IL. T. Brougham, who is handling

crate upon the statement given out on
Monday. He refused to say who was
present or whether any or all of those

MIR. Brougham volunteered the in
formation that the plan was to have a
school supported by organized labor
with view to educating the workers
along social" lines.
was asked, that such school or col
leee would serve as the political
mouthpiece for labor?"
"The education will not be political, !"
he replied. ut will be along social
lines only"
Mr.. Brougham added: "The plans be-
ing discussed are based on four funda-
mental tenets:
"First-That new social order is
needed and is coming in fact, it is al
ready on its way
only hasten its arrival, but will reduce
to minimum and perhaps do away
with recourse to violent methods.
"Third-That the workers are the
cnes who will usher in this new order.
"Fo Fourth-That there is immediate
need for = workman's college with a
broad curriculum. located in these
healthy country surroundings, where
the students can apply themselves to
the task in hand"
Mr.. Brougham said the discussions
brought out that the points at issue in
the curriculum were the extent to
which political economy or social eco
nomics should absorb the attention of
the students.

Men Reject
Pennsylvania
Lines Pay Cut
First Executive Conference
Results in Maintenance
of Way Workers Refusing
to Accept Reductions
Now Up to Labor Board
Representatives Of Signal
Corps Will Meet With
the Managers Tomorrow

PITTSBURGH, March 31-Thc first
of series of wage conferences be-
tween executives of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company and Representatives
Of the employees ended late to- day
when the delegates, named to present
the case of $4,000 maintenance of way
and structures and unskiled forces,
refused to accept a wage reduction
ranging from Is to % per cent.
The committee of general managers
of the road, in charge of tho confer
ence, suggested that the workers in
question accept the cut. Repre- senta-
tives of the men held a separate meet
ing late in the afternoon and decided.
on behalf of the employees, to reject
the proposed reduction. This refusal
automa tically threw the case into the
hands OF the Federal Railway Labor
Board.
Proposed Cuts
W. S. Burrell, of Chicago, chairman
OF the wage bureau of the road, pre-
sented the company's proposition to the
twenty-five representatives of the men.
Under the plan, common labor, now
paid 1872 cents an hour, would be re-
classified info zones and paid from 80
to 81 e cent? an hour: skilled mechan-
les would be paid 591a cents an hour.
cut of 121a cents; day rate employees
would be reduced 81 day, and the
pay Of monthly men, such as foremen,
etc, now receiving $110 to 5000 a
month, would be reduced $25 a month.
c. S. Krick, of the general mana
gers committee, opened the confer
ence by explaining the situation as
viewed by the company Conditions,
revision downward
Replying to Mr.. Krick, L. I. Kennedy,
of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Way Employees and Railroad Shop
Laborers, contended that it was diff
cult to compare skilled and unskilled
labor in railroad work with similar
work outside. He said that the rela-
tion between the cost of living and the
wages paid could not influence the de-
cision. "for the fact is that it cannot at
this time be shown that the cost of
living has been materially reduced"
SignaImen Next
In conclusion, he told the general
managers that the men 'feel that, at
this time, a reduction in the wages
or salaries paid employees is unwar-
ranted."
The conference to-day was the initial
meeting between representatives. of tie
company and its employees. AS each
group of workers was given two days
to present its case there will be no
meeting tomorrow, for too days con-
ference was adjourned after the COM
mittee of the workers had rejected the
proposed reductions. On Saturday the
managers will meet with representa-
tives of the signal men.
In a statement issued tonight the
general managers committee of the
road disclaimed responsibility for fail
ure of the conference to reach an
agreement. Mr. krick. chairman of thc
committee, declared that after the en-
ployees' representatives had announced
their determination to reject the plans
for wage cut the managers suggested
that they submit a counter PROPOSE
ton in order that some basis of further
discussion might be reached" This
PROPOSAL he added was refused

about five years ago WIGS sharnlv cr;+i-
cl]ed because it was charged the Ad-
brought pressure on the
interstate Commerce Commission to
increase freight rates. There is rea-
son TO believe President Harding is
noo dlsposed to put himself in posi-
''oll where ne is open to such criticism.
Nevertheless, the activity of tho
President and Cabinet has directed
public attention more keenly than ever
10 the relationship of reduced wages
to the present railroad difficulties and
10 the fact that if rates are to be re-
duced 1t is almost inevitable wages
shall be reduced.
The Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion has been making an Investigation
into the condition of the railroads and
the heavy increase in operating ex-
penses. Chairman Clark is understood
to have advised the President concern
ing this at to-days conference. The
Senate Interstate Commerce Com
mlttee expects to have a report from
the commission soon after the extra
session opens on what it has found.
Seeks Full Information
The President is said to have en-
phasized at the conference that his
purpose first was to obtain facts and
information. One of the matters
brought up was the statement of the
Association of Railway Executives.

