Appeal to Rail Workers
To Accept Wage Cut

CHICAGO, June 1s.-Acceptance of
the sl35,ooo.0oo wage cuts July /
VIII be urged upon railroad workers
oy the United States Railroad Labor
Board in a reply to Sundays ulti-
matum from the union chiefs at Gin
cinnati to the effect that IL the work.
ers vote for a strike the leaders will
sanction.
The answer of the board which Is
being prepared by Chairman Ben w.
Hooper will go into phases of the re-
adjustment period. such as rail
wages and their relation to trans
portation costs and to industry and
production in general. Gossip on the
outside IL that II may find its text
In a paragraph from the wage re-
duction order dealing with the bust :
Eess revival now in progress and the
manner in which the transportations
dovetails into 1t all. It read:
That the carriers shall have a fair
opportunity to profit by the revival
Of business in order that they may
expand their facilities is absolutely
indispensable to their efficient serv-
ices to the American public. This
must not be rhisconstrued that the
employees should be called upon to
bear the cost of railway rehabilita-
tion. improved service and reduced
rates. 1t means every citizen. includ-
ing railway employees should bear and
forbear until the carriers are back
on their feet
The argument will be stressed that
strike would not only result in
losses to rail workers and the car
riers, but would likewise retard busi-
ness recovery. Incidentally, some
members pointed out today it also
would defer the scientific adjustment

which the board In its decision said
1t could devote greater consideration
when "the abnormalities" Of the pres

thinks that the motor is destined

except 18th street, throughout the
length Of the city proper.
Development Sure to Come.
In answer to the sixth argument,
that the bridge at New York avenue
would aid the development of that
thoroughfare, the communication de-
clares that this development is GER
tain to come in any event. The ques-
ton is as to whether an increased
development is worth the price OF
dismembering the Naval Hospital and
the destruction of valuable buildings"
That a more imposing structure
could be crerated on the New YORK
avenue line Mr.. Moore holds true,
provided the bridge would be made
the only feature in the landscape.
Mr.. Moore says:
"As a matter Of fact. the bridge is
only one of many elements in a large
and comprehensive plan. AS such 1t
should take it's place. Otherwise.
however imposing it may be in itself,
1t will be SO unrelated to other struc-
lures near it as to become an ex-
ample of bad taste"
Mr.. Moore quotes Frederick Law
Olmsted, sole surviving member OF
the Commission Of Fine Arts OF 1901 !;
Henry Bacon. architect of the Lin
coin Memorial, and James L. Green
leaf, landscape artist Of the fine
arts body. upon reasons why the me-
mortal bridge should be erected di-
rectly across to the Arlington man
sion.
After considering the original plans
Of LEnfant for the city, the regard
which the park commission had for
f~
proaches from Potomac Park to the
bridge at the memorial can be so
planned that vehicles need not come
within 500 feet of the memorial in
order to cross the bridge, Mr.. Moore
states, in conclusion, that a high ma
sonry bridge starting from the Naval
Hospital grounds on the axis of New
York avenue would have no direct
connection with and no architectural
relation at all to Potomac Park.

Great Britain probably will begin

ments are made for the funding Of the
$5,00o;O00.oo0 of obligations, it was

Possible Arransenents.
With September nearly half gone,
officials expressed the belief that
funding arrangements could not be
worked out with Great Britain before
the latter part Of October.
The view, however. was expressed
would meet the October il INSTALL
ment Of interest, making payment
through New York bankers, as the
Ptttman silver debt is being liquidat-
cd, and that by November Is, when
dpOuI toOsVVVsUVV, tuo remainder OF
the semi-annual installment of inter.
est, falls due. the program for Eng
land meeting Its wartime Obligations
to this country will have been COM
pleted.
4 Vast Payments Overdue. 1.
AS the British debt now stands there
is $4,135, 100000 Of principal and $61i,-
100000 of interest falling due over
the three years ending last April,
which was deferred by mutual UNDER
standing until funding plans could be
adopted, SO: that the October Is in
stallment would be the first interest
actually to fall due and payable. ~
As yet, according to Treasury ON
cials, there has been no direct COM
munfcatfon from Great Britain Of that

will be Forthcoming is regarded as

Would Cut on View.

by reason Of it's great height, 100
arches, it would diminish the scale
Of the Lincoln Memorial, and the
bridge, by reason of its oblique di-
rection, would appear to be closing in
on the memorial" Chairman Moore
says. ALSO it would cut off the view
Of the memorial from Georgetown
and from the Key bridge" He con-
tinues, in summary:
''The bridge in any case should be
very simple in design. to accord with
the Doric order Of the Lincoln Memo
rial. and the bridge should be no more
elaborate in one location than in the
other. The plan Of 1901 calls for
much shorter masonry structure on
the Virginia. lie than Is estimated IN
the engineers report even for low
bridge on the New York avenue site.
The bridge on the Lincoln Memorial
Arlington site, by reason Of the fact
that it involves the least masonry, IS
least expensive.
} s'The main axis Of the Mall links
together the Capitol, the Washington
Monument and the Lincoln Memo
rial: and it was the wise plan. of the
carry, by means Of q memorial bridge,
this axis on. to Arlington. Thus
without interruption the beholders
Of the monuments would have i'm
puessed on their minds the vista
which binds them together and
which, adding to the Importance OF
each, makes one grand sweep from
the Capitol to the mansion on the
heights Of Arlington. It will be,
compositions in architectural design
in the world. It's value would be
most seriously lessened if the bridge
planned to connect the Lincoln Me-
mortal with Arlington is placed else
where.
saThe New York avenue bridge, 100
feet high, would cost great deal
more than the other: but. economical
considerations aside, memorial
bridge from the Lincoln Memorial to
Arlinston. forming an integral part
Of the big plan Of Washington. is SO
ried to the brink Of the Potomac that
It should be absolutely the choice OF
tho authorities. The basic continuity
Of the plan Of Maj. LEnfant should
be preserved"
