RAIL WORKERS DEADLOCKED ON PAY REDUCTION 11 of 21 Unions Undecided on Wage Slash, Promise of Steadier Jobs. BY JOHN B. MILLER United Prps Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 27,-Union leaders today strove to break the deadlock which is holding up acceptance of a proposal by rail executives of a 10 per cent general wage reduction lor 1.900,000 union rail employes. Conference after conference left eleven of the twenty-one major rail labor groups still undetermined whether to accep' the reduction and a promise of stabilized employment or to hold out for better terms. David B. Robertson, union chairman. reported no progress had been made in the iast twenty-four hours. Deadlock Causes Doubt “The individual unions meet again today in an effort to settle their problem,” he said. “All I can say is that we’ll certainly not see the railroad presidents to anonunce our decision until late this afternoon—if we do it then.” Observers were divided as to what the deadlock portends. Some believed ultimate acceptance of the reduction would be made as has been predicted throughout the negotiations. Others suggested the apparent lack of harmony among the labor groups indicated the conference would fail. The secret vote of ten unions which have balloted so far was believed to favor the reduction. Executives Optimistic Daniel Willard. Baltimore & Ohio president and head of the executives committee of nine, waited patiently for the unions to reach a decision. The executives have announced they have had their “last word.” They are convinced the picture of interest defaults and possible bankluptcy should the wage reduction be refused eventually will convince the unions. They pointed out the $250,000,000 saved the carriers in wages would react not only to the benefit of both employed and jobless rail workers, but would also revive e f her lagging industries dependent upon equipment and supply orders from the roads.

Decision Awaited Here Asa 10 per cent wage cut and employment stabilization program hung in the balance in Chicago, Indianapolis railroad officials today declined to comment on the outlook of rail workers under the proposal. Chiefs of railroads with terminals here, said they would await definite action from the Chicago conference before submitting propositions locally. H. O. Smith, secretary of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, No. 261, who estimated 3,000 railroad workers now are out of employment in the city, said the unions will take immediate steps to work out the employment stabilization plan. The local unions’ stabilization plan seeks shorter hours so work may be divided among those now employed, part-time workers and others who have not had employment tor several weeks, Smith said.

M’CARDLE DETAILS PROSPERITY VIEWS

Repeal Dry Law, Levy Sales Tax, State Official Recommends. Chairman John W. McCardle of the public service commission, an outstanding exponent of the conservative viewpoint in the state, today announced his own four-point program for economic recovery. It is as follows: 1. Repeal the prohibition amendment. 2. Levy a sales tax to relieve property of its present tax burden. 3. Equalize federal Income taxes so that wealth is not confiscated by the government, and men of initiative handicapped. 4. Get the government out of business. McCardle has been in the grain buying business since 1883. and has passed through all the panics since that periot.. The present plight is the worst in the economic history of the United states, he contends He roundly denounced the federal farm board as a $500,000,000 folly. “When" President Hoover learned that the board was paying individual salaries of $75,00P and $25,000, he should have called each of these men in and fire . him personally,” McCardle declared. “He would not have to explain the reason They would know, and so would the farmers who are receiving lowest prices in history for their grain.” McCardle makes speeches throughout the state showing the costliness of government in business and the burden of such efforts on the taxpayer. He is serving his fourth terms as public service commissioner and at one time was a member of the state tax board. Shelbyville Woman Dies By Timex ,Special SHELBYVILLE, Ind., Jan. 27.

WISCONSIN ACTS ON PROGRAM OF STATE RELIEF Emergency Incpme, Chain Stores Tax Feature Legislation. BY WILLARD R. SMITH United Press Staff Uorresoondent MADISON, Wis., Jan. 27.—The Wiscdnsin legislature, cradle of governmental experiments, today debated the most widespread state relief program ever proposed by an American commonwealth. The program, essentially that of Governor Philip La Follette, whose political dynasty has dominated the Wisconsin scene for years, is expected to come to a vote today. An emergency income tax, which opponents declare amounts to almost a capital levy, and taxation

of chain stores, is asked to provlJt $12,000,000 for the unemployment relief. The income levy is in addition to the existing state income tax. The fate of the far-reaching program rested today in the closely divided state senate, where regular Republicans opposed to the project normally hold a slim margin. Sponsored by Senator Polakowski. Milwaukee Socialist, the emergency measure provides for distribution of $6,000,000 for direct local relief, $5,500,000 for similar use or for lo-
