said, he will then be ready to qualify

BANKERS DECLINE COMMENT.
Financial Houses Have Nothing to Say
On Deferring Wage Problem.

VII wage IEOUhc"
NEW YORK. September 81 LP,.-
Leading railroad bankers declined to
comment for publication on the Wash
ington report yesterday that President
Hoover had requested railway labor and
railway managements to discontinue
discussion of wage reductions until the
end of the year.
Informally. it was said railroad ex-
ecutives were reluctant to open the wage
question, buy felt that they should take
such action because of the time element.
A period OF several months might elapse,
it was pointed out. before any solution
could be reached, and the executives de-
sired to have the question settled before
the existing wage agreements expire.
The present agreements. reached last
Spring, instituted 10 per cent reduc-
ton under basic wage scales in effect in
1881 and run until February !, 1888.
The arrangements Of the roads had
indicated their intention to ask for a
further reduction. amounting to 10 per
cent which would bring the present
wage rate to a point 20 per cent below
the 1881 level.
Executives in the transportation in
dustry have contended that further op-
Grating economies are mandatory If the
railroads ere to operate on a profitable
basis Current traffic statistics show
ing an average of about $4,000 to 590,
600 cars loaded weekly, are running ap-
proximately one-half the 19291930
levels. Expenses have been slashed
drastically. but majority of the roads
have reported heavy losses.

SETTLEMENT PLAN ADVANCED.
Five-Point Program Proposed in Georgia
Milk War.

ATLANTA, Ga, September 81 tP).-
A f1ve-point plan for settlement OF the
Georgia milk price war was advanced
today with approval of Atlanta milk
distributors, but 1t drew prompt dis
approval from an official Of the pro-
ducers' organization. who said it would
put the producers in the hands Of the
distributors"
The plan. which would provide for
permanent commission for settlement
of present and future disputes between
dairymen and distributing plants, was
made public by publicity agent for
the distributors. who said 1t was sug-
gested by a prominent producer" whose
name he was not at liberty to divulge.
The distributors. the publicity man
said, approve the plan "in its entirety
Sent by Dairy Head.
H. H. Hardin, vice president Of the
Georgia Milk Producers Confederation.
Inc, which recently called holiday
on milk shipments to Atlanta from 20
counties. said the plan was sent to
him by B. B. George. head Of Pedigree
Diaries. large distributing pant.
1T is not acceptable to the pro-
ducers." Hardin said, because 1t would
give the distributors four men on the
commission and the producers two.
Such an arrangement would put the
producers in the hands OF the distrib-
utors from here on out"
He said one paragraph in particular
is not acceptable. 1t speclfles tnat
picketing of roads and the use OF
armed conveys for milk trucks oe STOP
ped and that milk be shipped TO Az,
lanta as it was prior to the so-calleo
strike"
Hardin interpreted that as implying
the confederation has sponsored the
picketing of roads, which he denied.
ALSO we feel that there should be
an agreement now as to the price Tor
milk, before the holiday on shipments
to Atlanta is ended" he said. we
would be willing to set temporary
price arrangement until permanent
agreement on the price paid for milk
should be reached"
The five-point plan would create
commission of six members vested Win
the duty of discussing and settling all
issues that might arise between pro-
ducers and distributors from time to
time. Three members would be Sc
lected BY the distributors and three by
the producers, with provisions that two
of the producers representatives De Pe
independent producers not animated
with the confederation. All distributors,
all producers in the confederation and
also non-members would be bound by
the commissions decisions.
Harding said the arrangement would
give the distributors four men on the
commission and the producers two,
since some independent producer who
Is friendly to the distributors could be
chosen for the place ON the proposed
board"

Prot. Behrle declared his beliefs be-
fore the National Association of Secur-
itie; Commissioners meeting here.
The time may soon come, Prof.

allowed to be sold in any State, 1t will

the bond Is needed in the world; vheth-
er there arc not already more plants Of
