|MEN TO ASK WORK
| PLAN BY RAIL- WAYS
Labor Chiefs Think Necessary
Maintenance Would Quicken
Prosperity.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 49, Railway
labor chiefs today said they believed re-
sumption of necessary maintenance
work by the Nations railroads would
quicken the return of prosperity.
The labor leaders, making last-minute
plans for tomorrow's parley on wage
cuts and unemployment relief with
heads of the railroads, asserted they
would request the carriers to begin such
work at once.
Should the railroads agree, spokes-
men said, the wheels of many indus
tries would begin moving and the car
riers themselves would benefit through
increased freight tonnage, because
many supplies would be necessary to
repair equipment and right of ways.
Steady Work Objective.
They announced they also would ask
assurance Of steady employment for
one year for 2,225,000 necessary"
workers, claiming this would remove
fear Of joblessness, restore confidence
and thereby release $4,000, 100000 in
purchasing power now held back by un-
certainty.
The union men indicated during a
series of preliminary conferences this
week they would be willing to acceCt
the 10 per cent wage cut proposed by
the railroads if an estimated $3.50 000,-
900 obtained in that manner would be
used to start the maintenance work and
relieve unemployment distress among
the rail workers.
The conference tomorrow will be be-
tween nine committeeman representing
more than 200 class A railroads and 81
chairmen of various labor crafts, with
probably other labor subchairmen as
an audience.
Both the rail men and the union lead
ers have been authorized by their groups
to negotiate the problems of wage cuts
and unemployment to conclusion
and the meeting is to be the first of its
kind in more than half century OF
railway labor history.
2,O00, 200 Behind Move.
The labor chiefs have been given un-
limited power by nearly 100000 work
ers, represented by some 1,500 general
chairmen.
In addition to requesting the rail-
roads to stabilize employment and re-
lieve jobleSsness, the labor chiefs de-
clared they would also ask for other
concessions, principally that the car
riers agree to the principle Of six
hour day They contended this would
restore work to thousands eliminated
by competition of the machine age.
The joint parley is expected to last
a week or more. What proposals the
railroads will make to labor have not
been disclosed.

A charge the Justice Department has
let Secretary Mellon run roughshod"
over Federal laws was made before the
House Judiciary Committee today by
Representative Patman, Texas, Demo-
crat, but was stricken out of the record
at the suggestion of Chairman Summers.
Patman was testifying on his resolu-
ton seeking impeachment Of the vet
eran Treasury head for high crimes
and nlisdemeanors" Representative
Kitchener, Michigan, Republican, asked
at one point why he had not taken his
charges to the Justice Department.
The Texan replied that since the de-
nartnent "has let him run roughshod
over law, as I believe, what reason
would 7 have to expect it would make
a criminal prosecution"
Expects to Show Malfeasance.
Another Democrat, Representative
Oliver of New York, requested tnat tne
statement be stricken from the recoro.
Patman said he expected 70 sno"

Representative Dyer, Republican,

inferences of corruption without pre-
senting such proof.
Patman was asked whether ne IN
tended to charge corruption, fraud or
malfeasance in ofhce."

lege he has been directly concerned IN
carving on business, but / believe
can prove that he has directly con-
cerned himself In carrying on that
business"
He seeks Melons impeachment on
the ground he has violated this statute.
Mellon Represented.
Only few spectators appeared IN
the big committee room as the group
began its consideration of the charges.
The man Patman is seeking to impeach
was before the House Ways and Means
Committee little way down the cor
ridor on the same floor to argue 1or
the adoption of the administrators tax
increase program.
Two representatives Of Mellon, how
ever. were before the Judiciary Com
mittee to represent him. One was
Alexander w. Gregg. former solicitor
of the Treasury Internal Revenue
Bureau; the other was D. D. Shepard,
an attorney from Pittsburgh, Melons
home.
Patman first suggested that Gregg
open the testimony.
1T is my understanding that repre-
sentatives of Secretary Mellon have
interposed what in law would be
known as a demurrer" the Texan said
"It would seem to me that the burden
of proof rests on those demurring."
Representative Dyer OF Missouri, rank
ing Republican on the committee, in
terposed it was Patman's duty to make
a prtma facie case on his charges and
Chairman Summers ordered Patman to
proceed.
Mellon Letter Read.
Patman read a letter he said was
written in 1929 by Mellon to Senator
Reed. Pennsylvania, Republican, dur

he owned stock in the Aluminium Co.

