DEFY PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD.
Metropolitan Railway Denies It's Pow
err TO Order Transfers.

New York, Aug 27.--Flatly denying
that the public service commission has
authority to force Joint routes or rates
upon the street railway companies, the
receivers Of the Metropolitan road to-
day caused a sensational turn in the
contest which has been in progress for
several weeks to compel the railway
company to grant transfers from its
up and down town lines to a cross
town line Of another company.
The denial was made in a formal
statement at hearing before the
public service commission to-day, in
which the counsel for the receivers
objected to the proceedings on the
ground that the commission has no
power, authority or jurisdiction to
make any order to require surface
railroad corporations to establish
through route or joint rates, fares or
charges"
Officials Of the Metropolitan parted
all questions asked them by the COM
mission bearing on the matter of
transfers. The issue thus raised is said
to effect the very life of the commits

important Mass Meeting Held In New
York, at Which Plans Are Dis
cussed for Amendments to
Sherman Measure
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 19.-The most
important, perhaps, of the several labor
mass meetings held throughout the
United States today was that addressed
by President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor at the
Grand Central Palace tonight.
In common with the meetings IN
other cities, the local gathering was
for the purpose of publicly demanding
remedial legislation in the interests OF
organized labor.
President Gompers, in his address,
declared that the judges of the SUI
preme court of the United States had
shown themselves by training, en-
vironment and tendency behind the
times and urged the necessity OF an
immediate demand upon congress to
enact legislation at this session amend
ing the Sherman antitrust law which
the supreme court declared forbids
trades unions the right to boycott and
to strike.
Resolutions were adopted that it was
the conviction of the meeting thai 1t
lies within the duty of congress to SO
amend the Sherman law TO remove
any possibility of such future con-
struction and to enact bill to define
the Injunction and restrain Its abuses
The resolutions further called upon
congress to enact a general employers
liability bill, an eight hour bill for
government employees; to hold each
member Of congress responsible for his
record on labor measures during the
pending session.
