LEADER URGES DELAY

(By Associated Pre) CHICAGO. May 5 Arguments against the wage reduction proposal submitted to the railroad labor board by railway executives were summed up today by B. M. Jewell, president of the railway employes department ol i the American Federation of Labor. He declared that for the board to order a wage reduction now would only bring the dispute over new national working agreements back before the board for determination "in a controversy of redoubled bitterness, and we would have a condition of utter chaos in the transportation industry." Negotiations now in progress on new working agreements to take the ( p'ace of those recently set aside by; the board "could never result in an I agreement before the day of judg-1 menj," Mr. Jewell declared, if new j wage schedules are established now i and attempts are made to negotiate J the new agreements on the basis of a' reduced wage. j Points Out Reason i "We admit," Mr. Jewell said, "that' the board cannot make an intelligent' and fair decision as to wage rates ex- j cept it re-if ffirms the prevailing rate?. ; until the new agreements have been j fixed and promulgated. "The reason for this is obvious. ; Neither carriers or employes can ' know what wage schedules mean or amount to unlil they know the rules i by which those schedules are to be applied. We must have our yard stick before we can measure our cloth. Manifestly rail workers cannot be expected or asked to accept a wage schedule when they have no means of knowing exactly bow much they are to receive under the schedule. It is equally manifest, also that to establish a new wase schedule before the nw agreements are negotiated would preclude the possibility of our reach-' ing any agreement through those negotiation. Urges Delay "If the rMlrbafl "management's are ,not utyerly Wind, to their own selfish interest?, they will join me in requesting the board to withhold its decision in the matter until we have the new pgreements. The delay will be no longer than the carriers themselves make it. From the day the roads were returned to private management we have endearored to secure a speedy determination of the question of agreements and the carriers rejected every overture we made. The responsibility for the delay lies with the carriers. "For this board to make a decision in this case, unless that decision be I lo re-affirm existing schedules, before! working out new agreements, wculd! be to provoke the employes anew and in perpetuate strife and misunder-j .-tanding. j Says No Justification j "We have shown there is no eco-! romic justification for a reduction in j he wages of railroad workers. We! 'iave shown that there have been no 'vflge reductions in the tasic indus- j rie that are comparable to the trans-1 rortation industry and have demon-) 'trpted that the changes in the cost' of living have not been sufficient to warrant a change in the schedules lixpd by the board in July. 1920. "The railroads, on the other hand, have proved only that they are in financial straights. Thanks to the m-nhodf of 1 lie financial buccaneers ho have always controlled them.i i hey were hard up when the govern-j "int took them over during the war. j They were hard up when they were returned to thir former management ! they are hard up today despite: 'he fact that they have received more than a billion and a half dollars from ' the treasury of an over-generous peo-j pie and that they have been given j rnte increases sufficient to cover everything except their own profli-j Ecy. And they will be hard up until , they are made the servants of the pub-; !ic instead of the playthings of Wall street. j Savs Plea Extraneous. j "Throughout thejse proceedings, thfej carriers have made but one real plea: - 'heir financial inability to pay. The! ability or inabililjf of the carriers to. pay the present wage rates has no! bearing on the case, and can have no consideration in its determination, but railroad management has made so much of this phase of the transportation problem and the public has been permitted to hear so little else that we cannot ignore the issue. "Justice to railroad employe, to the entries, and the public is not contingent upon the ability of the carriers o pay their labor co.-ts. and a return to normalcy in industry and commww does not wait upon a reduction in wage schedules. Point Real Issue. "The real issue in this case is the wages of man versus the wages of rtoney. find the time .has come for Hie people of this- country t: know an1 understand that the wages of men will never go back to pre-war poverty levels. "It is time for those who do not toil with 1hoir hands to understand and accept the principle of the living wage and to realize that the human factor in industry is the predominant, vital force in the modern civilized world. "Therefore we can rest our case secure in the belief that the rank and file of railroad workers whom we represent cannot and will not .be deprived of any measure of the esoromlc rights which are theirs because they have earned them and because they deserve them."

