NEW RAIL WAGE CUT
TO AFFECT 100000
Strike Vote Ordered by Shop
Crafts i'm Event They Were
Reduced.
MAINTENANCE MEN VOTE
Labor Board Expected to Lop
Off S6OO,OOO,OOO Granted
to All Unions.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, May 29.-Definte state
ments were made to-day that when the
United States Railroad Labor Board
tands down a decision affecting the
450, 900 employees of the shop crafts
union late this week another wage cut
will be registered. A strike vote was
ordered by the shop craft unions here
recently in the event of a wage cut.
Wages OF the big Four brother
hoods and switchmen already have been
cut IL per cent. The Railroad Labor
Board in it's next decision will readjust
the wage scale of 100000 railway shop
men and 100000 clerks, telegraph oper-
ators, station employees and other
classes. The total decrease. 1t is re-
ported, will lop off the $500. 100000 an
rual wage increase granted to rail- work
ers in May. 1920.
The order of the board cutting the
wages OF 100000 maintenance of way
employees yesterday will be answered
by a strike vote taken by the workers.
Officials of the United Brotherhood
of Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers went ilto. Sc
cret conference tonight in Detroit to
devise and outline a plan of action pro-
testing the cut.
Word was received at the office of
3. NJ. Jewell. president of the Railway
Department of the American Federation
of Labor, from Detroit that a referen-
dunn of the wage cut would be ordered
by the officials in conference there. An
attempt will be made by the officials of
the union to have the case reopeped be-
fore the rail board. Strike talk was
heard around union headquarters, but
prospects of an immediate waliSout seem
remote. according to local representa-
tives of the union now in Chicago.

three years compel the raising of
nearly $40O,00O,O 900 more. The Nc
Cumber proposal would cost the coun-
try $4,000 100000. which, with the ad-
ministrative and interest charges,
would amount to around 5000, ,OOO, 900.
The larger the tax on the voter, the
greater will be the pleasure of the
Democratic Senator's. They entirely
overlook the fact that they will be held
indirectly responsible for their own
votes, with which the. raid can only be
iegislatively legalized. Nothing could
illustrate better the decentralization of
the Democratic party in Congress at
least than the remuneration of the pol
icies OF the Wilson Administration in
dealing with the subjects of bonuses
and pensions growing out of the late
war
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. McAdoo urged
the adoption of the war risk plan and
the creation of bureau 10 provide for
the manned, sick and disabled soldiers
as a substitute for pensions and
bonuses in any form. The Govern
ment has already expended $1,S00, ,000,-
900 In caring for disabled veterans.
Democratic Senators who have per-
sistently repudiated their leaders
throughout the present Congress are
inspired by a twofold purpose in CIV
ing aid and comfort to the Republican
bonus Senators who want the Govern
ment TO pay their personal obligations
Of political character.
The first is to force tho Republican
party to repudiate it's pledges TO prac-
tice retrenchment and economy in the
administration of the Government.
The second theory on which the DEM
ocratic bonus Senators arc proceeding
is that the votes Of service men may
give them contro. of the next House
of Representatives and, in a remote
contingency. of the Senate.
The fallacy of such expectations has
already been pretty well exploded by
the voters of Pennsylvania and other
States which have rejected can
didates for the Senate and the House
committed to the bonus and elected
those of pronounced opposing views.
Absolutely no mention was made at
the conference of Republican and
Democratic Finance Committeeman to-
day of a method for financing the
bonus raid. Republican and Demo-
cratic Senator'S both in and out of the
committee did not appear to regard
that phase of the raid nearly as inn
portant as getting themselves on
record In favor of II. President Har-
ding has clearly indicated his disap-
proval of any bonus legislation which
does not provide sources of revenue to
pay the stupendous bill involved.
Apparently the bonus Senator'S on
both sides believe that this incon-
sequential detail can be developed
later. The use of the foreign debt
(Which is not available under the law)
and the restoration of wartime taxes
seem to reflect the maximum of in
genuity on the part of Democratic
Senators who favor the bonus.
Most of them frankly declare they
do not care whether President Harding
follows his indicated course and vetoes
the bonus bill. They would rather have
him sign it. because that would give
them a partisan advantage in the COM
ing Congressional contests-at least
they think so.

FINDS RAIL WORKERS
ARE EAGER TO STRIKE

BOSTON. May 29.-Heads of mainte-
nance of way and railway shopmen's
unions are meeting with much difficulty
il, keeping their men at work since the
Railway Labor Board announced it's
wage finding in Chicago Sunday. Charles
II. Downey, Eastern travelling represen-
tative of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers, announced here
to-day.
Mr.. Downey, whose jurisdiction in
cludes all railroads in New England. the
New York Central lines as far West as
Buffalo and the Delaware and Hudson,
said local chalrmen on all these lines
had informed him the men were eager
to strike.
Every effort was being made, railroad
men said, to keep maintenance of way
men at work until the Labor Board
hands down its decisions on the shop
crafts and other workers.
Yesterdays decision was to force a
fight" Mr.. Downey said.

