paid about 100000 and the Com
mercial National about 100000

CARRIERS hint
ACCEPTANCE OF
BOARDS Terms
Relief to Be Sought
From Congress

GN.sJ Full white House pres.
sure was brought today on the
nations railroads IN a Presidential
request for the carriers to accept
recommendation Of the emers
gency fact-finding board against
a proposed IS per cent wage cut.
J. ]. Pelley, president Of the AS.
sociation of American Railroads,
was called into a conference this
morning with President Roosevelt.
Before he entered the Executive
Offices, Pelley said he anticipated
that the railroads would be urged
to comply with the Presidents
emergency board findings and to
withhold any wage cuts.
There were strong indications
that the railway industry will &C
cept the recommendations and
thus avert a strike Of 100000
workers.
TO KEEP IN STEP
In view Of the boards recon-
mendation, railroad executives ap-
peared to believe that the wisest
policy for them was to keep step
with the Presidents determination
to maintain wages at the highest
possible level.
Today, the roads were already
turning their studies toward q
legislative program through which
they can seek help for their
present distressed condition from
Congress.
The President was to confer
with George M. Harrison, chair
man of the Railroad Labor Execu'
tives' Association, later today.
BACK TO THE ROADS
The carriers joint conference
committee, headed by H. A.
Enochs, has decided to refer the
wage-cut question back to the in
dividual roads.
This action will drop on the
shoulders of each individual road
the burden of compliance or re.
lection Of the emergency boards
recommendation against the pay
cut. In the face of Administration
recommendations against it, and
the certainly Of a strike, no road
would risk a wage-cut on its own,
the rail chiefs pointed out.
The railway presidents them
selves will meet little later in the
week, to take formal action on the
emergency board report.
MAY URGE MEETING
1t is likely that the President
will urge Pelley and Harrison to
get together the special six-man
operators-labor committee which
he named about a month ago to
work out a legislative program for
the roads.
This committee, consisting Of
three representatives of labor and
three Of railway executives, held
one meeting in the White House,
and adjournd upon the assertion
of the labor members that they
could not give attention to legiS.