RICHMOND DEATH RATE FROM FLU, PNEUMONIA IS NEXT TO LOWEST PAM.ADIIM NEWS BCREAII WASHINGTON, May 5. The city of Richmond is advertised by the United States public health service in the report it has just issued on the influenza and pneumonia epidemic which swept the country ii 191S. The proportion to its population the death rate from influenza in Richmond in 1919 was next to lowest in Im ana. The city's percentage of deaths per 1.000 population was only ?.H. East Chicago was lowest with a percentage of .09. -v-,-,;-,- : Richmond's percentage of deaths from pneumonia, in all forms, in 1919, was also next to lowest in the state, its percentage of deaths per 1,000 pop ulation being 1.21. Elwood, Ind., had a percentage of only .83. Although East Chicago's death rate from influenza was the lowest In In diana, its death rate from pneumonia, in all forms, was next to highest, the percentage being 3.02 per 1,000 popu lation. This was exceeded bv Ham mond with a percentage of 3.09. Lafayette had the highest percentage of deaths from influenza, 2.82 per 1,000 population. Representative Williams, of Illinois, in addressing the house, expressed the opinion that when the American people, by a majority of 7,000,000 voted tor a change of administration they meant a change "all down the line." and he used the civil service as a target for his broadsides. In his addross Representative Williams voiced the opinion of that element in the Re publican membership which is opposed; to any policy which provides, for th continuance of first, second and third class postmasters under the merit system. "I understand the postmaster general is trying now to devise some kind of a scheme by which the civil service is to be extended further to the postmasters of the country," said Representative Williams.' "I want to express my dissent from that policy. The people of this country by 7.000 majority voted last November for a change. They did not merely mean a change of the cabinet officers and assistants. It meant a change all the way down the line. I am in favor of it, and the country is in favor, of it." Claims Fraud. . Representative Williams further ftated that in his opinion the civil service was a fraud. His frank statement that "if they are going to appoint Republicans they do not nted any civil service to do it," was greeted by a roar of laughter. And the house laughed again when the Illinois member stated his belief that some of ihe cabinet members might have difficulty passing the civil service examinations such a-s rural mail carriers and fourth class postmasters are required to rass.

CABINET OF GERMANY HOLDS OFFICE UNTIL APPOINTMENTS MADE (By Associated Press) BERLIN, May 5. The cabinet of Chancellor Fehrcnbach which last night tendered Its resignation to President Ebert, was continuing to function today in compliance with the president's request that It remain In office until a new ministry was organized... Informal conferences were Jn progTf as tocjpy vpg9 coalition Whether the present party bloc will be able to send another cabinet to the government's bench in the Reichstag Is the subject of lively conjecture in parliamentary circles, as is the question whether such a government could count on the "benevolent neutrality" of the majority socialists which is necessary for an effective, working majority. Face Critical Action. The new cabinet it is pointed out, will also be confronted with the prospect of being called upon to affix Germany's signature to the entente protocol on reparations, the nature of which had not been revealed here up to this morning. The reichstag was not In session to day, on account of this being Ascension day, but Dr. Simons, the foreign minister, agreed to discuss the situation with the reichstag's committee on foreign relations. It was known that Dr. Simons counted himself out when the delay in the reply to his appeal to President Harding indicated a negative answer. That Chancellor Febrenbacb and the rest of the cabinet would automatically disappear with Dr. Simons was a foregone conclusion, as the ministry had staked its existence on the success of its attempt to win President Harding for mediation or arbitration. The cabinet's resignation was formally presented by Chancellor Fehrcnbach at eight o'clock last night after an all day deliberation with his colleagues on the question of retiring immediately or of awaiting the decision of the London conference.

