WASHINGTON. May 25.-Demands
of railway executives that wages of
their employees must be reduced in
proportion TO the rate cuts decreed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission brought loud protests today
from railroad labor leaders here.
Formal requests OF the carriers
for wage reductions ranging from
10 to rs per cent are now being con-
sidered by tho Railroad Labor Board
at Chicago, but labor chiefs contend
the railroads must affect economies
in other directions altar July l in
stead OF depending upon a wage
slash to bring down their expense.
Tt is not possible for the labor
board to order further reductions
in railroad wages William H.

tional Association OF Machinists. de-
csared today. Even now the aver
age railway worker does not make
a decent living wage and IL addf-
tional cuts are made. anything is
liable to happen. The men are IN
an ugly frame of mind.
I'm view OF the labor boards rec
ognition of the principle OF the re-
cent living wage. we do not expect
wage cuts 10 be ordered just be-
cause the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has reduced the income OF
the railroads by lowering freight
