Rail Wage Cut
Most Unjust
Says Conpers
Intimates Carriers Knew Re.
duction Was Coming
When They Accepted the
Slash i'll Freight Rates
Sees Investors Victory
Declares Drop in Pay Just
Equals That on Roads
easonable Returns

FROM The T'fbme's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 30. - Calling
the reduction Of the wages of the
maintenace Of way employees Of the
railroads most unjust, President Sam
uel Gompers of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. in statement issued
to-day. intimates the roads accented
the recent freight rate reductions
cheertully because they knew heavy
wage reductions were coming.
Isn't it possible,' said Mr.. Com
pers, that curious public may be
inclined to question whether there is
not some connection between the grace
and good nature with which the rail
roads accepted the recent order for a
freight reduction and the present order
for this additional reduction in the
wages of large group of railroad
workers?
RAILROADS are not noted for easy
acceptance Of reductions in their in
come. When the Interstate Commerce
Commission last week ordered the re-
duction Of freight rates the railroads
were almost cheerful about the matter.
Last Thursday they called at the White
House and remarked upon leaving that
they had had q pleasant time. Now
comes the wage reduction, with the
lndlcation of more wage reductions to
follow.
Says Stockholders Win
"Perhaps the public may remember
that. in its recent freight rate reduc-
tlon decision, the Interstate Commerce
Commission cut the rate of reasonable
returns from 6 per cent to 5s4 per
cent. The wage reduction now ordered
Just about equals the missing quarter
OF ] per cent allowed in return on rail
road investments. The stockholders
and the workers have been weighed in
the balance and the stockholders win.
We Americans are such q patient and
gullible people that it makes us ask
whether we might not amend Lincoln's
phras, to read, You can fool all of the
people all of the time
The decision of the Railroad Labor
board in the case of the maintenance
OF way employees is most unjust and
negotiable proceeding.
The decision penalties the workers
and helps the railroads. 1t is another
Illustration of the unfairness of the
Railroad Labor Board
"Whatever pretense of fairness the
majority may seek to throw around it's
decision will be of no value to those
who are to suffer the reduction in
wages, nor will it convince workers
anywhere of the desirability of such
tribunals"

said "A complete shut down of freight

THE sentiment of the officers in gen

The decision whether to accept or

that we will base our action. Track

ten months The crime was aggravated
by the defendants high position and
the number and quality Of lis victims.
1t was also aggravated by the callous
effrontery with which it was COM
mitted.'
A remarkable scene occurred outside
the court after sentence had been pro-
nounced. The immense crowd sur
rounding the Old Bailey surged after
the van which was conveying Bot
tomley to prison, and strong police
measures we're required to ouell the
demons tration, which curiously had
nc vocal expression.
Bottomley's conviction was imme-
diately made known in message bv
the Judge to the Speaker of the House
OF Commons, who formally announced
it III the House.
Holds Seat Until Ousted
Whether Mr.. Bottomley's scat for
South Hackney will be vacated in con-
sequence of his conviction depends on
the decision of the house. Before =
seat is vacant an offender must be en-
PEELED by the house. The procedure
usually followed is to summon the con-
vlcted person to attend a session and
hear motion for his expulsion. He
can, if he wishes. speak in his own de-
Tense. The motion, which according to
custom is put by the leader of the
house, is voted upon and. if passed. the
convicted member is formally expelled.
If Mr.. Bottomley appeals it may be a
month before the APPEAL is heard. and
the house is not likely to take action
previous to this, The lost occasion Of
the expulsion of a convicted member
was in 1892, when his expulsion took
place ten days after convictions

Refusal Not Unexpected

WASHINGTON. May 29.-Announce-
ment by Prime Minister King that the
Dominion government does not con-
slider this an opportune time to nego-
tiate treaty on the st. Lawrence
waterway has not come as an entire
surprise here. When the fact first
became known that this government
had signified to the Dominion govern
ment that it was ready to negotiate
q treaty, it also became known that
Prime Minister King might find the
proposal embarrassing, as he needs
the support Of the Quebec contingent
gram and Quebec does not look with
favor on the waterway proposition.
But while not entirely unlocked for,
the announcement at Ottawa is a dis
appointment to the advocates Of the
waterway. 1t is also pleasing to its
opponents. Under any Circumstance 8
it means more or less indefinite post
ponement Of a decision on the matter,
and it is entirely probable that nothing
can be done to initiate the waterway
in the life of the present Congress.
Not Flat Rejection
As viewed by the advocates OF the
st. Lawrence project, the statement at
trlbuted to Prime Minister King does
not mean that the Canadian govern
ment fatty rejects the idea of treaty
Rather it is looked on as indicating
that the Canadian Premier wants the
negotiating of the proposed treaty held
off for a while until the situation is
more opportune from the Canadian po-
litical standpoint. Advocates of the
waterway take the view that later on
further efforts will be made to get
Canada to negotiate.
Representative Chalmers, Of the To-
ledo, Ohio, district, who has been high
ly active in the movement to bring
about the improvement of the st. Law
renee, expressed the belief that the
decision of the Canadian government
was not final, and that the Canadian
government in giving further consider
alton to the matter would enter into
negotiations for treaty. He said the

FARMERS WANT PAY
FOR II. 0
Simms-Sun River Road Held Up
Pending Clearance of
Route.

Difficulties experienced by the board
of county commissioners in obtaining
right-of-way for the Simms-Sun River
road, which is to be constructed with
federal aid and under the supervision
Of the state highway commission, are
holding up plans preliminary TO the ad-
vertising for bids and the awarding of a
contract.
Virtually all of the farmers. through
whose land the proposed route will
cross, are asking payment for acreage,
it is said. Ben c. Johnston. chairman
of the board. said Tuesday that if an
agreeable price per acre could be fixed.
the right-of-way would be purchased.
If a, reasonable settlement could not be
made, he said. the state highway COM
mission would institute condemnation
proceedings.
The Simms-Sun River road is sur
veyed for a distance of Is miles and
is to be of a standard gravel construc-
ton. The highway commission had
hoped to have the contract awarded by
this time but r~ight-of-way difficulties
have held up plans indefinitely. The
board is now turning its entire atten-
non to the proposed road in hope Of
settling the right-of-way question as
early as possible.
