TAX BOOST H|NTED
IF CHEST FAILS
CoIIaday Points to Necessity
of Public Fund Unless
Goal Is Reached.

Unless voluntary contributions to the
Community Chest reach a total Of
50 6O1 900, the unfortunate residents Of
Washington will have TO be cared for
by public fund, appropriation Of which
would require an increase in taxes,
Edward F. Colladay, general campaign
chairman, declared today at a Chest
luncheon in the Willard Hotel.
Pledges reported today totaled $50
218.12. which increased collections, to
date, to s2,1O9,O29.31.
Today's subscriptions represented a
sharp reduction from most of the daily
totals of last week. Collections Satur-
day amounted to more than 100000.
ColIaday Spurs Workers.
Mr. Colladay urged workers to tell
potential subscribers of the possibility
Of a tax increase unless the Chest goal
is attained. He said the workers must
be firm in convincing the public of
the seriousness of the situation.
The group solicitation unit led all
groups today with donations of S26 1888,
the metropolitan unit had Sl8,99O95,
the special gifts unit, $3.50, and the
schools unit. S979l7.
H. L. Rust, jr., chairman of the met
ropolitan unit exhibited a black cat
contributed by a man who was unable
to make a financial gift. The cat will
be raffled away.
Needs Pointed Out.
Colladay said that unless the drive
is successful 1t means that hundreds
Of little children, hundreds Of sick
and injured, hundreds of jobless bread
winners will lack the help Chest or
ganizationS could give. 1t means that
the Chest organizations will not be able
to function as adequately as they should
and will endanger our proud boast that
no person need go hungry in Washing
ton 1t means that Washington will
have failed to meet its greatest peace

thinkable
That is the dark side Of the picture
The other side is that 1000 devoted

RAIL WAGE SLASH
EFFECTIVE TODAY
Workers Accept 10 Per Cent
Cut, Saving Roads S215,-
100000 in Year.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, III. February Railway
labor, from section hand to engineer,
takes a 10 per cent wage cut today, with
the hope it will give work to its jobleSS
and speed the return Of better times
The agreement, which authorized the
Nations railroads to take s215,0O0, 900
out Of the pay envelopes of the workers
for one year, was signed last night by
leaders of both sides.
1t was a voluntary concession on the
part of labor at the request Of the rail
executives. Had the workers chosen,
they could have forced the carriers to
take the reduction demand before a
board Of arbitration, with consequent,
months of delay. Their rate Of pay is
protected by contract.
In return, the workers received GER
tain concessions to a compromise pro-
gram they proposed, chief among them
being the assurance the railroads would
do as much as conditions would justify
to use the wage cut savings toward re-
lieving the distress of 100000 jobless
and 100000 only partly employed.
Farley Il Days.
The final scene, enacted in the con-
ference room of Loop hotel, CllmaXed
II days Of negotiations that were with
out precedent in the history of rail-
labor relations. Never before had the
two factions pooled their efforts to solve
problem of like nature or magnitude.
AS labor made the decision known, its
chief, David Brown Robertson, gave en-
phasiS to the reason for the concession:
In the hope that our action he
said, may improve the health of our
industry, may improve the relations of
management and employees, may stimu-
late a revival of business and may ad-
vance the general welfare, We have de-
cided to accept the proposal"

And Daniel willard. the veteran arbi-
ter of rail-labor disputes president OF
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and

that the result of this conference may

In some quarters it is believed Am

The presence of the foreign troops in

FARMERS ARRIVE
TO PRESS FOR AID
Thirty Hear Senator Thomas
Pan Secretary Hyde
and Wealthy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Thirty weather beaten WeSternes who
styled themselves Just farmers from
the forks Of the crick come in to tell
Congress the condition we're in went
to the Capitol today to press their de-
mandS for farm relief legislation.
The delegation, headed by T. E.
Howard of Denver, was made up of
members of the Farmers Union from
Western agricultural States.
Calling on Senator Thomas, Demo-
crat, Oklahoma, the farmers were told
that hearings would be opened Thurs
day on his bill TO abolish the Federal
Farm Board and secure to the farmer
a price for agricultural products at
least equal to the cost of production.
The farmers said they intended to
stay in Washington until legislation for
their relief is enacted. They said they
were particularly interested in the
Thomas bill, a measure by Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, Montana. for the
monetization of silver and one by Sena-
tor Frazier, Republican, North Dakota,
for reflnancing agriculture.
Oklahoma and South Dakota were
particularly strongly represented in the
delegation. A leader of the Oklahoma
group was c. H. Hyde of Alva.
Senator Thomas told his visitors that
it has been difficult to secure relief
legislation because the officials that
run things here are all multimillion-
aires.
Secretary Hyde has two automobiles
and two chaufeurS furnished him by
the Government" he said. He doesn't
know what's going on around the
country
You can tell him he's no relative of
mine" interposed Hyde.
Thomas said. however, that Congress
is becoming fairly we'll convinced"
from letters being received from all
parts Of the country that something
should be done"
