RAILWAY WAGES BEFORE MEETING, First Time In Two Years. That.. Snohj Discussion Has Been Encaged In. 1 Washington, March 10?Representa-j tives of railroad labor and railroad! officials will confer tomorrew on the! question of wages for the first time In I more than two years. Committees act-j ing for the recognized railroad laborl unions and the associations of Railway! Executives will meet to' arrange the preliminaries for the formation of a jo;nt board which will thresh out pending and future wage controversies. The first work of the joint board when permanently organized will be to deal with the demand for a wage increase by all rail workers which has been before President Wilson and which was the subject of negotiations between the labor representatives and Director General Hines for a month immediately prior to the termination of federal control. As a basis for this discussion, the board will have the suggestion of President Wilson that consideration should .be given the advance in the cost of living and the rolatinnqhin nf railroad labor Dav to that in other lines of industry. Mr. Hines saw the president today but it was said the meeting was only for the purpose of showing him what JOHN A. HOLLAND, The Greenwood Piano Man.

While declaring that they would enter the negotiations 'with a spirit of cooperation" railroad officials explained that any wage increase must be predicted of course on the revenue they can gain through increased rates It was eviderit tonight that neither committee desired to allow the disputed questions to be taken from the joint board to the railroad labor board created by the transportation act, if such could be avoided. The railroad labor board?the court of appealssoon will be formed and empowered to call all controversies before it when there is danger of a deadlock in the joint body. All of the labor groups were said tonight to have made their nominations to the railroad labor board, and three groups into which the 16 affiliated organizations were divided by the Interstate Commerce commission being required to submit the names of at least two men from each group. The shop crafts, comprising the third group, have chosen, A. 0. Wharton president of'the railway employee department of the American Federation! of Labor and B. M. Jewell who, while Mr Wharton has been serving on the wage adjustment board under the railroad administration has been acting president of the affiliated railroad employees. Spokesmen for the two other groups probably will make them public tomorrow. FIND FOR FIGHTING BOLL , I WORM INCLUDED IN BILL Washington, March 10.?An Tappro-!
