BROTHERHOOD OFFICIALS
 NOT SATISFIED WITH AWARD

Chicago, July 20,-By The A. 20 Whether the specter of a nationwide railway strike has been laid by the $500. 900 900 wage increase granted today to more than 1,S00,000 railroad enploves tonight remained undecided
 Brotherhood officials, after aIl-dav con- ferences, made no attempt to conceal their disappointment that they did not get all of the billion dollar increase they asked. The belief grew, however, in the absence of any talk of an immediate strike, that the union officials would sub- init the award, probably without recom- mendation, to referendum of the men. A decision on this point was promised to- morrow by w. G. Lee, of Cleveland. the grand president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
 Railroad representatives accepted the award philosophically and inme0iately set about plans for passing the $500 GOO 900 addition to their wage budget along to the ultimate consumer-in this case the man who pays the freight. Armed with reliable advance knowledge as to what the award would provide. the rail- roads had their figures ready. Judge R. M. Barton chairman of the United States Railway Labor Board, had hardly handed down his decision when E. T. Winter, representing the more than 400 railroads involved, announced that the roads would need an increase of IS per cent. in freight rates to meet the wage boost The interstate commerce commis- sion will be asked to spread the increase over both freight and passenger rates.
 The s600,000,000 award represents a 21 per cent. increase in the pay of the railroad men. For the first time in his. tory the roads payrolls this year will pass the three billion dollar mark. MT Winter estimated the 1920 payroIls al s3.344, 900, 900, more than double the s1.. 46S, S,576,394 paid in 1916

the end of the bowSprit to ten feet below the cross trees. There was 8 big space between the two sails and as Resolute was streaking it along under ballooner only, the defender drew out until she was more than half mile ahead. Wind Became Pickle. Then the wind became fickle. Sham rock, which had worked out to windward, found the edge of the breeze just as Res olute did when she gained a lead last Saturday.
 Nursing the draft of air carefully. Bur- ton ran by Resolute so fast that it look ed as if the defender had dropped her anchor. In fifteen minutes the chal- i lenger was half mile to the good, due apparently to the noble work of the fisherman's topsail, just above the fore deck.
 Resolute Could Not Find Breeze.
 This practically settled the race. Res olute could not find the breeze, and al though Captain Adams handled her won derfully well, the drafts of air summed her almost completely. Shamrock turn ed the first mark three minutes and half in the lead and at once picked up a nice breeze which gave her more margin over the defender. In fact halfway on the second leg, which through canting of the wind proved fetch for more than half the way, Shamrock at one time had a lead of mile and a half Fortune Favored Shamrock. Four miles from the second mark, for tune again favored the Ulster craft. The wind dropped and then came in from the southwest This gave both boats close fetch on the port tack for the mark. Shamrock naturally picked it up at first and pulled still further ahead, her lead
 
 Although it looked like Shamrock S race with only ten miles to slide down to the finish, Resolute had seeming ad- vantage of bringing up better breeze. However, the breeze softened astern in stead of freshening, and although Reso- Iute tackled to leeward under ballooner, Shamrock under spinnaker and balloon | jib, sailing a straight course gained nearly minute in the run.
