EXPRESS EMPLOYEES
GRANTED WAGE INCREASE

Chicago. Aug 10.-The railway Ia,
Dor boards decision today awarding
an annual wage increase of $3O,OOO,O0O
of employees of the American Express
company, will be submitted to the
10000 men affected in referendum
with recommendation that it be ac-
cepted, officials of the four unions
said tonight.
No formal meeting was held, it not
being deemed necessary in view of the
award, which was greeted with salts
faction.
The labor board granted flat in,
crease of Is cents an hour, retroactive
to May l, 1920. While this was less
than demanded, it was said by union
officials tonight to "appear to he
quite satisfactory and belief was e1-
pressed that the employees would ap-
prove it.
The four unions affected by the
award are the Order of Railway Elk
pressmen, the Railway Express Driv-
ers, Chauffeurs and Conductors, local
No. 7oO of Chicago, the International
Brotherhood of Transfers, Chauffenrs,
stablemen and Helpers of America,
and the Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers,
Express and Station Employees.
In its award the board divided ex-
press employees into five classes, but in
each class granted the same Increase
16 cents an hour.
Employees whose wages are comput-
ed on a 24O-hour month will receive
1884, more per month, while all others
will get $3284.
A decision covering working cond!-
lions will he handed down later.
Today's decision affects all express
employees except the $500 ho,'mcn
who were given an increase Of 10 cents
m hour in the award made to the rail
way employees.
Under the terms Of the Esch-thim-
Minis transportation act the express
company will he permitted to raise its
rates sufficiently to meet the increased
labor cost. Arguments in the rate
case already have been presented be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion At Washington.

Investigation OF
COMMISSIONER VAGG

The case of w. H. Harris ct. al,
against Arthur j. Vagg, water commits
sioner of water district No. IS. filed
some time ago before the civil service
commission of Colorado, was heard on
Tuesday and Wednesday in the district
court room. Geo. T. Bradley, president
OF the civil service commission conduct
ing the hearing. The petitioners were
represented by M. J. Mayes, and the ie-
spondent was defended by Noonan &
Noonan, w. +. Noonan looking after
Mr.. Vagg's interests in the court room.
The complaint in the case charged
Mr.. vagg with incompetency, Partially
and unfairness and neglect of duty, al
leging that he was temperamentally,
owing to a violent temper. untitled for
the duties of the office, and alleged sew
eral instances of incompetency and
Partially.
Chief among the charges of the COM
plaint was the allegation that he had
wrongfully diverted water from the
Monarch ditch or permitted its wrong
full diversion from said ditch to the
Eureka ditch of much later priority
right, but ditch in which Vagg is
personally interested.
A singular feature of the testimony
was due to the fact that nearly all of
those interested with Vagg in this ditch
testified in his behalf, although prac-
tically all of them were outspoken in
opposition to his appointment. 1t was
also noticed that some of those who
were the most positive in their opposi-
ton to Vagg at the time of his ap-
pointment, some of them declaring that
he was the most unpopular man in the
at the hearing tried to falsely
shunt this accusation to the division
engineer.
Two former deputy water commits
sioners testified that they refused to
serve under Vagg as. deputy, because
of his inability to measure water and
because of his unfairness in making
decisions.
Division Engineer Dickson said his
opposition to vagg, if he had any such
opposition, was solely in the interest
of the service, and because Vagg would
not cooperate with him in rendering
service to the people who were entitled
to the proper distribution Of water in
accordance with their DEGREES, and be-
cause of the great amount of opposition
and complaint which came to him be-
cause of vagg's conduct, or lack Of
conduct, and because he knew the peo-
pie Of the district were not receiving
the service they had right to expect.
Commissioner Bradley was most fair
and impartial in his hearing treating
both sides with the utmost considera-
ton and patience throughout the trin',
which was somewhat tedious.
The testimony will he carefully con
sidercd by the commission at their Of
fee in Denver, and decision rendered
at as early date as possible, but thrs
far there * no indication as to what
the decision will be, Mr.. Bradley being
very guarded in his remarks on the
case, and making no intimation as to
what his recommendation to the other
members Of the commission would be.

Tom Figg, Father of
 Pugilism, Was English

Thomas James Figg, the father of modern pugilisms and the first champion of England, died 1S6 years ago yesterday. Ffgg, who was some times called Tom and at other times Jim, was a native of Thame, Oxford shire, and became the first recorded champion in 1719.
 Before that time there had been rough-and-tumb1e matches between 1aborers from different sections of England, but these contests for su- premacy were as much wrestling as boxing, and the participants were chosen for bulk and strength alone.
 Figg fought and won several bat ties, notably with a fighter called "tthe Venetian GondoHer." and lost his title to death alone. For some years he owned a theatre in Oxford Road, where he held matches in which less CT lights participated, and also taught defence scientifically Thus Figg was not only the first champion, but the first pugiIistic promoter and man ager and the first boxing instructor.

Pittttsfeld Not Able
 To Secure BraZill

Hartford, April 10.-The expect ed release of Frank Brazi1l, last season guardian of the third sack for the Senators, who has been fighting for an infie1d berth with the Athletics, has materialized. There was some talk that PittsfeId would acquire the player, but this gossip is untrue, as Connie Mack has released him to the Atlanta club of the Southern Ass ocia- ton, together with Charley High, a brother of Lefty High, the old Hartford leftfelder, and Red Win go, star catcher of the Cincinnati Reds.
 By farming Brazin out to the At Ianta team, which is the minor league farm for Mack's unpublished recruits, the tall manager of the Ath- 1etics apparently decided to give the player q chance. As a result, he is sending him to Atlanta, and like High and Wingo, he goes to the Crackers, subject to be recalled at the end of the season. Mack at one time was quoted as having declared that he was willing to dispose of BraziH out right, not caring to have him on his club because of his disposition. Had Mack turned him loose in straight sale, he would be through as an Attn letic prospect

WORK STARTED
 ON NEW FIELD FOR N. F. CLUB

New Haven, April 10.---The work of grading the extensive plot of FaJd between Wooding and Helen streets, where the New Haven Baseball Ex- hibttion company will locate its dia- mond and erect huge grandstands and bleachers is now well under way.
 The land is fairly level and well drained and not much work will be necessary to place it in shape for the building operations.
 The lumber will soon be trucked to the lot and building will start. It was announced yesterday that the parking space for autos would be To- cated back of the bleachers running along the first base line and the en- ] trance to the section will be on Helen street.
 It is likely that the turf to be used on the infield and outneld will be brought from the same spot in East Haven that furnished the sodding for the lively surface within the Yale Bowl.
 A spur track will be run off the Drxwen avenue line and afford trolley patrons conveniences of transporta- ton lacking at other parks in the league There will be ample storage room so it will not be necessary after game for the fans to go chasing uI
 ann down Dixweu avenue for cars.
