X. r. Chiefs FAVOR
Partial Pay Rise

Continued from Pase Ono
for review of the award after some
specified period, any wage rates that
may now be fixed by your board would
be virtually permanent rates.
Percentage Should Vary
1T is not at all intended here to say
that any wage rates that your board
might award to meet the increased cost
Of living should be taken away again
as fast as, and in the same percentage
as the cost of living comes down. This
would be in effect to decree that rail-
road employees should remain in the
same comparative situation they were
in before your award.
I'VE are not asking nor suggesting
this. but IL, as costs Of living go down
toward the pre-war basis, a less than
proportionate decrease In basic wages
we're provided for, the employees would
be better and better off,
The new transportation act provides.
Mr.. Whittier said, that any substantial
increase in wages must result in in =
creased rates to the public for railroad
service. For every 800, 900, 900 addet
to the payroll about 3 per cent must
be added to freight rates, he said.
Following the reading Of the execu-
tives' statement, the railroad board ad :
journed until tomorrow.

"BATTLE OF FLOWERS" RACES;
SO DOES OWNER OF POSLES
Guardian OF Back Garden Says Tenant Caused Toenty
four Deaths-of Pretty Ceranuns

Cruelty to twenty four innocent
geraniums that yearned for air and
sunshine led to the arrest of Jacob
Socoloski.
Jacob, according to Mrs. Marie Obo-
lock from whom he rented an apart
ment, was the gloomiest man on Gay
street, MaRayunk, and even refused TO
permit her pretty flowers to live.
The plot against the lives Of the
geraniums. said Mrs. Obolock, was
carefully conceived. Socoloski, she
said, watched the flowers constantly.
He was gleeful when they began to
wither and looked anxiously for their
expiring gasp. Finally, on discovering
that a sympathizing ray Of sun had
come to the rescue of the geraniums
Mrs. Obolock declared Socoloski took
long couch from his apartment and
placed It over the geraniums.
Shade Of the Sheltering Couch
In the shadow of the couch which
also cut off air and crushed them in
spirit as we'll as in body the pretty
flowers died yesterday. There was evi
dence, too, she said, that they had beer
trampled In the ground.
Such was the pathetic tale that Mrs
Obolock unfolded before Magistrate
Price at his office, 4430 Main street
before whom SocolosN was arraignet
and held in $500 bail this morning.

. II SUGAR ARRESTS

Against Three Members OF
Boston Concern
BIG CONCERNS INVOLVED

L. Henry Walnut. Assistant United

authorized the issuance of n federal
warrant for three officers of the broker
age firm Of T.. X. Shcrbourne & Co..
charging them with violating the Lever
act, The principal Office Is in Boston.
United States Commissioner Manley
issued the warrant and turned II over
TO deputy marshall Mathew Kelly for
Immediate service.
Judge Thompson. Of the District
Court, earlier in the day. issued an
order upon the district attorney here
restraining him from issuing another
warrant for the arrest Of eleven men,
bers Of the sugar brokerage firm of A.
Fl. Lamborne & Co.
/, The affidavit calls for the arrest of
Edward Sherbourne. president of the
Sherbourne firm Peter NJ. Levitt. vice
president. and l.. :. JollPs. secretary.
They are charged with making an un-
reasonable rate and charge for their
sugar holdings.
The firm Of Sherbourne X Co. is aC-
cused OF selling 1000 bags OF sugar to
Harry Perloff, member Of the firm OF
L. Bremen Sons 4 Perloff, wholesalers
here. having purchased the sugar at the
rate of twenty three cents per pound.
which turned it over to n Pittsburgh
wholesaler at twenty six and one half
cents a pound.
The akdavit says that the firm OF
Sherbournc & Co. realized a profit Of
about nine and half cents pound.
This. II is declared. is an excess proht
and violates provisions of the Lever
law.
Seven attorneys headed by William
A. Glasgow petitioned Judge Thomp:.
son to restrain the issuance Of federal
warrants for the arrest Of the eleven
members of the firm Of \. II. Lam.
borne Co. The firm has branch
office here at 1875 South Second street.
The main Office is in New York.
The eleven members Of the firm

w. Dyer, G. Logan. Victor Hess. VI. V.
Wood and II. b. Hutchins.
Mr.. Lindren is manager of the Phila'
delphia office.
According to the authorities the
Langhorne firm had refined for it $40.
AT $50 pounds Of sugar here since
January l of last year. The S!er-
bourne firm had refined for 1t H.
205.7i5 pounds of sugar at the same
refinery and during the same duration
of time. 1t was said that the rneticry
charged them about two and a quarter
cents pound for refining the raw
product.
The district attorney will go before
Judge Thompson Monday afternoon and
argue against the restraining order.
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1920-05-17

To be sure the geraniums wou Id die,
the plaintiff asserted, Socoloski lay on
the couch when ever he was at home,
and no one dared attempt to save the
flowers.
Mrs. Obolock also said that Socoloski
cut down the wash on her clothes line
so that his conspiracy against the
geraniums might be carried. on with
out obstacles.
Wanted Flowers Of His Own .,
Socoloski said that when he rented
three rooms from Mrs. .Obolock it was
with the understanding that he should
have space in the yard for his flowers.
He contended that a tenant in the rear
of the house, whose apartments were
smaller than his, was permitted to plant
flowers In the yard, while he, Socologki, :,
was denied this privilege.
Judge Price seemed greatly moved by
the woman's recital of the slow death
OF the geraniums.
This woman was doing the best she
could to brighten the place where you
lived" he declared, 'and yet you
deliberately with malice prepense,
plotted against the plot of flowers and
connived to destroy them. Words fail
me-"
And then the magistrate held the
prisoner In ball, Socoioski says he wfll
move. @

by the combatants. and many more shop
windows were broken.
Groups of men and women in the
unionist quarter Of Fountain street and
similar groups in the Sim Fein quarter
of Bridge street followed an exchange of
party cries with stone and bottle throw
ing. Then more than 100 revolver shots
followed. In addition to the killing Of

others were wounded. When the hos
