RAIL HEADS AND MEN At ODDS
CONFERENCE OVER ADAMSON
LAW ENDS ABRUPTLY.
Break Comes When Representatives Of
Roads Refuse to Raise Salaries
on January I.

New York, Dec. 80. - Conferences
between representatives of the rail-
roads and the four brotherhoods of
railway employees, at which were dis
cussed the possibilities of a settlement
of the eight-hour controversy, were
discontinued abruptly when it became
apparent an agreement could not be
reached.
1t was announced by both sides that
there would be no more meetings un-
til after the United States Supreme
constitutionality of the Adamson act.
Refuse Employees Demands.
The break came, it was learned,
when the railroad representatives re-
fused to concede the demands of the
brotherhood chiefs for an agreement
looking toward the enforcement of the
new wage schedule, fixed by the Adam
ron law, which goes into effect Jan
st.ary 1:
The brotherhoods' chiefs held that
their men had the right to begin draw
ing wages according to the scale pro-
vided by the Adamson law Immediate
ly after the law became effective, ir-
respective of the suits brought by the
railroads to test it's validity.
Lee Issues Statement.
A statement issued by Elisha Lee,
chairman of the conference committee
of railroad managers, covered the po-
stion assumed by the railroads on the
point. The statement said:
1.-The railroads ill await the deci-
sion of the supreme court in the Ad-
amson law test case. BY agreement
with the department of justice the
railroads will keep a record from jan
uary 1, OF the wages of all employees
affected by the Adamson law, in order
that if the law is upheld by the court
the employees will receive the extra
back pay due them. The rights of the
employees in the interval will thus be
amply protected

First Chief in Latest Reply Hopeful

lean troops from Mexico is made by
General Carranza in a message deliv-
cred to Secretary Lane by Luis Ca
brera, chairman Of the Mexican mem
bers of the joint cmmissin.

mand that the protocol be signed at At

to the demand, but refrained from
anything that could be construed as
a fiat reputation.
His latest suggestions will be con-

sentativas whom Secretary Lane has
called together for an immediate con-

ALL ABLEBODIED MEN HELD
LIABLE TO SERVE IN ARMY
Services Required in War Time With
out Further Act of Congress
Under Defense Act.

Washington, Dec. 30.-Every able
bodied male citizen of the United
States between the ages of IS and As
years is held liable for services in the
national guard in war time, without
further act of Congress, by War de-
partment regulations for the govern
ment Of the guard, issued under the
national defense act. In circular
prepared nearly two months ago, but
made public Thursday. the Militia
bureau directs that where national
guard regiment is called out for war
service, a reserve training battalion
to fill the vacancies at the front shall
be organized out Of the national guard
reserve and by voluntary enlistment.
The language follows closely that of
the national defense act, in which the
unorganized militia is defined as in
Guiding every ablebodied male citizen
within the prescribed age limit of
those who have declared their inten-
ton of becoming citizens.
