 Heavy Burden on Railroads.
 Discussing the increase in wages| the statement says:
 ''The increase in pay awarded toI switchmen imposes a heavy burdenI upon the railroads which, in the in- terest of commerce law, they areI unable to transfer to the shippersh and thence to the public.
 Owing to the peculiar legal situa- tion of the railways, the board has thought that, since 1t Is the duty of the properly constituted govern- mental authorities to prepare the railway in this regards as far as if is necessary, it has attempted to do justice as between the parties with out giving any detailed consideration to the added cost to the railroads.
 "The increase in wage has been most earnestly urged by the switch men on account of the increased cost of living, the hazards of the employ- ment and the hardships of the work These points, of course, have all been recognized In the award"
 Asserting that the present award is the largest given in any general switchmen award, the two neutral ar bitrators ask that it seems just to present one or two other conditional which ought not to be overlooked.

TEIPER IS GUILTY,
 ESCAPES THE CHAIR
Convicted Of Matricide in Second
 Degree by Buffalo Jury

Buffalo, Dec. 23.-John Edward Teiper late yesterday afternoon was found guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of his mother in Orchard Park Road on the night of January 30.
 The verdict which broke the iron nerve of the young defendant, was re- turned soon after o'clock, after the jury had deliberated for twenty-nine hours Eleven jurors, it is reported stood firm for first degree convic- ton up to the last ballot. when they yielded to the demand of the twelfth man for a compromise. It was the first time a man had ever been con- victed of matr&ide in New York state.
 Teiper probably will be sentenced on the Thursday after Christmas, at which time his counsel will make ap- plication for a new trial. The pen atty for second degree murder is a minimum of twenty years imprison- ment.
 Cool and unemotional though he had been throughout the long trial, Teiper collapsed when the verdict was announced.
 Tn the twenty minute wait between the announcement that the jury was ready to report and the assembling of the court officers Teiper showed ner- vousness and anxiety. He stood to face the jurymen as they gave their report.
 Teiper and Wife ColIapse.
 "Gentlemen of the jury" asked the clerk, ''have you agreed upon ver- dict?"
 we have" answered the foreman. we find John Edward Teiper, the de- fendant, guilty"-
 An agonized cry broke the sentence. It was the wife of the defendant. Teipers knees sagged. He would have caught from behind by deputy. Placed in his chair he sagged for ward, great sobs shaking his body.
 "Oh, my God!' he shrieEed, as he struggled to rise. "This is not fair"
 "--Guilty of murder in the sec ond degree" The foreman completed his sentence above the sobs and moans of the defendant and his family.
 The jury was polled at the demand of the defence. Do you so find ?' each juror was asked. The seventh man had said tT do," when the roll was interrupted. Teiper was strug gling with the deputies, his face con- torted. He was crying again: My God, this isn't human!' His brother calmed him and the roll call went on. The one juror who held out against a first degree verdict contended, it was reported here last night, that the evidence was cirCumstantial. Color was given to this report by the action of the jury returning to the courtroom this morning for further instructions on the weight to be given circumstan- tial evidence and as to what may con- stitute reasonable doubt of guilt. Jus tice Charles B. Wheeler read from his charge on these points.
