RAIL PAY CUT,
STRIKE, WANE
ACCESSIBILITY
Roads Promised New Deal
Support for Broad
Federal Aid

WASHINGTON, Nov. l. CUP
The possibilities of nationwide
railroad strike today diminished
as it became apparent that rail
executives would abandon de-
mands for a Is per cent wage cut
in return for administration sup
port of broad railroad aid leglsla-
ton. !,
Management leaders ru $ h e q
plans for settling finally their con-
troversy with 100000 workers.
Presidents of l39 class l railroads
were summoned to special meet
ing in Chicago Friday to decide
whether to abandon the pay cut
fight.
1t was said reliably that the
carriers will not press their de-
mands when they meet in Chicago
Friday to decide whether to with
draw their request for voluntary
acceptance of the wage cut.
Disclosure of the rail manage
ment's probable action came after
President John J. Pelley of the
Association of American Rail-
roads, conferred with Mr., Roose-
welt, who pledged his support to
q constructive rail rehabilitation
program at the next congress.
Several factors were said to
have brought about the carriers
decision. First is the firm stand
taken by 100000 rail workers who
threaten to strike if the proposal
is carried out. Second is the pres
idential boards unanimous report
against the projected slash. 1t also
was said that Mr.. Roosevelt's
promise of cooperation had played
large part in influencing the
carriers.
Emerging from his meeting with
the president, Pelley said that the
chief executive had requested set
Element of the dispute without
trouble on a peaceful basis" He
declined to predict what action the
carriers would take in Chicago,
but other sources, close to rail
management agreed with wide
spread reports that the wage de-
mand would be dropped. g.
T. President Roosevelt's confer
ence with Pelley preceded another
with. Chairman Geo. H. Harrison
of the Railway Labor Executives
association. Harrison told news
papermen that the president
wants railroad labor and manage
ment Immediately to take up the
problem of developing a program
of legislation for general rehabili-
tation of the industry"
Earlier Pelley said that. Presi-
dent Roosevelt was hopeful that
the recently appointed informal
committee of three rail manage
ment and three labor leaders will
produce a constructive rehabilita-
ton program which the admins
tration can support at the next
congress.
i The rail executive said that the
president had not sought to press
the carriers to accept the fact
finding boards report, but that he
had represented himself as feeling
that the entire matter would be
settled on a peaceful basis with
regard to the good of the entire
co,,ntrv and industry

Commission members agreed
that the matter requires caution

Congressional reaction came
from Sen. Glide Herring d. Ia,
in Des Moines. He demanded leg
islation requiring the FEC to ex-
anime every radio program before
it is broadcast. This proposal;
however. renews the controversial
issue Of government censorship OF
the air lanes. There has been frlc-
ton within the FEC for some time
over how far federal authorities
should go in a supervisory ca
pacity.
81 agree in principle with Char
man McNinch but ! feel that the
FEC should proceed with the ut
most caution to avoid the DANCE,
of censoring what shall or shall
not be broadcast Commissioner
r. A. NJ. Craven said. 81 also feel
that in this case caution should
be exercised so that any FEC ac-
ton will not tend to handicap de-
velopment of the dramatic arts N
broadcasting."
Another commissioner, who de-
clined to be quoted by name, OBJ
served that a broadcastine COM
pany should not be penallzed sc.
verely for an "isolated mistake
if its services over a long period
had been satisfactory. He SAID,
however, that the program was
"prize boner" that deserves the
"booby prize for the year"
Commissioner George Henry
Payne said that "too many broad
casters have insisted that they
could broadcast anything they
like" but that the public which
receives the material in its homes,
has a Fright to protection" ,
He said he had campaigned
against "terror" programs for two
years and that ministers through
out the country had protested dur
ing the last 10 days against "this
very thing as it affected children"

DROP IN WHEAT
SEEDING HEAVY.
S. Million Acre Allotment
as Against 81 Million
Seeded Last Year

WASHINGTON. Nov. l. (UP)
The Department of Agriculture
last night forecast material re-
auctions in wheat acreage seed
ings in the United States for the
1899 harvest because Of low prices
resulting from huge foreign and
domestic supplies.
The prediction was made in Il
survey of the farm outlook for
1899 by the Bureau of Agricul-
tural Economics. The survey
showed that allotments for seed
ing the 1899 crop under the new
farm bill total 100000 acres.
estimated to produce 660,000,000
bushels.
This is far below the $1,000
600 acres seeded in 1898 and the
annual average of 76.000.000
acres between 1928-32. it said.
"If seedlings for 1899 exceeded
the allotment Of 55,000.000 acres
to any considerable extent. and
dNSIdSS ylcluS are ODJdIIcu. all
increase in the already large Unit
ed States carryover appears I'M
avoidable," the bureau said.
"Wheat acreage of the l939-40
harvest in the rest of the world is
not likely to be decreased"
1t is estimated that there will
be a world carry-over supply on
July 1889 of l,l65, 100000 BUSH
els more than double that of
July 1897 and second only to the
l,l93,000,000 bushels in 1888.
This large carry-over prospect
indicates that unless Improvement
in economic conditions or in the
general price level is greater than
at present indicated. or unless
world yields are materially below
average in 1889, domestic wheat
prices in l939-40 may continue
low compared with recent years"
it said.
"Unless yields in other impor-
tant exporting countries should be
low, export prospects for United
States wheat in l939-40 are def
nitely less favorable than in either
of the two previous years because
of the expected increase in world
carry-over stocks"
