With Possible Adjustment
Because of Opposition.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, Irish Free State, August
15.-Steps to curb the power of the
Free State Senate, and possibly to do
away with the upper chamber entirely,
are being contemplated by the De
Valera government, it was revealed yes
terday.
The Senate has lost standing with
the administration because it has forced
delay in the governments attempt to
eliminate the oath of allegiance to the
British crown and has opposed other
De Valera measures.
Defense Minister Frank Aiken, speak
ing yesterday at Castlepollard, referred
to the holding up of the oath bill and
said the Government party soon would
ask the people to deal with the Senate
in way to prevent it from barring the
road to national independence.
Gerald Boland, President De Valera S
parliamentary secretary, declared in a
speech at Castlereagh that nobody had
any use for the Senate, and if 1t con-
tinued holding up bills, a measure to
abolish it would be introduced

NEW SLASH LOOMS
FOR RAIL WORKERS.
Executives Called to Chicago
SesSion-ACtion Held
Certain.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 15.-Further
wage cuts and drastic economies are
to be considered by the country's most
important railway executives at a meet
ing expected to be held in Chicago
this week
Presidents of the principal Eastern
carriers met in New York last week
and. although no formal statement was
issued. it was understood the pay roll
question was threshed out and the de-
Cision tentatively reached that employees
should be asked to take another reduc
ton when the present labor agreement
expires February l next.
AS all the railroads are parties to
the existing wage pact. the Eastern
presidents decided to call general
meeting with the officials of South
eastern and Western groups at Chicago
to settle the matter.
Relief Only Temporary.
While some hopes are held for i'm
proved traffic returns by Fall or Win
ter, most of the carriers are in the
condition of not knowing where the
next meal is coming from" The Re-
construction Finance Corporation al
ready has provided huge funds to stave
off interest defaults by many roads and
numerous applications for further loans
are now pending. Rail officials claim
not only must they again reduce wages
and salaries, but that all other operat-
ing costs must be cut to the bone.
Just what further wage reduction
employees will be asked to take has not
vet been determined. Twenty-one
unions voluntarily" accepted 10 per
cent deduction from standard rates
about six months ago. Last May, the
latest month on which wage statistics
are available, the average compensation
per employe was around 1872 per cent
less than year ago.
While the organized railway crafts
may be asked again to sacrifice per-
centage of their earnings, it is reported
the higher salaried brackets of the
unorganized employees may suffer the
most. 1t is said the unions plan to use
the Interstate Commerce Commissions
report on the big salaries paid high
officials of the railroads as an argument
against further reduction of their own
wages.
Arbitration Provided.
When carriers decide on a wage cut,
the procedure usually is to summon a
Joint meeting of railway and union
officials. If no agreement is reached
at that meeting, the next step is, under
the law, for the roads to inform the
labor organizations of the proposed cut
in a formal notice of the proposed
reduction Within 10 days of the
issuance of this notice, another confer
ence of the two parties must be called.
In case officials and workers again
fail to agree, the Federal Board of
Meditation may offer its services. If
this fails, arbitration may then be
resorted to and. as a final resort. the
President of the United States is
empowered to create a special board of
inquiry, which must report its findings
to him within 80 days. During the in
term, however, any overt act Is for
hidden either side
The final verdict is left to public
opinion, which is supposed to be based
on the report of the Presidents COM
mission.
