Program Indicates New Cabi. net will Lean Toward Friendship with Eng land and America. BY KARL H. VON WIEGAND, Special Cable Dispatch. Berlin. Oct. 18.—The program of the hew German government which is to follow the Wlrth cabinet already has been practically laid out. / The new cabinet will lean toward a friendship for England and America and work for an international finan cial congress which will stabilize ex change. In addition to that it will demand a moratorium period in repa ration payments. According to a statement from an authoritative quarter, that is the pro gram of the people's party, often called the Stlnnes party, if that party par ticipates in the making up of the new government. If the people's party leads in the cabinet building Herr Streseman, head of the party and who is very close to Hugo Htlnnes, is looked upon as the next foreign minister, and he in turn is expected to support Dr. Rosen, the present foreign minister, for the post of ambassador to America. Predictions Monday night in politi cal circles which consider themselves well informed are that the Wirth cab inet will resign not later than Wed nesday. The League of Nations’ decision on Upper Silesia, whatever it may be in legal phraseology, will finish the pres ent government. In some quarters the blame for the British approval of the League of Nations’ decision regard ing Upper Silesia is laid to the Wein baden agreement with France. Conferences of political party lead ers continued all day. The people’s party leaders declare their entrance into the new government will mean a sharp turn in the foreign policy in Germany in the direction of America and Great Britain.

BY EARL L. SHAUB, Chicago, Oct. 18.—While working iut plans to meet the threatened rail road strike some of the executives of roads centering in Chicago said tonight they did not believe there would be a general walkout. “The strike order has not been is sued and I d,o not believe It will be,” said one high official who declined to let his name be used. "X believe the union leaders have too much sense to call a strike now.” J. C. Gllllck, general manager of" the Chicago, Milwaukee and Bt. Paul, expressed the same belief. “Frankly, I do not believe there will be a strike,” he said. "I know there is a lot of talk but the men on our road have made no demand and voiced no complain*. “I will be perfectly willing to diis cuss the question when I see the sTrike order,” said the president of another line, "but I do not believe that I will ever sea iL” "Nothing to Do But Strike.” Union leaders, however, spoke in a different key. While some of them would not bo surprised to see some klpd of a settlement others are of the opinion that there is nothing to do but strike. The lack of harmony is said to be due to the demand of the unions af filiated with the American Federation of Labor for an agreement with the “Big Four" brotherhoods to stick to the strike call. It is pointed out by some that since the operating unions have fewer men b is possible that the railroads would seek a separate settlement with them and then, with trains running, defeat the other crafts. J. L. Smock, vice president of the maintenance of ways laborers, said there is no friction between the unions but at the same time the federated bodies want to know just where the “Big Four” chiefs stand. Dissension In the Ranks. We want to find out where the four big brotherhoods stand,” he said “There is apparently some dessenslon in the ranks and we want to know if we will have their support if we strike. We will call for a showdown when we meet Wednesday.” Leaders of all the unions outside the “Big Four” will attend Wednea day's meeting. W. F. Whitney, vice president of the trainmen, said the report of a threatened break between the unions is propaganda. “That is Just what the railroads are after—a split in our ranks," he said, “if the strike goes into effect it is will go out. The ‘Bit Four’ brother will go out. The "Big Four” brother hoods will give the other unions what they want, I believe." John Granau', leader of the so called "outlaw" switchmen's strike of a year ago said today he d(id not be lieve there would be a walkout. He claimed his organization has 60,000 members but denied reports that they would act as strike breakers. “There are thousands of our mem bers walking the streets while their families suffer,” he said. "Why? Be cause when we struck in 1920 for 160 days the recognized brotherhoods’ leaders established strike breaking agencies in all terminals affected by our movement, causing our defeat.” A further indication of the confi dence of executives was seen in the fact that the Erie railroad today an nounced an immediate reduction in the pay of maintenance of way la borers. The cut will be from 87 hi cents an hour to 30 cents an hour. The Erie contended wages of track men had not been cut. It was ex plained certain track work had been “let out” on contract and that the contractor would pay only 30 cents an hour. Where work is done by the road direct it will pay 37 ^4 cents an hour, the usual scale.

