his cards on the tablc--"show-
ed his hand" as one man expresses
it. His address in Lexington and pub
lishcd in several papers, was clear
cut, well said, and makes easy inter
esting reading, and has been favor
ably received by his friends in boil,
political parties.
The remarkable thing about the
address is that it contained little if
anything, that is new. Mr.. Anderson
declares about the same doctrine, so
to speak, as his predecessors in every
campaign for the past number OF
years. How familiar it sounds when
he cries out against "office trusts"
inefiiciency, extravaganza in govern
mental management, the constitution,
Acknowledgement, poor roads, poor
schools, and the always handy sub
Ject, the old soldiers, ad iniinitum.
All these nre familiar subjects of at
tack, and have been for twenty five
years, whenever Republican candi-
date for Governor has been before the
people. Mr.. Anderson dcnounccs "mn-
chine politics." We hadn't heard that
once familiar expression for so lone
that almost concluded that the old
machine had rusted out or worn ont
and had been consigned to the scrap
heap. 1t is really amusing to hear n
Republican candidate dcnouncinr "thc
machine" when, us Mr.. Anderson
knows and everybody else knows.
that the Republicans, where their
maJorities admit of it, are famous M
"machinlsts," Tazewcll County for
instance, and the entire Ninth Dis
trlct, where the machine" is of the
most approved type, always oiled,
and smoothe. And, so. it is amusing
to hear Republican candidate cry
ing machine, machine" We think Mt
once of the cry. "stop thief"
1t is noticeable again, that Mr..
Anderson address, and those deliver.
ed by his opponent, Mr.. Trinklc. run
almost parallel. Mr.. Trinklc declar-
cd for reformation and increased
efficiency along the very same line,
almost from beginning to end, as
does Mr.. Anderson, if we can sec
straight and understand plain lam
guage. We had almost concluded that
Mr. Anderson's speech with few
exceptions was about as clearly ID.
mocratic as it is Republican, ana
this IS paying Mr.. Anderson's speech
high praise.

FLIVVER KING TURNS RAIL-
ROAD WIZARD.

Henry Ford went on record as the
top-notch ignoramus of big business.
Lately, he also went on record as
the best little railroad doctor in these
United States.
In the six dull months of this
bluc-nosed year Ford yanked the De-
troit 4 Toledo Railroad out of d
yawning deficit and gave it flying
start with $1,261 ,259 surplus and net
operating income of $567,618. Where
the road before handled 200 cars in
"a hours, Ford steamed up to 1920
cars in IL hours. Besides, he order
ed the operating officials out of their
private cars and make them take
regular service or walk. And on tip
of all these innovations he managed
to reduce the train schedule fully
two hoursl
Did the Flivver King do those
things by reducing wages and laying
off men? He did not. Clumsy, old
fashioned subtcrfuge of this stripe
inly appeals to Irregular" railroad
men.
Did he accept the wage scale of
the labor unions? He did not. He
did better than that. He raised his
| wages over the union scale, and not
| only disposed of all labor troubles
and chickering's by this bold stroke
but secure fir his roa n gang of men
who went to work with q CLEAN in
the eye.
Hen Ford is rotten scholar, but
he is whale of business man. And
business management is what the
roads need now, rather than sittin,
tight on ancient "rail" experience.
Henry Ford's achievement shiuld be
an inspiration to the pessimists WIN
seem to think that there is nothing
doing in dull times. Lots of things
are actually easier now than in boom
times if you'd only study your prob
lem rs Ford studied his. There are
no dull days for the man who can!

London Company vast territory of
which Virginia is part. This com

But the great influx was in the
time of Cromwell when the head of
Charles rolled in the saw dust.
Then it was that the followers of
the king had to disguise themselves,
take to the brush and get out of the
country any way they could. if thew
wished to keep their heads on their

population of Virginia doubled in Il
very short time. Afterwards Chas.

the State Department to be acceptable

Replying to Panama's vigorous pro-
test against Secretary Hughes's an

Of Chief Justice White must be put
into effect in it's entirety. the latest
communication, while adhering to the
previous declaration regarding the
Pacific end of the boundary, opens the
door to amicable settlement by agree
ing to discuss further the Atlantic end
The note is considered by diplomats
here to have dealt death blow to anv
possibility that the League of Nations
might be called on to act in the ques-
ton, by citing provisions of a treaty
drawn in 1915 whereby Panama and
Costa Rica agreed to submit disputes
to the United States as mediator This
treaty. signed by the three powers, was
negotiated by William Jennings BRYAN.
