Popular in Politics
Speaker Longworth is one of the
best known and most popular men

been mentioned as a presidential
possibility. Although he seems
much younger, he has reached the
age of Ga fact which added to
the concern of his friends in all
branches of political life and in
both major political parties.
The Speaker was suffering from
an earlier cold when the last con-
gress adjourned, but it gave him no
immediate concern. He left Wash
ington late last month and came
here for vacation, where he since
has played golf and attended an oc-
caSional dinner party.
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth have
been social leaders both in Wash

A month ago Mr. Willard advised re-
ducine wages of railroad workers. At
the time he said reductions could not
be made in tine to be of assistance
in the present emergency"
Like other leading railroads of the
country, the Baltimore & Ohio has re-
duced its force in the last six months
and placed many units on part-time
schedule. The salary reduction today,
however. is the first general cut the
road has made.
In an interview yesterday Mr.. VIII
lard declined to commit the Baltimore

however he approved the New York
Central Railroad plan Of attempting to
reach wage cut agreement between en-
ployers and brotherhoods.
He likewise said the "layof" of ap-
proximately 5000 shopmen of the Bal
timore & Ohio was effected month
ago in order to allow their re-employ-
ment during the Winter, when needs
were more acute. These shopmen, he
made plain. were merely furloughed and
not discharged. Their jobs were there
for them when the need for their serv-
ices arose.
Mr. Wizards office tonight explained
that the road would have to go before

such action be deemed advisable.
