HOOVER URGES DELAY IN R. R. PAY CUT MOVE Asks Executives of Lines to Postpone Conference to First of Year. Bp t nihil Prr* ‘ WASHINGTON, Rcpt. 27.—Preslrk>nt Hoover's suggestion that railroad labor wage cut negotiations be delayed until the first of the year *** before road executives and labor leaders today, and viewed as a hope that economic skies may have <U cleared by January that drastic cjits, at least, would not be considered necessary. It was expected Mr. Hoover's proposal would meet immediate support from the labor representatives. They already had indicated their unwillingness to discuss the wage situation at, this time by rejecting advances of railway executives for an immediate conference on the roads’ proposal. .The President's position was announced by Labor Secretary William N Doak, who said Mr. Hoover felt that negotiations ’'could be based on a better realization of the actual circumstances existing” after the first of next year. The existing 10 per cent wage cut agreement expires Feb. 12. .The labor secretary explained that Mr. Hoover was of the opinion that, "it might be well agreed to defer further discussion until the end of the year, as the general economic situation would be much clearer at that time.”

Coolidge Likely to Head Rail Aid Group

BY LOWELL L. LEAKE Iniltt Prm Staff Crrmondfnt NEW YORK. Sept. 27—Calvin Coolidge will return to public life to head a commission whose purpose, stripped of verbiage, is to protect investments and savings bymaking railroad rate increases less difficult, according to an announcement expected here teday or Wednesday. Reports that the former President would accept the chairmanship of such a nonpartisan committee, including Alfred E. Smith, Bernard M. Baruch, and Clarke Howell, Democrats, and Alexander Legge, Republican, have been prevalent for some time. The commission, the reports said, was to be sponsored by a huge financial and industrial group exclusive of the transportation lines themselves.

The purpose will be to make a survey, and sponsor legislation to correct such evils as tend to ‘‘confiscate'’ property, destroy the credit of the railroads, and wipe out savings represented by securities or insurance policies. Such an announcement would indicate that even the tremendous unprecedented financial aid extended to the railroads within the last year, plus a wage rut and other economies have not been enough to withstand the pressure of the depression. The roads have borrowed about $275,000,000 from the government. And the drop in traffic and earnings has not been abated. And stocVs have fallen almost in pace with earnings. The average of twenty leading railroad stocks in September of 1929, when quotations were highest, was $lB9 Today, the average of the same stocks is about $36.22, and that average fell dur-

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ing July to Its lowest point, $13.23, a mark never equaled. The point, which the sponsors of the commission will emphasize, is that insurance companies, for instance, have invested certain funds in what all authorities had conceded to be safe and sound stocks and bonds, including many railroad securities. If these stock and bond values are wiped out by continued fall in earnings, insurance policies, which represent savings, will become valueless. The same is true of investment securities in which many have placed their life savings. Os the men reported ready to serve on the commission, the former President is a director in the New York Life Insurance Company. Alfred E. Smith has magazine editorial duties and responsibility for real estate management. Bernard M. Baruch is a director of the B. & O. railroad and a for-

CITY BANKS TU SUBMIT BID UN SCHDOL LOAN Joint Offer to Be Made on $500,000 Issue to Pay Local Teachers. Arrangements have been made by a group of local bankers to submit a joint bid on a $500,000 temporary loan tonight at the school board meeting, relieving fear that teachers and other school employes might not be paid Oct. 1. The payless payday change resulted from assessed valuation decreases which will reduce the school borrowing power, effective Jan. 1, to less than $500,000.
