ROADS A UNONS TOPARLEYONEAT Conference at Chicago Dec. 12 to Involve $200,000,000 a Year. By the Associated Press. The next major negotiation in the troubled railroad situation involves a further reduction in wages, and will come at a conference between execu- tives and labor officers in Chicago, De- cember 12 ‘This meeting was arranged after the original request by rail officials was met by a sharp refusal on the part of the brotherhoods to entertain any such proposzl. The present wage-cut agree- ment expires in February. ‘The railroad executiv Washington officials understand, will base their argument on the premise that rail work- ers are receiving a higher scale than other industries, that thev can lend their efforts to business recovery by accepting a further cut, and thus meain- tain the carrier structure without im- pairment. Further, the executives will seek to prove, it is reported, that wages in coal, steel end other basic industries justi- fy their insistence that rail pay is too high under present conditions, partic- ularly when consideration is given to the fact that but 6 of the 150 class 1 carriers were able to earn fixed charges during ths first six months of this year. Leading raiiroads estimate a wage re- duction of 15 per cent would effect a savings of more than $200,000,000 a yea: to the carriers on the basis of present rail employment. WAGE LIQUIDATION ASKED.

FORT SMITH, Ark., December 2— 's no mail today for the gypsies, tle Mrs. Marie Cole, their only postmistress, is dead. i 20 years she had received and delivered letters for the gypsy tribes of the world, letters that reached her “post office” from the hands of the ‘wanderers who make Fort Smith a port of call, letters she sorted and handed out when cther tribes came to town.
