Allege British Sailors
In u. S. Are Ill Treated

The United States Shipping Board
has undertaken to make inquiry into
allegations that British sailors and
others in English navy service now
interned at Ellis Island are not being
treated properly.
The question came to the State De-
partment two or three days ago, it
is understood. on complaints Of local
British authorities that the condi-
tions needed attention. The men are
largely for the purpose of manning
the Imperator and the other German
vessels which are held at New York
on the orders of the Shipping Board.
contrary to the British contention
that they should be turned over to
Great Britain by the War Depart
ment.
An agent of the Shipping Board.
consequently. was sent TO New York
Yesterday and will probably confer at
the earliest possible time with the
authorities at Ellis Island and settle
the disputes

Kolchak Must Win to
Get u. S. Recognition

II was stated yesterday on authority
that the United States will not recog-
nize the Kolchak government unless it
demonstrates its ability to stand
alone.
All the allied and associated gov
ernments are said to be merely sym
pathetic toward this recognition. but
it is admitted that the recent reports
of the progress of the siberian or
Omsk government indicated that the
question of recognition is near. This
recognition. it is understood. will at
once solve the problem of bringing
home every American soldier now IN
Siberia. Recognition would demand
as antecedent that Siberia would be
in position to take care Of her own
railroads.

Increase Of 3 Cents an Hour
To Men Depends on
Increased Revenues.

Washington Railway and Electric
Company employees were offered ar,
increase OF 3 cents an hour, retroac-
tlve to October !. in lieu OF the de-
mands OF its employees for a wage in
crease Of 80. per cent al a conference
yesterday between officials Of the
company and a committee represent
ing the employees Of the company. As
an alternative to the. proposal Of an
increase OF 3 cents an hour IL was
suggested to the committee that the
entire matter of pay increases be left
to the Public Utilities Commission for
decision.
Officials OF the company made IL
plain to the employees committee that
the increase of 3, cents an hour. pro-
posed by President Ham. was depen-
dent ON the Public Utilities Commits
sion granting the company sufficient
relief in increased revenues. II such
relief Is not forthcoming President
Ham informed them that 1t would be
impossible to grant an increase in
wages to the employees.
The employees will hold a meet
ing sometime during the coming
week and at that time the propo-
sitions of the company officials will
be voted upon. Should either or
both of the propositions be rejected
it is probable that a strike may
ensue which will. at least tenn
porarily. tie up the entire system
Of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company as well as the
Potomac Electric Light Company.
President Ham stated that IL the
employees decided to accept the Of
fer of an increase OF cents per
hour. dependent upon the measure
Of relief afforded the company by
the Utilities Commission. he would
ask the board of directors to make
it retroactive to October /, disre-
garding the fact that such action
would sustain a loss to the com
pany. Mr.. Ham also stated that
the board would undoubtedly favor
this suggestion. provided the Pub
lie Utilities Commission would ap-
prove the company's application for
financial assistance within two
weeks.
Representing the employees at yes
terday's conference were r. r. Mot
ley, chairman OF the committee: J.
w. Green. J. F. Magruder. Frank

Allege Error by Court IN
Testing Gas Rate Case

That there were three assignments
of error by the court is alleged in
brief filed in the Court of Appeals by
attorneys for Sam Goodman and Will
liam Hollis. who are testing the valid
ity of the 95 cent gas order of the
Public Utilities Commission. The de-
cision against which they are ap-
peaIiny was rendered in the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia by
Justice Bailey, who dismissed their
application for an injunction against
the commission.

peal will be made next December.
