SETTLEMENT IS UP
 ID ROADS OR J. g., : STONE DECLARES
Rail Strike Called Because Roads Requested Further Wage Reduction, Says
 Engineers President
By Associated Press

Cleveland October rT.-The pro- gressive railroad strike. scheduled to begin october 30. can be settled by the railroads or prevented by the government. Warren s. Stone. pres ident of the Brothernood of Locomo- tive Engineers, said tonight when asked his opinion of the situation
 MT Stone said the cause of the strike is largely because of the ac- tion of the railroad managers in re- questing a further 10 per cent wage reduction a1d the elimination of fa- vorable working agreements on up- ward of 75 roads, in addition to the i2 per cent wage reduction which went into effect July 1. The rail roads can settle the strike by the elimination of these conditions, MT. Stone said.
 The government can prevent the strike by taking over the railroads and this Is what will happen even tual1y," Mr. Stone said. He also is- sued formal statement covering the mems position and their reasons for striking.
 MT. Stone tonight made public the four groups of roads on which the strike is scheduled to begin. on the first group at a. m. Sunday, October 30, the three other groups to go out at 4s-hour periods.
 The Pennsylvania. one of the lar gest systems of the country, Is one of the last to be hit by tue proposed strike. No explanation was given why 1t was held to the last.
 Not All Effected
 It also was explained that all the organizations in some of the roads in group are not officially author ized to strike, some of the organiza- tions not casting the necessary 66 2s vote in favor of the walkout The Dig five leader expects. how ever, that all organizations on such roads will follow the general walkout on the other roads, being influenced to join the strike by seeing the brothers everywhere laying off their overalls.
 MT. Stone said he believed that the railroads want a strike" and that less desirable to the railroad execu- and regulations 'won by employers in various ways as the results of years of organization effort"
 The railroad executives can tnttle the dispute, or the United States gov ernment can prevent strike" Mfr Stone declared Taking over the which the government can avert the strike scheduled for october s0.'
 If 1t had been a question of wage reductions only there would have

 CleYcianu, Ohio, october 17.--ln a signed statement, Warren $. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Engineers, this evening set forth the reasons for the Big Five" transportation organizations author izing strike of their membership which is set 10 begin October 30. In the statement, he reviews the va rious attempts made to obtain an amicable settlement. Mir. Stones statement follows:
 The mems position and their req sons for striking are in part as fol- lows:
 When the transportation act of 1920 became a law it was hoped by the employees that all disputes would be adjusted, and decisions rendered by the board would be complied with by the carriers and employees. tn- stead of complying with the decis- ions of the labor board, the rail- roads soon began to disregard or flout its decisions, fragrant cases os this being the action of the Allan ia, Birmingham and Atlantic, the, Erie the Pennsylvania. and many other cases that could be cited.
 It Is well known and admitted by all. that the railway men were the the war period. During August, 1919 the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers submitted to President Will son statement setting forth that decrease in the cost of the necessi-

ties of life was necessary or an in7 crease in wages was imperative.
 From that time on the question of wages was discussed on different occasions and was finally submitted to the labor board. In July 1920, the board shanded down a decision which based on all the facts they declared was Just and equitable and further stated that their conclusions were reached after long considera- ton of all the facts as evidenced by the testimony before that board.
 Demanded Reductions
 Later Mir Atterbury of the Penn sylvania appeared before the board and in a spectacular presentation de- manded an immediate reduction of the wages of all railroad employees notwithstanding the carriers had been granted material increase in freight and passenger rates In older to meet the increased wages granted by the board. This was denied on technical grounds because the car riers had not properly created dis patch in accordance with the trans- portation act.
 The railroads then began to serve notice on all their employees demand : ing reductions in pay, thereby legally creating a dispute which was referred to the labor board, resulting in a 12 per cent reduction as of July 1, 1921.
