ules exist. and then increasing those
rates % per cent, that the railroad
administration is considering abandon
ing the provision Of the rate order. A
number of notifications in the new
high schedules to 60 into effect June
20, will be announced next week.
Representatives Of the Southern
Traffic League and Southern Senators
to-day protested to the railroad ad
mlnistration against the double impo-
sltion on intrastate commerce and
were assured that the situation was
being studied carefully, with the view
to making revsions.
Millions of dollars Of increased reve-
nue. will result from the decision to-
day to apply the new higher rates to
local switching charges.
This will result in doubling the
charges on many commodities, such as
sand and gravel, moving under com
modify rates and originating within
switching districts. No carload ship
ment will be accepted for even local
switching movement at less than SIS
car.
The increase does not apply to
switching included in long distance or
so-called line hauling.

President Confers With the
Secretary Of Labor
Over Controversy
May Call Carlton
To Washington
Head of Telegraphers'
Union Sets Date for Walk
out of 10000 Men
Especial Dispatch to The Tribxns)

WASHINGTON, June S.-Action to
compel the Western Union Telegraph
Company to prevent the threatened
strike of the Commercial Telegraphers'
Union is expected to be taken early
next week by President Wilson, who
held long conference with Secretary
Of Labor Wilson to-day ever the con-
trovcrsy between the employers and
the men.
The White House is expected either
to summon President Carlton, of the
company, to Washington to explain his
reasons for refusing to submit to the
jurisdiction of the National War Labor
Board, which sought to compose the
differences between the employers and
the men, or to apply the same tactics
used in the case of the striking ship
carpenters. In that affair letter was
dispatched to President Hutcheson de-
claring che was for the government or
against in declining to use his in
huence IN preventing q tie-up Of ship
yards.
A call setting a definite date for a
mercial Photographers Union has been
sent out by S. J. Konenkamp, president
OF the international union, following
his visit to Washington to confer with
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in the
hope of finding some way out of the
difficulty without tying up wire commu-
nications. Before his departure for
Chicago Konenkamp said that he had
given up hope of President Carlton
submitting to the decree of the Ma.
tonal War Labor Board, and he sug.
gested government ownership as the
only means out of the difficulty.
Government ownership Of the lines,
however, is said to be the last measure
that will be applied. The success of the
intervention of the White House in the
dispute of the striking shipyard work.
ers, 1T was pointed out to-day, has
established a precedent that should ap-
ply IN the case of the photographers. La
Dor leaders maintain that what is
sauce for the goose should be sauce for
the gander," and in this instance the
argument is made that the emelover
should be the one to be compelled, as
pure wal measure, to submit to the de-
slres of the employees.

Begins Inquiry in
Bronx Car Strike
Clifton Reeves, of Depart
ment of Labor, Here at
Request of Employees

With the arrival of Clifton Reeves
Commissioner of Cancellation, of the
Department Of Labor, the Federal gov
eminent yesterday took hand in The

gram sent by committee of strikers
to Secretary Wilson, asking for Fed
eral mediator Mr.. Reeves will par
ticularly investigate the complaint Of
the car men that the Union Railway
officials had summarily dismissed forty
men for attempting to organize
Immediately upon his arrival Mr..
Reeves went to the Office of Louis Fri
digger counsel for the employees, where,
with Patrick O'Brien, vice-presdent of
the American Federation of Labor, he
engaged in a two-hour conference.
Though just what took place at the
conference is not known, Mr.. Fridiger
later explained that he placed before
the conciliator the grievances of the
men in detail, and he assumes that Mr..
Reeves will interview the traction of
tlclals before making decision.
He added that the men are in all re-
spects willing to submit to every ruling
Of the Federal mediator.
Mr.. Reeves will take up the situation
with Edward J. Maher, jr., the roads
manager, tomorrow.
At meeting of the employees at Cur
tin Hall, at a p. M, yesterday, Fridiger
explained what had taken place at the
conference. There will be another
meeting at the same place tomorrow
evening at IL o'clock.
Several prosecutions growing out of
the strike were brought before the
Morrisania court yesterday Two con-
ductors-Robert Pagliocco, twenty-four
years old, of 1884 Belmont Avenue, The
ronx, and John McClusky, twenty-six
years old, of 101 Melrose Street, Brook
lyn-were found guilty on charges of
cisorderly conduct, but sentence was
suspended by Magistrate Simpson. The
men were accused of turning the sign

they wouldn't be SO bad If they'd stay

AS wicked as It seems to use poison
gases at banquet, we often have to
do 1t just to keep the flies out of our

FIRST THOUGHT IS ISOLATION
Aviator Longs for Sound Of Human
Voices When He 10 Soaring Far
Above the Earth.

I became conscious of feeling of
loneliness, writes James N. Hall, in the
Atlantic. remembered what ]. B.
had said that morning. There was
something unpleasant In that isolation,
something to make one look longingly
down to earth; to make one wonder
whether we shall ever feel really at
home in the air. I, too, longed for the
sound of human voices, and oil that I
heard was the roar Of the motor and
the swish of the wind through wires
and struts-sounds which have no hu-
man quality in them, and are no more
companionable than the tapping Of the
waves would be to man adrift on a
raft in midocean. Underlying this feel
ing, and, no doubt, in part responsible
for It, was the knowledge of the fall
libility of that seemingly perfect
mechanism which rode so steadily
through the air; of the quick response
which that ingenious arrangement of
inanimate matter would make to an
eternal and memorable law, If few
frail wires should part; of the equally
quick, but less phlegmatic. response of
another fallible mechanism, capable of
registering horror, capable, it is said,
Of passing its past life in review in the
space of few seconds and then
capableAof becoming equally inanimate
matter.
