PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD MEMS
WAGES Are CUT
42,5OO Employees Accept
Cut Without a Dis
senting Voice
NEW PAY NOT KNOWN
Great Railway System is Not In
cluded in Recent Action of Railroad
Labor Board.

Philadelphia, June 2S.-Annomce-
ment was made yesterday by the Penn
sylvania Railroad that agreements on
reduction of wages have been reached
between the management and the
elected representatives of $4,000 Of
its employees.
The settlements affect the mainten-
ance of way department, embracing
80 400 men, and the employees Of the
telegraph and signal department,
numbering 3,100 men.
The revised scales become effective
July lst.
"They involve reductions which
have been mutually agreed upon to
conform with the lower cost of living,
the general conditions of employment
throughout the country and the de-
mand of the public for cheaper trans
portatiOn, as expressed in the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions order
reducing freight rates" the an
nouncement stated.
No figures were given out by the
company. Because of its negotiations
with committees of its employees, the
Pennsylvania was not a party to the
reductions asked by other railroads
and granted by the United States Rail
road Labor Board.
The Pennsylvania statement furth-
er said:
"The negotiations were entirely vol
untary and were conducted solely be-
tween management representatives on
the one side and elected representa-
tives of the employees, on the other,
free from outside intervention.
"This successful outcome of the
wage negotiations with the mainten-
ance of wav and telegraph and signal
employees, constitutes one of the most
notable achievements thus far record

STRIKE MEETING
WITH COAL MEN
NOW PLANNED
President Hints at Drastic
Action If Conference
Fails
ARBITRATION OFFER
Hard Coal Miners Get Message F-Om
Lewis and Drop Strike Plans
White House Conference Next.

Washington, June 2S.-His plan for
voluntary conference between the
coal operators and mine workers hav-
ing failed, the Presidents next move
toward a settlement of the coal strike
probably will be a White House con-
ference called by him, at which arbl-
tration will be proposed.
The formal announcement of the
Presidents program is withheld for
the present. John i. Lewis, head OF
the mine workers, has assured him
that the men will gladly participate
in a conference under Government
auspices, but the attitude Of the oper-
ators is not yet clearly defined. The
assumption is, of course, that they
dare not refuse to meet with the Presl-
dent himself.
Word was received from Wilkes
Barre. Pa, last night, that upon re-
ceipt of telegram from Mr.. Lewis,
the general scale committee Of the
anthracite workers abandoned all
plans for Immediately calling an alb
solute strike, and the contemplated
withdrawal of pumpmen from the
mines.
The White House intimate very sig
niicantly that if all persuasive efforts
to bring about settlement fail, and
if an emergency is created involving
the public safety "a more pointed
and drastic course would have to be
pursued" What may be in the Presl-
dents mind in the direction of dras-
tic action remains to be revealed.
Unless those Spokesmen of the MIN
ers row in Washington are blutfing
or are mistaken, it seemed morally
certain that the scheme OF
arbitration to which end all the pro-
iected preliminary conferences be-
tween the two forces, will get nowhere
and that it finally will be put up TO
the Government to intervene IN some
decisive fashion, if fuel famine IS
to be avoided.
1t is asserted here, for example,
that while the mine workers are per-
fectlv willing to meet the operators
at the White House or anywhere else
that the Government may designate,
and while they are willing to listen
to a proposal that arbitration be re-
stored to. they will not assent to TINS
plan of settlement except upon these
conditions:
First-That there be no wage re-
ductions in either the bitumnous or
anthracite fields.
Second THAT the eight-hour day be
guaranteed
Third-That the unionizing of the
entire industry be recognized:
If these conditions are laid down
AS concessions which the operators
must make before the arbitration pro-
cccdings even begin, it is extremely
doubtful if the Government can induce
the producers to go in. These conces-
sions would amount to virtual sur
render on their part, it is pointed out,
leaving little Of Importance to arbl-
trate.

ANOTHER CRISIS
Wit H MEXICO
IS IMPENDING
Vigorous Protest Follows
Capt. of U. S. Citizens
By Mexicans
FORCE SUGGESTED
Navy Is Conveniently Situatei-Oil
Property Near Tampico Valued at
S250,000 Seized.

