Railway Wage
Parley Ends in
Total Failure
Controversy for the Third
Time Is Laid Before the
President When Execu-
tives Leave Conference
Unions Blame Roads
Representatives of Lines.
However. Assert Public
Should Have a Voice

WASHINGTON. April 2 The: whole
railroad wage controversy was placed
before President Wilson to-day for the
third time since railroad labor filed its
demands for a general increase IN
wages last summer.
In letter to the President. B. NJ.
Jewell chairman of the railway com
mittee. which constitutes the labor rep
resentatives on the railroad wage board.
said he regretted very much "to advise
you of our failure TO obtain any bene
fetal results from these conferences
The employees. Mr.. Jewell said. were
keenly disappointed at the position
taken by the railway executives COM
mittee. which announced last night a
deadlock and the withdrawal of the
railroad members from the conference.
Mr.. jewell did not ask the President
to lay the wage controversy before the
Railway Labor Board, which is to be
nominated by the President as provid-
ed in the transportation act and on
which the public will have representa-
ton.
Attached TO Mr.. Jewell's letter was
cores spondence setting forth the attl-
tude OF the men and the executives
committee L. T. Whittier. for the rail
way executives, wrote that. while an
agreement as to wages might be
reached by direct negotiations between
representatives of the roads and the
men. the executives did not believe
Congress contemplated settlement
involving so great an addition to trans
portaton costs without the public be-
ing represented in the conferences.
Replying to this letter, Mr.. Jewell
said he believed the reason given by the
managers for terminating the negoti-
ations was mot in accord with our
understanding Of the law
The attitude of your committee in
failing to carry out the wishes of the
President of the United States comes
as surprise to US Mr.. Jewell wrote
to Mr.. Whittier. at will result in keen
disappointment to our constituents, as
we'll as the general public. both OF
whom are parties at interest and en-
titled to more consideration from the
bipartisan board than you have elect
ed TO give
We understand from this that your
committee has definitely declined to
assume the responsibility and peform
the duty which is 50 clearly desired in
the public interest, and which the trans
portation act, as we understand it, con-
emplates-that of agreeing IN confer
eAce upon rates of pay for railroad
employees which are just and reason
able
Union officials reiterated that, at the
request Of the President, they were
going along to give the transporta-
ton act fair trial. although they did
not indorse any of its provisions. They
took the position that, with the break
ing up of the joint conference, the
whole matter was made more difficult
since the union membership was be-
coming restive.

arrangement having been made by the
Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society,"
Every hall where the exercises were
held was thronged. Six hundred fami
lies gathered in Temple Israel, at 12Oth
Street and Lenox Avenue, the largest
synagogue in Harlem. The twenty six

Post Denies
Raid on Files
By House Body
Acting Secretary Says Immi-
grafton Committee Asked
to See Evidence Relative
to Deportation Matters
Cooperation Is Promised
investigators Declared Dis.
satisfied With Manner
of Handling the Cases

WASHINGTON. April 2 (Bv The AS
soclated Press). - Acting Secretary
Post denied to-day that the House I'M
migration Committee had taken pos
session of evidence in the case of a
number OF aliens recently ordered de-
ported and subsequently released as
announced yesterday by Chairman
johnson of the House Committee.
Mr.. Post said that without making
any previous request the committee,
accompanied by the House sergeant
alarms, appeared at the department
yesterday end asked to see the evi-
dencc. He told them, he said, that the
department would cooperate with them
IN their examination of the documents
relating to the aliens. The secretary
added that to confirm this verbal state
ment he had written a formal letter
to Representative Johnson.
The committee chairman. in his an
nouncement yesterday, said the cvi-
dence had not been removed from the
departments files, but that it had been
placed in the charge of a sub com
mittee composed OF himself and Repre-
scntatives Vaiic, of Colorado, and
Baker, of California. MIR. johnson to-
day issued the following statement:
"Chairman johnson said It was the
hope of the committee that in view
Of the facilities offered by Acting Sec
retary Post it would not be necessary
TO remove from the Department Of
Labor any files relative to deportation
matters"
Secretary Post said:
"The committee is in the position Of
man who goes into a library to read
books"
The committee, which is proceeding
under authority of the House TO in:
vestigate radical agitation with a view
to strengthening existing laws is rep
resented as being dissatisfied with the
manner in which the Department Of
Labor has handled the cases of several
hundred of the 1000 and more persons
arrested in the recent raids by the De
partmcnt Of Justice on the hcadduar-
ters and locals Of the Russian Com
munist party.
Charm Johnson has announced
that evidence has been obtained which
convnccs the committee that the !. w.
W. are allied with the Communists, and
that they should be deportcd under the
ruling Of Secretary of Labor Wilson
that the Communist organization IS one
which advocates the overthrow Of the
United States government by force.
The Department of Justice also is
known to be dissatisfied with the man
ner in which the Department Of Labor
has proceeded on the deportation war-
rants, but Justice officials refuse to
discuss the matter When a repre-
sentative of the Department of Justice
appeared this week at the preliminary
hearing on the deportation warrant
against Ludwig c. A. X. Martens, the
Russian Soviet agent in this country
Labor Department officials would not
permit him to question Martens.
