BAY STATE CAR
SITUATION HEARD
Strike Threat Taken Up by
State Board.

BosroN, Aug. 2s.-The threatened
strike of car men of the Eastern Massa-
chusetts Street Railway was before the
State Board Of Cancellation and Arbitra-
ton to-day. The board had asked for
the appearance of members of the Joint
conference board at the Bay State Car
Mems Union and the public trustees of
the road at hearing at the State
House.
An investigation by the State board
was sought by union leaders on the
ground that the War Labor Board s
award of so 40 cents an hour was ille-
gal They asserted the arbitrators had
failed to take into consideration the pre-
vailing wage rates for the district.
The Board OF Cancellation and Arbi-
tration invited the public trustees of the
Eastern Massachusetts Railway Com
psny TO attend a conference tomorrow
afternoon and state their attitude to-
ward the request of the employees that
the wage question be reopened.
The executive board OF the Car Men &
International Union supports the latter
employees in their contention, according
to a telegram received here to-day. ad-
dressed to the trustees of the road.
James H. Vahey. counsel for the car
rien. said the men almost certainly
would strike unless relief was afforded.

art also asserted that Mr.. Sothern, the
pioneer In the independent actors field,
had sent the bill for $50 kilograms for

poration, which is the way Charles Co
burn appears in legal phraseology. Mr..
Stewart added:
I'VE are credibly informed that at the
meeting last night OF the Fidelity
League a certain we'll known athlete
strayed in and was approached by Mr..
Louis Mann. who asked X he had Joined.
He replied Tn not an actor-I'm n
tennis player To this Mr.. Mann re-
piled: That doesn't matter. We need

Mr.. Kyle declared that Mr.. Albee had
nothing to do with the formation OF
the Fidelity. though he Is in sympathy
with its aims He explained that he
had always been glad to seek Mr.. Al
bees counsel. believing him to be sim
cerely DESTROYS of lettering the con-
ditions of all actors. Mr.. Sothern charged
his kilograms to the Coburns, he said,
because Mr.. Sothern had required an
office at the time, and had afterward
paid Mr.. Coburn for the messages with
a check drawn on money Mr.. Sohern
derived from Shakespeare and no one
else.

Taxes to Them, Warns
Utilities Expert.
SEES COLLAPSE FOR SOME
Opposes Limitation Of Powers
Of the Various State
Commissions.
Special DespatcA to TIE sus.

wAsHINoToN, Aug. 2s.-The States
would lose s214.ooo.ooo annually in rail-
road taxes should the Plumb plan for
the future operation Of the railroads
be adopted, Charles T. Elmquist, presi-
dent Of the National Association Of State
Utilities Commissions, informed the
House Interstate Commerce COMMITTEES
to-day during its consideration Of rail-
road legislation.
The loss In revenue, he claimed, would
cause q virtual collapse Of the financial
systems of many States, particularly In
the West, where the income from the
railroads is largely depended on to meet
State expenses. Mr.. Elmquist stated
there is doubt AS to whether the STAGES
can tax the Federal Government, should
the lines be purchased, and also pointed
out that under the Plumb plan all State
taxes on the railroad properties would
be wiped out after a period of years
THE Plumb plan would interfere seri
ously with the economic affairs of every
state in the Union" he said. ut is q
direct reversal of our present system Of
railroad regulation. The farmer anc
the shipper as well as capital woulc
have no part in the operation Of th'
carriers. The plan provides for the op
Grafton of the roads by the employees
only, and this undoubtedly would b'
detrimental to every other interest"
Mr.. Elmquist opposed any plans o
railroad operation that would restric
the powers of the State commissions
declaring they should not be made abso
lutely subservient to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
"Regulat ton by the State commissions
is essential to the interests of the citizens
| OF the respective States" he said, "an'
they should continue to exercise theii
so-called police power. They should hav'
charge of intra State rates, as we'll al
of the regulations covering grade cross
ings, track elevations and many othe
| improvements.
Conditions arise in each State o
which a general body like the interstate
Commerce Commission does not have tn
first hand information necessary to max
equitable adjustments.
| IN addition. speedier settlements o
rate questions that affect only Stat
| traffic can be obtained"
| MIR Elmquist suggested amendment
to the Esch- Pomerene bill to carry GU
| his views.

ers their committee after comforting
with Mr.. Gompers made public n letter
to Ebert H. Gary OF the United States
Steel Corporation notifying him that a
strike would be called unless an inter-
view was granted the union representa-
tives within the time limit previously
fixed.
Ofiioers Of the railway shop unions
talked over their wage demands and the
Administrations compromise offer with
the federation president. Representa-
tives OF the striking actors In New York
also saw Mr.. Gompers, but no informa-
ton az to the conference was given out.
I'VE have received your answer to our
request for a conference on behalf OF
the employees of your corporation" said
the letter to Judge Gary. and we UNI
derstand the first paragraph Of your an
swer to be an absolute refusal on the
part of your corporation to concede to
your employees the right OF collective
bargaining.
You question the authority of our
committee to represent the majority of
your employees. The only way bf
which we can prove our authority Is 70
put the strike vote into effect and we
sincerely hope you will not force q strike
to prove this point.
we asked lot a conferences Tor the
purpose OF arranging a meeting where
! the questions of wages, hours. conditions
Of employment and collective bargaining
might be discussed Your answer Is q
| fiat refusal for such conference.
I'VE read with great care your statf
| ment as to the interest the corporation
| takes In the lives and welfare of the
| employees and their families. and II
| that were true. even In a minor degree
we would not be pressing consideration
through a conference of the terrible con
| ditions that exist. The conditions of EN-
ployment, the home life. the misery II

yond description. Surely. this is a mat
ter which might we'll be discussed II
conference.
You also made reference TO the atti
tude OF your corporation in not Opposing
or preventing your employees from join
ing labor organizations. 1t Is a matter
of common knowledge that the tactics
employed by your corporation and sub
salaries have for years most effectuallN
prevented any attempt at organization
by your employees.
Some few days are still at the dis
posal of our committee before the tint
limit will have expired when there will
be no discretion left to the committed
but to enforce the decree OF your EN-
ployees whom we have the honor to rep
