RAIL LEADERS SEE DELAY IN

WA0LB00S Say Congress Will Take Six Months To Settle On Commission Plan. n.T United Tr: WASHINGTON. Aug. 2 Iliads of three of the four big railroad unions today condemned placing in the hinds of congress the demands of thdr members for Immediate wag Increases proportionate to increased living costs. The union heads were W. G. Ie. president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen; T K. Sheppard, president of tho Brotherhood of Hallway Conductors and Timothy Shea, president of the brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Knglneme n. Organized railway workers will refuse to be controlled, the olliclals f iiil, if they become convinced their demands must be passed upon by a commission which must first be created by special legislation in congress. That the railroad administration has no money to grant immediate Increases was made clear by Pres't Wilson In letters to house and Senat committees, in which he proposed creation of the commission to sarvev the wiges of all rail workers j ami ueciue on increases wnicn would i ! mandatory upon the interstate; rouirv-rce commission for increased ) fi tsrht and passe nger rates. Noes Long Delay. "Putting the demands up to congress would mean a delay of six months and perhaps a year," said She pi ard, who has asked an average! :'.r percent increas for 0 0 0 condti lory. "This would be unsatisfactory to the men who have been wait ing months. They are now in no! mood to wait longer although we all j f :-c! that both Pres't Wilson and Kail Tir rtor nines want to help the men." "'f will not be able to control the m.m if this is the answer to our demands." said Pres't Lee. "For years ve-'ve b n forced to give them this brand of medicine which reMilteM m delay. They're- immune to it now. I would not recommend su h a solution to them." i i .iae ever commence m rres I Wil.-oTi and Direetor Hines," said! Pres't Shea, "but if this means they j hae turned o er to congress the matter of wage increases, it also nie.ms a lonu 'delay and I fear the n;en will refuse to wait and will strike." Will Walt No linger. "1 will only say that in my opinion the railroad workers of the country will not stand for another survey of th- entire wage situation." said Fres't Warren S. Stone of the Frotheihood of Locomotive Knt;ineer:. "I don't know whether this is the president's answer to our statement to him th'vt the cost of living must be lowered er we would be forced t o tl-mand wace increases. If it is intend d as the answer, I can see tuthin-r in it tlit means a reduction In livinc: costs."

S SOVIET SYSTEM Bela Kun and Entire Red Cabinet Resign to Save Country, Report. r.y t idied ITc!m: VIi;XXA. Aug. 1. ( Delayed) Hungary's soviet government experiment ended today, according to reports from Pudapest. when Hela Kun and the entire red cabinet resigned. The move followed a conference of several hours, during which the commissaries decided that capitulation of the bolshevik government was tne only means of saving Hungary, due to the recent military defeats. A socialist democratic coalition government is being formed under leadership of Julius Peidl who is premier. Hungarians have decided to give up the soviet system for good, according to the reports. The socialists and democrats attempted a government in Hungary immediately following overthrow of the Hapsburg regime. The two partiej were equally represented in the Karolyi cabinet, until thVy resigned as a protest against the allied armistice terms. The socialistdemocratic party is the strongest in Hungary and favors a constitutional republic form of government. It has advocated compliance with the demands of the allies, in order to make peac as soon as possible. NI) I IATI FI CATI f N", Aug. 2.
