Makes Decision Atlantic City, Aug 29.—The execu- tive council of the American Federation of Labor has decided to take no action | regarding railroad wage reductions. Members said today, however, that the council stood ready to assemble in special conference and give any aid possible should it be requested to do so by any of the organizations of union railroad workers. The council in accordance with the instructions of the Denver convention is working on a plan to bring about ‘‘public ownership and democratic con- trol” of the nation’s railroad system. But nothing definite in this regard can be expected for some months, la- bor leaders says, as it is impossible to arrange conferences with the leaders of the railroad unions at this time when they are occupied with the wage reduc- tion situation. Investigation of salaries being paid railroad executives is being made by the council with a view to bringing pres- sure to bear to have these salaries re- duced ‘until other wage earners on railrcads are paid a wage sufficient to keep them in decency and comfort. Details of the proposed investigation into the use of workers’ savings by banks and insurance companies were announced today. The council proposes to inquire into the ‘‘present credit sys- tem of the country” and to study the Kenyon rural credit bill. Consideration is also to be given to a proposal to organize the proxy voting power of workers who hold policies in mutual in- surance companies Upon the conclusion of its investiga- tion the council is empowered to take “‘whatever action it deems best and prudent to the end that the interests, DAY, AUGUST rights and opportunities of the work- ers and farmers shall be amply protect- ed and fully promoted.” A report before the council says it is believed funds and savings of the work- ers accumulated by the banks and in- surance companies and the present credit’ system of the country to a large extent have been used ‘‘to crush and destroy the trade union movement and impoverish the workers as well as the farmers.’” Deaths and Funerails.
