RAIL PARLEY SET
ON WAGE ISSUE
Meeting Here Next Week
to Bring Workers and
Lines Together.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March l9-American
railway management today rested its
hopes for immediate financial relief
through wage reductions on a confer
ence with representatives of the Ma
tion's million rail workers.
The conference. tentatively set for
next week in Washington, was planned
by the Association of American Rail-
roads. which yesterday named a COM
mittee to confer with spokesmen for 81
rail brotherhoods.
Although the association, represent
ing 140 class lines, expressed a
willingness to discuss the entire eco
nomic situation of the industry, pro-
posals for wage cuts were expected to
top the agenda.
J. J. Pelley, president of the asso-
citation, said: There is no question
but that they (brotherhoods) will meet
with us"
However, George NJ Harrison, chair
man of the Railway Labor Executives
Association, said at Cincinnati he felt
little could be accomplished. because
both management and labor were rep
resented on committee named by the
President to consider the distressed
condition of railroads"
Mr. Harrison also declared there
was no justification for wage cuts
since the Interstate Commerce Com
mission granted increases in freight
rates tor the specific purpose of avoid
ing such reduction"
Officials of the Brotherhoods of Rail-
road Trainmen and Locomotive En-
ginemen at Cleveland have declared
they would oppose wage cuts and the
reopening of the wage question.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference yesterday he had not con-
sidered the railroad wage question,
but expressed an off-hand opinion
that reduction at this time would be
inadvisable.

u. S. Action Is Undecided.


Secretary of State Hull said today
that representatives of American oil
companies whose properties in Mexico
nave been taken over by the Mexican
government had not. as yet filed with
the department any data such as
would form a possible basis for repre-
Sentations.
The Secretary said the department
lacked complete information on the
Mexican developments. A dispatch
from the American Ambassador in
Mexico City reported that he under
stood proclamation would be issued
to take over certain oil and other
properties owned by foreigners In the
country, Mr.. Hull said.
Other than that the department had
no information other than press re-
ports, he said.
In view Of these circumstances, the
Secretary said, he could not make
any definite statement as to this
Governments attitude as yet.
He said the department had been ir
touch with oil company representa-
tives from time to time in order to
keep informed about developments
which led up to the crisis yesterday
He had nothing to say about the pos
sibility Of the United States taking
parallel action with Great Britain
whose oil interests also were seized by
the Mexican government.
Mr.. Hull also said he could not dis
cuss at this time press reports that
President Cardenas had said in q
speech in Mexico City this morning
that he would see to it that the demo-
cratic nations would receive oil sup
plies from the Mexican fields, while
other nations would not.

official as presaging depreciation Of
the currency
He did not indicate at what point
the bank would attempt to peg the
peso, quoted yesterday at $50 to the
dollar.
Other Firms Cease Operations.
The American Smelling g. Refin-
ing Co. announced suspension of op-
erations in its big Monterrey silver
refinery. which employees 400 men,
ostensibly because of labor difficulties.
Reliable sources also said the Ford
Motor Co.'S assembly plant in Mexico
City, employing 800 men, would not
open today.
The strike of union workers was
prompted by a labor board action
earlier yesterday resembling labor con-
tracts, in view of the Oil companies
claims that it was impossible to accept
the new labor conditions.
There was no announcement as to
how much indemnity the companies
would be paid for their appropriated
property Under Mexican law such
indemnification must be made within
10 years.
Companies affected by the expro-
priation decree were:
Compania Mexicana de Petroleo Ell
