RAILWAY HEADS VIEW WAGE CUT AS ‘DYNAMITE’ 0 Brotherhoods Will Fight Reductions Bitterly, Operators Concede. B.i United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J. t Oct. 22. —Wage cuts for railroad workers, and strenuous opposition to the interstate commerce commission's plan for aid for distressed railroad companies, appeared today as subjects for consideration y controlling officials of the nation's railroads meeting here. While the program calls for consideration of the "absolute necessity of further reductions in operating costs,” wage tuts are seen as the “meat” of the discussion. The carriers have cut all other expenses as far as possible; now, if they must reduce costs still further, wages must suffer, it was believed. Wage reduction is a ticklish subject with railroad men. As one who refused to allow his name to be used, said: “I’d rather jump into the ocean 500 miles from land than talk wage reductions. It's the worst sort of dynamite.”

Interests Mutual, Claim He expressed the view that the railroad brotherhoods apparently fail to realize the fact that their future is tied up with that of the railroad companies. "I don't say that the position of the brotherhoods is indefensible,” he said. “At any other time I would be in thorough sympathy; but the interstate commerce commission has offered no aid whatsoever. It has been blind to the real crisis and it has left the railroads no alternative, if they must save themselves.” He insisted that the brotherhoods “must realize that it is poor policy to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. As I see it, there is only one thing to do, andSthat is, reduce wages. Yet, any such program will meet the bitterest sort of opposition.”

Hoover Help Remote Outside of wage reductions, the carriers’ one hope of salvation lies in President Hoover, the executive stated. “There’s been much talk of a plan he is formulating to aid us,” he said, “but, personally, I haven’t a great deal of faith.” Informally, executives were talking among themselves, before opening of the two-day conference today, of what sort of definite plan for wage redaction might be adopted. One plan discussed involved cancellation of contracts with the brotherhoods under the thirty-day clause, which would bring the question to a head quickly. A second plan was for appointment of a committee to negotiate with the brotherhoods for voluntary acceptance of a wage cut for a limited time. They seemed to feel the interstate commerce commission’s plan of a fund pooled from freight increases on certain commodities, to be used to pay the guaranteed earnings of the weaker railroad companies, was of no practical value.

THIRTY MIDGETS TO ARRIVE SATURDAY Singer's Troupe of Little People Will Open Engagement of a Week as Part of Big Bill at the Lyric. SINGER'S MIDGETS, the largest troupe of the smallest people in the world, will arrive here next Saturday in their three private railroad cars to take up their duties of entertaining theatergoers of this community at the Lyric theater for one week. The press agent of the midgets has furnished some interesting data on these tiny mites. They are found individually in various parts of the world and never in communities as it is generally believed. The majority come from Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Austria. Comparatively few are found in Germany, but as the little folk have

adopted German as the common language among themselves it often gives the erroneous impression that they are all Germans. Midgets are always bom of normal parents, and children born of midget parents are always normal, so it follow’s that Inasmuch as this strong characteristic is not inherited, one finds the complete extinction of these little people in another generation or two. Intellectually they are of the average intelligence of a full grown adult of the same age. This further proves the popular contention that the size of the brain bears no relation to the intellectual capacity. There are thirty of these little men and women in Singer’s troupe, eleven men and nineteen women and the ages run from 17 to 48 years. This company was organized seventeen years ago by Baron Leopold von Singer of Vienna, Austria, from whom the troupe’s name is derived. His wife, Baroness Vicki-Wally, will be with the company during their engagement at the Lyric. Besides the little folk the company Includes three trained elephants, ponies, camels and a real
