RATE INCREASES
TO OFFSET RAISE
IN WAGE SCALE
Railroads Will Ask That
They Be Compensated for
the $50, 900, 900 Additional
Pay to Their Men.

New York, March 2o.-with the
! possibility of a railroad strike defin,
/ 1tely averted. both railway mana ger,
and brotherhood chiefs turned thei,
efforts today toward more minute
study of the situation they have
brought about.
I Inc railways have surrendered and
the brotherhoods are undisputed vic
tors but both camps are today TRYING
TO salvage as much as possible from
the work of the past few days.
Increased freight rates seem sure ia
be demanded by the railroads to com
pensate them for the $50, 900, 900 a wear
increase in wages. Expert estimates
have shown that by bowling to the will
OF the employees the railroads must ex-
pend this sum annually to meet the
revised payroll.
EFFECT OF ADAMsoN LAW.
In the other camp--the brotherhood
chiefs-action is directed at the best
possible application of the Adamson
eight hour law and one that will pre-
vent the law from legislatins out
strikes of employees in "a business of
public interest"
The brotherhood chiefs and their
counsel sat late into the night studying
the law the supreme court declared
constitutional. The brotherhoods are
not altogether pleased with the courts
decision
one part of the law specifically
states the right possessed by employees
OF "a business charged with a public
interest, and as to which the power to
regulate commerce by congress, an
Piled Is necessarily subject to Iimf
tations."
CANNOT PREVENT STRIKES.
william G. Lee, trainmen chief de-
clared he does not believe this section
prohibits strikes.
we are public servants" he said.
But we are not government employees.
therefore, see nothing in the supreme
courts decision that would prevent
striking"
STATEMENT ISSUED.
The managers office authorized the
following statement:
The chief thing that the country
has gained out of this decision Is that
IT establishes beyond doubt that the
government. through congress. has fun
power to prevent railroad strikes. The
''o iVeau ny Nllel justice w mite
makes 1t plain that employees of inter-
state carriers, because of the public
character of the railroads, are affect
ed with a public interest that they
have no more right to strike and tie
up the commerce of the country than
have soldiers and sailors.
This same opinion was recently ex-
pressed by Judge Clements, member
Of the interstate commerce commits |
sion. when he said that railroad en-
Dloyes are affected with a public inter |
EST that they can no more ignore than
IAN the carriers.
The same idea was expressed by |
President Wilson in a speech made at |
Shadow Lawn during the campaign, in |
which he said:
America is never goinF to say to
is individuals you must work whether
you want to or not, but 1t is privileged |
o say to an organization OF persons,
you must not interrupt the national |
life without consulting us"

Fourteen Attempt to Swim
Their Way to Liberty and
Ten Are Still at Large
Helped by German Sym
pathizers.

Philadelphia, March z0.-Ten Ger
man sailors from the informed German
boats in the League Island navy yard
are today at large, according to the
belief OF police here.
BY patching up conflicting stories
OF four recaptured men the police were
led to the belief that IA tried to swim
their way to liberty in icy waters last
night.
Police here believe the attempt to get
away was not confined to the men
themselves. nor even to the captains
of the crews, but that 1t was part of
general movement on the part of
scores of Philadelphia Germans or
German sympathizers to liberate the
men.
NAMES FOUND ON MEN.
This belief is supported by the fact
that number of names were found
on the four men who were recap
tured and who's are detained in the
barracks Of the navy yard today, suf-
fering from exposure.
The name of Richard stein was
found on one of the captured sailors.
The names of five other Philadal-
phians, five German Americans in Jer-
sey City, New York City and Hoboken
were also found on the captured men.
1t is believed by local officers that
these addresses were given the would
be fugitives to indicate places of refuge.
TURN OVER TO GOVERNMENT.
These names and addresses, kept
secret by the navy yard officials, will
be turned over to government agents
who will investigate the suspects.
An investigation is also being made
today of the cutting of a trolley feed
wire near the navy yard. This was
done shortly after the men made their
escape. The broken wire prevented
trolleys from League Island moving. A
feed-wire which furnished light to a
restaurant just outside the navy yard
also was mysteriously cut.