M'CUMBER WINS FIVE
DEMOCRATS FOR BONUS

bonus bill after the Democrats have
helped Mr.. McCumber and his bonus
associates report it to the Senate is a
motter of speculation. Some of the more
ardent bonus supporters who desire TO
negotiate a satisfactory mortgage on
the really important soldier vote are
in favor of switching the troublesome
tariff bill on side track and jamming
the bonus bill through the Senate un-
der the process of cloture.
The Democratic Senators favoring
the bonus may attempt to invoke this
rule but the Republican leaders are
rather skeptical about it. They have
been warned by Republican and Dem
ocratic Senator's opposed to the bonus
that any move in this direction will
precipitate a protracted filibuster and
result in the wrecking of the entire
Administration program, including the
tariff, the army and navy appropria-
tions, the ship subsidy and other pro-
jects which the President desires to
have enacted without unnecessary de-
lay. 1t is probable, therefore, that
any move to invoke cloture, which
would necessitate majority of two
thirds of the Senate, would be beaten
if put to test
The program favored by Mr.. Nc
Cumber and his bonus associates is to
sound Senatorial sentiment regarding
the cloture proposition The certain
rejection of it will then compel them
to hurry the tariff and other Admin
stration measures out of the way and
''let nature take it's course" In the
matter of the bonus If this plan shall
finally be agreed on, the bonus bill,
for which the Democratic Senators
will share equal responsibility, will be
placed on the calendar and may not
be reached for a month or two.
Center of Democratic Attention.
Democratic attention is centered on
the tariff. Senators of that party are
proceeding in leisurely way to OBJ
struct this economic bludgeon"-as it
has been described by Republican
Senators-as long as possible. Present
indications are that the tariff will be
before the Senate two months hence.
What will then happen to the bonus
is a matter of guessing
Despite the confidence Of the bonus
Senators that Mr.. Watson of Indiana
can persuade the President to 3tultify
himself by accepting the McCumber
bonus bill, dominant Senatorial senti-
ment is just the other way. Mr.. Wat.
son, who was opposed to the bonus
couple of months ago, told the Indiana
Republican convention the other day
that bonus bill would be passed and
approved by the President.
Senators on. both sides of the con.
troversy expected him to return to-day
to reveal the basis for his positive as
sertion, which incidentally did not
arouse any great amount of enthusi-
asm, according to men who attended
the convention.
While Mr.. Watson was absent from
the meeting of the Finance Committee
at which the Democratic Senators de-
livered themselves to Mr.. McCumber
his approval of it was indicated by
the finance chairman. When the meet
ing convened Chairman McCumber,
whose political needs in North Dakota
are very great cordially welcomed the
Democratic Senators although he had
previously denied them participation
i'm the preparation of the bonus bill.

GOMPERS CALLS BOARD
WAGE RULING UNJUST
Says Men in Jail Get Better
Food Than Workers.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-"The decision
OF the Railroad Labor Board in the case
of the maintenance of way employees is
a most unjust and inequitable proceed
ing" said Samuel Gompers to-day. THE
minority decision. which says the new
wage will not allow the father OF a
family to purchase as much food as Is
allowed an inmate of the Cook county
jail, leaves little TO be said in charac-
terization of the action of the majority.
mo one will contend that it costs less
to live now than in 1920. The fact is
there has been almost no appreciable
change in the cost of living so far as the
average family is concerned. Prices OF
day to day requirements are about as
high as ever. Some prices are higher
than ever. Rent, the largest single item
for every family. remains as high as
ever. and in most cases higher.
Tho decision penalties the workers
and helps the railroads. 1t is another
illustration of the unfitness of the Rail-
road Labor Board"

RAILROADS ACCEPT
FREIGHT RATE CUTS
Those North Of Ohio and East
of Mississippi Not to
Await Order.
FAIR RETURN DISPUTED
Lines to Protest Fixing Of
5 "a Per Cent. Upon Prop
erty Investment.

