When the upturn would come he could not say. but expressed confi- dence that it could not be far off. Blames Lack of Buying. The Baltimore & Ohio chief said ! that if a reduction among rail employes becomes necessary, the method of vol- untary agreement between roads and the brotherhoods would be preferable to any other. His statement followed announcement that the New York Cen- tral officials were seeking such a wage agreement. | "Mr. Willard declined to discuss the possibility of any such action by th Baitimore & Ohio. He recalled. ho ever, that he had said some time ago that if wages generally were reduced and costs went down, it would become necessary to seek rail wage cuts. Mr. Willard blamed the entire eco- nomie situation on lack of buying. “All over the country people have stopped buying.” he declared. “A man who meant to buy a new automobile this year has made up his mind to make the car he has do another year. He has stopped buying new clothes. He has not had his house painted. “That condition cannot endure.
