WEST BADEN, Ind, July 23.- (By Associated Press. )-Primed for q long fight tomorrow over a committee proposal that $10,000 be appropriated for use of the federation publication 'The Independent Woman" delegates at the convention of the National Fed eration of Business and Professional Women, tonight pondered over the ad- vice of their executive secretary, Miss Elinor Coonrod of ChattahOogo, Tenn, that they never forgot their dignity.
 Partisans in the fight on "The In- dependent Woman" fight declared the organization as split into two factions with the Illinois group leading the op- position. Those who protest against the appropriation say the official mag aZine of the federation should be so managed as to be self-supporting.

RAILMEN'S DECISION
 IS KEPT SECRET
Conferees Refuse To Divulge
 Plans To Combat Board

CHICAGO, July g. - Railroad union chieftains who conferred today on the question of appearing before the United States Labor Board in response to subpoenas refused tonight to make known their decision. In assuming Jurisdiction over dispute carried on privately between virtually all the westren railroads and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Bremen and Engine men the board had summoned the grand chairman and the national of ficers of the brotherhoods to appear July 24.
 D. N. Robertson. president of the firemen's organization, declared after the conference there are times when one must remain silent as much as one would like to talk. 1 can tell you nothing of the subjects discussed al our meeting" Others who attended the conference were equally reticent.
 The aid of the United States dis trict court will probably be asked to compel the appearance of the union representatives if they absent them selves from the hearing tomorrow. In such event the board would ask the court to order the witnesses summoned to comply with the subpoenas, or to give evidence otherwise touching upon the dispute, subject to penalty for con- temDt of court

By RODNEY F. BUTCHER (Lease1 Wire to Age-Herald)

NEW YORK, July 23.-visitors to New York may soon find it cheaper to ride in taxicabs here than to wear out good shoe leather.s1
 It's already one of the most economi, cal ways one can think of to spend a vacation.
 Until day or two ago the 16,000 cabs of the metropolis were used only in cases or rain, rush or revelry.
 Now they're in competition with sub ways, elevated lines, movie shows, ex- wheelbarrows and park benchesetaoi barrows and park benches. They're being used as, pleasure cars, rest cures, parlor sofas and vehicles in which to get somewhere. sz
 Something like 5000 cabs are now being operated at straight fare of 20 cents mile, the cheapest rate in the country, and the rush for these cars resembles the frantic jam at a Long Island beach when a Asunken booze boat casts up her precious cargo on the wa ters off Rum Row.
 Other Cars Idle
 The other 5000 cars, owned by com panies which have failed to meet the fare-cut, which amounts to almost 50 per cent, are parked on the side streets, with every driver as disgusted as if he had received a 10-cent tip at the end of 10-mile trip. And that is the su- perlative of disgust.
 Unlike most price wars, the bright and shining spot of this joyful and un- precedented situation is that the low rates are here to stay. They may go lower, but sufficient unto the present is the glee thereof, for some of the big taxi companies are already installing new meters which will record the new fares, and they promise that they'll never, never resurrect the old ones.
 Just now customers are given cards by which, if they're any good at all at the lower mathematics, they can fig ure out the correct charge regardless

of the meter. The result is the same, but it's hard on the dance hall sheik who bundles n new-found sweetie into cab and discovers she lives out on the end of Montauk Point. The fare is lower, but the strain of figuring it as the car bowls along, added to the. ac- customed mental travail of watching the meter race toward the pocketbook limit, may fill several local asylums.
 Make Great Love Nests
 As love nests on wheels, however. these cabs have no peer. The full force of this began to be seen Wednesday night--the first balny, moonlight sum- Fmer's eye under the new rates. During the day, tourists had reveled in the hired. cars, scores of old men were to be seen taking an afternoon snooze with their feet on the extra seats, parties of giggling flappers were having the time of their lives, and visiting buyers and firemen were racing to and fro from the Battery to Bronx Park.
 Then came the shades of night and their all-concealing privacy. If cab drivers had eyes and ears the reputa- tions of half the New York telephone book might De affected by the betting parties that were staged this night Two could ride all evening long for the price of a high-class movie show. No extra charge is made for additional passengers, so the possibilities of dou- bling up. are obvious.
 Cab Business Jumps
 President A. Shapiro of the Mogul Checker company, the largest of the rate-cutters, was found running around in circles. New cabs, he said, are be- ing made as fast as they can be turned out. The company now has 8 stands and plans 100 new ones at once.
 Telephone business today increased 150 per cent" said he. "Such busi- ness! We took in $2 cab more in the first hour today then yesterday. And we have 2,O00 cabs?"
 Up to noon the Mogul cabs were 90 per cent occupied, according to >Sha- piro, and cruising" had almost become q lost art.
 We're going to stay at 20 cents a mile because we've discovered the pub lie will ride in cheap cabs" he con tinued. '"The extra business we'll do will more than make up for the cut.

