 Under the provisions of the trans- portation act, the wage controversy now will be referred to the railroad labor, board, which is yet to be ap- pointed by President Wilson. The law provides for three representatives of the public and this board
 B. T. Winter, chairman of the rail- way executives conference committee, announced the decision in a state- ment which said the two sides were in disagreement as to the provisions of the transportation act The union representatives were said to hold that the law contemplates an agreement between the railroads and the em- 1 ployes prior to any opportunity for participation by the representatives of the public.

ADMIRAL FULLAM TELLS
 OF DANIELS INEFFICIENcY

Washington, April 1-Charges that the navy department had made no ef- fort from 1915 to 1917 to prepare ships of the Pacific fleet for war were made before the senate naval Investigating committee today by Rear Admiral William F. Fullam, who commanded that force and directed all allied nav al operations in Pacific water during the war.
 Armored cruisers in reserve on the Pacific coast were not made ready, the
 officer asserted, despite his repeated recommendations and it was his only by utilizing naval apprentices at | training schools that he was able be- fore the war to get the vessels away from the docks for short training cruises. Even after the outbreak of
 war in Europe, he said, the department
 was "in different" to the recommenda-
 tions of senior officers that steps be
 taken to prepare.
 1 The admiral testified that it was 1 only by going over Secretary Daniels
 head and sending letters and outlines l of plans and policies direct to Assist l ant Secretary Roosevelt that a sym pathetic attitude could be obtained for preparedness measures.
