Provisional Agreement Reach- ed by Railway Executives and Heads of Four Brother- hoods. Washington, Jan. 16.—A provisional agreement was reached today by rail- way executives and heads of the four brotherhoods meeting at the instance of Secretary Hoover, to submit wage and working questions affecting train ser- vice employes to regional conferences for adjustment, if possible, without con- tests before the railroad labor board. Railroad executives will meet in Chi- cago Saturday to consider the Dropos: als, while brotherhood chiefs will re- port back to their organizations and if the agreement is ratified; as all concern- ed expected today that it would be, the regionsl gatherings will be sum- moned about February 10. - The action was decided upon after an all day session in which active heads of many of the larger rallroad organiza- tions of the country participated and which was called by a smaller prelim- inary meeting of realroad executives and abor leaders with Mr. Hoover. Among those present were: R. D. Un- derwood, president of the Erie; Carl Gray, president of the Union Pacific; W. W. Atterbury, vice president of tue Pennsylvania; C. H. Markham, presi- dent of the Illinois Central; W. L. Map+ other, president of the Zouisville and Nashville; Danfal Willard, president or the Baltimore & Ohio; W. J. Hanrahan, president of the Chesapeake and Ohio; A. H. Smith, president of the New York Central; J. H. Hustis, president of the Boston and Maine; Hale Holden, pres- ident of the Chicago, Buslington Quiney; and B. ¥. Bush, president of. the Missourl Paclfic. Among the brotherhood officers were Warren S. Stone, chief of the engin- eers; W. G. Lee, chief of the trainmen L. E. Shepherd, for the condictors, and Timothy Shea. for the enginemen. The regional, conferences, Mr. Hoover said, would “facilitate the work of the Railroad Labor Board and above ail, tend to create a spirit of working good and the settlement of difftrences by adjustment, not by methods of litiga- tion.” 1t was pointed out that the fixing of wage scales for train service employ- es had been brought about through ne- gotiations participated in by railroad of- ficials and union representatives In dis- W all cre work the period was performed dur- prior to the ng Furthermore, it was said, that the meth- war., od of reconciling differences by nego- tiations prior to appealing to the labor board had been specially contemplat- cd by the transportation act sections cre- ating M the Hoo: board. s er stated that the conference day did not discuss wages or work- ing agreements in themselves and added that he considered the railroad labor situation entirely disconnected from neotiatlons“ over coal mining wages, which he has tentatively embarked upon as representative of the administration. Rafzbads have formally given no- tice to the railroad board and the organ- izations of their enfployes that they will ask general reductions in existing wage at the conferences. New Working conditions will be the same as those in effect hefore the strike, which was called when the employers increased the working week from 44 to 48 hours and announced that a plecework system would be instituted. In announcing the opening, attornevs for the employers’ hody declared that an apeal would he taken from a recent su- | preme court decision compelling the man- ufacturers to re-estabilsh the 44-hour week and the week work system in com- pliance with a contract which doesn’t ex- pire until June 1 CANADIAN RAILWAYS SHOPMEN ACCEPT WAGE REDUCTION Winnipeg, Man., Jan. 16.—Shopmen employed by all Canadian railways have voted by a small majority to accept the 12 1-2 per cent. wage cut made effective jast July, Charles Dickie. the. labor offi- jcial who has been counting the ballots fo ra month, announced today.
