CANAL BILL PASSES
Senate Approves Borah Repeal
Act, Vote Al to 81.
Hardlns's objection Fails to Halt
Plan for Free Passage Of Y. 9.
coastwIse Ships.

Washington-The Senate passed the
Borah repeal bill by vote Of Al to 81,
despite a last minute plea by Senator
Lodge, administration spokesman, that
there are compelling reasons affect.
ing the conference on limitation of
ornaments why the Panama canal
tolls act relating to American coast.
wise shipping should not be repealed.
Senators McCumber of North Da.
kota, Nelson Of Minnesota and Ster.
ling of South Dakota were among the
seventeen Republicans who voted
against the repeal. Senators Kellogg
of Minnesota, Ladd of North Dakota
and Norbeck of South Dakota were re-
corded for 1t. Twelve Democrats
voted with the Republican majority.
Senator Lodges attempt to use the
forthcoming international conference
as means Of defeating the Borah bill
was not surprising. While nothing
definite has come to the Capitol from
the White House on the subject, 1t has
been understood for some time that
President Harding preferred to have
the tolls question rest until after the
November conference. &
Borah contradlcts Lodge.
Senator Borah, In answering Sena.
tor Lodge, said he had been in con
sultation with the interested persons
and was prepared to say that there
were no compelling reasons against
his measure.
The administration, 1t is expected
will use its influence to head off the
repeal bill in the House. The leaders
there are ready to do whatever Mr.
Harding wishes DONE Senator Lodges
declaration is considered the same
thing as notice that the administra.
tion will not permit the repeal at this
time.
Debate on the Borah measure CON
tinued throughout the day and was
heated at times. Senator Kellogg Of
Minnesota was the only Northwest
member to get into the fray. and he
had only five minutes given to him by
Senator Borah.
While not expressing an opinion on
the economic soundness of free tolls
ito American coastwise traffic, Senator
Kellogg insisted that Great Britain has
no right to tell us what we shall dc
with the canal. The 1914 vote, when
President Wilson's bill was passed
was considered by Great Britain as an
acknowledgement by the United
States that the British contention was
right.

Every Reduction In Workers PAY

Freight Rates.

Proposition Laid Before Association

Ing In chleaoo-0ovsrnmsnt
Officials Encouraged Action.

Chicago-A proposal TO meet all fu.
ture reductions in the wages tof rail.
road employees with corresponding de.
creases In railroad freight ratsS was
presented to the Association Of Raj.
way Executives at its meeting here.
The proposition ID to be submitted
by special committee Of railroad o.
flcials which last week conferred With
government officials at Warrington It
was stated. 5Sss
This announcement was made BY q
railroad official here for the confer
ence. who stated that the committee
had prepared report em5odying the
plan.
Public to Benefit.
The proposition to pass all future
decreases in operating costs along to
the public. It was stated, was II line
with the policy Of the railroads to
make freight rate reductions and at
the same time allow the railroads to
operate at profit. Freight rate re-
auctions are impossible 80 long a. op-
Grating costs remain unchanged, this
official asserted.
The railroads emerged from the war
facing huge deficit, he asserted. The
8 per cent profit provided for BY the
transportation act failed to bring any
material relief because Of decrease in
business, and had the Railroad Labor
board not authorized reduction OF
wages. effective July I, many railroads
would have been bankrupt before the
end Of the year, 1t was, declared.
Need Of Cuts Seen.
Railroad executives, according to
the official, have realized the desirable.
ity Of reduction in freight rates be-
cause Of the decrease in prices of
other commodities.
They have, however, been unable to
effect such reductions, he said, be-
cause of. the fixed operating costs.
This, he asserted, applied to the arbi-
trary fixing of wages and to the limi-
tation placed on the number Of hours
employees could work and the amount
of work that could be done.
To effect reduction of freight rates
and at the same time maintain present
revenues for the railroads. the plan
announced was formulated. Increased
business. brought about by lower
freight rates, is expected to provide
the increased revenue necessary for
the railroads to operate at a fair profit,
it was stated.

REDUCTIONS
Gap of Industrial Difficulties In
Transportation Field
Is Widened.
LEADERS keep SILENCE
Want All Wages Back to prs.war
Level--Laek Of Harmony Evident
In Executive Conference on
49,. Question.

Chicago.-The gap Of industrial diff
and their employees was widened when
the roads announced that they would
seek new reduction in employees
wages and then fatty rejected re-
quest from the unions that the matter
be postponed temporarily. AT the
same time the. roads announced that
while future wage reductions would
result in lower freight and passenger
rates, to change the present rates
without further wage cuts would
throw them into bankruptcy.
The position Of the roads that freight
rates could not be cut unless wages
were further reduced was made known
following meeting of the association
of railway executives called to con-
slider possible rate reductions.
Unions Ask Delay.
At this meeting, a request from the
unions that committees of five from
each side confer was accepted. AT the
conference union leaders asked recon-
sideration of their request of last July
that a 1914 per cent wage reduction
granted by the labor board be not put
into effect Immediately, that no further
wage reductions be sought at present,
and that no change be made in the
overtime pay rate. This request was
refused by regional conferences of the
roads ut that time. a
In reply to the last proposal that
the requests be reconsidered, the rail
heads simply presented their statement
announcing the proposal to seek new
reductions and not to reduce rates
until further reductions were granted.
Silent on Proceedings.
The labor leaders left the conference
Immediately and few of them would
discuss It's proceedings or predict the
results.
II am no prophet said Warren s.
Stone, president of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers. "What will
happen is more than l can say"
w. G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railway Trainmen, refused to
discuss the situation after the meeting,
but previously he had said that "the
roads must be crazy to seek a new re-
duction when the men have just au-
thorized strike over an old wage cut"
Il. S. Binker of the association of
railway executives, said that the trans
portation system was facing one of its
greatest crises but also refused to
make predictions.
Lack Of Harmony Notable.
Union leaders freely admitted, how
ever, that there had been little har-
mony between the committees in the
conference. The labor committee was
composed of Mr.. Lee, Warren S. Stone,
president of the Brotherhood Of Loco
motive Engineers; L. E. Sheppard,
president of the Order Of Railway Con-
ductors; w. S. Carter, president of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
and Engnemen, and P. o. Cashen,
president of the Switchmen's Union of
North America. 5
The executives, 1t was announced,
wish the wages of train service train
men returned to the same wage pre-
vious to the increase in the labor board
decision of July, 1920. This will ne
cessitate 10 per cent reduction, 1t
was said.
