U. S. WILL DECIDE
PHILIPPINE FIGHT
Controversy Between Public Com
missiOners and Corporation
Board In Supreme Court

MANILA. July IA controversy
between the board of public utility
commissioners and Philippine public
service corporations. dating back a
year or more, is finally to be settled
by the supreme court Of the United
States This will settle the question
of the power of the board to require
annual reports from all public serv-
ice corporations.
The act of the Legislature which
established the board of public util-
ity commissioners gave the board
this authority and the board has
been requiring all transportation
companies. carrying passengers
either on land or water. to file fl
nancial and operating expenses.
Several transportation companies
challenged the boards authority and
the case went to the supreme court
of the Philippines. That body de-
cided that the part of the organic
act establishing the board which
gave it power to demand annual
statements was invalid because it
delegated legislative powers to an
executive or semi-judicial board.
From this decision the board has
now appealed to the supreme court
Of the United States.

Only Hope of Peaceful Set

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Whether
~ the leaders of four hundred
thousand employees of the railroads of
the country will make good their
threat of u general strike unless their
demands for an eight-hour day and

granted Ivy the managers of 235 rail-

from an authoritative source.
The only nope of a peaceful settle
mont apparently rested tonight on the
possibility that the men might be in
duced TO accept a new form of arbi-
trGuon, although thus far they have
steadfastly refused all such propos-
ais Their chief objection to arbi-
traticn has been lack of representa-
ton upon any of the boards provided
under existing statute.
The members of the federal board
of mediation and conciliation, while
declining to discuss the situation, are
said to be hopeful that an expansion

under the Newlands act may meet
this objection. Effort 10 obtain from

If this suggestion is not accepted,
it was said tonight, the mediation
board will have failed in its efforts
and the only recourse will be an ap-
peal to President Wilson to use his
influence to avert strike. 1t was
pointed out, however. that the presi-
dents powers will be limited to sug-
gestion and recommendation.
Leaders of the brotherhoods have
declared that they would not consid-
er arbitration under the Newlands
act, as it now stands The railroads
have rejected the mems demands and
have stood out firmly for arbitration.
The men have served notice that rath-

pies and from which beneficial re-
suits have been obtained, were out
lined tonight by DIR. Haven Emerson,
city health commissioner.
one of these methods, the commits
SOner stated, consists of using the
fluid Withdrawn by spinal puncture
and reinjected simultaneously or
intra- -muscularly into tho same pa
tlont Another method is spinal in
jections of blood serum derived from
persons who have recovered from the
disease.
The first treatment described by
the commissioners as one of active
immunlzation" is based on the as
sumption that the spinal fluid taken
from the patient contains the virus
of the disease which, when injected
simultaneously or intra- -musculariv,
will stimulate the production of anti
bodies which will aid in overcoming
the infection.
