FEDERAL OFFER
TO EMPLOYERS ;.
NOT ACCEPTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. tU.H-
Employers in two major industries
have rejected invitations to meet
with labor in general conferences
proposed to consider problems aris-
ing from the depression.
The administration has virtually
abandoned hope of bringing bitumi-
nous coal operators and miners to-
gether in an effort to find means
of relieving distress in the coal
fields.
Railroad unions have been re-
buffed in an attempt to arrange a
conference with transportation
heads on the subject of aiding en-
ployment by a six-hour day and
fiye-day week.
Replies have been received from
95 of the 125 bituminous coal oper-
atorS to whom inquiries were ad-
dressed by the department of COM
merce and labor Less than half
were in any way agreeable to the
conference idea.
1t seemed today the proposal
would be dropped unless an emerg-
ency should cause President Hoover
to bring real pressure upon the
operators. There is now no indi-
cation such pressure will be brought
to bear
Union leaders who advanced the
conference suggestion also voted to
resist any wage cuts that might
follow if the interstate commerce
commission should refuse the rail-
roads application for Is per cert
increase in freight rates. 1t was
decided further to urge upon con-
gress next winter a compulsory re-

RUSSIAN AUTHOR
LEARNS MUCH ON
HIS VISIT HERE

NEW YORK. Aug. 4. U.p)-Boris
Pilnyak, Russian author who came
here to give Hollywood directors ad-
vice in making Russian films and
found they knew all about it al
ready, departed these shores last
night with impressions enough to
fill a book, and with three Holly
wood phrases in his vocabulary.
The expressions are "Oh, yeah?"
"Okay,' and "Whoopee!" Pinyak
interprets "whoopee" as represent
ing "the soul in rejoicing"
Over in the land of the five-year
plan, where the proletarian is in
terested in his emotions even if
he has nothing to eat and no shoes
to wear" Pilnyak is known as an
author of best sellers, interested in
antiques. man whose income is 20
times that of Dictator Josef Stain.
In this country he is best remem-
bered as the guest in whose honor
they held that dinner at which
Theodore Dresser slapped Sinclair
Lewis.
Pilnyak arrived at Hollywood and
found the movie about which he
was to give advice had been filmed.
They showed eucalyptus trees
growing in Siberia" he said, 80
why did they need me?"
So, Pilnyak related through an
interpreter, he bought small car
and proceeded across the United
States to observe its cities, customs
and women.
The Russian author classified
American cities in three groups.
There are the industrial centers
New York, Chicago and Alabama. "
Hollywood, Los Angeles land
other small towns" he classed as
provincial villages.
Then there are the cities of Latin
culture, such as New Orleans and
Santa Fe.
Washington is the only European
city in America, but it is living in
the 10th century," Pilnyak opined.
Boston is representative of the
18th century, New York of the 21st. "

Stating that steel producers
are mindful of the fact that
labor has borne a considerable
share of the economic distress,
the magizine indicated that some
plan to spread work broadly, but
not sufficiently to defeat the pur-
pose of the cut, may be forth
coming with the wage reduction
Sufficient time is believed
to have elapsed since the re-
