Bankers, Employes and Certain

Washington. March 12. That;. the
railroads , are heading straight j; to-
ward federal control again Is the
opinion. In Washington - Quarters
where most consideration is given to
rauroaa arairs.
J The announced intention of the Penn
tsylvanla is to cut wages and the pre
paratory steps In that direction taken
, by the Missouri. Kansas A Texas and
the St. Louis-San Francisco, with the
certainty that such action will result in
tbs men on those lines quitting work, is
held to make renewed government ?p-
eratlon . Inevitable. It is expected, f ur
ther, to result In a. greater movement in
'favor of government ownership than has
tyet been started In this country. ;
imi'vvna utt T.innn I . s
i . The most significant thing now oc
curring in American railroad affairs is
not the controversy of the railroad ex
ecutive and the railroad union officials
before the railroad wage board in Chi
cago, and not : the announced cut in
wages by the roads named. It "is a
series df .negotiations started secretly 10
days ago between representatives of
.certain Important banking i houses and
- certain representatives of organized
7iabor over the heads of the railroad
executives. The initiative came from the
T hanks in question, not from the men tak
CTng an important part in the pour par-'-irr,
most of which have been conducted
-tn New York, although the first meeting
-was a quiet two-man meeting In. Wash
ington' with a member of the federal
bench, known to have the confidence of
Mabor. .. -
BAJfttS SEEK PROTECTION i ;
The interest of the banks in the mat-
-Js'ew York banks, these have dealt large
ly in railroad securities In' the past.
-They are not now troubled by the pos
session of such securities to any, great
extent, but desire W protect the public
.-and the . quasi-public institutions to
.which they have passed them on. Rail.
' ."general public and 'that , Is where most
--of them are iow. . i r
cne oantcer, inieresteu in, tne negotia
tions now progressing, has said ; that
U t- day of mi'icad financing as part if
-tne banking buriness is over. It vaa
-profitable, he said, but now the banks
-must give it up, in the interest of the
jwhole business community. What . he
-jntant was that the banks, must - be
-ready to allow the railroads to pass out
jDf private hands or private control at
-.the least in order to avn!d wholesale
receiverships . which would paralyse

Concerning Sail Is and her experience

said to a Universal Bervlce reporter :
"If I had two 'automatics, as he
claims, I'd have used them on him.
Draved to him not to abuse me
prayed as I never prayed ; before. The
reason he 'talked and lied about me is
that I failed to i pay him sufficient
money . to bribe him into silence,'
This is a country of magnificent dis
tances ; of dipping horlson lines, fine,
clean winds, that should blow away 'the
dust .that clogs 'human lives; greed,
malice! intolerance. There is - almost
constant sunshine.! The langour of the
South mating with the tang of the west
bears offspring of potential kindness.
But hearts of men and women' go on
beating. Flesh they are. and not depth
nor breadth nor an evening sky like

changed them nor will.

SHIPPERS TO MEET f j
i Shippers will take a hand in the bat-1
tie between railroad managers with their
workers Monday,' when, they meet in '
conference here on the rate situation.
The shippers position was outlined by
Clifford Thorne, an attorney for ship
pers organisations. He said:
"It is hardly fair to expect labor to
absorb all the reductions. The high
passenger and freight rates were estab
lished to produce increased revenue to
the railroad companies as well as in
creased wages. That attempt failed. We
should now try to put rates back on a
basis which would not seek to accom
plish either of these results. And then
business will revive. This would be for
the benefit of all of us. It will help
labor. It will help the railroads. It
will help business.'' ,
Thorne -'said he was confident a re
duction in freight and passenger rates
is contemplated by railroads If they
get the wage cut. -
