Railroads Begin
 Drive Follower Employees Wages

Chicago, March 7-Railroads yes- terday began a drive to bring down wages of their employees when hear ings on applications for wage reduc- tions by almost every rail transporta- tion system in the country were be- gun before the United States Railway Labor Board. Nearly all classes of employees are included in some portion of the hearings, except the Big Four Brotherhoods and Switchmen who are negotiating di- rectly with the roads.
 The railroads are endeavoring to take away the remainder Of the in- creases given two years ago. The last cut allowed by the Labor Board took away a large part of this increase.
 Representatives Of the employees were on hand as the hearings opened to make vigorous fight against the reduction of existing wages. B. M. Jewell, head of the Railway Elm ployees' Department of the American Federation of Labor, whose member ship chiefly is affected, and Attorney Frank R. Walsh will handle the cass for the employees.

Dr. Work Plans
 To Use System
 Of Will Hayes

Speculation as to possible changes in policies to be inaugurated by the new Postmaster General have been set at rest by a statement issued by Hu- bert Work addressed to the personnel of the postal service, in which he states that he will follow the same plans as ex-Postmaster General Will Hays. The statement is as follows:
 The Postmaster General has ten dered his resignation to the Presi- dent and will retire as head of the Post. Office Departm
 The impression his personality has made on the morale of the postal em- ployees has been unprecedented and it has, been altogether for good.
 |" Humanizing the service was merely the voicing of a wish and the kindliness which is in all of us to some degree, responded to it. It was the impulse of a kind heart. an called the common touch which makes the whole world akin and the letter is now put in the box, and not thrown at the door,
 He will travel far but he will not become a wanderer. He may live among the pictures but he will not become confused, for nature has en- dowed him with the intuition of a woman, the initiative of the inventor, the heart of wholesome boy. and the Judgment of a man-traits that have endeared him to all of us who served under him. It is true now
 
 there is no vision the people perish MT. Hays set up new ideals for pos tai service. They have been ap- proved by the American people, and as his successor in office it will be my purpose to give substance to his vision"
 No announcement has been made as to who will take Hubert Works place as First Assistant Postmaster Gener- al The position of Second Assistant General is also vacant as the result of the death of Edward H. from injuries received in the Knicke-bocker theater disaster in Washington.
