RAILROAD LABOR AND WAGE ISSUES ! FACING CONGRESS (Continued from First Page.) Mnes in the matter of reductions by announcing that it proposed a 20 per cent decrease in the pgy of every em- ploye from the president down, with the exception of train service men, telegraph operators and _unskilled men. The pay of unskilled wotkers ‘would be brought down to conform ‘with the rates paid in other industries if possible. Conferences will be held Wwith the employes at Oelwein, Iowa, March 19. About 9,000 men would be D?‘e:-lod. o proposed policy was similar to that_announced a few days ago by the Pennsylvania lines. Will Seek Lower Wages. In every case the roads specified that they would seek lower wages in sccordance with the provisions of the transportation act, which provides that conferences must be held with the employes and the matter brought before the Rallroad Labor Board only when an agreement could not be reached in these conference: Statements issued by the presidents of various roads declared that the proposed cuts were imperative to en- able the railroads to run. It was said that the roads now were existing en- tirely on credit, through the leniency of their creditors. and that if th were forced to pay their bills im- | mediately they would not be able to meet the weekly pay rolls. Little Comment by Labor. From the labor side there was little | comment on the actions of the roads, B. M. Jewell, chairman of the rail- way labor department of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, said that he had known the propositions were com- | in for some time. and that he would | have to wait until he received "lr)r!‘ details before issuing a formal state. ment. Other officials questioned the | right of the roads to confer with their “Wages must come down,” said A. G. Wells, vice president of the Santa Fe system. “Everybody knows that. We will in a few days. as a start in a general readjustment, ask representatives of maintenancr of | way and shop workers, especially the unskilled workers, to come to Chicago and agree scale.” The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific and the Chicago and North- western likewise notifled its main- tenance of way employes to meet here March 18 and 21, respectively, for a discussion of wage readjustments. P. & R. Calls Parley. PHILADELPHIA, March 11.—A con- ference with representatives of un- skilled labor on March 15, to discuss in the existing rates of pay,” has been called by F. M. Flack., general manager of ~the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company. Twenty-five classifications of un- skilled labor are affected by the pro- | posed cut, according to circulars out- | lining its purpose. Officials of the company would not say whether any steps are to be taken regarding the wage schedules of the! remainder of the railroad’s 25,000 em- ployes. N. Y., N. H. and H. Act BOSTON. March 11.—The New York, ew Haven and Hartford railroad has announced a conference of additional classes of employes to discuss a down- ward revision of their rates of pay. effective April 15. Employes affected include supervisory forces, mainte- nance of way, shops, offices, station forces and dining car and restaurant employes. The date of the confer- ence will'be set later. Cuts by N. Y. Central NEW YORK. March 11.—The New York Central abolished the offic of general superintendent, and offi- als holding this position have been demoted to the grade of superintend. ent, railway officials announced here.

Y., March 11.—Pris vate develspment of New York's hy- dro-electric power under state juris- diction was recommended by Cov. Na- than L. Miller in a special message to the legislature today. He urged the passage of a licensing bill similar to the federal water-power act, “with careful provision to safeguard public interests.” While declaring that he viewed the deral waler-power act “as an in- fringement u the sovereign power of the state,” which it appeared to be the duty of th e 1o resist, the governor said that it was not neces- sary for the state to delay the adop- tion of a settled policy for the devel- oprient of the “potential water pow- of the st Court decisicn.

It is’ accepted as virtually certain not only that the Germans will abstain from violence but that the Berlin government will bestir itself for an amicable settlement. “We cannot avoid feeling that the Germans are trving the allles out,” said i Downing street official to the writer. “ohey appear to be searching for the breaking point between France and Great Britain.

Reparations Move Declared Just, But Generally Regretted. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily Copyright, 1921. ROME, Italy, March 11—The grav- ity of the international crisis caused |by the break between the allies and Germany regarding the reparations settlement ix profoundly re d by the Ttalians. Public opinion is divided. The majority of Italians, including government officials, admit the justic of the allied contention that German should pay, but many are skepti about the possibility of collecting the whole war bill and are uncertain as to Wwhether the effort is worth the risk. Italians wish to see Germany regain her commercial prosperity, and the newspaper comment reflects this sen- timent. The ministerial Tribuna says that Walter Simons does not under- stand the European situation or real- ize that the allies canont be divided. “The Ttalian people;” declares the paper. “today pay taxes three times as heavy as those the Germans pay. Yet Italy certainly did not desire the war. Italy is among the victorious coun i | ows. sources and productive capacity of Germany. She has no coal and hence there is nothing to do but agt. moment for applying the sanctions has come.” The Epoca declares that Ttaly must assume responsibility for an action she did not desire. ALLIES TO HANDLE TAXES. {T. 8. Forces Will Remain Inactive, State Department Says. By the Associated Press, American forces on the Rhine ivill take no part in the collection of cus- toms, but no objection will be made to such action by the allies within the territory occupied by them, it was learned today at the State De- partment. Drig. Gen. Allen, commanding the American Army, has reported that the high commissioner of the Rhine- land commission was studying - the plan_for the collection of duties at all bridgeheads occupied by allied troops, and it has been understood here that agents of the allied zovern- ments would be stationed at Coblenz to supervise the collection both of import and export duties. Gen. Allen, it was explained, will act without specific instructions. No change in the status of the American force or its role has been authorized, but it was officially stated that no obstacles ould be placed in the way of the allies in carry their newly adopted policy American troops will continue to act with the Rhineland commission, but with the understanding that has ex- isted since the occupation of Rhine. that the American command- ing officer is responsible only to his own government in determining ques. tions affecting the maintenance and operation of his force. r. | pointed jmn | NAMED FOR CHIEF CLERK tries.
