There has been a rumbling of discontent !n railroad labor circles for many months. f the result of the fail-ur-of the railroad labor board to trant the full wage demands of the workers and the srrantin of increased rates t? th railroads. Thii discontent steadily mounting and wages are 'reduced leaders here assert they will not be able to hold their men in line. The hardest Jol we hava right now s to keep the men at their work." said F. C Davidson, secretary of the International Machinists' organization tori a- The international machinists embraces a majority of the railroad shop workers. The men ars bitter,'- said Davidson. They want to throw up their Jobs and quit working no .". Our task is to keep them on the Job. "I don't want to talk strike.

The other seventy per c-jnt of the Increases has not gone to labor and the roads have no JustiCcati- i fer talking wage l eduction." TV. Jett i-auck, economist of the jaliroud labor organizations, is understood to be preparing new facts on :ailroad earnings which will be used to resist any wagi! reductions. President "Wilson, meanwhile.

Atterbury, chairman of the labor board of the American Association of Railway Executives, that the national agreement between thn railroad administration and the railroad" and employes were postponed today to Monday, Feb. 7. The railroad employes were to have replied today to Atterbury's rtatementg to the effect that a national crisis faced the United States if th agreement were not abrogated ant wages of railroad men reduced, t ii r. employes rebuttal was postponed until Monday by agreement, the board announced. Atterbury, in a statement read to the board at today's session, declared that 40 per cent of the railroads r.fi the country did not pay their current! expenses during the month of Jan-j tiry; that 35 railroads failed even tn j earn operating expenses, and that "a I roads, while earning bare operating espensei did not earn their taxes and other flsed charges against their business. These roads, the statement said, have a telal mileage of more than jon.ooo. Atterbury's statement reiterated his previous declaration that his own road, the Pennsylvania and other roads are facing bankruptcy unless the national agreement is abrogated and indicated plainly that the railroad.-) would r.of appeal to congress in their emergency as suggested .by the employes representatives.