E. SHEPPARD President of Order of Railway Conductors Sets Out Griev ances of Organization In Signed Statement. Cedar Rapids, la., Oct. 18.—L. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors. Monday gave out the following statement on the railroad strike situation: “The conductors, an admittedly In telligent and conservative class, have, by an overwhelming vote, decided to strike with their fellow employes be cause of a deep feeling of resentment regarding unfair treatment by their employers and as a protest against further encroachment on their con servatism and the conditions sur rounding their employment. "The last Increase in wages was given long after the world war was over. During the war they kept their promise to the president of the United States not to strike and not a singlo strike of conductors occurred, al though they received less compensa tion during government control than any other cIubs except engineers. “They are prepared at this time to risk their all because the United States Railroad Labor Board, when they Increased compensation and when they authorized the making of this present decrease, Ignored the es sential features contained In section 307 of the transportation act of 1920 und failed, from the conductors' standpoint, to do their duty in ac cordance with that section which would entitle them to more consider ation. These factors are: "The scale of wages paid similar j kinds of work in other Industries; the [ hazards of the employment; the train ing and skill required; the degree of responsibility; the character and reg ularity of the employment; the in equalities of Increases In wages *r of treatment, the result of previous wage orders or adjustment. "Conductors In all freight service are practically piece workers. As business falls off, trains become less In number and conductors are out of service or fall back to their former positions as brakcmen. Conductors are paid far less than any other class of men filling responsible positions or acting as supervisors of the labors of other men. They have never request ed Increased compensation based on the cost of living but requested the same In accordance with the factors herein enumerated and they refuse to accept a reduction on the basis of a reduced cost of living."

BY WILLIAM J. HUSKE, Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. IS.—Preparing tor a fight to the death with the executives of the railroads of the United States, officials of the "Big Four" railway brotherhoods and of the Switchmens’ Union of North America are ready for any eventual ity but willing to treat for peace if a move Is made in that direction by President Harding or some high gov ernment authority. They are, however, frankly skep tical of any peaceful outcome, ac cording to expressions made here but while going ahead with their plans for a nation wldie tieup of the coun try’s land transportation system, are unwilling to close the door of hope to a peaceful settlement. Failure of L. E. Sheppard, presi dent of the Order of Railway Con ductors, T. C. Cashen, president of the Switchmens union, to arrive here Monday prevented a general confer ence which was planned to discuss strike details. Their absence, how ever. did not prevent the unions which will be Involved in the tieup if it comes, to the test, from making all preparations for unity of action in the forthcoming struggle. Refuse General Statement. Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers, W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and Enginemen, were the three union executives In the city Monday, they Issued several Impromptu statements regarding phases of the strike but refused to issue a general statement. Both of these leaders were inclined to strongly diocount statements eman utlng from Chicago that union rail way employes belonging to unions af filiated with the American Federation of Labor would insist upon a show down, and a written treaty not to rnako peace except upon certain lines to be defined in advance. “I nm distinctly an opportunist,” said W. G. Lee, of the trainmen broth erhood. ”1 do not favor a strike, but the members of the union voted for one. I cun see no way now to avert the tieup of all the railroads aside from a miracle, l’erhaps there is some man in the United States who can perform one, but if there is he is hid ing his Identity with great success. “As to statements from Chicago that we must agree to certain terms in advance, 1 huve nothing to Bay. The strike has been voted by my union. I and every other official am bound by the result and now that the issue Is drawn I am prepared to go as far j ob any man to -win. Peace may come without a clash, but I fear not. This is not the time for union men to ♦ quarrel over responsibility or honor. It is a time to draw the ranks close, and stand firm." Warren S. Stone, of the engineers, scoffed at the suggestion coming from the publicity group of the railroad labor board that wage reductions al ready made be passed on to the public in the way of freight reductions. “It is one of the best Wall street jokes I ever heard.” he said, and added that by the time the reduction trickled through the hands of the “middle men" it would mean a reduction of about “to of 1 per cent, to the public.” An appeal from the American Le gion that the strike date be postponed for one week to permit the legion to hold its nnnual convention in Kansas City was received late Monday by President W. G. Lee. So far as known he has made no direct reply, but stat ed to Universal Service *’-•-* he was powerless to act on the request. BY HAROLD D. JACOBS. United Pres* Staff Correspondent. Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 18.—Meeting of union labor heads here to make final plans for the October 30 strike ■was postponed today until Wednes day. It had been scheduled for Tues day. While no explanation of the delay was forthcoming from union chiefs, the delay was considered significant in view of the probable proposal of President Harding to summon the labor leaders to Washington for a conference with the employers. Several of the union heads, includ ing Warren S. Stone and W. G. Lee. declared that if President Harding asked them to \Vashlngton for a con ference, they would go willingly. While the Brotherhood, of Railroad Trainmen on the International & Great Northern (Texas) have been authorized by their president to walk out at noon October 23, It is not ex pected they will go alone as the other organizations are scheduled to strike on Octobei 30. James A. Baker, re ceiver for the roads, wired Mr. Lee this morning, asking whether it was correct that the trainmen had been authorized to walk out October 22. Mr. Lee answered him in the affirma tive. The son of the high priest of the Parsees, of India, Is now a student In Columbia university. Of America, the land that yearly sends missionaries to India to teach the heathen, he says: "You are not rellgiagai enough. You need more spiritual ure. more serious thought.'