Superintendent Dillon of the muni cipa! electric light plant. In a letter to Mayor Zimmerman, it was learned today, has indicated his willingness to resign, ir it is believed that this action will promote harmony and serve the best interests of the plant. Mr. Dillon said he was prompted to take this step because of bis interest in the plant and his willingness not to stand in the way of its development, if this can be aided by his resignation. The text of h!s letter follows :

"Richmord. InJ.. May 5. 1921. j Honorable W. W. Zimmerman "Mayor of the City of Richmond, "Richmond, Indiana. "Dear Sir: It is my highest desire that nothing be left undone to secure confidence in the light plant of the city and to bring about proper support for such institution from the city council. To this end, if you feel that it would relieve the situation for me to resign my position as general manager, please understand that I am now offering to resign at any time you and the board of works see fit to accept a resignation. Willing to Sacrifice. "I would sincerely regret to leave the managership of the light plant; not on account of the salary connected with the position of manager, but for the reason that I have great pride In the work that has been undertaken. Within the next few months certain. improvements that I have fought for throughout my administration will be completed, and I believe that by the end of the present year the light plant will have become a model of its kind and the improvements recommended by me will be shown to have been justified. One naturally regrets to leave a job half finished, but I am willing to sacrifice my personal feelings and desires in the matter to accomplish what may be best for the city. "I do not want by retaining my position to embarrass you, your administration and the proper financing of the light plant. . . ,-. Will Ar.twer Questions. . "I am -willing that a most complete and thorough Investigation be made by any competent disinterested electrical engineers touching the present condition of the light plant and the improvements outlined, and im willing to publicly meet and answer any questions that may be asked me by any in terested citizens. I "I am convinced that there are cer tain unseen forces at work who desire to embarrass the operation of the light plant at this time, for their own selfish purposes, and I hope that the members of the council will not fall victims to the" plans of these forces. "I want to thank you for the confidence that you have shown in me, and I now assure you that I am willing to j relinquish my position at any time. tnaT sucn a course on my part may tend to bring about proper support to the light plant from the city council. "Respectfully, J. P. DILLON." Act cn Suggestion. At the suggestion of Councilman John Schneider, of the Eighth ward, the board of works today requested the Indiana public service commission to send a representative to Richmond to investigate the present status of the Municipal electric light plant. Engineer Carter will come to this city Friday, provided he can cancel an engagement. He was present last winter when the present improvements were outlined. Councilman Schneider's idea is that lack of confidence regarding the light plant situation will vanish if a disinterested engineer makes an impartial investigation. The board of works instructed City Attorney Reller to investigate a number of charges that have been recently made, among them that Superintendent Dillon ordered the pwer shut off for 25 minutes in West Richmond in order to obtain support for improvements at the plant; the use of taxicabs by a representative of the Lyon company, and the condemnation and sale of meters. Engineer Carter and City Attorney Reller will eollect the evidence and data on the situation in order that the truth may be ascertained. The purpose of the investigation is not to shield or protect any one, but to ascertain the facts. SCHOOL COMMISSION CHOSEN BY M'CRAY INDIANAPOLIS.

SENATE MAY ARGUE DISARMAMENT SOON; RORAH WOULD LEAD (Br Associated Press) WASHINGTON, May 5 A fight for naval disarmament proposals at an early date in the senate in opposition to the administration program was accepted as a foregone conclusion today. The naval appropriation bill was to be reported from the committee today stripped of all such features at the request of President Harding because of the international situation, but both Senators Borah, Republican, Idaho, and Pomerene, Democrat. Ohio, announced that they would fight from the floor for a disarmament conference of Great Britain, Japan and the United States. The bill is expected to come up for debate next week after disposal of the emergency tariff and anti-dumping measure. Harding Position Clear In opposing any such conference at this time, President Harding has made clear that he stands ready to urge an international agreement limiting-armaments at the first practical moment. The Borah proposal, however, would urge him to call a conference of the three powers here to discuss a reduction In naval programs and Senator Pomerene would delay the building program for six months pending efforts to gain the assent of Great Britain and Japan to join in a conference. The appropriation bill to be reported in the senate carries $100,000,000 more than was voted by the house and is practically identical with the measure which failed of passage in the senate last March. The principal increases are for a personnel 20,000 greater than the 100.000 provided for by the house, for enlarged aviation programs, development of fleet bases on the Pacific coast and for speeding up capital ship construction.
