W'nges en the Pennsylvania nnd ether
rnllreads of the country must be still
further reduced or the railroads will
face n receivership or Oovernment own
ership, Cienernl W. W. Atterbury told
the empleyes today.
The Pennsylvania vlee president In
charge of operation was explicit in these
statement-! nt the annual meeting of the
.Mutual Heneficlal Association of the
railroad, in the assembly room of the
Chamber of Commerce.
"We in the railroad business cannot
segregate ourselves from the rest of the
country, any mere than the Unlteu
States can segregate itself from the rest
of the world." lie said.
"The Industrial and financial su
premacy of the United States Is new
unquestioned, yet we nre suffering right
new from one of the grcntcst panics we
ever had. The world wants what we
manufacture, nnd we, with six or seven
millions of men out of employment, want
the opportunity te sell the world what
ever we can manufacture. That same
problem exist all ever the world.
Liquidation Only Solution
"Therei Is only one solution te the
problem, nnd that Is liquidation. Hew
will it effect us? 'Well,' the farmers
say, 'we have liquidated, and are selling
wheat nt $1 a bushel.' The industries
say they. tee. have liquidated. They
claim steel is selllnj at pre-war prices,
for exnmple. Put there are two out
standing features in liquidation that nre nre
net yet materially touched tnese are
e.i! 'ind trunsortntien.
"IJeth, curiously enough, have beer.
I mi eh 1 with the damning effect of
Government control. Then, tee, the
farmers are united, and the Industries
are solidly united. They Iwth say te
the railroads, '(let your rates down or
we will set them down for you.
"Pcrhnps yet: have noticed refeienees
te group eontiel In Congress. Well.
tlint is one of the tilings in their mind--rr.te
low "ring.
"New, the question is, what does it
reduction in rates nienn te us? Yeu
In the ncceuuting department knew our
(amines tedav are Insufficient te meet
inteiest. sinking fund charges nnd divi
dends. Whatever we are doing new is
nt the sacrifice, of the property.
Must Cut Still Mere
"Already there has been a 112 per
cent reduction in wngcR. It has af
fected its all. Yeu, who are in close
touch with operation, knew better than
I whether there can be a still further
reduction in operation costs, or use of
material. There is nothing much left
but a still further reduction in wages.
"It is net pleasant for me te have te
suggest te jeu this matter, nor is it
pleasant for you te hear. That is fae
inging us, unless we want a receiver
ship, or (Jnvernment ownership."
When the empleyes, wiie crowded the
room, men and women, heard this, they
gazed at each ether with blank fnces.
The group seated upon the platform
behind General Atterbury gazed straight
ahead.
The General resumed. "Is it in the
mind of nn.v of jeu hen. thai th- Penn
sylvania Railroad .vants te be put into
the same category with the army, with
Government eleiks, or letter carriers?
Fer notoriously, nil Government em em
peoyes nre underpaid, net underpaid for
what they de, but by the standards
with which we judge them.
"If a receivership comes te the coun
try 's railroads, there will be nothing
left then for them te de but te re
duce wnges. We must view this sltuu sltuu
tien as citizens of n great country,
with a duty te perform outside of our
own individual selfish" feelings. Ilntes
must come down. If it Is net voluntary.
It will be lereed by legislation.
Wants Facts Made Plain
"I wish the association would ap
point strong committees tluougheut the
entire territory of the read, nnd I
wisli these committees would get the
fuels iih I have tried te give them, then
go back and tell the membership what
Is facing the officers and empleyes,
"If this tiling tins te be done, let us
de it with intelligence. 1 premise that
when the smoke blows nwuy from the
liquidation bound te c-enie te this coun
try the Pennsylvania Railroad empleyes,
If they io-eierate. will come out with
better stnndatds of living and wnges
than the empleyes of any ether railroad
in tiie country."
As General Atteibury was leaving the
room he wns called back by the chair
man. "Everybody in this room who is
with the general in this raise Ids band,"
called the chairman. All hands were
mised The general th linked them for
their support nnd departed.

A violent Ku Klux "Klash" within the Klnn's leadership new presages
a Ku Klux "Kellapsc."
Edward Yeung Clarke insists en quitting as Imperial Klcaglc with a
string tied te the financial end of his contract, however.
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, the "Enchantress of the Invisible Empire," calls
Clarke "weak-kneed" and rails at him as storm clouds gather ever the
order.
Te this development of n house divided against itself may be added
anether symptom of the fall of the "Invisible Empire."
The thinking element in the Seuth has turned against it. Letters are
pouring into Washington from men below the Masen and Dixen line who
denounce the Klan and all its works.
Cartoonists and editorial writers all ever the Natien arc pelting the
Klan with ridicule.
All the investigating forces of the Government arc acting en orders te
hunt down nnd stomp out mnsked terrorism.
The great Protestant bodies of the Natien arc arraying themselves
against the Klan, which uses Protestantism as one of the cloaks of its
real mission.
As public indignation and official action press in en the "Invisible
Empire" from every side, one phase of Kluxism net realized by many
of the Klansmen themselves calls, for an answer.
What of the huge funds already stuffed into the money bags of the
wizard-ridden Ku Klux Klan?
The half million or mere dupes who traded geed American dollars
for un-American doctrines have absolutely no control ever the Klnn's
treasury.
Full control of the millions of dollars already in the Klan's coffers
is vested in a little group of "insiders."
Under the enst-iren contracts framed by "Emperor" Simmons and
his advisers the Klannish dupes de net even own the "mystic" regalia,
which cost the members $6:G0 a set.
A "donation" of $10 was mnde by every Klansmnn who was given
the first of the Klnn's four degrees. These "gifts" have netted the
propagators about $5,000,000 gross.
