F. R. MOVES TO
AVOID CUTS in
RAILWAY WAGE
Warns Country Not In
Condition To Be Disturb
ed By Controversy
By FREDERICK A. STORM
United Press Staff Correspondent

United fress StatI NorreSPo
WASHINGTON. Feb. 16 (UP)
that the national en-
Urgency still exists and that eco
nomic conditions are as yet I'M
stabilized, President Roosevelt
last night called on railway cap
ital and labor to agree to a SIX
months extension of the 10 per
cent railway pay cut from this
coming June.
President Roosevelt's views
were contained in a letter ad-
to the conference COM
mittee of managers representing
class one railroads and the rail-
way labor executives association.
II am confident that such an
extension" the president. wrote,
"would be of advantage to those
concerned and also to the
entire country"
The White House pronounce
ment came few hours after dis
patches from Chicago said that
the conference committee had
served notice of a Is per cent
paw reduction on all classes OF
union labor on and after July /,
1884 for a year.
Recalling that February 10 was
the date on which both parties
could, under the railway labor
act, indicate a desire to change
the basic rate of pay, the presi-
dent added in his letter, dated
Feb. IA. 49,
"The advent of February IS
makes it necessary again to give
consideration to this wage mat

national recovery has been made
since last June, and am sure
the goal will be reached. Never
theless, much remains to be &C

exists, and the country has not

LARUE HELD IN ROBBERY AND,KIDNAPING
ROOSEVELT WARNED AGAINST
ATTEMPT FOR CANCELLATION
OR REVISION OF WAR DEBTS
Even His Popularity One Authority States, Would Not
Carry This Issue In Congress; Passing Johnson
Bill Would Promote Negotiations

Client to wiz passage of any meas
Lure calling for cancellation or
eeven drastic revision downward of
the debts.
The state of the nations feel
|ings toward the war debts was
brought sharply to the fore in the
senate yesterday during debate
between Senator Robinson, Repn.,
Ind. and Majority Leader Robin
son of Arkansas. Robinson of In
diana sought to force considera-
.tion of his resolution calling upon
President Roosevelt to report
whether the administration had
made any agreements with debtor
nations on the question of pay
Iment.
In blocking consideration of the
motion. the Democratic Robinson
said:
7, "Public sentiment in nations
that owe war debts to this coun-
try is SO overwhelmingly opposed
to payment of these obligations,
that the governments dare not
pay. Public sentiment at home
would not approve cancellation or
revision of these obligations.
"The situation is reaching a
permanent deadlock and sometime
something will have to be done"
Democratic leaders express the
belief that final passage of the
johnson bill which will close the
American money market to war
debtors. would prove a powerful
stimulus in encouraging them to
reopen debt negotiations with this
government. The measure passed
the senate easily without record
vote and is awaiting action in the
house where passage is assured.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. (UP)
President Roosevelt has been
warned by his advisers that legis-
lation proposing cancellation OF
downward revision of war debts
would be overwhelmingly defeat
ed by congress. the United Press
learned last night.
AS a result of this advice. Mr..
Roosevelt was reported to have
abandoned, temporarily at least,
plans for a message to congress
dealing with the $1,000, 1000, 900
in war obligations owed this gov
eminent by foreign nations.
No information on the presi-
dents plans on this controversial
subject was Forthcoming from the
White House. It was said only
that Mr.. Roosevelt was not at
work now on war debt recommen-
dations and no conferences on
the matter with state department
authorities were in immediate
prospect. though recently it was
rumored in White House circles
that the president hoped for debt
revision soon.
The president, it was learned,
has been told by congressional
lieutenants that the temper of
the nation. as reflected by repre-
sentatives in both houses of con-
gress. definitely is opposed to any
extension of leniency to foreign
debtors at this time.
Even Mr.. Roosevelt's great
popularity, one authority told the
United Press, would not be suffi-

Who in the world is Bim?"
said I.
Benjamin Gump," said they.
And. 10 and behold, the thing
they were most interested in was
whether Benjamin Gump and his
lovely little sweetheart of the
comic strip were safely welded.
And there I was worrying about
the condition of the country.
I decided that as long as the
young people and voters had
such a sense of humor. the man
made troubles of our nation
would probably be solved in due
course and in spite of the politi.
clans, speculators and war pro.
moters.
And 10 line with the forego.
ing, I ran across the new book by
Arthur j. Burks, entitled,
Where Are My People?"
Burks was raised in the West
aud lives in the East. He has
written a simple straightforward
narrative. which is as unmistak
ably American as doughnuts and
apple pie. Through the history
of one family-the authors own
we see the virgin land trans
formed into profitable farms and
thriving towns in the big Bend"
country Of Washington.
The book is about real people
such as have been responsible
for. this nations growth fsom
the beginning. They have car
ried on throagh hard times and
good times and. in spite of every
brand of political experiment..
Would be statesmen and hard.
working citizens should read the
book to understand the real
forces that develop the country
and carry on to greater achieve
ments.
1t will take the conceit out of
politicians to realize the import
ance of the Gumps.
