PAGE TlUtEfl RAILROAD HEADS AND LABOR CLASH OVER WAGE SLASH Carrier Counsel Attacks High Pay As Cause of Rail Plight at Strike Hearing. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Railroad management and labor col lided head-on today before the emer gency board appointed by President Roosevelt to avert a nationwide strike. - J. Carter Fort, counsel for the car riers which have proposed a 15 per cent wage cut, attacked present rail road wages as "unreasonably high." He promised in an opening tate ment to prove these were a factor in "the desperate financial conditions of the railroad industry." This was flatly denied by Charles H. Hay, counsel for 18 brotherhoods representing some 800,000 workers. Hay argued the .present plight of railroads arose from twocauses: "Decline of gross business due to competition and, In season, to the decline in general business." "Bad financial policies and prac tices.' Hay raid a wage cut would not solve any of the problems, the need was for "a comprehensive national transportation plan for the proper regulation and correlation of all forms of transportation and the cor rection of financial abuses and a thorough -going program of reorgani zation." The pay of railroad men, Hay con tinued, had remained nearly static since 1920 while thousands of them lost Jobs, or went on part time, and other industries advanced wages. ' Fort told the three-man board la bor organizations, "and they alone." would be to blame if a strike were called. Chief Justice Walter P. Stacy of the North Carolina supreme court told representatives for carriers and the railroad brotherhoods the board's "mission Is findings of fact.' "Our desire Is to get a full picture," the tall judge remarked as he asked lawyers on each side to work out an informal agreement for dividing time. Several hundred persons, chiefly men, packed the large caucus room of the house office building more than an hour before the hearing started. CALLED DISLOYAL FOR RELIEF SLAM WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. P) War Secretary Woodrlng termed "flagrant ly disloyal" a statement issued by MaJ.-Gen. Oeorne VanHorn Moseley upon Moseley'a retirement from the army today. Retiring on reaching the statutory age of 64, Moseley, one of the army's outstanding commanders, criticized administration relief and other pol icies in his statement. Issued at Atlanta. Moseley was commanding general of the fourth corps area and the third army, with headquarters In the Georgia city. Woodrlng, In a formal statement, said : "Because he was disappointed In his ambition to, become chief of staff of the American armies. Major General George VanHorn Moseley has celebrated his retirement from mili tary service by assailing the federal government and, by Inference, attack ing hla commander-in-chief. (President Roosevelt Is commander-in-chief of the army and navy.) "As to reasons that General Craig (General Malln Craig, army chief of staff) was preferred for the Import ant post, I do not think anyone THE NEW ROXY ANN CONFECTIONERY "Where it's always cool" HOT PLATE LUNCH Southern Baked Ham or Roast Veal and Dressing 25c Hot Chocolate Made with Milk and Whipped Cream IOC Hot Fudge Sundae 15c ICE CREAM 20c qt. needs to look further than to read General Moueley'B flagrantly disloyal statement. "Obviously, the general Is entitled to hla own views on governmental and other policies, but I have an idea General Moseley's brother of ficers will be as much astonished and dismayed by this exhibition of pique and bad taste as the general run of American citizens who believe and have always accepted the theory an American officer's, loyalty to hla chief did not cease when he went off active service. "Though he retired today, be con tinued to be an officer of the army, receiving the inactive pay which in hla case la approximately $8,000 a year." At the war department, there was no indication any disciplinary action was contemplated. RELIEF COST IN STATE BOOST OF 8 MILLION. SEEN PORTLAND, Sept. 30.

(UP) A statement ridiculing Chancellor Adolf Hitler's pretentions he is "con cerned" about the welfare of the Sudeten Germans and expressing the hope the nazl regime soon would be overthrown was Issued by the tier-man-Canadian league today. "If Hitler Is really as concerned as he pretends to be about all Ger mans living outsldo the German borders, If his heart Is really bleed ing whenever he sees a fellow-German suffer, then he must not hesi tate for a moment to send very urg ent memoranda to Mussolini de manding the Immediate Improvement of the conditions In South Tyrol," the league said. It stated the German minority In Czechoslovakia was treated fairly, while Germans In the South Tyrol are "submitted to great oppression and sufferings under the dictator ship of Mussolini."

Both Sign "I have always had In mind that if we could find peace on this Czechoslovak question a way might be opn to appeasement In Europe," he said.

(AP) Adolf Hitler has effected the great est coup of his career toward his dream of a great Qermanlc confeder ation, a Germany, greater than that of the pre-war empire. Here If the way things look to many statesmen and political observ ers today: . . . Hitler, having already gained Aus tria, has made e, gigantic stride to ward hi Germanic confederation by which uazis aspire to become a dom inant power of Europe. What Czechs Gain The war-born Czechoslovak repub lic gives up territory of industrial wealth, and may, therefore, be re duced to an Ineffectual small state over which Germany can command economic supremacy. ;. The reduction in size and economic power of Czechoslovakia will mater ially weaken the powerful military machine Prance sponsored in east ern Europe as a safeguard against German, aggression. That machine was the Little Entente Czechoslo vakia, Yugoslavia and Rumania. A weakened Czechoslovakia would eliminate her as what Germany in the past always considered a spring board for potential Russian attack. An over-lordshlp of Czechoslovakia would open the flaod-gates for Ger nan economic control of the Bal kans. It is an old dream of the former German " kaiser more near than ever before to reality. Already Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bul garia and Greece are friendly and rapidly becoming members of the German economic circle. Rumania Is outside that family, thus far, but Germany continues overtures there with her eyes on Rumanian soil. . SIGN AGREEMENT OAKLAND.

The meeting's chair- ! man, Guy Jusserand. president of he state board of agriculture, hesi tated but when he called for the I vote only a few stood. To calls of "now the other vote" Josserand replied, "Well, we'll all get up when we leave anyway." The assembled farmers cheered the new deal cabinet members advocacy of a processing tax for wheat as an alternative to price-fixing proposals.' In a cheerful mood they booed Casement as he rose to assail the AAA program as "bribery to farm ers" and to declare "We can't have planned economy in a democracy and If this is carried through it will destroy our demorcacy." The crowd cheered when Josserand praised the Manhattan stockman for his "courage and ability.' Casement spoke after Wallace had mentioned the Farmers' " Liberty league, organized In Kansas with Casement's aid. After Casement's ' remarks. Albert Marti, of Burdette. said from the balcony "Let us farmers reduce the acreage even if the government never gives us a dime give us a square deal and we farmers can take care of ourselves." "Mrs. Chester Dunn, of Cowley county, assailed the program, asking Wallace. "Why do you not let lis (farmers) vote on this I ( demand this right," She told the meeting "After you learn your penalties you will not be for it." , WAR AVERTED BY CEDING SUDETEN AREA TOJITLER (Continued lnxn Page One.) areas Inhabited by minorities of their nationals. The Munich Agreement pre pared the way for satisfaction of their claims by negotiation within three months, Russia, which was a defensive ally of Czechoslovakia but wftlch was not Invited to the Munich meeting, re garded the solution as anything but satisfactory.