on earnings and showing the roads
operated at a loss Of million dollars
in January
so far as announced, the President
has no conferences arranged with the
railway executives. He has no present
plan to see the two charmen again.
Various leaders in Congress will be
called in before the extra session opens
to go over the railroad question.
Any question as to whether railroad
matters will force themselves on the
attention of both houses has been re-
moved. The President may present

DEVELOPMENT / W0RKAT NIXON
Encouraging. Feature, Says U. S. Geolog-
 ical Survey.

Speaking of the important mining events in 1920, the U. s. Geological Survey, in it's advance statement, has the following regarding the develop mont of the Nixons Fork properties
 s'One of the most encouraging fea- tnres of the years. mining was the systematic development of large auriferous lode in the Nixon Fork Me- GTathl district In the Upper Kusko- kwim valley. This ore body gives promise of being valuable. and if it so proves it will assure the beginning of d lode mining industry in this remote region. Auriferous miueralizasion ap- pears to be rather widely distributed in the Kuskok vim. basin. region which has, been relatively little pros- pected. The gold of this region occurs in association with granite rocks, which are intruded Into limestone and other little altered sedimentary rocks. In general the strong minerali3ation appears to be more localiEed than thai in the schist areas of the upper Yukon. Such conditiens are favorable to the occurrence of commercial ore tbodies.
 ''The discovery of this lode and the continued successof the Candle creek dfedge. saraM MeGrath, has attracted attention tosshe Kuskokwim basin. and there has consequently been more prospecting in'' this province than in any other part of inland Alaska. Espe- eially noteworthy has boen the consid- erable search and tests for dredging ground in the Kuskokwim and immedi- ately adjacent region during the last two years"

PARK POLICEMAN P1NCHED

Considerable interest was aroused
locally over law suit heard in JUS
tice Gillespie's court Tuesday after
noon, when Paul Marschall was ar
rested and tried for striking one Of
the Bosch I over the head at the ball
game Monday afternoon. Marschall
was acting as one of the park police,
and was engaged in helping handle
the mammoth crowd at the ball game.
The complaining witness was inside
the fence back Of first base, and Mar
schall hit him over the head when he
refused to sit down when ordered. !.
The evidence showed that Marschall
ordered him four times to sit down
before striking him, and was answered
by the demand that he make the
others sit down.
Marschall was fined IS and costs.
amounting to $13. .95 in all. The au-
.thorities state that threats had been
made to "get" Marschall if he wasn't
punished legally.

time, two of the picture solicitors are
hard to catch; and Sheriff Ed. Miller
would like very much to see them for
a minute.
During the spring a vast army Of
solicitors combed the county taking
orders from the farmers to enlarge
pictures. They passed on, and a new
crew delivering the work is now on
the ground. Original orders for en-
largements were taken at about So
each. Now, as much as fifteen dol
lars is being demanded, the difference
representing the frame. !"
Farmers should report to the au-

ITO RECALL PETITION CIRCU.
LATORS

Those who have been doing the cir
culating Of recall petitions in the va
rious precincts Of this county are
having exceptional success in getting
signers. Nearly half the precincts
in the county have returned their Pc
titions with more than their quota of
signers. Only one single precinct
has fallen down materially, and not
all were solicited there. It is not
necessary to work any longer on the
initiated petitions Send them in
with whatever names you have. But
the recall petitions on governor, at
1tcrney general and commissioner of
agriculture should be thoroughly cir
,crulated and returned by the 25th of
July. While there is plenty Of time,
signing should not be allowed to drag
too long. Some sixty thousand recall
signers have already been secured
throughout the state, according to
word from Independent headquarters.
