WILL RAISE WAGES OF
CAR MEN IF NECESSARY
War Labor Board, However, Will
Recommend Rate Increases for
Street Railway Companies

The National War Labor Board will
increase wages of street railroad ems
ployes, if it finds increases necessary,
without regard to the financial condi-
tion of the companies operating lines,
Joint Chairmen Taft and Walso SO
announced today at the conclusion OF
a preliminary hearing of employers
and employees.
At the same time the chairmen in
dicated their purpose to recommend
increases of rates for companies and
asked that attorneys for the COM
panies and for the employees bring In
for consideration tomorrow a report
on whether the federal authorities
could order such increases.
Mr. Taft held that the decision would
apply to Detroit, Cleveland, Scranton and
East ST. Louis among other places. Rep-
resentatives of the Chicago Surface and
Elevated railroad said the controversy
there had not finally been submitted to
the board for adjustment, and Mr.. Taft
added that the Public Service Corpora
ton operating in New Jersey towns was
not formally a party upon whom de-
cision was binding.
Mr.. Walsh, in discussing the decision
with attorneys, said if it was their opin-
ion that the President had promised to
higher wages the board might suggest
such action to him or suggest the neces-
sity for federal legislation.
Employees of street railway corpora
tions discussed their side of the con-
troversy today.
Representatives of street railway cor
porations argued before the board yes
terday, stating that an increase in wages
would require increases in the rates Of
fare.

IRISH MAKE ATTEMPT

Seizure of 10000 Rounds of Am

Lead to Further Developments.

LONDON. June 25.-The seizure of
10000 rounds of ammunition in the
Smithfield market, in Dublin. yesterday
is expected to have developments, ac-
cording to the Dublin correspondent
of the Daily Mail, who says the seiz-
ure was an incident in an attempt to
smuggle arms and ammunition into
Ireland on a large scale.
The first discovery of the affair
seems to have been made by the police
at Belfast where a ship whose name
is not divulged. arrived the latter part
of last week, bringing miscellaneous
cargo. among which contraband was
cleverly distributed. The contraband
goods were consigned to various parts
of the country. An investigation is
proceeding to discover how much of
it reached it's destination.
1t is understood that in addition to
the seizure at Dublin. 5000 cartridges
were found in Belfast and other par
cells in Juagannon and Portadown. The
Dublin consignment was hidden in
sacks of oats. The consignee is said
to be brother of one of the interned
