FURTHER RAIL PAY
CUT CALLED CRIME
Labor Counsel Cites Divi-
dendS as Less important
Than Lines.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, November 28.-The gen.
eral counsel Of the railway labor organi-
cations that have been asked to accept
10 per cent wage cuts declared today
that further reductions of wages are
further crimes against humanity"
Although not attempting to predict
what the labor unions would do when
they meet here December 8, Donald r.
Richberg counsel for the Railway Labor
Executives Association, said there was
no law under which a railway worker
can be compelled to donate part of
his wages to charity"
Ultimatums that the worker must
accept a reduction or have it forced
upon him were described by Richberg
as empty threats, the bluff and buster
of those who have failed to govern in
dustry wisely and who now show signs
OF being unable to govern themselves"
Final Action Voluntary.
1.-The final action of the employee
must be voluntary" said the attorney.
The unions have already suggested,
he added, that a 10 per cent contribu-
ton to relieve 100000 unemployed rail-
way workers would seriously appeal to
them" but the suggestion was turned
down. The largest dividends in history
were paid owners of railroad stock in
1880, Richberg said, and railroads have
been operating at a profit.
IF the railway employees are to be
assessed $3.50, 000,0 900, who needs the
money more-the families of the I'M
employed workers or the owner of rail-
way securitieS?" he asked.
Richberg took exception in particular
to a recent statement in which S. w.
7 aay,u eo0ratoru IF fha EocfarY, Dali
way Presidents Conference, was quoted
as saying, IF the workers do not realize
the distress of the carriers and under
stand that wage reductions mean life
or death to many of our roads, then
the railway officials will Immediately
begin formal proceedings to obtain the
relief which is prime necessity for
the existence of their lines"
Distresses Are Compared.
what asked the attorney, sis the
greatest distress of the railroads? Is it
the distress of million railroad stock
holders who were paid the largest divi-
dends in history in the depression year
of 1880, or is it the distress of 500, 900
railroad workers who have earned moth
ing for year and are destitute?"
In explanation Of his statement re-
garding dividends, Richberg said the
total ngure Tor last year was $500, 624, =
912, or 1872 per cent on dividend paying
stock, or 6.13 per cent on all realway
stock.
There Is no reason for reducing
railroad wages, because other wages
have been reduced" he said. "Other
industries have reduced their prices.
Other industries are operating at loss.
1.-The railroads have not reduced
rates, but have obtained authority to in
crease rates. They have been operating
at a profit"

Minimum Requirements" Within
Treaty Limits Hinge on Higher
Appropriations, Is Sentiment.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
On the heels of controversy between
President Hoover and proponents of a
larger American Navy, Secretary Adams
yesterday reminded the Chief Executive
of a belief within the service that more
ships are needed.
In his annual report, the Secretary
of the Navy said sentiment existed that
greater appropriations are needed to
provide adequately for minimum re-
quirements within treaty limits.
He cited that expenditures for new
construction and modernization have
averaged "only $43,572, 900 during the
nine fiscal years of 1923-1931, inclusive
sum which falls far short of provid-
ing for requirements and depreciation. y
Larger Sums. Desired.
cit should be borne in mind that
many OF the most experienced and far
seeing officers feel that amounts rea-
sonably in excess of those being an
nually appropriated can be used advan-
tageouSly-in fact, are essential to pro-
vide adequately for the Nays mini
mum requirements within treaty linn
It's" Adams said.
The question of larger appropriations
President Hoover's attitude toward
them, and the sentiment within the
Navy itself have been national dispute
centers in recent weeks.
Secretary Adams report was under
consideration, however, before the issue
was drawn so clearly.
Out of the situation was precipitated
the bitter controversy between the Chief
Executive himself and the Navy League.
headed by William H. Gardiner in
which Mr.. Hoover was accused of being
''abysmally ignorant" OF naval needs.
At another time Mr.. Hoover was rep
resented at the White House as being
deeply exercised and ready to appeal
to the country against what he believed
were undercover attempts within the
Navy to build up sentiment for greater
appropriations.
Probe Due in Congress.
The differences have had their rever-
berations in Congress, and only this
week the Navy League returned to the
attack. It restated many Of its charges
against the ADMINISTRATORS naval poll
cies and held the Presidents commits
sion which cleared him of the leagues
original charges had not produced facts

At the forefront of his annual report,
Secretary Adams told President Hoover
the Navy was to be kept in tip-top
shape-aS deterrent to war itself, but
adequate for combat If necessary.
Expenditures IN the fiscal year ended
last June 80 were given as 1857 800, 219.
Those estimated to be expended during
the present year are 1886. 000, 900 out

28.-Fears that IA persons had met
death in the cold waters of Lake SD
perior were dispelled when a Grand
Marais Coast Guard boat arrived here
at 9 pm. today after a stormy trip
from Isle Royale.
Until the radio message, no word
had come from the group since it left
Grand Portage for Isle Royale early
Thanksgiving day. Reports of snow
storm on Lake Superior had increased
fears for the party and cutters from
three Coast Guard stations had been
ordered to search the vicinity of Isle
Royale.
Storm and accident combined to de-
lay the return of the five Coast
Guardsmen who set out Thanksgiving
day from Grand Portage to escort to
Isle Royale three fishermen, one OF
whom was accompanied by his wife
and five children. The fisherman's
party Travelled in one boat, the Coast
Guardsmen in a second. third craft,
bearing SUPPLIES, was towed by the Coast
Guard boat,
At 8 o'clock this morning, the men
started for Grand Marais. However,
the wind was too strong and they put
back to the hartor. Later the wind
abated somewhat and the trip was
completed.
