RAILWAY LABOR
EXPECTS WAGES
TO ESCAPE CUT
Denial OF Rate Increase No
Excuse for Slash,
Say Leaders.

81 United Press
CLEVELAND, Oct. 21.-Refusal Of
the interstate commerce commits
sion to grant a blanket freight rate
increase demonstrates the adequacy
OF present rates. A. F. Whitney.
president Of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, told the United
Press today.
II the commission felt a rate in
crease was fair, it would have
granted the increase" Whitney said.
In Ike manner, if the commission
advances a counter-proposal to adj
vance rates on certain commodities
the commission evidently feels that
the railroads are entitled to such
increases"
Possibility of the railroads seek
ing recourse through wage reduc-
tions was discounted by Whitney,
who said he had heard of no such
contemplated proposals.
see no reason why railroads
should suggest a wage reduction
simply because their request for
freight rate increases was rejected"
ne said. 1T would be absurd when
purchasing power has declined to
its present levels. The railroads
only would be crucifying them
selves"
The commissions action was re-
ceiyed with keen disappointment
by w. L. Ross, president of the
Nickel Plate Railroad, unit of the
Van Sweringen system.
The railroads needed a blanket
increase and naturally am disap-
pointed" the United Press was told.
Ot course, any increase even on
specified commodities will be help
tul, provided they are put into eff
feet Immediately"
By United Press
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. 21.-
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor held
out hopes today for the success of
a government plan to maintain
railway wages, making plain that
any attempt toward reduction will
meet strenuous resistance.
President Green, en- route east
from the federation convention in
vancouver, B. c., pointed out that
wages are fixed through a railway
arbitration board and can not be
changed at will. He would not
deny that strikes might result from
any wage cuts.
