Railroads deny Bryan wage claim and cite reductions
Railroad officials rebut Mr. Bryan's dispatch claim that wages on railroads were not cut. They state several major lines have imposed 10 percent cuts on official and clerical salaries, from presidents downward, while worker wages remained unchanged. E. P. Ripley insists wage cuts would only come as a last resort, starting with top officers on some roads, and challenges Bryan to name a specific railroad coercing workers to circulate petitions. He argues watered stock dividends are not paid widely and Bryan has not shown careful evidence.
