n HICAGO, April 5.-The first
~ government inquiry into wages
and conditions of employment OF
sleeping car porters and conductors
was made here today by the United
States commission on industrial re-
lations. H. S. Hungerford, general
manager OF the Pullman company
was on the stand most Of the day and
was questioned by Frank u Walsh,
chairman of the commission
In the first 10 years of a sleeping
car porter's service Mr.. HungerfOrd
said he receives $27.50 a month in
wages. At the end OF 10 years he,
like other service employees auto
matically receives an advance OF five
per cent, which makes his pay $2S.S7
month. In the first 10 years Of
service he buys his uniforms but
thereafter the company takes on this
burden. A bonus system gives men
with good records an extra months
pay for the year. In 1914 S5 per cent
Of the conductors and "a per cent Of
the porters earned the bonus, the wit
ness said. They are eligible to a re-
lief fund after five years aud to the
pension list after 20 years Mr..
Walsh read many communications.
Withholding the writer's names com
planning of conditions Of employment
and low compensation. one writer
remarked that a porters wages would
not buy his meals on some runs.
Replies are Evasiyc.
There were a number Of porters in
the audience and they pricked up
their ears when Mr.. Walsh brought
up the subject of tips.
DO you expect the public to pay
the difference between these wages
and living wage?" he asked the wit
ness

"You thought them satisfied with

TTAVANA, April 5.--Jack Johnson,
Il l. exile from his own country, today
lost his claim to fstic supremacy as
the heavyweight champion of the
world, the title being wrested from
him by Jess Willard, the Kansas cow
boy, the biggest man who ever entered
the prize ring and white hope who
at last has made good.
The day after tomorrow Johnson
his wife and a little group Of friends
will sail for Martinique, there to
await passage back to France, where
Johnson proposes to settle down and
lead the life of farmer raising pigs
and chickens. There is no doubt that
he is through with the ring.
willard, who is being acclaimed to-
night as the new champion, Is going
back to the United States to win the
fortune denied him today when john
son got $4,000 before the fight
started Willard taking only small
share of the net receipts. just what
his share was is not known.
Today's fight probably has no par

For twenty rounds Johnson punched
and pounded Willard at will, but his
blows grew perceptibly less powerful
as the fight progressed until at last he
seemed unable or unwilling to go on.
Battle Logged,
Johnson stopped leading and for
three or four rounds the battle be-
tween the two huge men was little
more than a series of posings.

Not Stand for Interfer-

MANY PORTS NOT IN
WAR ARE AFFECTED
Legal Phases Are Reviewed
In Note in Which Will
son Demands Rights.

WASHINGTON, April Tho
w United States government to-
day made public its note to Great
Britain announcing that it could not
admit either the right OF the allies or
their claims for justification In plac-
ing an embargo on all commercial in
tercourse between Germany and neu-
tral countries.
ITO admit It," says the communlca-
tion, would be to assume an attitude
OF unneutrality toward the present en-
emies of Great Britain, which would
be obviously inconsistent with the
solemn obligations OF this government
In the present circumstances and for
Great Britain to make such a claim
would be for her to abandon and set
at haught the principles for which
she has consistently and earnestly
contended In other times and circum-
stances"
The note reviews at length the legal
phases Of a blockade of belligerent ter
Iritory and virtual blockade OF neutral
coasts. In conclusion the United
States states It's expectation that Great
! Britain, after having considered
| the possibilities Of serious in
terruption OF American trade" under
the order in council will take the
steps necessary to avoid them and in
the event that they should unhappily
occur, will be prepared to make full
reparation for every act which, under
the rules Of international law. consti-
tutes a violation Of neutral rights"

adopting retaliatory measures toward
her enemies as merely a reason for

MAY SURRENDER LEASES.

WASHINGTON. April 5.-The
supreme court today held that
oil leases in general use contain
ing surrender clauses" were en-
forcible by injunction in federal
courts.
Such clauses give the leasing
company the right to surrender
the lease at any time upon the
payment OF one dollar, and were
held by the seventh federal cir
cult court of appeals to be nom
enforcible by injunction. because
such a right was not accorded
the owner OF the land. The lower
courts decision has been cited
repeatedly in recent baseball liti-
CATION over players jumping
contracts. The court in its de
cision made no reference to the
baseball controversy. 80 the ap-
plication of the decision to that
phase was left to private specu-
iation.
