Railroad heads last night declared the nation's car riers would go right ahead with their plans to seek new wage cuts through railroad labor board hearings despite the announcement from the unions that their action in calling off the. strike scheduled for October 30 had been influenced by the board's announcement that pay reduction petitions for any class would not be con sidered until working conditions for that class had been settled. "The calling off of the strike will have no effect on the plans announc ed by the carriers October 14 to seek immediato wage reductions so that rates can be reduced," said Samuel Felton, president of the Chicago Great Western and chairman of the Associa tion of Western Railroad Executives.

"I don't know bow long, under the board's ruling, it will take to reach a decision on any pay petition, but these petitions undoubtedly will be presented within a very short time. It will be up to the board to decide when action should be taken. "I want it made plain, however, that we will seek these reductions in ac cordance with the law, positing notices of cuts then discussing them with the employes and if no agreement is reached appealing to the board to settle the dispute." 1 ONE OF AGE GUTS FROM BOARD 1,1 TO GOME HOME '1 Mrs. B.

Washington, Oct. 29. With a flourish of trumpets and cheers of the great crowd running in his ears, Marshal Foch, leader of the allied armies in the world war, today (called at the White House and was a luncheon guest of President Harding.

He also made formal calls on cabinet members and Woodrow Wilson. Washington whooped it up in great shape as Foch and the French ambas sador, escorted by troops of cavalry and General Pershing moved alone Pennsylvania avenue. The White House grounds were jammed with peo ple who cheered wildly as Foch entered. The dignified national capitol long, used to distinguished guests paid eri thusiastic tribute to the great French warrior. Not since General Lafayette visited Washington in 1824 hps there been so great a demonstration1 far any foreign visitor as that paid Marshal Foch.

One of the first acts Foch's ar rival in Washington, was to accept a membership in a locaf 'post'of the American WobdrdW! Too Sick.

New York Welcomed French New York, Oct. 29. Marshal Foch captured New York yesterday and then sped away to conquer the rest of the country. New York surrounded without striking a blow. For a long time the city has been waiting to pay off a little of its debt of gratitude to the small man in horizon blue whose skill and daring at martial chess had reduced the armies of Germany, and yesterday afternoon said it opportunely.

Never since armistice day did the city's millions turn out with such spontaneity and in such numbers. Had the hardy little Frenchman, who led ten million soldiers to victory ridden up Broadway in a war chariot, dragging captives 'behind him like the emperors of Rome, he could not have received a greater welcome than was accorded him as he rode up the historic thoroughfare in a 20th century motor car, enveloped in a deluging shower of paper hurled from skyscraper windows. From the Battery, where he was greeted by Governor Miller to the city hall, where he was welcomed by Mayor Hylan, he moved in a great triumphal procession, after steaming up the harbor to the boom of guns, the ceaseless blast of whistles, the roar of airplane motors, the shouts and cheers of countless thousands. 'By his side rode General Pershing who in the dark days of the war led across the Atlantic America's fighting men who took their places under the banner ot victory. General Pershing was first to wel come his old comrade the Marshal upon whom the city conferred its free dom and then he continued his triumphal march up town.

This time it was along Fifth avenue he motored and Fifth avenue proved wild with en thusiasm as lower Manhattan, the financial heart of the world which had tossed its day's business worries out the window with its paper showers. At the Pennsylvania station there was anotherr display of enthusiastic welcome. Cheers were still resound ing as the special train taking the marshal to Washington on the first leg of his journey to Kansas City ior the American Legion conventiou pulled out of terminal. The marshal's niiti began a hundred n.ll.v; oui. ai sea.

0 BID HIE II STATE COLLEpSIERM State College, Oct. 29. Fire yesterday damaged the horticultural building at Penn State College to the extent of $35,000 and for a time threatened destruction ot lite entire building, which is valued at $200,000. Of the loss, $10,000 representing new laboratory equipment. Miss Emma Francis, a student from Michigan, was severely burned but will recover, physicians attending her Bald.

The blaze broke out when an explosion took place in the chemical laboratory of the agricultural section, on the top floor of the four story structure. Ether being recovered from waste had been placed in a flask on a heater. As Miss Francis picked up the flask it slipped and broke, exploding. The flames spread quickly until the entire floor was ablaze and the local firemen were forced to summon assistance from Tyrone, Bellefonte and Lock Haven In their fight to prevent the lower floors from catching. Loss of the entire building was averted due to a great extent to the concrete construction of the first three floors.

The horticulture building Is about 140 feet long and 40 feet wide. It has been used for class rooms and the chemical laboratories of the agricultural and horticultural departments.

He doubtless would have escaped serious injury had not the car followed and rested with its heavy contents upon the body of the prostrate man.

Help came immediately, but it was found that life was already extinct. hha chest was crushed and also the left foot. Mr. Anderson was one of the oldest employes of the United Refinery, having been connected with the plant since its organization 18 years ago. He was a valuable and faithful employe.

OF IN Clarence Harriger, of DuBois, was coming down the Litchtown Hill at II o'clock Monday morning on a big International truck loaded with mining powder destined for mines at Summer ville( says the Brookville 'Democrat. Just about the time he passed the watering trough his brakes refused to work; he threw on his emergency with no result. Harriger coasted down the hill with his horn going. Hugh McManigle, driving a wagon of the Litch Estate, with a load of coal, drove out of Taylor street and crossed Main street to ward Richards; As he reached the opposite, side of Main street the speeding' truck caught the wagon and. reduced it to kindling spilling the fcoal across the highway, 'Neither the horses nor! McManigle was hurt.

The truck glanced off, flew back across Main street, Bhook a heavy Bell telephone pole to its foundation' and bounced off and against the Ford truck of the Sugar Camp Run Coal company, which also was loaded with coal; this load was spilled about in the same way as McManigle's coal. In the final crash, Harriger's right leg was badly jammed. Apparently the Litch wagon is useful for kindling wood only; the Harriger truck has a smashed front, but may not be damaged as badly as it seems to be. The Sugar Camp's Ford was smashed up but parts of it may be usable. The miuing powder later was transferred to another truck and sent on to Summerville.

The International truck is owned by William Harriger, of DuBois, brother of its driver, who uses it for coal and other mine supplies. FOR WRECK (Special to The Republican.) Lapeer, Oct. .29.
