Jersey Refuses to Cut
/. e.. e.. Railroad Rates

TRENTON, Aug. 19.-The Public
Utility Commission to-day ruled that
it could rot issue orders suspending an
increase Of 10 per cent in freight rates
and 20 rer cent in passenger rates on
railroads operating in New Jersey.
The ruling followed last Tuesdays
hearing at which representatives Of
the railroads, chamber of commerce,
boards of trade and municipalities, as
we'll as counsel and representatives for
the South Jersey Commuters Associa-
ton were present.
The Commission also ruled that the
percentages of increase authorized by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
must be applied to interstate as we'll
as interstate rates to provide the return
which Congress has declared the rail-
roads shall receive.
The decision added that it would be
unfortunate if the states, assuming
they have the power, should restrict the
general application of the increases.
The board said that apart from the
confusion and general complications
arising from inharmonious rate
structures eventually, no saving would
result from the general application of
rates fixed by state authority, lower
than those authorized for interstate
traffic"
The commissioners contended that
the revenue Congress has declared the
roads shall receive would have to be
made up from still further increases
in interstate traffic, and that articles
transported in interstate commerce are
in general use. "They reflect" the rul-
ing said, "the carrying charges and in
creases in these rates to make up de-
ficiencies in interstate revenues and
would affect all"

At the instance of Mayor Hylan
John H. Delaney, Transit Construction
With Indley M Garrison rec sdSssFd foy
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, IN
regard to the demands of the union
employees Of the Brooklyn lines. The
commissioner asked the receiver if it
would not be possible to bring about
q change in the existing situation
which would result in negotiations be-
ing undertaken between the receiver
and the employees of the company.
Receiver Garrison said that, acting
under the direction of the Federal
court, he had refused to entertain any
proposition for "closed shop" He
told the commissioner that if the de-
mands which the employees had sub
mitted to him were eliminated of all
provisions looking to CLOSED shop
the other demands would be promptly
taken up in the usual way for con-
sideration and conference and negotia-
tions would then proceed. Commits
sioner Delaney said that he expected
to meet the committee of the employees
to-day and would present the views of
the receiver TO the committee at that
time.

Steel Makers Unite
To Fight A. f. of L.
Closed Shop Drive
Representatives of IL Plants
Meet in Atlantic City and
Plan to Block Forcing of
Unionism ON Industry

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 19.-Prepara-
tons are being made by the steel max
ers of North America to meet the
threatened drive of the thirty-odd steel
and iron unions Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to force unionism and
the closed shop upon the entire in
dustry.
Independent companies here to-day
made the initial move in a great battle
to preserve the present open snop and
collective bargaining arrangement be-
tween employer and employee. Rep
resentatives Of seventeen plants, in ses-
sion at the Hotel Traymore, effected a
temporary organization of the Hot
Rolled Strip Steel Manufacturers As
ISOLATION.
e. w. Harrison, of the Superior Steel
Company, with headquarters in Pitts
burgh, was elected president. Other
tional Pressed Steel Company, Massil-
lon, Ohio, first PRESIDENT; James
Lippincott, of the West Leechburg
Steel Company, Pittsburgh, second
vice-president and Charles M. Best,
Pittsburgh, secretary treasurer.
A committee comprising some of the
biggest OF the independent manufacture
ers was appointed to draft constitu-
ton and bylaws for the new associa-
ton and to outline plan Of campaign.
1t is proposed to complete the organi-
cation at a meeting one month hence.
This action is protective and pre-
cautlonary," Mr.. Harrison said after
the meeting. eve are not looking for
trouble, and we do not believe great
majority of the men in our mills want
trouble any more than we do. That is
why we are getting together to protect
our interests and the interests of our
workers against anything which may
transpire"
To-day's action Of the steel makers
is the more significant in that the ex-
ecutive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in session here two
weeks ago, let it be known that the
great drive to bring all steel worker rs
inside the Federation fold is to be
launched in the Pittsburgh district and
that the right to hold organization
meetings and demonstrations will be
made political issue there.

