it invites the foreign minister to init
ate negotiations for a definite solution
of the problem before the next pay
ment on December is, provided by the
existing Italio-American agreement

UNIONS TO IGNORE
RAIL PAY THREATS
Workers Do Not Believe
Roads Serious in Consid-
ering Further Cuts.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Spokesmen for
the million union workers on Americas 8
201 class railroads declared today
they would ignore the demands of their
employers for 22Ka per cent reduction
in wages to replace 10 per cent tempo
rary deduction" in effect at present
until November /.
Sentiments Of the employees were
expressed at a conference Of the Rail
way Labor Executives Association,
comprising 21 unions.
Many of the union leaders said the
railroads were not serious in the wage
cut demand.
The railroads, however, In demand.
ing the reduction yesterday, declared
themselves united 100 per cent In the
demand, and would make no conces-
Sions.
Alexander r. Whitney, president OF
the Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen
and chairman of the Labor Executives
Association, declared the unions would
not recognize the demands in any way,
not even 50 far as to attend the wage
conference requested by the roads 1or
July IL.
Declares Contract Ended.
"The present 10 per cent deduction,
to which it Is now suggested a l21s
per cent cut be added. expires at MID.
night, october ST." he said. AT that
time wages 20 back to a 100 per cent
basis under existing agreements, which
do not call for any conference on the
matter"
whitney said only few unions had
received notification Of the desired cut.
He indicated that If any formal con-
sideration would be given to the de-
mand. it would not be until all the
unions had been notified.
Reduction of wages now would DO
more to hinder recovery than any other
thing" he said. ANY industrial or
political leader will tell you that. How
ever. I believe that most OF the rail-
roads will refuse to break away from
President Roosevelt's program Of main
tanning wages"
Plan Industrial Cooperation.
Having decided no official action would
be taken on the wage matter, the union
leaders turned their attention to labor's
part in cooperating with Joseph B.
Eastman, co-ordinator Of the new
emergency railway act. A leader In the
discussion was Donald r. Richberg,
attorney for the association and recently
appointed assistant administrator OF
industrial control.
Whitney said he understood one part
of the railway bill provides that labor
should not be disturbed. He said that
might be taken to mean pay, number
and classification of employees could not
be changed.
Whitney did not elaborate on his
statement that wages automatically re-
verted to the 100 per cent basic scale
on November !.
The agreement providing for the 10
per cent reduction expires at that time,
but the railroads have maintained the
contract provides they might serve
notice Of a further reelection any time
after June is, which action they took
yesterday.

Other Judges Concur.
Judges Scot Wilson and James M

Bingham, who wrote, in part, that the

Within an hour after the decision
was handed down counsel for Craw-

The Circuit Court opinion read, in

WIDELY CRITICIZED.
Brought Impeachment in Hsuse sn
Complaint Of Smith.


Judge Lowells action In releasing
Crawford on . writ Of habeas corpus
was widely criticized and resulted, q
short time later, In his Impeachment
In the House by Representative Smith,
Democrat, Of Virginia.
In freeing Crawford, the jl1rist held
that even II the colored man were con-
fcted Of murder In Virginia, the
United States Supreme Court would re-
verse the conviction because colored
persons are not called for jury service
In that State.
The day after Judge Lowell an
nounced his decision, . resolution to
abolish the Federal judgeship held by
him was introduced in the House by
Representative Dies, Democrat, Of
Texas. Dies charged that the jurist's
refusal. to permit the extradition Of
Crawford, which came after Gov. Ely
Of Massachusetts, had given his ap-
proval, constituted - fragrant violation
Of his oath Of Office"
Moses for Impeachment.
It was shortly after this that Smith
moved for Impeachment, and the
House judiciary Committee began an
investigation Of Judge Lowell's conduct
in otlce. The jurist was defended, how
ever, by the Boston Bar Association,
which, In . resolution, declared He
should be free from attack for perform
ing his judicial duty honestly and In
accordance with his best judgment"
Crawford, 34-year-old ex-convict, was
charged with numbering Mrs. Ilsley and
Mrs. Buckner, her maid, on January
IS, 1882. The slayings occurred on the
Ilsley estate in Middleburg, Va, the A.
year society equestrtenne and her
65-year old employe being beaten to
death in small cottage on the 100-
acre tract.
Although q Nationwide search was
made for Crawford, the fugitive eluded
officers for year before he was ar
rested In Boston on q housebreaking
He at first confessed the crimes. then
changed his statement, maintaining
another man murdered the women and
that he was merely an accomplice.
Carried to Higher Court.
Following Judge Lowell's action, the
case was carried to the United States
Circuit Court Of Appeals by Assistant
Attorney General George B. Lowrie Of
Massachusetts,, and the tribunal was
called into extraordinary session on
May 23.
In Alexandria last Monday q colored
man was seated in the jury box Of
the Corporation Court for the first
time In the history Of the courts of
that city. Lucius Gaines, colored
porter, was named by the court to
a special grand jury after the already
chosen jury had been discharged fol-
lowing complaint made by Dr..
Charles H. Houston of Washington, q
member of the general counsel Of the
National Association for Advancement
of Colored People, that no colored per-
sons were serving on the jury which
heard cases in which three colored
persons were being tried for murder
manslaughter and assault.
