RAIL MEN BALK
At NEW CUTS

CINCINNATI, Nov. % G.N.S0.
The Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen threw down a warning
to employers today that further
wage cuts will not be accepted.
A. F.. Whitney, of Cleveland,
president of the brotherhood, told
the annual convention of the Am
erican Federation of Labor he is
convinced of the "soundness" Of
American railroads and described
all contradictory information as
"wage-cutting propaganda"
The depression, he charged,
was caused by increasing pri-
vate profits and a determined
resistance to any equitable di-
vision of profits resulting from
modern efficiency"
To their great sorrow the rail-
road unions have learned the
"absurdity" of the contention that
wage reductions will help business,
Whitney said.

Roosevelt 7
FOR SIMPLE
INAUGURAL
Objects to Ball, However, and
Asks Other Festivities
Be Curtailed

JeffersoniaR simplicity will
be the keynote of the inaugu-
ration of Franklin D. Roose-
velt as President Of the United
States next March 4, and there
will be no great inaugural
ball such as had been sug-
gested.
The President-elect discussed
plans for the inaugural today at
the Mayflower Hotel.
Those attending the conference
were Rear Admiral Cary L. Gray-
son, U. S. NJ, retired, chairman OF
the inaugural committee; Chair
man James A. Farley, Of the
Democratic national committee;
John F. Costello, national COM
mitteeman for the District, and
John B. Colpoys, chairman Of the
District Democratic central COM
mittee.
Wants No BOImbaSt
After the conference it was
learned that the President-elect
does not want any ostentation
about his inaugural, but wants it
marked with the utmost simple
ity.
While the subject of the in
augural ball was not directly
preached at the conference, Demo
cratic leaders already have re-
ceived information that Governor
Roosevelt, because of the eco
nomic condition of the country,
would veto such an event.
The President,elect, however,
does not object to a parade, pro-
vided the number of participants
is held down to a minimum, It
was stated.
Approves GraysOn
One of Mr.. Roosevelt's first
acts today was to approve the
local committees recommends
ton of Admiral GraySon as in
augural chairman.
Admiral GraySon, while attend
ing the conference where inaugu.
raj plans were discussed. did not
accept the post until after an
other conference with Governor
Roosevelt shortly before noon.

tions were such that he did not

PLAN
F. TO PREVENT
P|CKET|NG
Young Reds to Be Permitted
to Send Delegation to
Hoover Tomorrow

District police and Commu-
mist officials alike today are
putting the finishing touches
on plans for the proposed
children''s demonstration to-
morrow at the White House
when a group of 100 children
will attempt to pr ssent a list
of demands to President
Hoover.
The police, on one hand, assert
that they will permit no demon
tration whatever, while the Com
munists, on the other, are equally
certain that their plans will be
carried out according to schedule.
Major Ernest w. Brown, super
1I1tendent Of police, said no effort
would be made to interfere with
the children and their adult
escorts unless they attempted to
parade, picket, or in some other
way violate the police regulations.
WIN Stop Demonstration
He indicated he would detail a
number of police to special duty
in the vicinity of the White House,
and, in the event of any attempt
at demonstration, would follow
the method used when John Pace
and his cleft wing" attempted to
picket the Executive Mansion.
On that occasion police diverted
all traffic within two blocks of
the White House, permitting no
one to pass. However, this meas
ure will not be used, Major Brown
said, unless there is some indica-
ton Of a demonstration.
He also indicated the regulation
against parading without a per-
NIT might be invoked in case the
children attempted to march to
the White House in group.
Leon Kaplan, of the central bu-
reau of the Young Pioneers of
America. organization of youthful
Communists; said the children
would not attempt to picket the
White House, but would select a
delegation to present their de-
mands to the President.
To Hold Conference
Kaplan, whose group is spon-
Soring the childrenS visit to the
Capital, said a conference on
child welfare will be held tomor-
row at 8 p. m. in Plasterers Hall.
The Boy and Girl Scouts, the
Boys Clubs of washington and
Georgetown, the Red Cross, the
Salvation Army. and similar or
ganizations, have been invited to
send representatives to this con-
ference, Kaplan said.
At local headquarters of the
National Hunger March a tele-
gram was received today inform
ing them that James Jones, presi-
dent of the city commission of
Birmingham, Ala. had announced
the New Orleans contingent of
delegates to the hunger march
would not be permitted to remain
over night in that city.

