Rail Heads Stand Pat on
Refusal of Union Offer
Conference Near Deadlock, Al
though Both Sides Still
Profess Some Hope

Chicago, Jan. 30.-(P)-The rail-
road presidents stood pat Saturday
on their rejection OF compromise
plans offered by the 20 railway
brotherhoods at their joint wage con-
ference.
With only passing reference to Ia
boris counter proposals, Daniel Will
lard, spokesman for the carriers
turned back to a reiteration of the
fundamental demand that union en-
ployes accept 10 per cent deduction
from their pay checks for year.
The conference seemed to be near
a deadlock, although each side pro-
fessed to hold hope for an eventual
settlement of the problems of wages
and unemployment.
For more than two weeks the nego-
tiations had progressed until Friday
the nine railway presidents fatty re-
fused labor's four compromise plans
basic among them stipulation that
If q years wage cut is agreed upon
there must be no further discussion
Of reductions for another year.
At the petition of the union del
egates the presidents reconsidered
Saturday, but returned to the joint
conference only to restate the need
for q 10 per cent wage reduction to
save the railways financially and
make q step toward general pros
perity.
Said Willard for the carriers: "A
flat 10 per cent deduction is essential
to railway finances"
Said David B. Robertson for the
brotherhoods: Something must be
done for the unemployed railroad
workers who are in need. We feel
that our offer to accept a 6 IL per
cent cut outright. and deduct another 3
IL per cent for direct relief of fur
Laughed employees and for additional
employment Is not unfair"
Robertson said that I'VE both made
another attempt to change the point
Of view OF each other"