The steam railroads ncrth of the Ohio
River and east of the Mississippi de-
cided yesterday to put into effect the
10 per cent. freight rate cuts proposed
by the Interstate Commerce Commission
without waiting for the issuance of a
formal order. At the same time 1t was
decided to enter formal protest against
the commissions fixing 5A per cent. as
the fair return upon railroad property
investment
The decisions we're taken at special
meeting of the Eastern Presidents Con-
ference held at the Metropolitan Club
Fifth avenue and Sixtieth street. which
was attended by sixty railroad officers
representing thirty-seven carriers. Ir
accordance with the Interstate Com
merce Commissions order the railroads
will notify that Uody of their acceptance
of the rate cut on or before May 81.
Similar meetings were held In Wash
ington and Chicago by railroad execu-
tives Of the South and West.
1t is estimated that # the 10 per cent
cut in freight rates called for by the
commission is applied over the entire
country the loss in railroad revenues
would be between $25, 900, 900 and $3.50.
100000. which it is expected VIII be off
set by wage reductions pending before
fuel costs which will come out OF the
coal strike settlement.
At the close of the meeting here, L.
F. Loree, president of the Delaware and
Hudson Company and chairman of the
Eastern Presidents Conference, issued
this statement
"At special meeting of the Eastern
railroad presidents today consideration
was given to the report and findings OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission in
the reduced rate case Docket No. 49,
e93) decided May 16. 1922, and, since
the commission finds taht rates in excess
of those determined by it shall be un-
reasonable after July /, 1922, 1t was
felt that the roads had no alternative
except to put the rates in effect without
formal order.
while deciding to do this the roads
also determined to enter of record a
formal protest of the finding of the
commission that on and after March /.
1922, the fair return, as contemplated
by the arsnfortation act will be 5T
per cent. believing that this return is
lower than is required by law and will
not enable the railroads to finance
themselves to the extent that they
should be able to do in order to render
adequate service to the public.
IT Is Oh prime importance, TO meet
the transportation requirements of this
country IL it is to be prosperous. that
the railroads as whole shall be in a
sufficiently strong position to furnish
service as it is required. and this can
not be done unless they have such income
and credit as will enable them TO obtain
funds sufficient to provide equipment
and facilities.
IF the future demonstrates the need
for additional revenues the railroads

Montgomery. Ala. Dec. 29.-'Does some bird of evil omen shadow thcSe who are associated with the Brewer family?''
 This question has been asked many times, especially since the death of Charles Warner, a well-known planter of Montgomery County.
 Warner died of injuries received In a hay-press on his plantation.
 Warmer, several years ago. was al legged to have shot and killed Willis Brewer, Jr-. son of the late we'll known Congressman Willis Brewer. Warner was never brought to trial for the shooting as evidence pointed to self-defense.
 Warner was fatally injured near the point where Brewer was killed.
 The late Portis Mckeithan, hus- hand of Mildred Russell McKeithan. eranddaughter of the late Congress- :nan Brewer, was killed near here seven months ago, and one of the family Miss Mildred Brewer, was tried for the killing and acquitted. The killing was proved to have been accidental

FORD PLAN SEEN IN DETR0IT'S
 R. R. LINES
Rich Auto Manufactur- CTS Hand Believed
 Steering g P Hey Through w. B. Mayo.
By w. +. STOKLEY, International News Service Staff
 COrrcSpOndent.

Detroit, Dec 29.-The unseen hand of Henry Ford steering the course of DetrOit's municipal railway lines through William B. Mayo. his chief engineer, is believed to be at work here. Mayo has taken charge of the street railway system and announces the inauguration of two Out-and-out Ford poIicies-constructi of street cars by the city and a bonus system TOT employees of the city lines.
 Ford has always schemed to manu- fracture everything that goes into the "fliVver'', and Ford employees have benefited from the bonus system for years. That Mayo's injection of two well-known Ford principles into the street car system was 'inspired' is the belief Of some observers.
 Ford has kept in close touch with street car affairs. Mayo, as a mem Der of the Street Railway Commis- sion, was consulted by Mayor Couz- ems frequently. The automobile mag much of his time to the street hallway lines as may be required. Trailers will be built by the city at first, and Mayo estimates they can be built for about $6,00O, a saving of $1,O00 above private prices.
 The bonus system is planned to encourage street car platform men to avoid accidents. The division will be made on a basis of merit, and re- cords made by employees will be com pared closely.
 Detroit factories will dismiss enn- ployes piecemeal instead of en masse to aid in relieving street car conges- ton.
 Will Mayo dare apply Ford's lat est suggestion to the street car lines cut the fares one-half? Mayo refused to comment when asked about it.
 When Ford announced few months ago the price of the ''flivver'' would be cut below the cost of pro- ductiOn, many business men predicted nothing Dut disaster for his cOl1onaY7U as a result. Right now Ford is mak- ing more money than ever before through increased sales.
 Now he suggests the same method be employed in the street car busi- ness.
 ''Cut the fares one-haIf and force the people to ride street cars'' is FOrd'S plan for making the M. o. successful. With the fares so cheap thousands who now drive automo- piles would ride street cars"
