The agreement which authorized the nation’s railroads to take §215,- 000,000 out of the pay envelopes of the workers for one year was signed Sunday night by leaders of both sides. It was a voluntary concession gn the part of labor at the request of the rails. Had the workers chosen, they could ‘have forced the carriers to take the reduction demand before a board of arbitration with con- sequent months of delay. Their rate of pay is protected by contract. In return the workers received cer- tain concessions to a compromise pro- gram they proposed, chief among them being the assurance the rails would do as much as conditions wouid justify to use the wage cut savings toward relieving the distress of 700,- 000 jobless and 600,000 only partly employed. The final scene, enacted in the conference room of a loop hotel, climaxed 17 days of negotiations that were without precedent in the his- tory of rail-labor relations. Never before had the two factions pooled, +|their efforts to solve a problem of like nature or magnitude. Before signing the isi Ben! he lers promised meet ‘condi- tions of labor, that they withdrdw the notice of a 15-per cent.wage cut they filed with the Interstate Com- merce commission in Deceniber and that they make “an earnest and sym- pathetic effort to maintain and in- crease railroad employment.” CUT $3,000,000 EACH St. Paul, Feb. 1—(#)—The Great Northern and Northern Pacific rail- ways will find their payrolls reduced about $3,000,000 each during the year as a result of the 10 per cent cut ac- cepted by unions in Chicago Sunday. {Weather Report i FORECAST ; 1,000 U. $, GATZENS Dakota Train Crashieviwor Decision Against C. M. T. Camp Here Is Latest Move By War Department TO PUT HEAT ON HURLEY Senators, Congressmen and Governor to Make New Plea Against Move Plans to renew the battle with the war department to keep Fort Lincoln occupied with federal troops were be- ing laid Monday by Bismarck citizens and the Association of Commerce. New impetus was given the move- ment: by the announcement Saturday at Fargo by W. C. Macfadden, civilian aide to the secretary of war, that no citizens’ military training camp will be held in Bismarck this year. The reason given for abandonment of the training camp was the fact that Fort Lincoln will not be occupied by fed- eral troops this year. Macfadden said North Dakota men and boys enlisting for the camp will go to Minnesota. He deemed it im- probable that the state quota, which ‘was 352 last year, will be changed for this year. Enrollment does not begin ‘until March 1 but between 30 and 40 Persons already have sent in appli- cations, | The line of attack upon the pro- posal to abandon the fort and the training camp has not been definitely determined but it probably will be along political lines. Secretary of War Patrick Hurley has made vari- ous promises to North Dakota men re- garding an opportunjty for a hearing before the fort is abandoned and it is expected that this fact will be called forcefully to his attention. Governor George F. Shafer is ex- pected to go to Washington to present ithe matter anew to Hurley and meanwhile the assault upon the war jdepartment probably will be renewed by the state’s senators and congress- men at Washington. The history of the Fort Lincoln abandonment movement shows that [it first was broached as an “economy” move by the war department. When this claim was exploded by facts and figures produced by a de- fense committee set up by the Asso- ciation of Commerce, the war de- partment explained that the move iwas desirable for tactical reasons; that the defense of the nation would Only One U.

Some 200 American citizens are in the city. The destroyer Simpson is com- manded by Lieutenant Commander P, above Shanghai. The Simpson has six officers and 115 men.
