LABOR WAGE CUT CONSIDERED TODAY Railway Labor Board to Listen To Arguments?One Hundred Road* Chicago, April 17.?Railway managements of nearly 100 carriers were prepared tonight to launch their first big drive tomorrow for a reduction of labor wages. A consolidated hearing, at which wage disputes will be presented from throughout the country, will "begin- tomorrow before the United States railroad labor board. All of the roads asK a reduction in un skilled labor wages and several ask blanket reductions for all em ployees. It was indicated tonight that the question of the legality of the board conducting the hearing with three vacancies unfilled and only six mem bers present would be brought up at the opening session. The nomina tions for the vacancies were sent to the senate for confirmation by Pres I ident Harding Saturday, but some of the parties to the present dispute were understood to be seeking delay until the new members are present. By a recent ruling of the board all wage schedules presented for de cison up to date will be included in the hearing., Sixty roads had been J - ?U?J 1?. J J -i U?1.T (lOC&eveu yesvCKiay auu aw acaow uaIX of that number remained to be add ed tomorrow. According to railway officials each carrier is expected to be present its own testimony. Representatives of the roads will appear first. The board recently announced that eight hours would be allowed each side for oral testimony and argument. The employment, whose commit tee will be headed by B. M. Jewell, president of the railway department of the American Federation of La bor, will handle their case through the union organization representa tives. Heads of four of the big brotherhoods will be present to con duct the defense in disputes pro posed by the roads which desire to eat wages of train service em ployees. Under the transportation act con ferences must be held between the carrier and its employees on any question of revised wages or work ing conditions. The disputes to be taken up tomorrow all have resulted from failure to agree in such con ferences. THREE MEN NAMED FOR LABOR BOARD Harding Sends Nominations To Sen ate-?Surprise to Public Washington, April 16.?Nomina tions to fill the three vacancies on the railroad labor board, considered particularly important because of the controversy between^the roads and their employees, were sent to the senate today by President Hard ing. As labor's representative on the board the president named Walter L. McMenimen, acting president of the Brotherhood of Railway Train men and a prominent figure in re cent negotiations between the rail road unions and manswrsi Snmiipl Higgins of New York, a former gen eral manager of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railway, was named to represent the manage ment group, while former Gov. Ben W. Hooper, of Tennessee was given the vacant place allotted to a repre sentative of the public. All three of the nominations caus j ed more, or / less surprise, none of i the :.jnen named having figured | prominently-, in gossip about the va | canc.ies which occurred yesterday at ! the expiration of the terms of three members who :were one year ap pointments when the board was or ganized. Another element of sur prise was the fact that Mr. Hooper's name uceu &MUW11 to oe promi* nently under consideration for the vacant commissionership of internal [ revenue. Quick confirmation by the sen | ate is expected by administration of ficials so that the board may have its ' membership complete when it takes up the problem of wage readjust ment ordered several days ago. The British Indin atives religious scruple against killing any living j creature, even a venomous reptile is a potent cause of the hieh mor tality of that country each year ; from the attacks of serpents and wild beasts. I WASHINGTON FOLK SCORN FIRST STRAW "Wear 'Em and Weep" Bradley Discover!. Persons going to Washington with in the next few days might do well to consult W. R. Bradley, internal revenue collector, before making the trip with reierence to wnat styie ol hat should be worn on the trip to the national capital. Mr. Bradley re turned from Washington yesterday and his attempt to rush the season on the capital folk leaked out soon after his arrival. The genial collector left here sev eral days ago with a perfectly re spectable brand new straw hat on, there being no objections raised by Columbia to the wearing of suck\ a lid. Washington society aa4 the gen eral public there has a different view of straw hats and the collector came near being mobbed with his new bon_ net placed correctly on his head. As Mr. Bradley walked down a Washington street he noticed several nrnman friuinff Vlim A Cllte fiTTin and " """"" O * -*"0 this came to be more and more no_ * ticed as he met more women until the "chief' was about to decide that the grinning season was on when a man with a felt hat came along and gave the*collector a tip as to what was wrong. This gent accosted Mr. Bradley and remarked that he wished he had the nerve of some people pulling off his hat and pointing to the chapeaiu of Mr. Bradley. Mr. Bradley then realized where the trouble was and kept away from the crowd. Later on he got into an automobile and things began to look stormy again, numerous people look, ing as if they would like to take a grab at the new straw lid. The "chief" then decided that discretion was the better part of valor, as they say in the story books, and silently slid the bonnet off to the bottom of the automobile. Another scare came when the col_ lector dropped into a movie house in Washington and saw a demonstra tion against "the first straw hat," this demonstration being on the >!?/>?? nv>A timrino Kaon fnlfon fli". fl dUiCCU auu IMTHlg WVV*t w.r ?. baseball game. Mr. Bradley was rather uneasy lest some well mean ing citizen might spy his headgear and cause a demonstration in the theater. However, he escaped seri ous injury, only suffering a few rude shocks and being set back as to his opinion on hats and arrived home safely and to show his fighting spir it wore the'same hat all yesterday afternoon.?The State.
