FREIGHT HANDLERS
WILL FIGHT IT OUT
Two Thousand in Meeting
Decide to Risk Forfeiture
Of Charter.
RAILWAY MEN ARE FIRM
Embargo Modified to Permit
Delivery Of Perishable Goods
to Manhattan Sidings.

Two thousand Of the freight handlers
who walked out Thursday. causing the
Railroad Administration to place an en-
barge on less than car lot freight, met In
St Columbia Hall yesterday afternoon
and by a unanimous vote decided to re-
main idle until the railroad wage ad-
justment board-passes on their case.
In the meantime shipments OF all
classes of freight are accommodating on
the piers and a serious congestion. az
fecting particularly the food supply OF
the city and foodstuffs intended for ex-
port, Is likely to develop.
Besides the dificulties due to the
strike the congestion at the piers Is due
in part also TO temporary shortage IN
Cargo space for the supplies intended for
transportation abroad. Vessels for use
BY the Federal Food Administration had
no, become available in the volume that
had been expected The ship situation
has been affected TO no small extent by
the practice OF ship owners who put their
vessels in dry dock upon being relieved
O. the war strain instead of continuing
their ships in trade. Delayed arrivals
of vessels from across the Atlantic. due
to storms. helped TO coinplicate the eitu-
alton, and the usual holiday decrease In
labor facilities regardless OF any strike
has caused freight TO pile up for several
weeks.
VIII Employ other Worknen.
The Federal rail managers show dis
position to regard the situation as one
that can be handled by them. Following
a meeting Of the managers of all rail-
roads entering the New York harbor dis
trict, over which presided A. ]. Stone OF
the Erie, head Of the New York terminal
committee, A. T. Hardin. assistant re-
gional director. gave out statement in
which he sums 70 the attitude or the
rail men toward the strikers and an
nouuced a modification OF the embargo
order. The statement follows;
The railroads have raised the em-
barge on carload freight for Manhattan
Island for private side track and team
track deliveries to meet the immediate
needs OF the city pending the adjustment
OF the labor trouble. II the men do not
return to work others will be employed
immediately
Perishable foodstuffs can be expected
to get to the public as usual. due TO the
change IN the embargo order. The
handling OF such deliveries lie taken caro-
OF at the siding by the truckmen OF the
concerns 10 whom the pershables are
consigned Industrial plants having sid
ings for freight come under this order
and they will be unaffected by the en-
barge.
At the meeting OF the strikers an APP
peal was made to the men by John Bic
Ian OF the State Industrial Commission
Arbitration Board. calling upon then,
FOR the saES of the public to return to
work, II only to save the foodstuffs that
otherwise might rot.
Let 1t rot. Let Il perish" shouted
several raucous voices.

Burleson and Carlton Say
They Are Not Real De-
PENDANTS in Petition.
BOTH SIDES FILE BRIEFS
Defendants Not Immune, 1t Is
Contended, in Acting Under
Presidents Orders.

Briefs were filed yesterday with
Judge Learned Hand In the United
States District Court on the motion
made by Postmaster-General Burleson
and Newcomb Carlton, defendants. to
dismiss the suits of the Commercial
Cable Company and the Commercial Pa
cihc Cable Company, compliments. The
latter petitioned in equity for an in
junction to restrain the Postmaster
General from SELLING their cable lines.
Oral arguments were made a week ago
yesterday.
The defendants brief was signed by
Edward +. McClennen. special assistant
TO the Attorney General; Harold Har-
per, Assistant United States Attorney,
and Charles NJ. Braceien. counsel for the
defendants. The complainants' brief
was signed by Charles f. Hughes and
William W. Cook.
The motion to dismiss was advanced
on the ground that the court is with
out Jurisdiction. because the United
States cannot be sued. It was alleged
that despite the naming OF two individ-
ual defendants this action is in reality
directed against the United States. The
point is argued a: length in both briefs
Contentious of the Government.
The Governments contentious follow:
at Is settled beyond controversy that
no suit can be maintained against the
United States except as 1t has by appro-
pirate action OF Congress consented to be
sued.
Tho question whether or not a suit Is
against the United States Is to be deter
mined by It's substantial character and
not by its formal title or by the officials

cause the principle that the United States
cannot be sued Is not one to be set VI
