REJECT WAGE REDUCTIONS
Suggestion Of Erie Road To Make General Cuts Is Turned Down By Workers After Farley.

Hornell, N. Y., Jan. 1S.-Final re- jection of the proposal of the Erie railroad that a general reduction in wages be established was made at the close of the three day conference be- tween railroad officials and union leaders today.
 Each class of workers was sum moned to the conference and inform ed of the intention to reduce wages to the scale prevailing prior to July 1, 1920, and each in turn rejected the proposal. The cut would mean a loss of about 40 cents a day for men in the train service and from IA to 20 cents an hour for shop workers. with an average reduction of about ten per cent. for all other employees. The shop employees made a counter for an increase of five cents an hour and the train service em- ployes asked for an additional allow lnce to cover expenses when they are away from home. The dispute will be laid before the federal labor board for settlement.

Health Board Chairman Ad- vOcates AbOlishment-
 Health and Education

The penny candy store Is doing more harm to school children today than the saloons did to their elders in the past, and for this reason should be abolished, according to Dr. Frank Zwick. chairman of the board of health.
 The statement was made In the course of an interview in which Dr.. Iwick, who Is chairman of the New Britain Dental clinic, said the most important phase of health work in the schools is the teaching of the child the proper health habits and proper diet.
 "The present generation has refined foods so much that the people have been robbed of the nutritive value it is necessary for them to have" said Dr. Zwick. 'The foods, such as white bread or refined flour have had the calcium taken out and thrown away. Calcium is one of the most essential parts of the blood and we cannot live without it.
 When the calcium in the blood stream is at a low ebb, certain dis eases present themselves. The most common of these diseases is decay of the teeth. Statistics will show that 99 per cent. of the people suffer from this aiment. Several generations back, when people ate whole wheat, the teeth of the people were in far better condition.
 Raw sugar is another element or food product that does not have cal cium, and through the bacteria in the mouth causing tactic acid, causes de- gay of the teeth.
 "rhat is one reason why the penny candy store should be abolished. The great number of men who were turn ed down by the army because of bone and teeth conditions, due to lack of calcium in the blood, proves the inef- iciency of the health program being

 Trotzky's interview, granted to the foreign correspondents here, was the first of an authorized nature he had given since the change in Russia's economic policy.

 Either Premier Lenine or Foreign Minister Tchitcherin will head the Russian soviet delegation to the Genoa economic conference, it was officially announced today.
