WASHINGTON, May 23.-Adminis- tration intervention into railroad rate problems as instanced most recently in President Harding's dinner confer ence with carrier executives, has dis closed the close relationship between these and the problems of railroad. pay scales and railroad financing, it was indicated today at the White House.
 Railroad management, it was said, while voicing approval of the general proposal that rates be brought down in the interests ot general business betterment and expansion of enter prise have taken the opportunity to tell of their own troubles with wage scales which they consider too high, with the financing of new equipment and repair of old, and the maintenance and betterment of their lines. The re- suit is said to leave President Harding hopeful. however, that tangible i'm mediate reductions can be obtained.
 Railroad executives were told by the president and Secretary Hoover at ,the Saturday night conference, if they would leave class rates practically unchanged at existing levels, they could go into session with the inter state commerce commission and at once cut sharply existing charges on coal, iron, ores, brick, paving material and other heavy tonnage low unit priced commodities.
 This, in the administration view, would remove burdens which have act ed to retard the wheels of commerce and at the same time leave high rates on traffic which can bear the burden

The prisoners comprised, for the most part, officers and men of the Irish republican army, as well as members of the Sim Fein and other organizations opposed to the constitu- ted authorities here.
