CONTROVERSY OF EASTERN
R.R'S AND TRA|NMEN SETTLED
100000 WAGE INCREASE.

New York, Nov. 10.-The longlived
controversy between railroads of the
East and their conductors and train
men over the latter's demands for
more pay ended, tonight. The en-
ployes are granted an increase in
wages averaging per cent and total
ling 100000 annually-about half of
what they wanted-from Oct. /, last,
effective for one year. One hundred
thousand men will share in the in
crease.
Thus ends by arbitration under the
Newlands amendment to the Erdman
act a controversy that threatened at
one stage of its career, to tie up by
strike transportation by rail in all
states east of the Mississippi river
and north of the Ohio, an area with
population of 100000. The award
of the arbitration commission filed,
late this afternoon, in the federal
district court is binding and final. To
it's terms, however. the two board
representatives of the employees filed
minority report and the two repre-
resentatives of the Al railroads a dis
senting opinion.
In reaching its award, the board
ruled mainly against the employees on
four out of five points submitted by
them as reasons why the increase
should be granted and found for them
on the fifth-The increased cost OF
living. Since 1909, when last an in
crease was granted, the arbitrator

arrested for trespass,' Koch related.
Gordon then, according to Koch, lifted
a stake used to pin a box trap to the
ground and threatened to strike Koch
with it. Koch says he drew his revolver
in self-defence, that when Gordon tried
to strike him with the stake, he raised
his arm to ward off the blow. and the
revolver WAS discharged when Gordon
struck The latter fell to the ground and
died several hours later while being
rushed up the lake to hospital
Koch contends that Gordon was not
struck In the back by the bullet, but in
the side, just below the arm pit. Pre-
vious reports have said the bullet en-
tered his back. No report had been re-
ceived, tonight, from the autopsy.
An inquest on Gordon's death was held
at West Haven. today, by Judge II, M,
Bedfield. Koch may be brought into the
local police court. tomorrow morning, to
plead to a charge in connection with
Gordon's death.

ca There is not a vestige of foun-

I'VE have recognized President HUI
erta because, having neither the will
nor the power to intervene, We were
bound to deal with the defacto gov
eminent and because, according to in

of Huerta and his supporters which
offered any prospect of the restora-

on March 81. Very shortly afterwards.
in answer to our inquiries, We were in
formed by the government of the Unit

ignition of President Huerta no def
mite answer could be given, except
that they would wait some time long
er before recognizing him.
"Since then, there has been no change
in policy and no departure of any kind.
The change of ministers to Mexico in
volved no change of policy. We have the
right to assume that in whatever policy
America adopts, she will have regard
for the legitimate commercial foreign in
terests in Mexico as well as her own.
There has been an interchange of views
with the utmost frankness and cordial-
ity on both sides. Our diplomatic reia-
ton with the United States has been for
a long time such that with the
frankness of discussion on all matters
that might from time to time arise We
both feel the fullest assurance that notn-
ing can happen to disturb our common
resolve to attain and maintain SYM
pathetic understanding.
