UNION LABOR OPPOSED TO REDUCED WAGES Railroad Labor Organi zations Decide to lake Referendum Vote on Labor Board's Wage Cut Chicago, July 5.?The member ship oi 10 raiiiuau la nor organiza tions including the Big four Brothernooas, will ueciae througn a rererendum vote by Septem oer 1 wnetner to accept or reject the 12 per cen.. wage reduction that wem into ecect on ranroaas throughout the country Juiy 1, it was aeciaed tonight by cniet ex ecutives and l,oou general chair men ot the orgamaztions. The general chairmen decided they could not assume responsi bility tor the wage reduction icnat was "ordered by tne railroad iauor board. E. H. Fitzgerald.' president of the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight Han dlers, Express and Station em ployees said that "nothing can be expected ot the railroad employees interested in the decision ot the labor board execpt to resist to tne fullest extent the reduction In rates of pay and proposed abroga tion of certain favorable condi tions. Responsibility for accepting wage reductions that went into et fect on ail railroads July 1, can not be accepted by the general chairmen representing the Brotn erhod of Locomotive Engineers, Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire men and Enginemen, Order of Railway Conductors, Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Switchmen's Union of North Amer ica, they votejd itoday. The chairmen adopted resolu tions declaring that not later than September 1, the matter should '"be referred to the mem bership through the various gener al committees for acceptance or rejection." They also authorized their chief executives to make ar rangements, if possible, to meet a committee of railway executives to be selected to met'a substitute committee of the five organiza tions "to consider and if possible adjust all matters in controversy." The chief executives and com mittees handling these matters were directed in the resolution to clearly place the representatives of the railway corporations on record as to whether or not they will request further decreases in rates or compensation, the aboli tion of schedules or regulations, or the elimination of time and one-half time.'* "The resolution further stated' that, the ballot when-submitted to the<men sh^U contain an impartial and' unbiased recital of ail that is involved and the wishes of the' men by ballot shall determine.the. matter, "in accordance with, it he i laws of .the organization.." An nouncement- was' made- that the resolution(would be considered by the properly constituted authori ties of the.other standard recog nized railroad labor organiaztions and that it was expected they would announce their positions within 4S hours. The resolution said that the general chairmen were "required not only to consider a wage reduc ition, but in many instances rail road officers have served notice of their intention to abolish time and one-half for overtime in road freight and yard service, and in addition thereto, to revise sched ules for the benefit of the rail roads by abolishing many rules and conditions, which in the ag gregate mean it he loss of much money and the ceration of less fa vorable conditions for the various classes of employees." "Much uneasiness and unrest exist," the resolution continued, "which cause deep concern and add to the seriousness of the sit uation, and establish a condition of affairs which makes it prac tically impossible for the general chairman to take the responsibil ity of deciding these important questions for the reason mat we hold that no reduction in wages of the various classes is justifiable." The resolutions directed :he executive officers to call to the at tention of those in authority "the fact that certain carriers, namely the Missouri and North Arkansas railway and the Atlanta. Birming ham and Atlantic railroads have disregarded the decisions and flouted the authority of the rail road labor board." The general chairman said the resolutions were adopted "despite all these provocative circum stances, coupled with a common desire to refrain from taking ac tion that might precipitate a de plorable situation." Approximately !.r>i><> delegates from system organizations of the big four brotherhoods, the shop crafts, the maintenance of way men. telegraphers, clerks and switchman, met here, last Friday to canvass the situation that re sulted from the 12 per cent, re duction order by the labor board. It is understood that the resolu tion contained the recommenda tion of the committee of Jive ap pointed to attempt to find a solu tion of the matter and report back to the delegates. tol^^x^Tll~ board max Ex-Convicts Wish to Re store Jewelry to Prove There is Honor Even mong Thieves By the Associated Press.

LEADERSHIP PARTY'S PROBLEM Byrnes, of South Caro lina, Seriously Consid ered?Young and Very Popular Washington, July 5.?Two Dem ocratic members ol congress, lienn ! er oi them from the soutn Atlan I tic section, were aiscussmg tne ! question oi party leadership m tne \ House of representatives, i They weie in agreement that ' the enormous Republican major ; ity is very ineffectively led at tnis j time and that it does noo seem j to be developing much that is very i promising in tne way of substitute ! material. I They thought the situation de j ciciediy better on tne Democratic I side, though they did not consiuer tne present gumance of the mi nority by any means equal to tnat j whicn prevailed when senator Un j derwood was tne Democratic house ? leader. Claude Kitchin, of North Caro i lina. the nominal Democratic I leader, a whirwind in aebate, but is not able to exert himself be cause of his healtn. Kepresenta i tive Garrett, of Tennessee, tne ! acting leader, is a forcetul, earn est aebater and an expert parlia I rnentarian, but is hanoicapped by Ja certain habitual appearance of j gloom which may be mistaken for ' moroseness by tnose who do not j Know him weil. However, to return to the two i Democratic members who were j discussing the leadership question. "Who do you think," asked one of them, "would be the best man in all-round qualifications that the (Democrats could pick for 'their leader in the house today, if they had to make a new selection and were not requierd to adhere strictly to seniority?" ine other congressman ponder ed for a few moments. Then he ?said, with emphasis indicating conviction: "I think the best man we could pick would be-little Jimmy Byrnes of South Carolina. He is* making headway in leadership faster than any other man in the house in my opinion. He is a convincing and attractive talker, a hard worker and student, a ready debater, and I is popular on both sides of the i chamber. He is a veteran in ex ? perience, but young in years." j "By George. I believe you are ! right." said the member who had !asked the question. ! In 1911 when Representative i Byrnes first came to congress, the i writer was struck with the quick i ness and ease with which the !youthful Carolinian, 'then perhaps j the youngest man in the house. , learned the ropes and won the I good will.of his colleagues in gen ! eral. Since then Byrnes has ac jcomplished in ten years' what is ; rarely accomplished in less than [twenty and In many cases is not I accomplished even then, because j of the lack of some essential qual | iticati?n of, leadership. * There are twenty-three Demo crats who have been in the house, ; longer than "Jimmy" Byrnes, but ! j only a few of them would be se-, i riously considered for the floor di- i j rection of their party. The major I ity of them would no doubt them selves assert that they are not (suited for it. There need be no j i occasion for surprise if in a few1 j years the young Carolinian is at' [the head of the house Democracy. -? ? ??

The statement will I be filed with the majority report j of the committee which, it is ex- & ! nected. will be submitted to the i house tomorrow. Mr. Frear's attack, while pre dicated on the "atrocity" of the dye color control provisions, em braced many other features of the ! bill. The Wisconsin member de- | clare.d the rates of duty to be ex cessive in scores of instances and added that .they would lead to ex i actions by "trusts and monopo lies." thus increasing the burden the people must carry. Mr. Frear referred to the argu ment that protection for the dye manufacturers was necessary for national defense, and asked why it [was necessary to assume that the ?nation would be thrown into a j great war and at the same time ! "to grant practically exclusive rights' of dye manufacture to a recognized monopoly." "Protection, the keystone of Re {publican doctrine, is thrown to the i wind in the chemical dye sched j ule." Mr. Frear said, j The question which must be de icided by Republicans in congress. !he added, was, "can the bill as drawn be defended?". Its critics.

I Rejection was voiced by Mr. ] Frear to provisions which would ; pass ;o the tariff commision "leg 1 islative functions" in the deter mination of whether dye chemi cals may or may not enter cus i toms.