LAVAL MAY FORM
FRENCH CABINET
Says He Will Accept if Asked.
Doumer Confers With
o.
Leaders.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 13.-President Paul
Doumer began series OF consultations
with political leaders this morning
which was expected to result, by night,
In his selection Of someone, probably
Premier Laval, to form new French
cabinet.
The procedure was made necessary
by the resignation Of the Laval cabinet
last night after radical Socialist Depu-
ties had refused the Premier's offer to
name Edouard Herriot, former premier
and radical leader, foreign minister
In place of Aristide BRAND.
The presidents of the Chamber OF
Deputies and the Senate were the flrst
to be called for conferences with PreSi-
dent Doumer this morning.
Laval Will Accept.
NJ Herriot, after a conference with
the president said the latter will ask
Premier Laval to form new cabinet
and that the premier himself will take
the post of foreign minister. He said
he thought the cabinet crisis would
be of short duration. o..
Premier Laval said today that If
President Doumer asked him to form
new government he would accept and
probably would be able to get together
a new ministry before the night was
over.
Although the prospect for Joseph
Paul -Boncour, Socialist and known as
"the modern RobespierTe," continued
obscure, 1t was made known that ne
will be one of Frances principal dele
gates to the Disarmament Conference.
See Early Announcement.
Experienced observers of French
politics predicted that a new cabinet,
much like the one which resigned yes
terday would be announced tonight be-
cause of the pressing Importance OF the
Reparations Conference at Lausanne
and the Disarmament Conference at
Geneva, both little more than two
weeks away.
The political editor of the newspaper
L'Oeuvre, however, said 1t IS not i'm
possible President Doumer may insist
on a cabinet leaning more to the Lett,
in which case Paul-Boncour, ardent
defender OF the French policy OF Sc
curity, was mentioned as a possible
successor to Premier Laval, in case the
latter proved unable to marshal sup
port.
In case the cabinet should undergo
little change, however, the names of
former Premiers Andre Tardieu and
Paul Painleve were mentioned for the
post of minister of war and either

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BkOWN.
Well informed diplomats in Wash
ington spiked today the report of an
alleged agreement between the French
and the British government regarding
the debts and reparations problem,
whereby conditional payments should
be Cancelled altogether while the United
States should receive portion of the
unconditional payments as compensa-
ton for the cancellation of allied debts.
No such agreement, it was authorita-
lively stated, has been reached; neither
is there the slightest possibility Of
reaching such q compromise or any
compromise of any kind before the
Lausanne meeting.
On account of the cabinet crisis in
France, no conversations between that
country and the governments of other
countries are possible because the fu-
ture attitude of France on the repara-
tions question depends largely on what
kind of cabinet that country is 60
ing to have.
Cabinet to Affect Policy.
Should former Premier Laval form
government with a majority OF lts
members from the Right, the policy OF
France will continue to be an adamant
one; should M. Laval be compelled 10
give up the idea of forming cabinet,
and should either Edouard Hertott or
Paul Boncour be intruSted with the
formation of a cabinet with the sup
port of the Left, the policy OF france
is likely to be more conciliatory toward
Germany. 1t is understood, however,
that whatever may happen, the Frencn
government will insist on receiving
from Germany at least the amounts II
is paying at present to the American
and British governments for war depts.
There seems to be more optlmlstlc
feeling in official circles this morning
regarding the outcome OF the Lausanne
Conference. The fact that the French
have agreed to continue to contribute
their share in the German short term
loan of s100,000,000 is interpreted mere
as a significant fact and an indication
that the French government does not
want to push things to the extreme.
The refusal of the French TO ION
the other nations in extending the snorI
term credits granted Germany last tal
was due to the fact that Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening has been reportea
as having served notice on the BRUSH
