NO DESIRE FOR RAILROAD STRIKE ON
PART0F WORKERS, SAY RAIL CHIEFS

ing whether the men themselves, that
is, the railroad employees, really are
in sympathy with resistance Of the
decisions Of the United States rail-
road labor board.
"The truth is that the men have
been expecting a reduction in their
wages and have made or are making
preparations to meet the new scale.
There is no talk of strike among the
men. The disturbing statements
read by the public are prepared by
leaders of the unions, whose view
point has been distorted by months of
effort before the board to resist the
inevitable downward trend of wages.
The employees, on the other hand, are
in the main sincerely interested in
taking care of their jobs and their
homes, and few employees in any in
dustry have more good reasons for
doing So"

Wy senator Williams, Democrat,
Mississippi. Chairman McCum-
ber Of the finance committee
gave notice that he would make
another effort later in the day to
get the measure to the senate
calendar.
Washington, June S.-The soldiers
bonus bill was formally presented in
the senate by Chairman McCumber Of
the finance committee with an accom-
panying report placing the probable
cost to the federal government at $3,,
S45,00O,0O0 spread over period of 43
years from next January I. This is ap-
proximately quarter of billion dol
lars less than the estimates under the
house BILL
The senate bill estimate was pre-
pared by treasury experts and is based
on the theory that rs per cent Of the
veterans who would be eligible for
compensation, would elect the adjust
ed service certificate option; % 1-2
per cent vocational training aid.
Should all of the veterans select the
certificate plan the total cost would
be $4,4S6,545,975 ~
No Added Taxes.
With reference to financing the leg
islation Chairman McCumber's report
said it was hoped the reduction in gov.
ernmental expenditures plus the pay
ment of interest on the refunded for
eign government obligations would be
sufficient to obviate the imposition OF
additional taxati0n.
AS to the refunded foreign obliga-
tions the hope was expressed that this
soon would be obtained and that it
will be possible for the foreign gov
ernment to provide for the immediate
payment of interest thereon so that
such interest can be used toward de-
fraying the expenses authorized un-
der this act"
Reduce Cash Payment.
Senator McCumber explained that
an attempt had been made to reduce a
minimum actual cash payment under
bill during the next three years, while
the treasury is engaged in refunding
the nearly seven billions of dollars of
maturing government obligation. The
estimated cost of the bonus for these
three years was $242 100000. After its
presentation to the senate the bonus
bill went to the calendar where 1t will
remain until there is an agreement to
call it up.
AS now drafted the egislation would
give each veteran the right to select
any one of the following plans:
Adjusted service pay but only II
his adjusted service credit did not
exceed $50. 80,
Adjusted service certificates with
bank and government loan provisions.
Vocational training aid.
Farm and home aid.
Land settlement aid.
The adjusted service certl1lcates
payable at the end of 20 years from
the date of issue or sooner upon deatn
would have a face value of 3.lO5 times
the total amount of the adjusted SER
vice credit.
