 ec and following a short hearing
 m police court this morning the cases
 of the two taken into custody were l ordered continued until Saturday to
 permit the police to subpoena to the occupant Of the bungalow, Willard
 Hazelton. The two men arrested are Fred Reyher, 19, of 335 Meriden road and Lucien Nadeau, 21. of 523 Meriden road. They are charged with breach of the peace. .+. It was shortly before 2:30 o'clock this morning that anxious telephone summons for the police were sent into headquarters. Patrolman John Deeley req ched the scene first. He was greeted by a number of excited tenants. clad in various styles of night attire. The officer after smashing open a door of the bun galow found Reyher and Nadeau sleeping somewhat fitfully.
 In the living room of the place a chioattc scene greeted the officers eyes. The rug on the floor had been pulled up; table rested upside down several feet from its custom ary place, one chair was broken in half and other articles of furniture thrown out in disorder. When questioned at tha: hour as to what had happened, neither of the accus- building stephen DiStiso could not identity either man as being a ten ant of the apartment house and filed complaint against them.
 In court today the accused re- reated .heiI story. Early last evening they had been invited to a party. It was understood that the guests were assembled with Hazel tons permission. The party included four men and one young woman. About 11:30 o'clock Reyher and Nn- were passing out of the picture and the gathering lost all interest for them. They adjourned to the, bel- room and proceeded to go to sleep. What happened between 11:30 and 2:30 o'clock to start the riot and resultant destruction of furniture they do not know. One admitted hearing a commotion, but was "too sick" to he sufficiently interested to investigate.
 It developed that someone dashed out of the bungalow during the course of the fight and that when aroused tenants voiced their pro- tests two persons went out through a window onto a adjoining roof and reached the ground by means of a fire escape.
 As Reyher and Nadeau persisted in their denials that they knew anything about the disturbance, Judge T. V Meyer ordered the case continued until Saturday and in- structed the police to subpoaen MT Hazelton For an explanation. In- cidentally the owner of the bunga- low and tenants of St Regis are awaiting a most adequate explana- tion of that they had believed wos nothing shcrt of a murder.

Railways Intend To Make That Wage Cut
 AS Workers Protest
Labor Unions Claim That Magnates Would Make Them 'Pay Dole to Idle Capital" By 10 Per Cent Slash

their obligations to human beings dependent on the industry ought to take precedence" the letter stated.
 If these obligations cannot be voluntarily given Q first lien upon operating revenues, at least you cannot reasonably expect the rail- way employees voluntarily to place the claims of human life secondary to the claims of property.
 You are asking that the em- ployed workers take ten per cent from their earnings to support idle capital. You are taking nothing from the earnings of capital to support unemployed workers. We submit that the first duty of the employed workers. after their duty to their dependents, Is an obliga- ton to their fellow employees who are denied an opportunity of em- ployment."
 Robertson pointed out that ap- proximately 1.760.000 workers comprise the railroad unions, rep- resenting probably 8,000,000 per- sons dependent on the industry. He said 5O0,000 of this number are unployed and another 500.00O have only "the insecure promise of less than a subsistence wage." Still an- other half million may expect to earn only "a little more than subs sistence," he stated.
 He pointed out that union mem bers have been contributing to their fellow workers for two years.
 We submit" he continued. that impartial public will support our answer that labor cannot be called upon to pay q dole to idle capital. We are confident that this proposi- informed, impartial Judgment with- out fear of the consequence. 1 Labor's program for ameliora- ton discussed during the confer ence, provided among other things for a six-hour day, for guarantee of work for one year, and for a bil- lion dollar bond issue to finance grade crossing elimination.
 Railways wage cut suggestion, l Robertson pointed out, "has not been coupled with any assurance that the money thus saved would be applied either to increase enl- ! ployment, or even to stabilize exist ing employment"
 Five stages of mediation are open after the railway executives | have served labor with the formal 30-day notice that it intends to re- duce wages 10 per cent:
 Joint conferences may be held between agents of both sides. If this fails to result in settlement.
 Impartial judges may be op- pointed to a board of mediation which will attempt to work out an agreement acceptable to both sides. If this board fails.
 Arbitration may be proposed by either group. and if the other group consents the findings of the referee is legally binding. But If arbitration is avoided.
 President Hoover may create an emergency board to study the | problem. Neither side, however, can be legally compelled to accept its suggestions.
 Strikes may result go days after 1 the findings of the emergency | board. unless an agreement has been reached in the meantime.

