men terms OF the 600000,0O0 wage
award of last July will not be priv

der to-day's action, however, the an
nouncement OF the board saying
This decision shall not be consid
cred as affecting any wage increase
now in effect nor any agreement re-
garding wages between any of the
carriers and their employees

1000 employees. The railroads involved
are in general remote from large cit
les and provide service for small com
munities located in nearly every staate.

performed by the employees the board
declared it ''impracticable to decide on
the evidence submitted what are rea-
sonablc wages for the varying work
under infinitely varying conditions.
The decision says that there are un-
der consideration by the board sew
cral hundred grievances which should

iustments if such boards are in exist
cnce. 1t says the work done by the
employees is unclassified and therefore

ing affecting the trunk lines of the
country is before the board No set
rule. however. has ever been applied
uniformly to the short lines The board
declares it Is "impracticable to deter
mine what reasonable rules shall be
in effect on the short lines until the
uuestion Of reasonable rules and work
ing conditions on the standard rail
roads has been disposed Of.
Representatives of the carriers and
ahe employees are still given the right

able,

Increase in the value of corporate
bonds, originally acquired and held for
investment, is taxable under the rev
enue act of 1915, the supreme court
also ruled to-day.

the question of whether an income
could be levied against an increase in
the value of securities purchased and
held as an investment, but ruled that
the tax could only be imposed on the
actual gain. Thousands of eases OF
income assessments come within this
decision of the court. upon which de-
pended the necessity of the government
refunding millions of dollars in taxes.
