forces shelled all avenues of retreat.

RAISE JURISDICTION QUESTION
Railroads Go Before Industrial Court
in Wage Case.

Jarisdictional questions similar to
those raised in the case of the brother
hood of stationary engineers and oil
ers, were raised today in answers to
wage demands by the brotherhood of
maintenance of way. The wages case
Of maintenance of way workers was
filled two weeks ago with the court of
industrial relations.
In the case of the stationary .engi-
neers and oilers. the court held that its
jurisdiction was sufficiently broad to
enable 1t to go into the merits of the
dispute. While a similar position is
generally anticipated in the mainte-
nance of way case, the railroads by
raising the issue in the second case are
protecting their legal rights in event
the case is ultimately taken to the su-
preme court
A decision as to the railroads posi-
ton in the new case may be given as
soon as the court returns from its in
vestigations in the Pittsburg coal
fields
