That a reduction of rallway wages would be “indefensible’’ because the rate of pay in other industries was not below that on the railroads, cost of living “had not really declined below the level on which the present wages were fixed” and that the present rates were not sufficient to maintain an American standard of living. That the rallway employe was “the | residual sufferer from industrial de- pression.” Protest Overruled The railroad labor board decided to proceed immediately with the consoli- dation hearing into requests of 97 rallroads for wage reductions, deny- ing the unions’' plea for postpone- ment until the board ruled it was within the law in proceeding with a majority of ite members present. The board extended the time "3;“ for evidence to five days of five hour hearings for each side. The carriers will open and at the end of theif testi- mony a week's recess wil be taken to let the unions prepare their testimony. The employes then will have five days in which to present their side. Deaths and Funerals. Norman T.

H These reports, it was pointed out, were based on the assumption that Germany neither intends to pay ade- quate reparations or to offer a new and acceptable solution for the problem, and British efficials are declining- as yet to concur in any such assumption. However, should Germany not offer a solution before May 1 the British will, it is stated consider that she is deliber- ately blocking the treaty and the British any action necessary to enforce the treaty.

No call for the mobilization of these classes for any reason what- | soever had been sent out, the ministry i asserted. BIG BUS OVERTURNS.
