ROADS ASK FOR NEW CUTS IN WORKERS’ PAY From 4 to 27 Cents an Hour —$10 to sl4 a Month. PLEA IS SWEEPING Virtually All Except Men in Train Service Included. CHICAGO, March 7—Railroads of the country today requested the United States railway labor board again to slash wages of their employes. Cut ranging from 4 to 27 cents an hour for employes on an hourly basis and from J 10.02 to ?14.2S a month for those on a monthly pay basis were asked of the board. Practically all railway employes, except those in train service, a”e affected. Two hundred and five railroads and twenty-five unions are involved In the wage hearing before the board. Some of the roads. In the hands of receivers, have asked for separate hearings. A few tfnlons are seeking wage Increases for the employes. The shop crafts, it Is understood, will make such a plea. “The railroads are not asking for low level of pre-war wages',” said John W. Higgins, executive secretary of the Association of Western Railways, who made the opening presentation of the roads, filing an immense amount of tabulated evidence For tiack and common laborers, unskilled work, the railroads asked that they be authorized to pay the prevailing rates for such labor in the locality of employment. Mr. Higgins presented volnminous data to show that railroad wages were uniformly higher than those paid in similar Industries, a factor which the transportation act .equires as a bisis of consideration of a wage scale. I NT) r ST RIAL SCR VET. The survey prepared by the roads covered 5,327 industries in twenty-eight Western States. Os the 315.593 employes of all classes in comparaDle industries. 247.56 C or 77.73 per cent, were getting lower wages in December. 1921. than the railroads were paying for similar service. The investigation disclosed, according to the railroads’ figures, that in Arkansas. Arizona, Kentucky. Michigan. Mississippi and Tennessee more than 90 per cent of other industries are paid less than railroad wages. In IIPP'-is SO to 90 per cent of the employes are being paid less than the railroad scale. Seve-al Western States show less than 50 pe" cent of the employes at less than wages paid railroau men. “The railroads nish to be fair on this wage efuestion,” said Mr. Higgins; “but I do not believe that the Transportation Act Intended a fat rate of wages to prevail throughout the country. Outside industries do not now pay a flat rate. “The wages 1 have read into the record show that for the most classes the railroads propose 50 per cent to 100 per cent higher than those paid in 1915, and from sl> to 70 per cent highcT than the level of 1917. We are not asking for the low level of pre-war wages.” SAYS RAILROADS PAY HIGH RATE. The railroads, Mr. Higgins contended, are being obliged to pay higher rates than in outside industries for similar work and, therefore, are "under a great disability which subjects them to criticism.” “The board should not compel the roads to continue this disability, paying a higher artificial scale in some communities,” he declared. “It places the carriers in the embarrasing position of fixing rates for manufacturers and the public. The reads are being forced to defend a condition for which they are not responsible and with which they are not in sympathy.” The present controversy before the board may require considerable time. Mr. Higgins is representing the Western roads, John G. Welber, the Eastern, and W. A. Northcott, the Southeastern. The cases will be held in the following order: Shop crafts, maintenance of way, clerks, signalmen, dispatchers, firemen and oilers and te^grnphers. CHARGE ROADS GRANT FAVORS CHICAGO, March 7.—Railroads are discriminating in favor of the big four brotherhoods against other classes of employes, It was charged today before the United States Railroad Labor Board. Union leaders representing organizations of railroad workers outside of the brotherhoods, asked the board to postpone hearing on the demand of carriers for a 10 per cent wage reduction until conferences can be held between the workers and the employers. . Such conferences are now in progress between the brotherhoods and the railroads. The other unions hel dtbat the discrimination rested In the railroads refusing to negotiate with other unions. “There has been no dispute and until there Is a dispute such matters cannot be brought before the board,” E. J. Manion, president of the Order of Railroad Telegraphers, contended. Bert 11. Jewell, head of the shop craft* organizations, backed Manion's stand. "It is a peculiar thing that the lower paid workers are summoned here at this time while the higher paid members of the big four brotherhoods have been invited to ‘petting parties' by the railroads,” Manion said. Now Think Sands in Suicide's Grave Up in Connecticut WAREHOUSE POINT. Conn., March 7. —Did Edward F. Sands, missing butlersecretary of William Desmond Taylor, murdered film director, commit suicide in ■^Connecticut? An answer to this question is being sought today by State police and other authorities of the State as a result of the disclosure that the body of a man shot to death, apparently a suicide, here Feb. 19, bore a startling resemblance to the description of Edward F. Sands, as furnished by the police of Los Angeles. The body of the suicide, which was buried a few days ago without identification, may be exhumed if the developments be: r out the first impressions as to the similarity between the description of Sands and that of the man found here. State Police Chief Robert Hurley, to whose attention the matter has been called, will. It is expected get into communication with Los Angeles police in an attempt to settle the question as to whether tr,e mis::ig vii.it Os in. ~r mi,;’ his life here.

