NEW SSTEM POPOSED TO END LABOR DISPUTES (By Associated Pres) . ~.: WASHINGTON, .an. 8-Legislation creating new machinery to displace the railroad tabor board as an agency for settling railroad labor disputes was introduced today by Chairman Watson, of the senate interstate com- merce committee. The measure was worked out by representatives of the railroad exe- cutives and labor organizations after a long series of conferences. It has been presented to President Coolidge, who is in sympathy with the princi- ples. The main provision of the bill would establish a federal board of mediation to be composed of five members ap- pointed by the President with the ap- proval of the Senate. This 1pard would be called in where effort at direct negotiation between the carrier and their employees had failed and where adjustment boards to be set up could not come to an agreement. Another important feature was a provision that the right of an em- ployee to quit work shall not be abridged, and that no court of the United States or of any state could issue a process "to compel the per- formance by an employee of such labor or service" without his consent. Injunction proceedings have been re- sorted to in the past in railroad strikes. ,4argent Testifies In Investigation Of Mellon's Firm 'Special settings, designed by Walk- er Everett, '26, editor of the Gargoyle, have been completed in the Mimes theatre workshop for the production by the Comedy club of Bernard Shaw's burlesque, "Great Catherine", Tues- day and Wednesday evening, January 12 and 13, in the Mimes theatre. teFour scenes in the period of seven- teenth century Russia are required, shifting from the Imperial bedcham- ber to the banks of the Neva, and as executed represent the modern ten- dencies in primitive Russian design made popular recently in this country through the success of the continen- tal revue, "The Chauve Souris". "Great Catherine" is one of Shaw's latest plays and has been produced but few times in America, notably at the Neighborhood playhouse in New York and at the Repertory theatre In Boston under the direction of Hen- ry ,Jewett. The theme of the comedy deals with one of the many love af- fairs of Catherine II of Russia, and treats in a farcical manner the tri- angle formed by a visiting English captain, the queen herself, and her Prime Minister, Patiomkin. Miss Amy Loomis, director of 4Masques and the Junior Girls' play, is cast in the title role, while Valen- tine Davies, '27, author of "Tambour- ine" and who played such productions as "Outward Bound" and "The Ad- mirable Basville", plays the Captain, and Robert Henderson, '26, the Prime Minister. All seats for both performances are reserved and priced at 50 cents. DEMCRTSCEASEI TAXPUBLICITY AR Party Members Of Committee Agree On Program Of Greater Tax Rmduction' SIMMONS LEADS FIGHT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. - Senate Democrats decided today not to con- duct a party fight for continuation of publicity of income tax returns; re- peal of which is provided for in the house revenue bill now before the Senate finance committee. The Democratic members of the committee, under the leadership of Senator Simmons of North Carolina, did agree, however, on a program of tax reduction which they will propose as a substitute for that written into the bill by the house. The substitute schedules, which are to be completed at a final conference tomorrow, will call for tax reduction amounting to more than $400,000,000 this year, it was indicated, at least $70,000,000 more than provided by the house measure, which has been en- dorsed in general by Secretary Mel- lon and the administration. In their program for greater tax re- duction, the Democrats are expected to propose repeal of the automobile, admission and other numerous mis- cellaneous taxes not touched by the house, and a slight reduction in the corporation tax. There are indications also that the Democrats will seek revision of the income surtax and inheritance tax schedules in the bill to increase the I maximum rates of each from the 20 -res Ue1 uOu1g g~ nt know whether it would be prac- ticable to have the army-navy I football game played in Chicago I next tall, he would be pleased if I a decision should be reached to I hold the contest there. The President recognizes that a trip to the middle west would take not only members of the teams but the :,:udents at both the military and naval acad- emies away from their studies for a greater period than is cus- tomary on the occasion of their I annual gridiron clash. While he feels it would be im- practicable to make an extended I trip every year, he believes that benefit could be derived from holding the game occa- sionally in the interior. In his opinion, the question this year4 is whether army and navy of- ficials believe too much time would be1 lost from studies and whether discipline would be made difficult to enforce. COA L EGOTIATION STILL UNSETTLED Meeting Of Antlracite Miners Operators Adjourns ,ier Reaching No Agreement With WILL CONTINUE TODAY (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 8.-Anthracite miners and operators .who are at-j tempting to negotiate a new wageI contract to end the long coal strike, l adjourned tonight until tomorrow afternoon without announcing any agreement. The only official word that came from the conference room to the public, was as follows: "At today's session of the anthraciteI committee there was a continuation of the effort to reach an agreement. At the suggestion of the chairman, an adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock tomorrow." An impression had gone abroad that the negotiators would follow cus- tom and not sit on Saturday, but with the fannouneement of a session tomor- row, came immediately the question whether the conferees were getting anywhere. This was strengthened by a report that one of the miner's rep- resentatives earlier in the day had said a plan was receiving favorable consideration. Spokesmen for the miners said there was no basis for such a Treport. Major W. W. Inglis, chairman of the anthracite operator negotiating committee, and John L. Lewis, head of the miners' sub-scare committee, were appealed to for an amplification of the brief official announcement. After consulting with their respective press representatives, it was made known to the newspapermen that there was nothing on which to en- large the statement.
