Pay Demands
OF Rail Unions
Up Next Week
Mems Representatives to Be-
gin Meetings With Execu-
tives' Committee, Which
May Be Selected To-day
Pending Requests a Basis
Ability of Roads to Meet
New Scale Linked With
Amount of Rate Increase

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Wage de-
mands of 100000 railroad workers
will be taken up anew early next
week when representatives of the
brotherhoods meet officials Of the cor
porations in the first conference on the
definitely determined tonight by Di-
rector General Hines, in whose hands
were left arrangements for the confer
ence. 1t probably will be. Tuesday or
Wednesday.
The employees will be represented
during the preliminary sessions by tho
heads of the fifteen unions who have
fought the wage battle together since
last August. Their selection has been
communicated to Mr. Hines. It was
understood, however, that changes
would be made in the personnel of the
labor committee when the tedious task
OF working out new wage scales begins.
Representatives Of the rail execu-
tives will be selected probably to-mor-
row when the Association of Railway
Executives is scheduled to meet in New
York. The date of the initial session
will be announced by Mr.. Hines as soon
as he receives the names Of the cor
porations' committee.
Sessions of the bipartisan commit
tee will be largely informal for several
days, as it will require time to agree
on procedure. The number Of members
to sit permanently in the conferences
also will be determined in the informal
meetings.
Brotherhood leaders probably will in
sist that negotiations begin where they
left off when the roads were returned
to private control. Union spokesmen
expect the rail executives committee
to object to taking in, as part of the
record, the hearings held by the rail
road administrators wage adjustment
boards. These hearings we're lengthy
and almost every angle of the union
grievances was presented. Despite pro-
tests entered by the unions against
Presidential approval of the railroad
bill, the brotherhood committee is pre-
pared to hold it's provisions over the
rail officials when deadlocks are in
prospect on wage questions. The high
court, on which the public will have
representation, will not have to wait
long before it will be asked to hear
wage problems unless there are early
signs of agreement between the two
committees, the workers. representa-
tive asserted to-day.
Among railroad officials, however,
this attitude of the unions was re-

members Of the publicity stat at New
berry headquarters in Detroit, Mr..
Murfin said
II never heard before Of conspira-
tors working in broad daylight and ad-
vertising their conspiracy. These men
were spending thousands of dollars
every week, spreading their work in
the public prints in big type. They
were proud of the publicity they we're
getting, and those facts show in them
selves that they were actuated by an
honesty Of purpose, and not criminal
On this point Judge Sessions ruled rs
follows:
"A conspiracy may be involved in a
legitimate enterprise, and the publicity
relative to tho letter does not in itself
show that there was equal open action
as to the hidden plan. The government
claims that there was involved in the
program to elect Truman H. Newberry
scheme to do an unlawful thing, and
such a scheme is none the less unlaw-
full because it was involved in legit-
innate enterprise"
Disposing Of technical points ad-
vanced by the defense the court said
that the Supreme Court Of the United
States had held that conspirators need
not know each other and that direct
proof was precluded by the very nature
OF the charges.

Harbor Tie-Up Averted;
Workers Get Pay Raise
Agreement Reached Between
Owners and Unions to Last
Until End of the Year

Danger of another harbor te-up was
obviated yesterday when it was an
nounced that the independent boat
owners and harbor workers unions had
reached a settlement.
Under the terms Of the agreement,
which is effective from March l to
December 81, licensed officers on all
tugs and tow boats are granted an in
crease Of from SIS to 500. Cooks,
deckhands, fremen and oilers get a
raise of SIS, while cooks on double
crew boats are increased $40. In addi-
ticn, all workers will receive three
meals day. six holidays year and
time and half for all overtime. There
was no reduction in hours, ten hours
constituting a working day.
Under the new schedule the pay of
captains of tow boats and tugs will
engineers, $160 to S233; licensed mates
and pilots, s145 to s2O6; cooks, SS5 to
S95; deck hands, $85 to S1OO; firemen,
$85 to $100, and oilers, $85.
The new schedules were made public
by Frederick A. Russell, chairman Of
the Board of Arbitration. chosen by
representatives of the New York Tow
boat Exchange and the Marine Work
ers' Affiliation to settle the contro-
versy. The awards will affect about
5000 men. James Moran, head of the
Marine Workers Affiliation, stated
that the increases will give the men
working on independent boats about
$25 more than those employed on rail-
road craft. Demands for new scale
of wages on railroad boats were SUBJ
mitted to the railroad authorities a
few weeks ago and are now under con-
sideration.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March A.
Testimony which counsel for the de-
tense characterized as "highly inn
portant" was ruled out at the start
to-day Of evidence in behalf of the
eighty-five defendants left in the New
berry elections conspiracy trial. Baked
in this effort the attorneys then put
two defendants on the stand, inter-
larding their testimony with fifteen
character witnesses.
The defense opened after Judge
Clarence w. Sessions had denied all
motions for dismissal OF additional de-
PENDANTS and had announced that the
government had established a case
sufficient to warrant verdict of guilty
IT the jury saw fit to return one. The
court also held, incidentally, that it
would be possible for Senator Truman
II. Newberry to be convicted or ac-
quilted without necessitatng SIM
liar outcome Of the cases Of the other
men.
At the ootset the defense called
George E. Miller, editor in chief Of
"The Detroit News" but failed to get
before the jury series of letters ex-
changed by Mr.. Miller and Senator
Newberry in the early months of 1918.
Martin w. Littleton and James O..
Murtin argued that the government had
charged that at the inception of the
Newberry candidacy there was "a con-
spiracy to purchase the United States
Senatorship," and the former said the
letters would show everything that
animated him" But Judge Sessions
held that the letters were "beside the
issue" and that the good faith Of the
candidacy was not in question.

Assert Wreck Engineer
Was Not Stroke Victim
Witnesses Declare They Saw
Sells Moving i'll Cab Just
Before Jersey Crash

The police Of Elizabeth, N. j., yes
terday found witnesses who declare
they saw Engineer William F. Sells,
of the Hampton Express, moving about
in his cab few minutes before his
engine crashed into the Dunellen local
at the Elzabethport station late
Wednesday afternoon, killing Sells,
the engineer and frema Of the local
and negro section hand. A dozen
persons were injured in the wreck.
The police regard the testimony of
the witnesses, all of whom are en-
ployees of the Singer Sewing Machine
Company, as a complete refutation of
the theory that Engineer Sells suffered
stroke of apoplexy or was fatally
injured before the accident occurred
1t was said last night by Prosecutor
Walter l.. Hetfeld that it has not vet
been decided whether formal investi-
cation of the wreck will be made bv
the coroner or the Union County grand
jury.
Russell r. Schwartz, the fireman who
was with Engineer Sells and who suf-
fered broken leg, made a brief state
ncnt yesterday. He said he noticed the
signal set against the Flyer, and was
leaning out of the cab to see what had
caused it when the crash occurred. He
remembered nothing more.
The body of the negro killed in the
wreck was found Yesterday and was
identified as that of James Scott. of
Red Bank. The condition of the in
jured was reported as improved.
According to a statement by William

of 49 and rs yards, respectively.
The first touchdown came in the
first period, when Davis was on the

and a touchdown. He also kicked a
goal. Lafayette braced after that
and held Panthers until the end of
the period. Soon after the second

ball to Pitts 1o-yard line, where the
Blue and Gold held them for downs,

terial gains. Davis took a pass from
McCracken and ran 26 yards for the
second touchdown, also . kicked a
goal.