DOVE O’ PEACE AGAIN COOING AT CITY HALL (Continued l'rom rage One.) which bids received Feb. 20 averaged. Concrete is much cheaper than asphalt. Yesterday Mr. Freeman picked up the rejected Osage street bids and with Dr. Spencer began a discussion of the matter. George O. Outsell, clerk of the board, recalled the bids had been rejected because they were all on concrete. The board membeis said they had not known before the street was only fifteen feet wide and wondered if the rejection of bids might not be rescinded. They were advised the bids were null since they had been rejected so they decided to re-advertlse, leaving the specifications Just as they were so that proposals could, be received on any kind of material. FIRST OVERTIME FOR PEACE. This was the first tender of the olive branch. Mr. Elliott said “On these narrow streets some of these cheaper materials should be used.” “There's no question between us on that score," said Mr. Freeman end the dove of peace perched on a window sill. “What do you think of this Kentucky rock asphalt? How about some of It?” The engineer stated several days ago he would like to see Kentucky rock and emulsified asphalt, said to be far cheaper than any kind of material used in Indianapolis now, tried out, and he seized Mr. Freeman’s question quickly. He “thought” it would be a very good idea, he 6aid, to try Kentucky rock asphalt out on one street, say a stretch of Prospect street from Madison avenue to Shelby street. Here was a brick foundation over which Kentucky rock asphalt could be laid and given a very fair tryout, he said. In fact, engineers for the firm that produces this material had told him they could lay a pavement there and guarantee it. He “thought” the one street should be laid at this time and then no more for a year or two so the board could watch how the experimental stretch stood the test. DOVE GETS IN AT CONFERENCE. From time to time there were nods of approbation from the board members and the pacific bird flitted around the room. The board inquired if the engineer ever had seen any Kentucky rock pavement. He had, twelve or fourteen miles of It in Kentucky and It looked like excellent stuff, he said. One road, he was told, had been laid seven years, at an average cost of $25 a year a mile to keep tip and still was in splendid shape regardless of the fact It was said to have been used by as high as 5,000 motor tracks a day during the war period. The engineer said if the board decided to try out Kentucky rock or emulsfied asphalt. which are laid cold, as compared with Trinidad and oil asphalt, which must be heated before being laid, ht would like to see specifications wide open so both cold and hot asphalt would be bid upon. In that way, he said, thi board could get a good line on (he difference in price, if there proved to be any. The board acquiesced readily. “Well, now we understand each other thoroughly on that, don't we, that on any of these minor streets cheaper materials should be used?” a board member asked. “Yes, we do,” replied the engineer, heartily. It is said only one thing remains which might prevent the rupture from being healed. This is the order eliminating concrete, which still is on the board's books. Mr. Elliott, It is understood, would like to see inis come off. BOARD ALSO CORRECTS ERROR. The board not only negotiated for an understanding with Mr. Elliott but also wiped out an error of last week which had made it subject to some criticism. Last week the board awarded a contract for the grading aid curbing of Fiftieth street, from l’ark avenue to Broadway, to George T. Garriott, nlugh his bid was $25.41 higher than that of Sehwcrt Brothers. The award was made, Mr. Freeman and Dr. Spen eer said, on recommendation of Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank, who happened to be sitting with the board at the time. Mayor Shank, they said, thought Gar riott's bid was the lower. The board called Charles Sohwert of Schwert Brothers in and asked him if he would object if the contract with Garriott was signed. He said he would abide by whatever the board wished to do. After a consultation with Mr. Elliot and City Attorney James M. Ogden is was decided the board legally could rescind its award to Garriot nnd Mr. Schwert was told he got the contract. “I stand ready, and I know the whole Piles Cured In 6 to 14 Days.

