ROADS AND UNIONS
TO PARLEY ON CUT
Conference at Chicago Dec.

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The next major negotiation in the
troubled railroad situation involves a
further reduction in wages, and will
come at conference between execu-
tives and labor officers In Chicago, De-
cember IL
This meeting was arranged after the
original request by rail officials was met
by sharp refusal On the part of the
brotherhoods to entertain any such
proposal The present wage-cut agree
ment expires in February.
The railroad executives, Washington
officials understand. will base their
argument on the premise that rail work.
erS are receiving a higher scale than
other industries. that they can lend
their efforts to business recovery by
accepting further cut, and thus main
tain the carrier structure without i'm
pairment.
Further, the executives will seek to
prove, it is reported, that wages in COAL
steel end other basic industries justi-
fy their insistence that rail pay Is too
high under present conditions. partic-
ularly when consideration is given to
the fact that but 6 Of the $50 class
carriers were able to earn fixed charges
during the first six months OF this year.
Leading railroads estimate wage re-
duction Of is per cent would effect
savings of more than $4,000 900 a
yeav to the carriers on the basis Of
present rail employment.
