NEW YORK, September 24-In
searching around for an explanation Of
the surprising strength in railroad
| stocks the reasons for it, as given by
Wall Street, were, first, the prospect CT
an amicable settlement of the wage dis
pute; second. the increasing evidence
that car loAdingS are running abcVe
seasonal anticipations, and third, the
resumption Of the strength in those
railroad Junior bonds which recently
/ lost about one-half of the rise they had
enjoyed from the end Of May to the
early part of September.
There is little doubt that different
kind of procedure is being adopted by
the railroad representatives in promot-
ing their campaign for lower wages Of
employees. The original strategy was Of
brusQue and arbitrary type. 1t mainly
reflected the attitude of Western Of
| ficialS, who were not in agreement with
| the form of open discussion that sue
cessfully procured 10 per cent reduc-
ton last Winter. 1t has been realized
within the past week that the present
method was not having the sympathy
of the mere conservative element in the
railroad world and that it did not fit
! in with the ideas of an administration
I
lations between employers and en-
ployes, the eventual result of which was
likely to be protracted strike.
Compromise Held Likely.
1t now appears that the representa-
tives of railroad management and CT
railroad labor are considering somewhat
| the same kind of treatment of the wage
! situa ton as was carried through under
/ the direction of Daniel Willard at Chi
/ cago in January, which ended in rela-
/ tionS Of friendlinesS between the two
groups such as before had rarely been
expressed There is a feeling also that
/ instead of a long process of argument
based on an additional 10 per cent cut,
which would supplement a similar re-
duction put into effect on February l.,
it may be possible to develop an early
| compromise at IS per cent, meaning
| that this would be the total reduction
from the pay schedules in effect before
the Chicago agreement was made.
| This would not satisfy some of the
radical elements among the railroad
arrangements, who have been inSistent
| that wages be reduced from 90 to 25
per cent below the 1881 level. 1t is OBJ
vious. however, that their claims could
not be made effective in arbitration
proceedings and that the outcome would
| be series of labor disturbances as seri-
Gus to the carriers as those in the
| shopmen's strike of 10 years ago.
! The record of railroad car loadingS
shows that nearly a score of carriers
are now moving traffic at rate of in
crease slightly higher than that termed
seasonal" There has been consider
able stimulus to business among the
Southwestern roads and those in the
soft coal territory; also in the New

ARRESTED IN
PETERSBURG
Deputy Sheriff Garrison Hopes
To Have Suspect Lodged
in Marlboro Jail Soon

The arrest of H. D. jackson
in Petersburg, Va, yesterday,
is the latest development in the
10-year-old search for the muir
derer of Barney Mcbride, oil
land operator found slain in a
culvert near Meadows, Nd, in
August, 1922.
Meanwhile Temple Biggs, held
in the Marlboro Jail as accessory

heard the testimony of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Humphrey, of near
Congress Heights, Md, and Leo
Hazel, of Oakland, Md. They
said that Biggs had involved
Jackson.

son, of Prince Georges county,

that bell ringing was hard on

Airplanes Used in Farming

In an article entitled "The
Farmer Takes to the Air" in the
March number of Troce(, H. H.
Dunn tells Of the use Of airplanes
in agriculture.
Planes moving over cotton
fields drop clouds Of a fine pow
der that kills the boil weevil.
Swamps in Louisiana are pow
dered from the air with a mos
quito-killing mixture. In less
than three hours a pilot plants a
thousand or more Montana
acres in wheat--a job that calls
for two weeks work for four
men driving surface machines.
One Of the uses Of the airplane
is to drive herds Of horses into
a corral, two planes flying close
to the ground. one on each side
Of the herd. This has been done
on a large scale in Nevada. In
forest country avlators are en-
plOyed as fire patrols.
