clared the railroad labor boards de-
cision abrogating the national agree
ments, announced last night, would

rive at an agreement satisfactory to

Board Announces AbrogatiOn
CHICAGO, April 14-(By A. P.)--
National agreements defining work,
ing conditions for employees on all
American railroads formerly under
federal railroad administration were
today ordered abrogated, effective
July 1, 1921, by the United States
railroad labor board.
The board called upon the officers
and system organizations of employees
Of each railroad to select represen-
tatives 'to confer and to decide" as
much Of the rules controversy as pos
sible. "Such conferences shall begin
at the earliest possible date" the de-
cision said.
Members of the board said all dis
puteS on rules and working cOndlClOnS
automatically were referred back to
individual conferences between each
individual road and it's employees. This
method of procedure had been sought
by the railroads, whereas labor had
favored national conference.
The decision affected all railroad
employees except those in train serv-
ice, who are under separate agree
ments between individual railroads
and the big four brotherhoods.

RECIPROCITY WINS
At CANADIAN POLLS;
PREMIER |SL|BERAL

OTTAWA, Dec. 7.-Although re-
turns from yesterdays general cleo
ton were still incomplete this morn
ing, it was apparent that for the
first time in ten years Canada had
elected parliament with a majority
favoring reciprocity with the United
States.
In the new house Of commons, w.
L. Mackenzie King, Liberal leader.
will have a clean majority over all
all parties. He will thus become
prime minister Of the dominion. The
Progressives, also favoring reciproc-
ity and a low tariff, will rank Sec
ond, and the high tariff party, headed
by Premier Meighen, third. Mr..
Meighen himself was defeated in
Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, his
home district.
The fall of the Meighen govern
ment, with it's high tariff platform,
was as spectacular as the defeat of
olr w 1l1Ilu 41OSIdA
istration in 1911 on its policy of rec
iprocity with the United States. In
yesterdays election, high tariff as
championed by Premier Meighen,
lost to the reciprocity program of
Mr.. King.
At yesterdays election for the first
time in the political history of Cana
da women voted on terms of equality
with men. Miss MacPhail, Progress
sive, was elected to parliament in
the southeast Grey district of On.
tario She will be the first woman
member of the house Of commons.
William Lyon Mackenzie King,
who will be the next premier of the
dominion, is a grandson Of William
Lyon Mackenzie, a leader in the
struggle for responsible government
in Canada. He is forty-seven years
old. He holds postgraduate degrees
from the University of Chicago and
Harvard.

CHANCELLOR BERKENHEAD
OUTLINES TERMS OF PACT
BIRMINGHAM, England. Dec. z.
signed by representatives of the
British and Sim Fem governments

announced today.
The provisions of the agreement

known as ''the Irish free state"
2. It is to have the same status
as Canada. Australia. New Zealand
and South africa with one rcserva-
ton.

state government will rule SUI
preme.
4. The new government must pay
her portion of the national war
debt.
5. Sim Fem must give reasonable
guarantees to the South ireland
Unionist minority.
If Ulster does not wish to join the
free state she may retain her owa
status. the chancellor declared. In
that case she will submit to the
ruling of a boundary commission
which will determine the boundary
line between the Irish free state
and Ulster.
If parliament does not sanction
these terms Birkenhead predicted the
government would go before the peo-
pie on the issue and submit it to
a general election.
This pact was signed in the same
room in Downing street that wit
messed the loss of the American col
onies." Birkenhead said. 1T was also
in this room that the decision to enter
the World war was made. Now it
has witnessed a new phase of Brit
ish history.
IF Ulster decides to stay out Of
this agreement, there will be recti-
fication of her frontier, necessary
TO prevent friction. She has been
advised to join. but if she prefers
she can retain her present status.

TELEPHONE OFFICIALS HERE
Are Planning Certain Improvements
for the System in Boomers Ferry.

(. r. Hannibal of Spokane, super
intendent of the Interstate Utilities
company, and e. ID. Brink of Sand
point, district manager of the same
company, were in Bonners Ferry this
week making a general survey of the
system preparatory to moving the tele-
phone poles from Main street, as
promised by the company about a
year ago. While here they investi-
gated other improvements contem-
plated by the company.
Mr.. Hannibal stated to the Herald
that the expense of moving the poles
from Main street would be very high
and would cost between $4,000 and
$4,000 He stated it would be neces-
sary to purchase and install new
cable while the old line is still in
operation. while / think the re-
moval of the poles from your Main
street a terrible waste of money" he
said, nevertheless we will remove
them inasmuch as we have promised
to do So" The company is planning
to string a cable up Mahoney hill and
thus eliminate the numerous overhead
wires there. 1t also plans eventually
to install another wire between here
and Spokane as the long distance
business now done is too great fol-
present facilities. Mr.. Hannibal stated
1t would be impossible to secure new
cable before next June.
