Railroad ir.au-re-rs were advised b the United .a teg railroad labor board to get to gether with their employes ad work tun a "sensible settlement" of wai-'e controversies here today. The uosrd ur.gested that the employers get. to gether with their men when the tuan- ;gers presented a petition asking im mediate abrogation of the national agreements and reduction of wages: of r,0'.oM) unskilled workers.

Atterbury declred that the rail road situation was so critical that unless the board gives immediate re- j iief by granting the petition, the rail- j roads will be forced to asK lor a general wage reduction.

They charged that he had, by delivering what they termed "an ultimatum" to the labor board, "vio lated all decent proprieties, disre garded the transportation act, and flouted exirtinir agencies such as the interstate commerce commission amH even congress itself." General Atterbury's obvious policy, the telegram said, was "to disrupt labor unions. turn public opinion against the employes and place wages on a tire-war basis so that railway profits may be enhanced when pros-; perity returned." The shipper would! have to pay increased rates and the; laborer would be exploited, if (Jen-! eral Atterbury had his way, the; union men declared. Would Pay "Prevailing" Wage Chicago, Jan. 31.