Cheer for U. S. Employees in
President-EIeCt's ParIeyS;
Urges Early Beer

From persons close to Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt, it was
learned today that when he
takes office next March he
does not intend to engage in
a policy Of wholesale dis
missals" in the Government
service, a consequence feared
by thousands of Government
workers in Washington.
The President-elect was not to
be directly quoted, but those in
his confidence said he was not a
believer in the old Jacksonian
theory that "to the victors belong
the spoils."
He was to leave for Warm
Springs, Ca, at 2 p. m. today for
a two weeks rest without having
made any commitments relative
to war debts.
In addition. he has assured
Congressional leaLers he has no
intention of attempting to dictate
to the forthcoming short session
of Congress.
Set For Extra Session
- From sources ca Sc to Governor
Roosevelt. it was learned. he has
given the leaders of his party to
understand that if the budget is
not balanced and a beer bill is
not passed at the Name duck ses-
sion, he stands ready to call a
special session Immediately after
he is inaugurated On March 4.
Before he leaves WASHINGTON,
Mr.. Roosevelt will have a final.
conference with Speaker John N.
Garner, Vice PreSident-elect, and
other leaders of his party. who
were scheduled to 70 to the White
House during the morning to dis
cuSS the dekt problem with Presi-
dent Hoover.
Roosevelt Unswerved
Governor Roosevelt came to
the National Capital determined
he would not share responsibility
with the present Administration
or the present Congress for any
decision regarding international
debts and he has not deviated
from that course, his close aSso-
ciates revealed.
The President-elect is under.
stood to have told the leaders of
his party that their intention of
presenting a united front in Con.
greSs against any revision of
debts or postponement of the
payment due December Is meets
with his approval.
Governor Roosevelt has been
an extremely busy man since he
arrived here at $3.50 o'clock yes

dent Hoover's train at Palisade,

his story of the attempted "dy-
namiting" of the Presidential spe-
cial was =, hoax.
Dan O'Co nell, chief special
agent. declared he had obtained
a confession from Fish.
AS the presidential train sped
westward toward the Pacific
Coast, Fish, according to O'Con-
nell's report, saw a chance to
achieve notoriety after he had
fallen and accidentally discharged
his gun, wounding himself in the
finger.
Fish ripped his clothing, took
some dynamite sticks from an
abandoned mine nearby, laid the
explosives along the right of way,
and then halted the train when
it approached the bridge he was
guarding, O'Connell said.
Fish, after tagging the pilot
engine preceding the presidential
train, told a wild story of being
shot and stabbed by two men
who tried to blow up the bridge.
Fish was discharged. He had
been with the company IL years.

By GEORGE R. HOLMES

President Hoover asked the
leaders of Congress today to-
recreate the War Debt Fund.
ing Commission so it could
review and revise-downward
the existing European debt
agreements.
They refused to agree to any
such program.
Both Republican and Demo.
cratic leaders-there were Q
dozen of them at the White
House-took the position that to
re-create the commission at this
time would constitute an open
invitation to every European
debtor to petition for reduction
Of debts.
Congress Study Urged
And in view of the enormous
deficit in the Treasury, they did
not believe such a course was
justified in fairness to the Amer
ican taxpayer.
Mr.. Hoover suggested then that
if Congress would not revive that
commission, it appoint instead q
joint committee of Senate and
House to hear what alternative
proposals the debtor countries
are prepared to make. There was
considerable discussion over this
point, but in the end nothing
was decided.
To set up such committee,
some of the conferees thought,
would be merely recreating the
commission under another name.
No Agreement
Senator Watson of Indiana,
Republican leader of the Senate,
as he left the White House said:
1--WE agreed on nothing"
Said Senator Pat Harrison CD
of Mississippi, who will head the
Senate Finance Committee in the
next Senate:
1--WE will not recreate the COM
mission and we will not revise
the settlements"
To these statements was added
that Of Representative Smell Of
New York, Republican leader Of
the House:
"In my opinion, a majority Of
both houses Of Congress are un-
alterably opposed to any change
in the existing debt agreements"
Representative Henry T. Rainey
Of Illinois, Democratic leader Of
the House, echoed the same senti-
ment.
Farley Two Hours
The conference of the President
and the Congressional leaders
lasted almost two hours.
Mr.. Hoover laid before them, as
he laid before PresidentElect
Roosevelt last night, what was de-
scribed as confidential informa.
tion concerning the capacity Of
some of the debtors to pay, par.
