There Is a Point Beyond
Which Public Will Not
Sustain Increase, He Says
Refuses One Request
Declines Supplementary Ad-
vances, Recently Granted,
Retroactive to Jan. l

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Director
General McAdoo has ruled against
consideration by the board of railroad
wages and working conditions OF
complaints filed by certain classes OF
railroad employees, asking that supple
mentary wage advances recently grant
ed be made retroactive to January l.
1918, as was the general wage advance
of last May %. The decision of the
director general is embodied in let
ter to Chairman Sines, of the wage
board, made public to-day, In which he
said:
"As | have previously Stated, l am
obliged to consider not only the inter
ests of the employees of the railroads,
but also the interests of the people OF
the country in determining questions
of wages and conditions
"l have not hes:tated to announce
decisions which involved immense IN
creases in the wages of railroad en-
ploves throughout the country esti-
mated at over S500,000,000. These
increased wages must be. paid by the
people of the United States, and in
order to pay them l some time ago
announced large increases in freight
and passenger rates. Numerous pro-
tests against these have been made
by shippers and farmers and other
organizations throughout the country,
and warn US all that we must keep
our demands within reasonable limits,
because there is point beyond which
the public will not sustain us in rails
ing wages.
"Railroad employees not only have
steady work and, generally speaking,
more favorable living conditions as
against temporary and uncertain en-
ployment and frequently less salts
factory living conditions in war in
dustries. but they also have reason
able amount of free transportation for
themselves and their families, as we'll
as other privileges and advantages
which are everywhere recognized as
of substantial benefit to them"

Scientific World to

PARIS, Nov. 29.--Action toward the
elimination of the Boche from the in
ternationsl scientific world is being
taken this week at a conference in
Paris. The gathering is the direct out
come of a resolve by the leading scien-
fists of all the Allied countries that for
at least a great many years to come it
will be impossible to hold personal in
tercourse with German scientists in
any shape or form.
"This means" said one of the Amer
lean delegates to me this afternoon,
chat all our old international scen-
tific relations and associations must
be regarded ~ broken up and we must
form new ones. The German element
is to be eliminated from international
associations connected with science,
and all these societies must be recast
and reorganized, especially those in
which Germans have held dominating
parts.
"The manifesto issued and signed
ny nlHcLy-CnTee German scientists
early in the war, when the Germans
felt the conquest Of the world was
within their reach, will never be for
given by the present generation of AL
lied scientists. By that manifesto
they prosituted their status as scen-
fists in support of the war in which
Germany has broken every law OF hu-
manty and civilization. Moreover, it
is now notorious that our former Ger
man colleagues, particularly those be-
longing to the international organiza-
tions and having their headquarters
in Germany, made use Of those asso-
Citations for quite other than purely
scientific objects. Several of them
were nothing but branches of the Ger
man spy service, whose main object
was to promote German hegemony, not
only in Europe, but throughout the
world. We refuse to resume friendly
or personal intercourse with such men,"

Hylan's Coal Plan
Called "Inadvisable"
D. w. Cook Tells Senators
Mayors Suggestion Means
General Shortage

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 Witnesses
before the Senate coal investigating
committee to-day told why the fuel
administration opposed Mayor Hylan's
plan for municipal coal yards in New
York City this winter and of Difficult
ties surrounding increased production
CT anthracite through the opening Of
new mines or those not now being
worked.
Delos w. Cook, New York Fuel Ad-
ministrator, testified that Mayor Hy-
lan's proposal for municipal coal Yards
would Interfere seriously with the ad-
ministration's plans for an equitable
distribution of coal in New York be-
cause it called for storing of 100000
tons Of domestic coal in different parts
of the city, thus taking that amount Of
coal from the general allotment for
the entire population.
Mr.. Cook said he proposed to see
that the poor people of New York get
an adequate supply of coal this winter,
even if other residents have to do
without it, He said his plan for
distribution would work out salts
factorily, and added that he and Mayor
Hylan now are in "perfect accord"
William Griffith. of West Pittston,
Penn, mining engineer, told the com
mlttee that increase in anthracite pro-
duction is practically impossible now
because new mines must be run at a
loss for few years and there is no
skilled labor available.
Eightysix per cent of the anthracite
mines, he said, now are owned by three
companies the Philadelphia & Read
ing Coal and Iron Company, the Le-
high Valley Coal Company and the
Wilkes Barre Coal Company.

McAdoo Says He Does
Not Want Any Office
Declares He Would Rather
Have Only Esteem of
American Public

ASHEVILLE, N. c., Nov. 29-Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo spent an
hour here to-day inspecting Grove
Park Inn, with view to spending his
vacation there when he retires from
office in January.
He called on William J. Bryan un-
expectedly at Bryan's home and was
met by the ex-Secretary of State, at
tired in smoking jacket, despite the
fact that he doesn't smoke.
Bryan jestingly said: "We can lose
most titles but we both now have a
title which no one can take away from
us-that of 'Ex'"
Secretary McAdoo laughed assent.
He had previously said, when asked
about the Presidency: 81 would not
turn my hand over for any office !
am grateful to the American people
for their support in trying times, and
l would rather have their esteem and
confidence than any Office in their gift"

man day commuted the death sem
tence of Francis Linton to life i'm

viction was against the weight of evil

Judge Rosalsky and District Attorney
Swami that the INTEREST," of justice
would be fully served if Linton were
given life Imprisonment. Linton was

Second District Judges Or
der Canvass of Ballots
Held Up as Illegal
Stay Ruling Vacated
Decision Expected to Have
Effect on Other Cases
Still Pending

The Appellate Division Of the Sec
ond Department, on application OF
counsel for Governor Whitman, or
dered a judicial review yesterday of
the void, blank and protested ballots
cast November in the counties of
the Second judicial District, which in
cludes Kings, Queens, Richmond. Mas
sau, Suffolk, Rocklard, Westohester'

ties.
The court ordered that the stay IN
the order to show cause should De
nullified and that the board of county
canvassers in Richmond County pro
ceed with its count of the ballots
and make its return to the secretary
of State.
"This is victory Tor Governor
Whitman" said George b. SchoIeia'
of counsel for the Governor. ut IS
binding only in the Second Depart
ment, but it is likely to be followed
in the other departments. Sometimes
the First and Second departments 90
not agree. In that case the decision

Appeals. I am inclined to think that
this is the kind Of order that can.

Mr.. Schofald said the vacating OF
the stay would nave no effect. Under
the law the soldier and sailor vote
cannot be counted until December ~
BY that time the judicial review will
have been completed.
"The procedure will now be for
Judge Fawcett, of Richmond County,
to look at the void, protested and blank
ballots" said Abraham S. Gilbert, of
counsel for the Governor, "and if he
finds as matter of law that any bal
lots were declared to be void which
were, in fact, good, or if ballots we're
counted which we're void, or that ballots
declared to be blank were voted for a
candidate for Governor, he must issue
mandamus to the board of county
canvassers of Richmond County di
