 New York, July 1S-The fifty thou sand maintenance of way men and others under the Jurisdiction of Will liam Parker, chairman of the New York Central system federation will decide their attitude regarding their wage cuts this week, according to MT. Parker.
 Parker has written New York Cen tral officials urging them to meet strike leaders in conference immedt- ately. he said, adding that the only way to avoid a strike is for the man. agement to grant the old wages, the eight hour day and time and one half for overtime.
 New York Central officials made no comment on MT. Parker's statement but repeated former assertions that they were prepared for any emer- gency.

Out of 36 persons who gave answers in a direct manner. 28 favored the live and one-half hour oay. while eight were opposed; of the, entire 41 who gave direct answers. A favored the 200 school day while 13 were op- posed.
 Tn concluding his arguments MT. Wilson said that the present system was like straight jacket. The new system, he said, would make life vasIer for the teacher and give the child more life to dive. we do not want to overwork the child or teacher. We want to do what is pro- yressive. Overwh elming, expert op1n-
 on is in favor of the change he de- 2iared.
 Dr. McGovern said that the change would give the child, who was forced to leave school at the age of 14 be- cause of circumstances, a more in- tensive training and would give them two or more years of education that they otherwise would not get.
 Commissioner Challenger and Mrs. Cutting voted in favor of the stag gereC" system when they were as- sured that none of the present teach CTS would lose their positions by req son of the adoption of the new sys- tenn. The new plan does away with the hiring of new teachers at the be- ginning of each year to take care of incoming pupils. It is the normal school day that is in vogue in nearly all the High schoIs of the country. President Burns said that the change was remedying a condition that grew out of the war.
