RAIL WAY LABOR
is FACED WITH
NEW WAGE CUT
Conference Called in N. Y.
May Deal Second Blow
to Unions.

By Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Rail-
way labor, which may take another
wsllop as the result of the new
wage reduction conference called in
New York, is in worse condition
than a year ago, interstate COM
merce commission statistics showed
today.
Class One carriers, according to
the last I. C. G. report, had 1881. :
596 employees in mid-May. a de-
crease of 255,735, or 1912 per cent,
under a year ago. Their compensa-
ton totalled $130,856,07I in MAY. as
against s1s6,713,283 in MAY. 1881.
a decrease of $55. 857 PIP, or 29. go per
cent.
The last wage cut went into effect
IN February, and while many then
believed the reduction might result

ployment of more men, the COM
missions figures show that the

year, except for one month. The
May total marks a low for the last
twelve months.
With exception of maintenance
men, every class of railroad en-
ployes was reduced in May as COM
pared with April, and the mainte-
nance of way total was far below
that of May year ago.
Railway executives also are con-
ferring concerning proposed Dor
rowings from the Reconstruction
finance corporation for repair work.
Maintenance brotherhoods are anx-
ious for such loans to be made, ar
guing that railway equipment is in
poor repair and that any reasonable
traffic increase could not be handled
with present equipment.
They demand, however, if the
r. F. C. makes such loans, that it
require railroads to have the re-
pair work done in their shops, in
stead of farming" it out to shops
employing non-brotherhood workers.
Railway labor may receive an
other shock as the result Of the

the youth, whose life he is accused
of taking in return for losing Mrs.
Keith-Miller, killed himself. Mrs.
Keith Miller, Lancaster's flying
partner for five years, said on the
stand that he committed suicide.
Thursday the defense produced
witnesses in an effort to prove con-
clusively that Clarke died by his
own hand; a report of medical
committee appointed to disinter the
body sometime after the killing re-
ported finding powder marks on the
skull.
Numerous love letters between
Clarke and various women were
read into the court record. Previ-
Gus testimony has revealed Clarke's
relations with Peggy Brown, and

fed that Clarke took an apartment

Appeals Court UphoIds Government

Days of the World war, when
prof1teering was a law violation
prosecuted by the government, were
recalled today, when the federal

upheld the judgment of the local
court in a wool profiteering case.
The court held that the judg-

against Kraus g. Apfelbaum, FIT.
Wayne, for obtaining excessive
profits on wool in 1913 would stand.
The government sought to collect
$24,399. Suit was filed in 1923 for
the offense, alleged to have been
committed in 1918. The 81 judg-
ment was a result of a trial in 1881.
The government had appealed the
case.

COLLAPSE OF
RAIL WAY WAGE
FARLEY LOOMS
Managers of Lines Demand
Workers Lay All Cards
on Table.
BY RAY BLACK
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 17-Breakup OF
the railway wage conference in
failure threatened today as union
spokesman answered an ultimatum
of rail managers demanding that
the workers lay all their cards on
the table.
Five days of negotiation took the
conference in an argumentative
circle until it was back where it
started. Expense mounted, with
rental Of the Palmer House grand
ballroom and other salons and the
hotel expenses of the $500 general
union chairmen and the mine rail
managers as items.
Alexander F. Whitney. one-time
news butcher who worked up to the
presidency of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen, had the task
of replying today to the operators
ultimatum. That ultimatum was
read by w. F. Thereof, who start
ed his career as a section hand.
Whitney is chairman of the railway
labor executives committee and
Thiehof Of the managers commit
tee.
Demands Straight Answers
Thiehoff declared I'VE can not
afford longer to be met with the
statement (by labor that you are
without authority to deal with this,
that or the other thing. If this ne
gotiation is to continue in good
faith, it is imperative that you
answer five questions"
The five questions, which delved
at the heart of differences between
the opposing groups, asked the ex-
tent of the union leaders authority
to negotiate extensions of the pres
ent 10 per cent wage deduction
agreement which expires next Jan.
81, and to negotiate any change in
the basic wage rate.
Thiehoff reviewed the rail lines
proposal of an extension for six
months, with the understanding
that the basic wage question could
be reopened thereafter, and con-
trasted it with the unions proposal
Of an extension of a year, during
which time no move to change the
basic pay could be initiated.
Criticises Union Hand
He criticised the union PROPOSE
ton on the grounds it would tie the
hands of the railroad for at least a
year in matters of wages and work.
ing conditions.
He also took exception to provi-
sion that any notice of further ex-
tension of the deduction agree
ment served by the railroads would
have to be by all of the participant
ing lines. That clause, he said au-
tomatically would deprive the lines
of individual action.
The railroads have sought linn
tied extension of the deduction
agreement, after which time they
could begin action for a further pay
cut. The workers have sought a
longer period to safeguard their
basic wage as long as possible.
