Railroad Labor Board tomorrow. This
will start the machinery for settling
the spontaneous" strike of railway
employees now spreading over the
country.
The Department Of Justice is in a
quandary. Attorney General Palmer,
who arrived here to-day, having rushed
back from Georgia, and his advisers
in the department do not know how far
to go in attempting prosecutions of
those thought to be responsible for the
strike
At the department Offices the i'm
preston is given that the strike re-
suited from Bolshevik propaganda. 1t
is said the department has been cog

but no explanation is offered as to why
the government has not acted if it had
Palmer in Quandary
Mr.. Palmer, however, is faced with
the situation that the recognized union
leaders are not only denying that they
had anything to do with starting the
strike, but are doing all they can to
induce the strikers to 90 back on their
jobs. Further, the leaders have pre-
vented the men from going out in
some places.
The labor chiefs are worried by the
possibility that the strike, without any
orders from brotherhood officials, may
really lead to the organization of new
union of railroad workers, which would
scrap the entire group of men now the
recognized heads of the railroad
unions. At the same time they justify
the impatience of the men, and say
they cannot find it in their hearts to
blame any one for walking out when
they consider the treatment the men
are. getting. They call attention to the
fact that President Wilson has delayed
since March 1, when the new railroad
law went into effect, appointing the
members Of the commission, which
would adjust the wage demands
Legislation designed to reach the
strike was offered freely to-day. Chief

DR.. Spitzka, a son of the late DR..
Edward c. Spitzka, is under promise
to bequeath his brain and that of his
father in the interest of science. He
said some time ago that he did not
believe there was any one capable of
properly performing the analysis ana

brain Of DR.. Simms, he said it may take
two years to make proper analysis.
DR.. Simms was born at Plainfeid

descendant of King Robert II of
Scotland. After several years as a
public school teacher and lecturer and
serving in the Union army in the Civil
War he studied in the Medical School
of New York University, the College
of Physicians and Surgeons and the
Electric Medical College of New York,
receiving his M. D. from the first
named in 1871. He spent several years
in travelling in all parts of the world,
and studied all forms of animal life.
He paid particular attention to physi-
ognomy. He desired to be known as
physiognomst. Most of his published
writings were on that subject. He was
married in 1885 to Miss Jemima Sim

Rumblings which plainly indicated
an approaching train, the grinding Of
brakes and stentorian cries of "Ayl

dozen idlers in the Vicinity of the
hudson Terminal yesterday.
But rumors that the strike was over
were exaggerated. The echoing sounds
indicating resumption of the service
were caused by trial trains eouipped
with green crews who were merely
learning the route The practice trains
operated all day, but not a passenger
was hauled.

with the new crews, it was said. No
date was set for the reopening. Mean
while, the striking tube men threat

Entrances in the concourse of the
terminal were heavily guarded, it was
said, by detectives of the railroad. No
