Executive Committee Re-
verses Itself and Decides
to End Strike at Request
of Union Representative
Hope to Aid Hines Action
Workers Told That Whole
Inquiry Is Being Delayed;
Service To Be Resumed

NEW HAVEN, Aug Suddenly
reversing Its decision to have the 5000
New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail
road shopmen remain out on strike, the
executive committee of the strikers
this afternoon issued orders for all
men to return to work Monday.
This action was taken at the request
Of J. NJ. Burns, sent from Washington
as a special repres sentative Of President
B. M. Jewell Of the Railway Employees
Labor to reconsider its decision.
Robert A. Henderson, secretary of
the committee and spokesman Of the
strikers meeting, said the committee is
urging all striking shopmen to respond
to the request and report for work.
Mr.. Burns said the attitude of the
New Haven road shopmen was delaying
action by Director General Hines in
opening his conferences on the wage
question: With the New Haven men
back at work he thought the whole
matter would be taken up at Washing
ton on Monday.
Officials of the New Haven Railroad
announced tonight that normal passen-
ger service would be resumed Monday
and the freight embargo revised or
cancelled "at the earliest possible
date"
Suburban passenger service on the
Boston e. Maine Railroad, eliminated
on account Of the shopmen's strike
will also be restored No announce
ment was made regarding through
trains, except that the present cur
tailed service would be continued to-
morrow and Sunday.
The Boston & Albany Railroad is ex-
pected to lift its freight embargo as
soon as the strikers return. Officials
said they would continue to accept
livestock and food for human consump~
tion for delivery on their own lines or
on the lines of such other companies
as did not maintain embargoes.

Operatinp

"Ordinarily the stockholders in ,,,h-
nc utlllty companies provide an en,itv
by subscribing to capital stock wh;cS
serves to safeguard the security Of
ponds and notes and the payment OF in
terest thereon. In this instance this
sa1eguard is provided not only bv the
outstanding stock of the company, but
also by the contribution by the city of
appropriately $lO0,000,0OO toward the
Sosc OF ehe new subways and the subor
dlnatlon of its claims for interest IN
this money-an arrangement obvionsl ull
~ better for these bondholders and

MD. Swami issued the following state
ment: e S'o'0
Il am Informed before those notes
We're purchased the representatives, ~
the purchaser of those notes insistad
mat the representations made in re-
gard to the financial condition of the
interborough and the present monev
earning qualities be submitted in writ
ing and signed by responsible officer
OF the company.
This was accordingly done, and if
are not true, they were made for tha
purpose of inducing investors to mart
win more than $33, 600, 900 of money
IN the purchase of the Interborough' :
snort term notes, and would be an
offence under Section 1898 B of the
penal law, which makes it misde-
meanor to obtain property or credit
py use of false statement and ia a
penltentiary offence
II the representations made by Mr.
ohonts are true-and the estimates and
calculations made must have been con-
sldered solidly founded or the astute
banking firm of Morgan & Co. would
not have purchased the notes-then the
lnterborough does not need financial
relief at the expense of the public
through an increase of fares. The
company's own figures show that the
lnterborough is something in the na-
ture of a mint in its money makine
abilities. Their figures show in ths
ten-year period from 1907 to 1917 the
gross operating revenues increased "a
per cent and the net income available
TOT interest payments l79 per cent
If the representations made in Nv
Shonts's letter are true, then the COM
pany not only does not need an in
crease in fare, but it seems to me Il ;s
about time for the city to receive some
part OF the net receipts from the Inter
borough. Especially, when we consider
New-York tribune., 1919-08-16

the enormous sums the city expended
in the construction of the subways and
to date has not received one dollar
in return.
True, Says Interborough
The following statement was issued
at the Office of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company last night:
Every statement Of fact made by
Mr. Shonts in his letter of August 81,
1918, regarding the proposed sale of
the notes of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company was true.
"All matters of opinion in relation
to the future earnings of the property
were stated to be-and were in fact
the estimates of independent engineers.
"The condition of the company at
the present time is due to causes with
which every one is familiar and which
were not foreseen year ago."

Garlic to Be Imported.

Because of the scarcity of food in
Europe and the difficulty Of transporta-

portation Of food products from Eu-
rope. hoping to save them for home
consumption and to save tonnage. Gar
lie from Italy was included under this
general prohibition until the Italian
government represented tina, great
financial loss would result, due to the
vast acreage planted with garlic in
Italy. The supply of this years yield
would be far too great for home con-
sumption. Due TO this, the war trade
board issued a permit for the present
year. with the understanding that
after January. 1918. fewer acres would
be planted to garlic. but would be de-
voted to the cultivation Of other food
products, which would be used for