Rail Deficit
or June Set
At$15,6l6,3288
Net Operating Income $l3,-
664, 100, Against $751;
93O,9O8 Reported for
Same Month Last Year
Increased Wages Figure
Effect Of This Factor Not Vet
Ascerfained on All Lines,
Says Interstate Board

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Trunk
line railroads of the United States in
Cured a deficit of $15,616.32S on June
operations, according to preliminary
report issued to-day by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. For the six
months Of 1920, including June, the re-
port fixed net railway operating income
at S13,G64,120 against $154,o3O,o08 in
1919
Increased wage charges which the
roads have been obligated to pay under
the recent decision OF the wage board
were included in part of the mileage
reported on, the commission said, but
it had not been ascertained for all of
the lines. A full report of the earn
ings deficit will be made after all of
the back payments have been allowed
for.
Gross operating revenue during
June, the report said, was $780, e4e, 900,
while operating expenses were $780,
965,000. The ratio of expenses to rev
enues was 967 per cent, while for
June, 1919, it was S3.5 per cent.
In addition, taxes Yor the period
amounted to s3,469 900, while Sack
wages due under the increase of the
Wage Board, as estimated by roads
whose estimates were furnished in
time for the compilation, amounted to
S25,371 ,7G5.
Railroad operations in all districts
excepting the Western contributed to
the deficit, which, it is indicated, will
be somewhat larger even than reported
when the full extent of the retroactive
district showed net operating income
of $12,113.196. while the deficit in the
Eastern district was $19,161 ,553; in
the Southern district, S7,211,536, and
in the Pocahortas district, a new sub
division created by the commission for
the purpose of applying the recent rate
increase. the deficit was S1.356,434. The
Chesapeake & Ohio, Norfolk e. West
ern, Virginar ard the Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac are in
c!uded in the new subdivision.
A note attached to the table says:
"To compare earning power Of roads
in 1920 and 1919 it should be. noted
that corporate war taxes are not in
cluded in 1919 returns; that the reve-
nues of all roads for six months of
1920 include approximately $4,000, 900
back mail pay, and that the increased
wage accrual resulting from the de-
cision by the United States Railroad
Labor Board, retroactive to May /, are
incomplete"
The ratio Of operating expenses to
operating revenues for the six months
period was 93.7 per cent for 1920 and
S8.6 for 1919

Kin Claim Shaw Estate

Colonel Melville J. Shaw, command
ant of marines at Fisher Island, Boston
Harbor, made a belated application to
the Surrogates' Court yesterday to be
appointed administrator of the estate
Of his stepmother, Mrs. Gertrude c.
Shaw, who died in 1915.
At the time of Mrs. Shaw's death
letters of administration were granted
to William NJ. Hoes, Public Administered
tor, on the statement that she had no
known living next of kin. This was a
misstatement of fact, said Colonel
Shaw in asking the court to revoke the
appointment of Mr. Hoes and substi-
tute him as administrator.
Besides the petitioner Mrs. Shaw had
other step children--Miss Maude Grant
Shaw, of Merchantville, N. j., and
George X. Shaw, of Portland, Ore. sis

Operators and
Miners Joint
Meeting Fails
Conference Adjourns With
Understanding That New
Demands Will Be Made in
Separate Coal Fields
Rresi dent Is Notified
Employees Note Optimistic
Expressing Hope for
Reaching an Agreement

CLEVELAND, Aug. 19.-Miners at
vending conference of the joint scale
committee of the central competitive
field~Ohio. Indiana, Illinois and west
ern Pennsylvania--held a policy meet
ing this morning as a result of the fail
ure last night of the joint conference to
agree on the miners demands for in
creased wages, and adjourned sine die
after voting unanimously that miners
in each of the four states will seek to
make supplemental and separate
agreement with operators in the field.
This virtually disrupts the central field
as basing point.
Inasmuch as the joint conference
was called by President Wilson to adj
just inequalities in the present wage
scale, operators and miners sent sep
arate kilograms to the President to-
day advising him of the failure of the
conference to reach an agreement.
The telegram sent by the operators
was statement OF the fact that the
Joint conference had failed to adjust
the controversy after five days of al
most continuous conference.
The miners telegram was optimistic
in tone. saying the miners would en-
deavor to make separate and individual
various states.
To-day's meeting was attended not
only by representa- tives of the central
competitive field, but also by many
from outlying districts, which use the
central field as basis for their wage
agreements.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aug. 10
Strikes by day men in a number OF
mines of the Indiana coal field to-day
resulted in the closing Of several
shafts. The strikes followed the fail
ure of the wage scale conference OF
miners and operators at Cleveland, to
reach an agreement on wages asked by
the day men.
Reports received this morning at
headquarters OF the Indiana Bituminous
Coal Operators Association at Terre
Haute showed that twenty-three mines
were idle at Clinton. Thirty mines
were reported idle in the Terre Haute
district
Ten mines were reported idle at
Bicknell, two on account of strikes
and eight because o. car shortage.
SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Aug. 19.-Presi-
dent Frank Harrington Of the Illinois
Miners Union, il a telegram from
Cleveland to all Illinois miners locals,
to-day ordered all miners to stay at
work pending g meeting with Illinois
operators at Chicago, August 23. A
strike now, he wired, will result in
governmental action.
