RA|LWAYSASK
EXTENSION OF
WAGE SLASH
Six Month Continuation of
Present Scale Sought
by Carriers.
LABOR DEFERS VERDICT
Unions Go Into Conference
to Find Out Reaction
of Members.
BgUnited Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-The ma
tons railroads today threw down to
thee unions proposal for six
months extension of the present
temporary 10 per cent wage reduc-
ton, under conditions which would
open the basic wage scale to COM
plete reconsideration unless the tenn
porary reduction is made perma-
nent.
The proposal was. in effect, for a
"standstill agreement until July l,
/ 1888, when the railway labor act
could be invoked, without advance
notice, to begin negotiations for a
new wage scale.
In. view of railroad labor's unqual-
flied opposition to any indefinite ex-
tension of the 10 per cent wage re-
duction, the proposal resolves itself
into a plea for reopening the entire
pay question on July l. or as soon
thereafter as conference could be
convened.
Leaders withhold Comment
Not entirely a surprise to the
1900 railroad labor chieftains as
sembled with seven representatives
of the railways, the reading of the
latters four-page prepared state
ment was followed by adjournment
until 10 a. m. Thursday.
Neither Alexander F. Whitney,
! chairman of the labor groups, nor
othre union leaders would comment
on the railroads proposal until
further study of it.
From authoritative sources. how
ever, it was learned that the unions
reaction likely would be much more
favorable to the siv-month extern
sion plan, since it gives a breathing
spell before basic wage rates can be
threatened.
And, by that time, every union
man hopes, revival of business will
obviate that danger through in
creased rail revenues.
In the meantime, the unions go
INTO separate meetings to crystalline
their reaction. The proposed six

1t would mean also the prospect
of possibly having to combat de-
mands by railroads for an even
greater reduction in the wage scale
at the expiration of the extension.
The railroads statement was a
recession from their original pro-
posal that the temporary reduc-
ton be continued indefinitely This
the unions had rejected, insisting
upon a stipulated term.
Labors stand, expressed in sharp.
punching words by Whitney before
the meeting today, is:
I'VE predicted last year that a
wage slash would not help the rail-
roads. Now, with millions out of
work, they want to start another
vicious cycle of wage slashing. IN
dustry is not going to recover until
wage cutting is stopped and the
workers are put back to work at
! fair wages.

thru the many communities in the

Through the proceeds of our

"The Magnificent Obsession" by
Lloyd G. Douglas is a pleasing
antidote against too much stark

the story of a young man con-
trolled by a great ideal. The

his personality investments" in
the way of secret philanthropies,
as advocated by DIR. Hudson's
formula, miraculously succeeds,
and makes a famous surgical in
vention with which he is able to
save the life of the woamn he
loves.
''The Happy Prisoner" by Lor-
ma Rea is an exquisite study of a
deaf girl, happy; cured, and mis-
cradle because of the disillusion
made when people speak; then
deaf again, and happy in the pris-
on of her deafness. The story is
one which, for all its lightness and
charm, is far-reaching in its impli-
cations and distinctive in style.

The Farmers Mutual Fire In

business in the three counties OF
Sheridan, Roosevelt and Daniels,
held its annual meeting at Dagmar
on Thursday, June 80. A very
large crowd was in attendance,
many members of the company
coming from the adjoining coun-
ties. Lunch was generously served
all afternoon by the organization
in the Dagmar store while the
meeting was held in the hall up
stairs.
In the annual report by sec

seen that the company was still
doing a satisfactory business even
in these hard times. There is 49,

among the 1854 policy holders. OF
this number of members only some
200 are slightly in arrears which
is not so bad as it might be in
these unusually depressed finan-
cial times we are passing thru.
The 1879 policies now in force av-
erage $2400 each, 80 new policies
: being added last year averaging
$1700 each which shows a safe and
conservative plan of business IL
being pursued. There were o3
fire losses the past year and $12,-
44O has been paid out with two
losses still pending settlement. A
healthy balance on hand of &c.

S. money orders, etc.
At this meeting a number OF
changes in the bylaws were made
which will conform to the Mon

of Directors was also held, nearly
all being reelected. The officers

be any money levied by Sheridan

such a lot of money. We still

1t is remarkable how many good
