PUBLIC T() BY WAGE (,UT
Roads To Withdraw Re- quest For Further Wage Reductions Until Rate Cuts Are Completed
CANCEL STRIKE CALL
Suggestion Would Lower
 Living Costs And Re- move Employees Argu- ment For General Strike

WASHINGTON. Oct. 16-Immedi- ate translation of the reduction auth orized last July i wages of railroad employees into reduced freight rates, was suggested by the public group of the railroad labor board tonight as ''one feasible plan by which the pres ent controversy can be settled and a strike averted."
 If the railroads will immediately. in good faith. adopt this suggestion,' the public group said. in the first statement issued since arrival in Washington, the situation can be cleared. freight rates reduced to ship pers. the cost of living reduced, and a stimulating effect exerted on sll business"
 Under the plan suggested by tie public group, the railroad would with draw their request for further wage reductions until freight reductions have been completed. and pending action of the board on such petition for further reduction as the carriers may subsequently submit. .the union would withdraw the strike order.
 The suggestion of the public group was based, the statement said on one put forward by w W. Atterbury. vice president of the Pennsylvania railroad, before a convention in Chi cago last Friday.
 The statement given out by Ben W. Hooper. member of the group who. said it was drafted by the entire membership follows;
 Up until Friday there was but lit- tle if any danger of railroad strike. The railway workers would have brought down on their heads univer- sal condemnation for resisting by force a wage cut as manifestly just and reasonable as that made iE July. It may likewise. be said that it re- mains to be seen whether issuance of a strike order merely because pe- tition for a wage reduction k about to be filed will be sustained by the public.
 Board Decision Respected
 "The railroad labor board has func- toned for more than IS months. sett- ling hundreds of controversies, and it's decisions, with but few exceptions. have been respected by both sides. There would have been strike long ago, if the two parties had undert7- ken to settle without intervention CT supervision the manifold they in, herited from the war period There is absolutely nothing in existing con- ditions that justifies the carriers and their employees in inflicting the rufn- ous results of a strike on themselves and on. the public There is no amount of propaganda that can con- vince the people that either side s entirely blameless.

 FEDERAL TROOPS CONTROLPU WIEN GOVERNOR
 SANCHEZ LEAVES

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 16.-Jose Ma ria Sanchez, governor of Puebla state, fled from Puebla last night on horseback, accompanied by 30 fol- lowers, during demonstration against state authorities who were charged with being responsible for the new tax law, which is alleged to provide for excessive rates.
 Although martial law has not been promlaimed, federal troops under General Maycotte are guarding the city in the absence of the civil au- thorities and the police. Events leading up to the flight of the governor were almost Of riot ous nature. The climax came when a crowd escorting General Maycotte l from the railroad station to the main l plaza, following return of the gen. eral from Mexico City, was fired on !! by city police from the towers of the cathedral. Several persons are re- ported shot.
 The general withdrew and exhort- | ed calmness. The crowd was some what pacified when it was announced l that the police had surrendered, as
 serting that they fired only when | they thought the cathedral was to be
 stormed.
 Later the general attempted to get | in touch with Governor Sanchez, but
 it was discovered he had mounted his horse and started for Mexico City When this announcement was made to the crowd there was joyful dem onstration. The belief prevailed that the federal officials would adjust the
 matters at issue between the state government and people.
 Reports from villages indicate san- guinary encounters occurred Satur-
 day between villagers and the mu-
 nicipal authorities. The prlnclpa

LABOR BOARD SUGGESTS PLAN TO
 HALT STRIKE AND AID BUSINESS
Labor Boards Plan
 To Prevent Strike

COndensing the labor boards suggestions to avert rail strike into definite propositions they stand:
 T. Let the carriers immediately give general rate reduction, measured by the July wage duction, and the benefits derived from the rules; and devised under supervision of the in- terstate commerce commission to afford the great est degree of relief to the public
 2. Let the request for further wage reduction be withdrawn, until rate reductions completed.
 B. At such times as the carriers deem advis- able let them present to the labor board their pc ttionSfor further reduction in wages, based on conditions then existing
 "A. Pending the working out of the rate reduc- ton and the action the labor board on such peti tion for further wage reduction as the carriers may subsequently, submit, let the strike order be withdrawn.
 "This method of procedure has the merit of affording cooling time to everybody concerned and requires of the carriers only one thing, that they give to the public in reduced freight rates the benefit of the July wage cut, just they are pro- posing to do in case of further wage reductions It order by the employees.
 'The course suggested does not involve any sacrifice of pride prestige either to the carriers or to the employees.
 Tn view of the enormous destruction of prop erty values the deadly blow to slowly reviving bus mess and the appalling human privation suffering and death that will follow tieup of the country's transportation system, the people should bring to bear on both parties the pressure of an impartial public sentiment

URGE RATE CUTS TO AVERT STRIKE
STRIKE COMMENT

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 16-With the announcement today that the Big Five railroad transportation chiefs will met here Tuesday to discuss the plans of carrying on the nation wide railroad strike set to be- gin Oct. 90, W. c. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men. declared nothing but a miracle could prevent the strike.
 MT. Lee returned to headquarters today from Chicago and began send ing out officicl notices of the strike order to approximately 300 general chai1men of his organization.
 Nothing but miracle can stop this strike" he said. "Stin there may be a savior some place, but I am afraid not"
 Mir. Lee explained that the strike order was final no provisions being made for postponement. Only a sat- isfactory settlement before the date of the strike has been provided for MT. Lee said that the strike is in protest against the 12 per cent wage reduction of the railroad labor board, effective last July 1.
 He explained that when the five railroad organization chiefs met with a committee Of five railroad mana gers in Chicago Friday, to consider this wage reduction and were in formed by tLe railroad managers that further 10 per cent wage reduction would be requested, the brotherhood chiefs gave up hope of an amicable settlement and the strike order re- suited.
 Mir. Stone, w. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Bremen and Enginemen; L F. Sheppard, presi- dent of the Order of Railroad Con- ductors: and T. F. Cashion. president of the Switchmen's Union of North America, are expected tomorrow.
 Orders for calling off the strike in case a satisfactory agreement" has been reached are contained in sealed code messages mailed general chair men with the strike order, which are not to be opened until in receipt o& code telegram. If this code tele- gram and the sealed code message are identical the general chairman will know the strike has been settled.
