GERMAN REPLY ON WAY

Paris, May 29.-(By the Associated
Press.)-A courier bearing the Ger
man governments reply to the repara-
tions committee was on the way to
Paris this morning. Unofficial fore
casts were that Germany would ac-
cede to all the demands made by the
commission on condition she be grant
ed an international loan on reasonable
terms. The commission demand was
agreed upon in recent conferences
here with German Finance Minister
Alexandra Hermes. They include pro-
visions for the virtual dictation by the
entente OF measures for the reform of
Germany's financial affairs. Advices
from Berlin say that the Wirth cabi-
nets decision to abide by the results
of Herr Hermes' efforts here was dis
tinctly influenced by the prospects Of
securing the urgently needed loan
and that the governments reparation
policy was sustained by the reichstag.

Railway Brotherhoods
Go Into Session To De-
ternine What Course
of Action To Pursue
Following Decision of
the Railroad L a b o r
Board

Detroit, May 29.-(By the Associate
ed Press )-Belief that a strike vote
would be ordered by the executive
council of the United Brotherhood OF
Maintenance of Ways Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers, was ex-
pressed today by e. F. Grabel, grand
president of the organization, as the
council went into session to consider
the wage reduction ordered by the
United States Railroad Labor Board.
Other Reductions Coming
Chicago, May 9.-Maintenance of
way employees of the nations railways
today face a $4S,OO0,0OO wage reduc.
tion effective July l. The railroad Ia
Dor board last night promulgated the
order which affects 100000 men. This
order, the $4O0,000,O00 slash of last
July, and orders affecting other
classes, if they carry the same ratio
of reductions, would place railroad Ia
Dor where it was before the $500, 900
increase of May, 1920.
Impending decisions governing the
wages of 100000 shopmen, 100000
clerks, telegraphers, station employees
and other classes, were expected to
follow closely upon last nights or
der which cut the pay of maintenance
of way workers from one to five cents
an hour.
With their settlement over working
rules still pending, the big Four"
brotherhoods and the switchmen are
not yet involved in any wage dispute
of the board. These classes received
a IL per cent reduction last July.
Immediate consideration of last
nights order by the executive council
of the United Brotherhood of Mainten-
ance of Way Employees, was in pros
pect today, with the prediction by B.
M. Jewell, head of the railway de-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, that the decision will be re-
jected when submitted to a vote of
the men,
Brotherhood officials characterized
the cut as "indefensible," declaring
the case they presented to the board
did not warrant the reduction.
The three labor members of the
board returned dissenting opinion to
the order. The wage cut decision was
signed by the three members repre-
senting the public and the three rail-
AOoO AhCAlOC1ps
The money saved by the wage re-
ductions will be expended in much
needed maintenance work, according
to reports of the roads, to the boards.
The starting of this neglected work
will give work to 100000 additional
men, it was said
Wages of maintenance employees,
now ranging from Is to 40 cents an
hour, will after July 1, range from 13
to 35 cents. Common labor suffered
the biggest cut. This class, which
numbers about $4,000 employees, faces
a reduction of five cents an hour along
with $1,000 men who work AT shops,
roundhouses and yards.
Section, track and maintenance fore
men will take three-cent reduction
while mechanics not under the shop
crafts agreement, were cut four cents
and mechanics helpers one cent.
nIp the order, the board expressed
belief that after the reductions are
2, common labor on the railroads
az still be receiving higher wages
than silimar labor in most other in
dustries.

LAUNCH "SWAN"
BACK in PORT
WITH ALL SAFE
Vessel Ran Into Severe Storm On
Pensacola Bay and Tied Up
All Night

Pensacola, May 29.-The pleas
ure boat Swan, with about 80 per-
sons aboard, which was missing
throughout the night, reached her
dock here early today with all
hands aboard safe. The vessel
ran into a Gulf storm late yester-
day but tied up on The other side
of the bay until it was safe to
proceed to Pensacola, it was
stated.
The Swan left Camp Saufley,
a beach resort at $50 p. n1.. yes
terday, but encountered gale and
heavy seas in Santa Rosa Sound.
Attempts to return to Camp
SaufIey we're unsuccessful and the
little 7o.foot motor-propelled Ves-
sci could do no more than hold her
own. An anchor was dropped
about six miles from here during
the night and several fruitless at
tempts were made to come to port
during IuIIs in the gale. Anoher
try shortly after daylight was sue
cessful and the vessel docked at
$50 a. m., IL hours after it left
Saufley.
MoDlle 0eIS message
Mobile, May 29.-An intercepted ra-
dio message from the naval air station
at Pensacola, picked up this morning
by the Battlehouse wireless station,
states that the launch, Swan, is back
in Pensacola. The message did not
give any details.
Launch Was in Trouble
Pensacola, Fla, May 29.-Every
available power boat in this vicinity,
including subchasers from the navy
yard here, searched through the night
and early today for the pleasure boat
Swan, which, with so passengers
aboard, left Camp Saufiey, Santa Rosa
island, about o'clock yesterday eve
ming for Pensacola, and Immediately
ran into a Gulf storm.
The Swan was sighted late yester-
day evening by a launch which re-
ported that the Swan appeared to be
having engine trouble and that she
was drifting toward the mouth of the
bay and out into the open Gulf. The
launch attempted to aid the disabled
and storm tossed pleasure boat but
on account of the high seas was un-
able to give any assistance.
High winds and seas over the Gulf
are hindering the search for the boat.
The weather bureau last night in a
special storm warning, said strong
northeast winds and thick rainy
weather probably would prevail dur
ing Monday.