I One move in the interests of property j owners in the action of the previous I board of works, was made. This was ! in the rescinding of all action on a resoI lution for the permanent improvement of Raymond street from Madison avenue !to Meridian street. Twenty-three of twenty-six resident property owners signed a remonstrance against the improvement. The remonstrance, however, was Invalid because It was not filed in 1 the lime required by law. I Dsplte the fact the property owners had slept on their rights, the board de- | eided if so many o? them did not desire the improvement it should not be forced upon them. It has been the general custom heretofore for the board of works, In such a case, to confirm the resoI lution and proceed with the paring. UNCERTAINTY IN SUPPORT OF 4-POWER PACT (Continued From Fugc One.) the essential two-thirds without adequate Democratic support. The revolt against Senator I'nder- ' wood's leadership is growing. He nd- | mits it. Two of the Democratic Sen- ! ators whose su[ port he counted on, are | unavoidably at seat —(twert of Oklahoma, j who Is In Europe, and Trammell of ; Florida, who was forced to return home by his wife’s Illness. Word was received by Senator Lodge ! that Senator Crow of Pennsylvania prob- ' ably will not be able to be present when I the vote on ratification occurs, because tof his continued Illness. It Is not likely j that Crow can be “paired." although a | “pair" has been arranged for Senator i Harreld of Oklahoma, who will also be ; forcer to absent himself because of 111i ness. NEED OF ONF. VOTE FORESEEN. j The gap expected to be left by Crow’s absence must be filled by Underwood i with a Democratic vote, thereby increas- | Ing the number he must command beJ sides his own to eight. Os the thirty- ■ six Democratic Senators, twenty-eight arc i reported to be lining up aganst ratification unless such reservations are attached to the treaty us the Republicans do not want. Underwood will be beaten ts that many Democratic votes are cast against the treaty, with those of four Republiean “lrreconcilables'' Borah of Idaho. Johnson of California. LaFollette I of Wisconsin and France of Maryland, and with Crow absent and not “paired.” A rude awakening for those who dream i of national economy under the naval dlsi armament treaty was predicted by Sen- ! ator King, Democrat, of Utah. BRANDS REDUCTION OF EXPENSES “FOLLY.” King branded as “folly,” all promises ! of reductions in national expenses under ; the disarmament plan. He declared the i United States Navy would spend “upI wards of $300,000,000 a year on develop- ; ing other means of national defense while | dismantling its capita! ships.” King warned that no saving could be ! effected as the treaty applies to only three of the first ten “great powers.” While opposing an alliance with foreign powers. King said lie probably would vote for the pact "if it is the best that | can be obtained.” I “Americans will be greatly disappointed In the operation of the naval disarmament plan," said King, j “What the United States saves in : capital ships she will spend on subaiarlAps, airplanes, destroyers, torpedo ! boa's, airplane carriers and monster ; mines, along with other naval weapons yet to be developed. ' “If there is any great reduction in i aval expenditures, it will come from a world disarmament pact, which will in- ; elude land disarmament, and not iroin a relatively unimportant action such as taken at the Washington conference. “Smaller nations. through applied chemistry and modern Invention, will develop new weapons which will be just as effective as battleships. This will result in enormous expenditures by the United States in an effort to maintain the lead in the new science of warfare.” King said there would be no material reduction in American naval expenses unless a world pact were adopted. A warning that if the four power Faeific treaty is “covered with unnecessary reservations,” by the Senate, that Great Britain, France and Japan may insist upon qualifying or interpreting it to suit themselves with reservations of their own, was voiced by Senator Kellogg, ltepubFcan of Minnesota. “Some of the reservations—their ontl ours—rn-ght hinder ratification, might weaken the effect of the tretay,” Kellogg said.

DEMAND SPACE AT FLOWER SHOW Trade Exhibitors Supply Problem for Management. Not the least important feature of the early preparations for the Fifth National Flower Show, which is to held in the Manufacturer's and Woman's Art Building at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, is the demand for space on the part of national exhibitors, who realize the great trade possibilities of the National Flower Show. Trade exhibits of the ordinary kind will be placed In the Woman's Art building, but some of the trade having exceedingly artistic lines are applying for space in the flower show itself. Among the local firms who have made applications for space, is the Midwest Engine Company, which specializes in tractors for florists’ 'use, manufacturers oj lawn mowers, makers of garden pottery and vases, dealers In garden effects such as trellises and tallies are also applicants for space. Lord A- Burnham Cos., of Chicago, which builds beautiful conservatories on private estates, is one of the principal exhibitors, having secured allotment of 1.000 feet of space. A. L. Randall Company of Chicago, national dealers in cypress lumber, also will have an exhibit. John Young of New York, national secretary of the Society of American Florists, who has offices In the Chamber of Commerce building, says it will be a great problem how best to display the wonderful exhibits of flowers, in view of the great numbers of exhibitors and the. crowds of people from all parts of the State who are displaying interest in the National Flower Show.