Washington, June 2S.-The holding
of 10 American citizens for ransom
by a Mexican General near Tampico,
coming on the heels of the kidnap-
ping of A. Bruce Bielaski, former
chief of the bureau of investigation
of the Department of Justice, has
produced another crisis in American
relations with Mexico.
The two incidents have served to
call in question President Obregon's
power to protect Americans in Mex
leo and to bring the Harding Admin
istration face to face with the prob
lem of enforcing respect for Amerl-
cans and their property rights.
Although the customary represen-
tations have been made to the MeXi-
can Government by the State Depart
ment, the use of armed forces by the
United States to rescue the imperiled
Americans and provide for their fu-
ture protection has been broached in
the councils of the Administration.
Warships and troops from the Mexi-
can border could reach Tampico with
in three days from the issuance of
orders, but it was stated at the Navy
Department last night that no steps
had been taken in that direction. The
cruiser Galveston is now at Guantana-
mo Bay, Cuba, and the cruisers Bir-
mingham, Tacoma and Cleveland are
at the Panama Canal. Admiral Will
liam Cole commands the latter squad
ron and Capt. David Hanrahan COM
mands the Galveston.
The 40 American citizens and
American property valued at $780,
600 are being held for ransom by
General Gorozabe. The seizure occur
red Sunday morning and 4S hours
from that time was allowed for the
payment of $4,000 pesos ransom.
The property belongs to the Cortez
Oil Company, an American concern
carrying on extensive operations in
the Tampico field The property
seized was located at the Aguade
station of the company, and the 40
Americans reported captured are be-
lieved to have been employees of the
company or at least connected with
the oil industry in that region.
The first official report to the State
Department came from Consul Shaw
at TampicO. He stated in his dispatch
that General Gorozabe with 24O we'll
armed men had captured the property
and was holding the 40 Americans and
destructible property worth approx
mately $250,000.

Pickett's Charge to be In

Lesson
Five Thousand Marines Are Encamp-

I'd Orders to Storm Heights.

Gettysburg Battle Field, June rs
Here. where the Coufederacy gasped
its last and the Union took a fresh
start, the United States marines, D.
0O0 strong, have dug themselves in
and are holding on by their teeth un-
til the ghost of Pickett cries charge"
and the ghosts of the men of Meade
rise up and meet them with the
wraiths of blasting volleys.
"Ho!ding 'on by their teeth is a
quaint figure, taking its principal sig'
nificance from the fact that the ma.
rines began their first full day in camp
here eating 40 they haven't eaten for
week.
Yesterday tourists on the peaks of
Round top and Little Round Top looked
across the valleys to the plateau
where Pickett led the flower of South
ern manhood in brave, disastrous as
sault, more than half a century ago,
and saw 65 acres Of brown tents. There
the "leathernecks" lie at the edge of
Seminary Ridge. where the freshest.
best trained division in the Confeder-
ate Army lay that hot July day, wait
ing lDT I'M COIllildill ~ al bHs' lilNi \
and get the damned Yankees"
Beginning today the United States
marines Of the famous Fifth and
Sixth Regiments will cross the same
field, moving as those fighting grand
fathers moved 80 years ago; rehears-
ING for the historical pageant next
Monday. But they already had be
gun to cross it yesterday, cutting
paths with truck trains and motor
cvcles acrrss the wide plain where
minnie balls and chain shot swept and
men in gray lay down to die. They
were building the camp.
Il is something more than military
camp the marines are putting into the
havficlds Pickett charged through. It
is citv planned to house and feed
nearly 5000 men and some women.
Mrs. Harding is expected with the
President Saturday, and there are
likely to he others.
General Pershing probably will be
here with the President. The first of
the delegation from foreign embassies
in Washington is expected to arrive
today. and before they stop coming

be represented on this field and under

ULTIMATUM BY
SHOP MEN ON
RAILWAY HEADS
Wage Cut Must Be Held Up
Or 100000 Men Will
Go Out
MUST RESTORE RULES
Also Railroads Must Discontinue Prac--
tice of Farming Out Work-koao
Heads Are NOncOmmittal.

Chicago, June 28.-A strike OF the
100000 railway shopmen of the coun-
try will be called for July lSt unless
the railroads agree to stay the $780,
100000 wage cut due the shop work
ers on that date and to restore certain
working conditions formerly in effect,
it was made known last night through
a telegram from B. NJ. Jewell, head OF
the shop crafts, to the Association OF
Reilway Executives.
Decision to call strike came late
Yesterday after 4 lengthy discussion
by the executive committee of the SIX
shop crafts unions. based on the strike
vote of the men thus far tabulated.
Should the rail heads arrange an
Immediate conference, agreeing mean
while to continue present wages, re-
store working rules modified by the
Railroad Labor Board and discontinue
farming out railroad work, however, a
walkout can be halted, the telegram
said. Otherwise "a sanction of with
drawal from employment on Just /,
1929, as voted by the employees, will
be unavoidable"
Washington, June 2S.--No one in
Washington seems to know what is to
be done if and when the railroad la
Dor unions affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor strike. The
wage reduction over which the strike
vote has been taken will go into eff
feet Saturday and the walkout is ex-
peeted at any time between that date
and July 18th.
For all that is being SAID or done
openly bv any responsible official, it
might be thought that there was no
real danger Of a strike, or that it was
six months away The Administration
shows no signs of particular activity
or even of anxiety.
The first indication of action by
Congress came yesterday when joint
resolution which would authorize the
Railroad Labor Board 20 rescind its
decision reducing the wages of rail-
road employees effective July lst was
introduced in the House by Represen-
tative Burke. Republican, Pennsylva-
mia, a member of the Order Of Rail
road Conductors of the Baltimore and
Ohio system.