CLEMENCY URGED FOR APACHE GANG BY AR. SHATTUCK
A merican Millionaire Spent A Fortune Track
 ing Down Criminals

PARIS, July 23.-Albert R. Shat tuck, the T1-year-old millionaire who spent a fortune in tracking down four French apaches in revenge for a crime against his wife and himself, which almost cost their lives, now seeks to temper justice with mercy.
 Gabriel Alphonse Mourey, leader of the gang which locked MT. and Mrs. Shattuck and eight servants in an un- ventilated wine vault of the Shattuck home in New York and then stole SS0,000 in jewelry, was convicted here Wednesday, principally on Shattuck's testimony, and sentenced to die.
 But the aged millionaire, who after several trips across the ocean in his unceasing quest, has now seen three or the four bandits convicted and sen tenced, does not desire that Mourey be punished more severely than if he had been tried under the laws of America, and has consequently announced that he would ask President Doumergue of France to commute Mourey's sentence to life imprisonment.
 Under French law, Mourey was con victed of intent to use violence in com mission of crime and the penalty for such intent here is death by the gull lctine. Mourey was tried here through q special arrangement between the gov eInments of France and the United States. Two of his comrades, caught and convicted in New York soon after the crime more than two years ago, were sentenced to from 40 to 50 years at hard labor in Sing Sing prison. The fourth bandit. Paul Camilieri, recently was taken to the United States and he also will be tried in New York.
 Despite Shattuck's plea for elem .ency, it is believed most unlikely that hIourey will escape the guil.otine. 7 Mourey fired on the police who ar rested him, and that, too. is capital offense in France. The verdict of the judges held unanimously that there were no extenuating circumstances in the case.

WHEAT GROWERS MAY BOYCOTT
 GRAIN MERGER
Undertaking Character. ized As Combination
 Of Trading Interests

CHICAGO, July 23.-That the con. templated merger of five of the largest grain elevator companies in the country is simply a continuation Of grain trade interests and not in any sense of the word cooperative marketing associa- tion of farmers" was the opinion voiced today of a conference of wheat growers here. The conference, called by Frank O. Lowden, chairman of the National Wheat Growers advisory committed included representatives of the state wide wheat pools of Oklahoma, Texas Indiana and North Dakota and a num- Der of leaders in the national co-opera- tive movement.
 Representatives of all the pooling as- sociations stated sthat in their opinions none of their associations would sell and that the farmers in their states would not purchase any stock in the un- rtaking.
 A plan for the formation of a central exchange to handle the several pools output of wheat was prepared at the meeting and was referred to the state association for approval. Favorable ac- tion on the proposed national body, which will unify the activities of the state pools and will push the wheat into other states than those where it is now supported by the farmers, is ex- pected from many unattached organi- zations as well as from four associations represented
 It was announced that the co-opera- tive bodies represented at the confer ence will handle 5O,00O,00O bushels of this years wheat crop.
 Previous to the meeting of the Lowden conference, the executive committee of the national codncil of farmers coop eratiye marketing associations decided to hold the next annual conference of the council in Washington, January 4. Bills by congress relating to co-opera- tive marketing will be reviewed at that time. The council according to its off cers' represents noe and half million farmers.

ACTION WITHHELD
Gary Awaits Report Of U. S. Steel's
 Corporation Counsel.

Corporation Counsel.
 NEW YORK, July 23.-Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel Corporation, stated today that no legal action would be taken on the federal trade commissions decision di- recting abandonment of the "Pittsburg plus" system until counsel for the cor poration makes report on the case.
 Mir. Gary said he did not think there could ever be any final decision on the question that would materially affect the business of the iron and steel pro ducers or their customers.
 %.'The Pittsburg plus practice, so- called" Mir. Gary continu was es- tablished many years before the United States Steel Corporation was organized. The base point for the sale of steel was first fixed at Philadelphia, 1 think in the seventies, and later Pittsburg be- came the principal point of production.
 ''The base for calculating and de- termining prices moved to Pittsburg and has remained there ever since. However, since the present proceedings were instituted I think our companies have refrained from applying the prac- tice as it had before been followed. My testimony in the present proceedings taken at Washington fully cover the circumstances.
