Described as Failure
The Canadian system of controlling

anti-prohibitioniStS as method
which the United States should fol-

two Canadian temperance workers
who addressed the convention.
Ira A. Pierce, secretary of the
Quebec League Against Alcoholism,
said that consumption of hard
liquor in Quebec has increased 3S
per cent in the past six years. The
increase for wine and beer was 1913

Pierce told the convention that
there is an overwhelming opinion

SNAGS STRUCK
IN Farley TO
CUT RAIL PAY
Optimism Is Discounted by
Officials Attitude on
Labor Requests.
BY JOHN b. MILLER
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Jan. 18-The stubborn
task of breathing life into twenty
billion dollar industry and better
ing the condition of its workers,
while cutting their pay, engaged
railroad capital and labor today.
Negotiations of nine railroad
presidents and twenty-one labor
executives proceeded slowly, as point
by point they considered the effect
of a 10 per cent wage slash, Sug-
gested to relieve the distressed in
dustry and provide stabilized work
for 100000 union employees.
Daniel Willard, president of the
Baltimore & Ohio, announced that,
pending outcome of the conference,
notice of a Is per cent wage cut.
due to take effect Jan. 81, would be
suspended.
The railroads also gave assurance
that no efforts to negotiate directly
with the individual unions would be
made until the general conference
has been concluded.
Attitude Held Favorable
Careful examination of the rail-
road attitude toward the union re-
quests for various improved en-
ployment conditions was expected
today.
Willard, in general terms, outlined
this attitude, characterized as gen
orally favorable" by David B. Rob-
ertson, chairman of the railway la
Dor executives.
In this connection, however, the
Chicago Tribune said today that it
had learned that while the reply
of the presidents was tentative, it
was considered generally unsatis-
factory by the union leaders.
The newspaper said the reply:
Refused the labor proposal for a
commission to study feasibility OF
a siX-hour day.
Gave no assurance OF increasing
employment.
Was indefinite regarding a guar
antee of minimum employment.
Refused to insure employment for
any period for temporary workers.
Double Bond Issue Wisdom
Doubted wisdom of asking con-
gress for a billion-dollar bond is
sue for grade crossing elimination.
Was unable to agree on measures
H. IN, AF
solidationS.
The presidents we're in agreement
with labor, according to the report,
on regulation of competing trans
port services, employment of job
bless railroad workers by bus, truck,
and other services controlled by
railroads, and establishment of
placement bureaus.
Labor leaders were inclined to
believe, it was reported, that the
executives we're employing a form
of strategy and had couched their
position in strong language in hope
of obtaining concessions from the
unions.
Conference Closely Guarded
Neither rail presidents nor union
leaders would comment upon the
reported reply.
Robertson asserted he believed
the railroads were doing their best
lin a practical way" to meet the
union demands for a six-hour day,
guarantee of minimum employment,
protection of employees in proposed
consultations, and centralized
placement bureau.
All participants in the conference
guarded closely the specific acts of
the delegates, sitting about a long
table in the grand ballroom of the
Palmer house. Guards have been
placed at all doors, to insure pri-
vacy.
