Senator Walsh also expects to win over some re- puSlicans who voted against him today.

ANOTHER OBSTACLE TO
 ISSUING OF BEER PERMITS

Washington, Oct 2s.-Sufferers seek ing relief through medical beer may be forced to wait temporarily for a source of supply, notwithstanding the issuance by the treasury of regulations covering the prescription of malt liquors by phy- scans, it was indicated tonight by Pro- hibition Commissioner Haynes.
 While he had been as yet unable to
 study the regulations. Mir. Haynes said
 he had been informed that experts of the prohibition unit had raised the question as to whether under the regulations, which provide for the manufacture of medical beer under permit. the brewers would be permitted to dispose of stocks which had been manufactured prior to the promulgation of the new rules and had not been de-alcoholzed for beverage i, purposes. This question, he added, would probably be a matter for confer ence between the prohibition unit and the l treasury
 Secretary Mellon, however, has ex- pressed tho opinion that large quantities | of beer which have not been de-alco- holized were available in brewers ware
 houses for medicinal purposes.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Railroad heads to- night declared the nations carriers would go right ahead with their plans to seek new wage cuts through railroad labor board hearings despite the an- nouncement from the unions that their action in calling off the strike scheduled for October 30 had been influenced by the boards announcement that pay re- auctions for any class would not be con- sidered until working conditions for that class had been settled.
 The calling off of the strike will have no effect on the plans announced by the carriers October 14 to seek immediate wage reductions so that rates could be reduced" said Samuel Felton, president of the Chicago Great Western and chai-- man of the Association of Western Rail- road Executives.
 T don't know how long, under the boards ruling. 1t will take to reach decision on any pay cut petition but the petitions undoubtedly will be presente within a very short time. It will be. up to the board to decide when action should be taken.
 'I want 1t made plain. however. that we will seek these reductions in accord ance with the law. posting notices of cuts, l then discussing them with the employees and, if no agreement is reached. appeal ing 10 the board to settle +he d.spute.''
 NIT. Felton's statements were reported | by Samuel Dunn, editor of Railway Age who in an address at a luncheon of the local railroad executives declared that the unions action settles only oneJthinG that there will he no strike-
 'It does not settle the question of further wage reductions or of rate re- ductions" he continued
 The roads are going right ahead with the plans to get further pay cuts and thus reduce rates. But. if the interstate commerce commission reduces rates and the labor board refuses to reduce wages the roads will be in disastrous condi- tion.'
 With the code messages officially call ing off the strike sent out today. -onl! one echo remained of the railroad crisii which for two weeks threatened to de velop into a general rail strike, The sit uation was unchanged on the Interna fional and Grest~-Northern,,s tfIe'' Texa line. where six hundred trainmen .starteS a walkout last Saturday.

GoMPERs TALKS or
 SPIRIT OF RESENTMENT

Washington, Ct. 2s.-Expressing of administration opinion on the withdrawal of the call for a railroad strike awaits the report sent President Harding by the railroad labor board. it was said to- day in high official circles.
 While the board does not usually re- port to the president upon its proceed ings. it will do so in this instance. it was explained. having been charged by the chief executive with the responsi- bility for meeting the strike situation. Beyond expressions of qualification that the threatened tie-up of the nations transportation systems had been ave-ted. cabinet members generally evidenced a desire to defer comment until more de- tailed knowledge of the basis of settle ment was at hand.
 The only expression of comment from labor circles came from President Com pers of the American Federation of La bor, who declared the spirit among railroad men today is one of resent ment."
 The railroad strike will not take place-now.- Mir. Gompers said. "but if the railroad labor board goes on cutting down wages and working conditions. the present American railroad labor organ izations-which are the most reasonable in the ws-ld-will be succeeded by or ganizations which will voice the senti- ment of the dissatified. the restless and the discontented."
 MT. Gon.pers emphasized his opinion that the establishment by the Esch-Cum- mins law of the labor board was an er- TOT in governmental policy.
 The board says 1t has 1900 cases on its docket now" he said. 'snd noth- ing could be 9 greater indictment of the law. It has made representatives of eul- ployer. and employe in the railroad world litigants, bound them to put the ex- treme force into all of their demands and to ield nothing.
 There has never been a case any where where the government has set u7 such tribunal to treat with labor mat ters that it has not resulted in muddiinE everything up.
 '-The governments position has slways come to one of coercing labor of threat ening with jail and injunction men whc consider striking Yet the fact is tha' American labor is made up of citizens Q. the republic who are not going 10 droI back. or to allow a withdrawal of th' standards Of living which they have st' tained by their efforts"
