RAILWAY LABOR IS FACED WITH NEW WAGE CUT

Conference Called in N. Y. May Deal Second Blow to Unions. Sy Srrippt.ftotrard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.—Railway labor, which may take another wallop as the result of the new wage reduction conference called in New York, is in worse condition than a year ago, interstate commerce commission statistics showed today. Class One carters, according to the last I. C. C. report, had 1,081,5 96 employes in mid-May, a decrease of 255,735, or 19.12 per cent, under a year ago. Their compensation totalled $130,856,071 in May, as against $186,713,283 in May. 1931, a decrease of $55,857,212, or 29.92 per cent. The last wage cut went into effect in February, and while many then believed the reduction might result in further spread of work and employment of more men, the commission's figures show that the total number of railway employes has been decreasing steadily this

Slain Writers Many Loves Bared in Fliers Trial

By United Press MIAMI, Fla., Aug. 12— Haden Clarke's many loves and promises to marry various women brought about a situation that “easily would put him in such a position as to want to end it all,” James M. Carson, defending Captain William N. Lancaster against the state’s

year, except for one month. The May total marks a low for the last twelve months. With exception of maintenance men, every class of railroad employes was reduced in May as compared with April, and the maintenance of way total was far below that of May a year ago. Railway executives also are conferring concerning proposed borrowings from the Reconstruction finance corporation for repair work. Maintenance brotherhoods are anxious for such loans to be made, arguing that railway equipment is in poor repair and that any reasonable traffic increase could not be handled with present equipment. They demand, however, if the R. F. C. makes such loans, that it require railroads to have the repair work done in their shops, instead of “farming’’ it out to shops employing non-brotherhood workers. Railway labor may receive another shock as the result of the

charge of murdering Clarke, argued today. The defense, through its testimony today, drew a sorry picture of Clarke, who won the love of Jessie Keith-Milier from Lancaster, as a drug peddler, wife deserter and one who had often described the best methods of committing suicide and

impendnig four-system consolidation plan in the east, opposed by the brotherhoods, on the ground that possible economies will be accomplished chiefly by reducing the working forces. The wage cut of last winter marked an epoch in the depression. Following the United States Steel wage reduction, it proved that the administration's wage maintenance policy had been defeated by the force of depression economics. It grew out of prolonged conferences between railway executives and labor chiefs.

boasting that if he ever took his life he would do it in a way that would “make news.” Lancaster, noted British flyer, repeatedly has said on the stand that the youth, whose life he is accused of taking in return for losing Mrs. Keith-Milier, killed himself. Mrs. Keith-Milier, Lancaster’s flying partner for five years, said on the stand that he committed suicide. Thursday the defense produced witnesses in an effort to prove conclusively that Clarke died by his own hand; a report of a medical committee appointed to disinter the body sometime after the killing reported finding powder marks on the skull. Numerous love letters between Clarke and various women were read into the court record. Previous testimony has revealed Clarke’s relations with Peggy Brown, and late Thursday Joseph Steffes testified that Clarke took an apartment

last winter with a girl named Eleanor Griffen. On? letter from “Virginia,” thanked him for a Christmas letter and ended “...you know I love you. guess I always will. Not much I can do about it. If you need help you can always count on me.” Another letter from "Virginia” said she had given up planning their future, leaving it up to him; that he must make himself reliable to himself. “I know there is no existence

There was a lurid description of his eyes, “misty with passion your kisses a million times sweeter than heaven.” A letter was read from his wife, Mrs. Kate Clarke, in California, who wanted a divorce, but no alimony since, she said, he had never offered any support in their married life. Earlier Dick Lavender, roommate of Clarke in New Orleans, told of drinking bouts they'had. “Haden was a dope fiend, sometimes he sold it,” he said.
