MEN STILL DISSATISFIED

CHICAGO, July 20.-Whether the spectre of a nationwide rail strike has been laid by the $500, 1000, 900 wage increase granted today to more than 1,S00,000 railroad employees to night remained undecided.
 Brotherhood officials made no attempt to conceal their disap-
 pointment that they did not get
 all of the billion dollars increase
 they asked. The belief grew,
 however, that they would submit
 the award, probably without rec
 ommendation, to referendum
 of the men. A decision on this
 point was promised tomorrow by
 w. c. Lee of Cleveland, grand
 president of the Brotherhood of
 Railway Trainmen.
 Railroad representatives accepted the award philosophically and set about plans for passing the $500 ,000- 900 addition to their wage budget along to the ultimate consumer in this case, the man who pays the freight. Armed with reliable ad. vance knowledge as to what the award would provide, the railroads had their figures ready.
 Judge R. M Barton, chairman a, the United States railroad labor board, had hardly handed down his icin senting the more than four hundred railroads involved, announced that the roads would need an increase of Is per cent in freight rates to meet the boost.
 The interstate commerce commis. sion will be asked to spread the in crease over both freight and passen. rates.
 The s6oo,ooo,ooo award repre-
 sents a 21 per cent increase in
 the pay of the railway men. For
 the first time in history the
 roads pay rolls this year will
 pass the three billion dollars
 mark. Mir. Winter estimated the
 1920 pay rolls at $3,344, ,o0o, ,0oO,
 more than double the $1,468,5 ,576-
 394 paid in 1916.
 The boards award was made ret roactive to May l. with provision that back pay for three months falls due August l. when $150,000.000 is to be distributed in addition to the regular pay In its decision the board followed sthe broad general policy laid down by the Lane com

mission. appointed in 1918. that the men who receivel the least should get the most. On percentage basis the biggest increases went to the un- skilled and semi-skilled labor.
 Yardmen Get Most
 The one notable exception to this general rule was the yard service men, whose IS cents an hour in- crease topped all others. Here, the board explained. the deciding factors were the extreme hazard to life and limb and the degree of skill required.
 History of Raises
 Today's award. if it is accepted by the men, will bring to a close at least for the present. the board be- lieves, the seemingly endless cycle of wage demands from the railway workers. Starting with the demands of 1916, which were met for a time by passage of the Adamson law. there has been many appearances Of rail unions before various govern ment boards and commissions, all de- manding changes in pay.
 When the government took control of the roads in December. 1917, il found pending requests from many unions for more money. The Lane commission responded with a gIadu- ated scale ranging from 43 Der cent increase for the poorest paid men. to nothing for those getting above S249

MEX|CANS GRANT CONCESSION FOR RAILROAD FROM ARIZONA T0 SEA.
C. and A. Officials Secure Right to Construct Route
 To the Gulf
WILL BE SEAPORT
 OF THE SOUTHWEST
Proposed Line Will Give Short Way via Canal to
 Atlantic Ports

Fl Paso, July 20.-A concession has been granted by the new Mexican government to railroad promoters of Ajo, Ariz.. for the construction of q railroad from the Mexican line in SO- nora to San Jorge bay, located on the Gulf of Mexico, according to news re- ceived in Juarez Sunday.
 The railroad will start at Ajo, con- meeting with the line from Gila Bend to Ajo, which in tuIn connects w:;n the Southern Pacific.
 It is understood that survey of the proposed road will be made in the near future.
 A number of years ago the late Frank M. Murphy. mining man or Prescott, Ariz., projected a railroad from Tucson to Port Lobos or the Gulf of Mexico. but it was never built.
 The proposed road is to end at San Jorge, which is believed to be more advantageous point. Both points are considerable distance south of the extreme northern point of the Gulf of California. Because of the gigantic tides in the north of the gulf it has been impossible to find a safe harbor a greater distance north. The pro- posed road, with connections, would give new transcontinental line w:,n short mileage to Pacific coast waters.
 It is understood that prominent of ficials of the c. and A. Mining com pany, which has properties at Ajo, are interested in the proposed railroad.
 Col. John c. Greenway, who spoke on the future development of Arizona, at the Commercial club dinner last week dwelt at that time on the i'm portance of railroad to tidewater.. He pointed out that an outlet through the canal for all the products of Ari- Zona that are shipped east would be provided by such road. At the con- clusion of the speech. Cleon T. Knapp, acting as toastmaster, predicted that Colonel Greenway would be one of the men who would promote the project that he spoke of.
 That Colonel Greenway had some concrete facts in his mind with regard to the construction of the road, now seems evident. At present he is ab- sent from the district for few days and cannot be interviewed.
 The above report from Fl PaSo seems to indicate that the project has been definitely decided upon. A rail road to tidewater and a comparative ly short route to the canal would act as a tremendous stimulus to agricul- tural, mining and other industries in Arizona.

 There were cheers on Sir Thomas steam yacht, Victoria, when Shamrock " swept first across the line today, but there was hush when her crew worked feverishly to free a jib topsail that fouled within the first few sec ,onds of the contest. This fouling per mitted Resolute to glide into the lead
 Outfoots American
 For part of the first leg, the Amer ican sloop kept to the fore, hat when sbe hit soft spot the H'ish craft slipped again into first place, edging along until she was half mile ahead. To the surprise of yachting experts, fancy little staysail rigged on the challenger served her better than Res olute's big ballooner.
 Spectator craft grouped at the first turn greeted Shamrock " with toot- ing whistles as she rounded 600 yards in the lead. Away on the second leg they sped, with the challenger catch ing every catspaw and Resolute roll ing in the dOldrums. Captain William P. Burton, who, it was reported, might be removed from command of Sham rock " because of his showing in other races, was evidently making every effort to stage a comeback.
 Resolute made a brave showing at the beginning of the third leg, and picking up at the turn, fought her way home under the guidance of Captain Charles Francis Adams II, disputing every second. But it was no use and by the time Shamrock had crossed the line it was certain that she had won by safe, though narrow margin.