permit the immediate transmission Of written messages from any eub- scribAr directly to any other Bub- scrlber just as the telephone now transmits speech.
 The present teletypewriter ser- vice of the Bell System is furnish ed only in connection with private wires which are not connected to central switching points. This pri- ate wire service, now widely used for inter.office communication, will be continued as heretofore. The new switching service through teIe- typewriter exchanges is now possi- ble because of development in ap- paratus and operation. These per- init intercomfnunicati0n by t6le- typewriter on a nationwide basis just as the development of tele- phone switchboards made possible the interconnection to telephone instruments.
 The new te1etypewriter service will thus have the 1iexibility that characterized the regular telephone service of the Bell companies. The establishment of switching offices similar to telephone exchanges en- ables subscribers to the new ser vice, to call and secure connections just as they do for local or long distance telephone conversations

while their tslstypewriter lines are connected they may send or receive typed messages as desired.
 Soon after The American Tele- phone and Telegraph Company was organized to develop long distance service 1t became apparent that the telephone wire system could be l adapted to provide circuits to con- cerns needing private wire facili- l ties.
 The first line furnished connect cd the New York and Boston os- Aces of 6. M. Weld and Company and was put in service on Decem-
 ber 9, 1887. As the long distance
 circuits were extended the private
 wire service grew rapidly among
 those having need for constant
 communication with distant
 branches or correspondents, such
 as banks, brokers, or press associa-
 tions. The scope ot the service
 was immediately widened when the
 teletypewfiter began to Do used
 in 1915. Within the past i've years there has been marked increase
 in the number of industrial con-
 cerns using them and the variety of uses they have found for them.

New York, Nov 23. (UP)-Rail- way wage dispute was under way to-day. with executives planning immediate action toward 10 per cent reduction and labor set to fight what 1t termed efforts to make 1t sspay a dole to idle capital"
 Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore q Ohio, and chairman of the railway presidents commit tee which has been comforting with labor representatives here, an- nounced the executives intention yesterday after a final conference between the two groups.
 His statement was made after he had received a letter from David B. Robertson, chairman of the railway labor executives association informing him the trainmen would not accept a cut voluntarily.
 The employers first step toward reduction is expected to develop in early regional conferences to draft q formal notice to be served on Representatives of the employees oi individual lines.
 Labor's fight will be planned by meeting of the 1,500 chairmen representing all railway unions al Chicago December 8.
 The presidents asked labor to voluntarily accept a 10 per cent cut for one year because they said they considered 1t essential to re- storing prosperity in the industry They argued the reduction in the cost of living would leave the workers wage, even after the cut capable of purchasing "substantial- ly more" than could have been bought under present wages wher they went into effect.
 Labor's reply stressed the human side and insisted capitals "obliga' tions to the human beings depend ent upon this industry ought tc take precedence" Robertson's let ter intimated 1t was unfair to de- crease labor's share of the revenue dollar so that the capital share might be increased.

 Washington, Nov 23.--(UP)- Army air corps headquarters re- ceiyed a report the other day from Colorado which would indicate a possible flaw in the noble experi- ment In that state. Lieut. Ray Wtl- son of the Colorado National Guard was flying over sparsely settled territory. He descended on g farm and asked the old countryman:
 Any deer around here?'
 The farmer. who was a triflc deaf, replied:
 "How many bottles did you want?"
 Up on Capital Hill they count noses every day now. There's such a paper thin margin between ma- pority and minority for the demo- crats that it's no fun.
 Every time a member of the house on the Jeffersonian side gets q toothache or an attack Of ton silities, daily bulletins are passed along the line on his condition. He simply must be on hand Tor the opening sessions or the republicans may seize control and elect the speaker ana COHiihittSS ShoAAAAoih
 Some such conversations as fol- lowing may be imagined as taking place almost any day In the corri- dors or cloakrooms:
 Congressman Corntassel: Hey Jack, Flubdub is down with house. maids knee!
 Congressman Garner, prospec- tive speaker: Ogeegosh! Quick. count noses!
 Corntassle: We're still ahead by a nose.
 Garner: Thank goodness-you had me all aflutter. Congressman Doakes: Holy smoke. John, Jim Jimson's In bed with
 Garner: With what? Doakes: With tularemia. Garner: Cod liver oil three times day before meals. He's got to be here December z.
 A capitol guard the other day found a big negro wandering in fu- tile fashion about the senate office building. Asked what he wanted, the wanderer said:
 "Tm looking for MT Garner. I heard him tell there was going to be a reorganization an thought MT Garner might give me a Job."
 Actually. there will be a few new jobs. If the democrats organize the house. majority jobs will be- come minority jobs and vice versa. with no unemployment problem to speak of.
