RAIL MEN SAY RATES
DEPEND UPON BOARD
Labor Body Virtually Controls
Costs, Is Their Reply
to Harding.

Special Dispatch to THE New yoRK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. may I'll.
The nineteen railroad executives who
dined at the White House last night
are willing TO adopt President Harding's
suggestion for a voluntary reduction OF
rates to add impetus to the business
revival. provided it can be done without
crippling the railroads and preventing
the expenditure of money needed for
equipment to meet the larger volume Of
traffic.
That, 1t was learned to-day, was in
effect the reply of the railroad men to
Mr.. Harding. They indicated clearly
their belief that the crux of the matter
lies with the Railroad Labor Board.
which by It's influence in controlling the
wages paid by the railroads to their
employees virtually controls operating
costs.
Under the law the Interstate Com
merce Commission is bound to consider
a reasonable return on the invest
ments of the railroads in fixing rates.
With operating costs at their present
figure. members of the commission do
not see how they can order material
reduction in rates. The railroad execu-
tives. for the same reason. hesitate to
make q voluntary move In that direc-
tion with no prospect of lower wage
costs.
President Harding is hopeful. how
ever. that the committee of railroad
executives which will be appointed as
result OF last nights conference will be
able to work out plan that will per-
NIT of some substantial reductions, at
least on commodities that enter largely
into the commercial fabric Of the coun-
try.
conference will be movement to amend
the existing transportation act so as to
consolidate the activities of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and the
Railroad Labor Board. At present they
operate independently. the commission
regulating rates and the board wages.

KIIEITHVAUDElLLE
GAINSPOPULARITY
HERE EACH week
Well Balanced Bill Starting
Today Wins Favor at Open
ing Performance.

Each week brings fresh evl.
dence of the growing popularity
OF the Keith vaudeville program
at the Blue Ridge 'lneater. Offer
ed at popular prices and supple.
mented by a feature motion pic
ture, the Keith acts are repldly
winning place in the hearts Of
the Fairmont theater.goers.
Although the theater opened at
time when business conditions
were depressed as result Of the
recent coal strike and although
the audiences during the opening
weeks were said to be discourage
ing to the management, the a..
tendance has been gradually In.
crasinS, and within the next few
weeks It is believed that Keith
vaudeville will become an estab-
lished part OF the regular enter.
tainment offered In Fairmont.
The Blue Ridge Theater has
been offering four acts OF vaude,
vile and five reel feature PIC
! ture at price only slightly above
the admission charged by the mo.
tion picture houses here, and
some OF the best acts on the Keith
circuit have already been seen IN
Fairmont.
The program for the first three
days Of this week. which was
staged for the first time this at
ternoon, proved to be the best
balanced bill that has been Offer

that is as different as it is clever.
Bob Knapp and Christ cornalls
are indeed versatile chaps. They
are acrobats Of the first water,
comedians OF a good deal Of ahll.

this assortment Of talents. they
manage to contribute fifteen lively
minutes to the amusement OF
vaudeville freQuenters. They
work conscientiously in putting TO.
gether what they please to term
"a Pot-pourri Of Vaudeville" and
judging from the appreciation Of
the audience their work has been
well rewarded.
They have just completed a two
