Pullman Company
Denied Wage Cut;
| Order New Parley
Rail Labor Board Decides
Corporation Did Not Obey
Letter and Spirit of Fed
eral Transportation Act

CHICAGO, June 21-The Pullman
Company lost its open shop fight be-
fore the United States Railroad Labor
Board to-day, when the board upheld
the contention of union leaders that
the company had not obeyed "the let
ter and spirit" of the transportation
act, when it conferred with it's en-
ployees in mass meetings.
The board threw out the company's
petition for cut in the wages of it's
shop employees and instructed it to
go back and meet the "duly elected
representatives" OF the employees.
The shop crafts and clerks in the
Pullman works are involved in the
case. The boards decision will delay
any action on reduction in their
wages for several weeks.
Under the transportation act the
company must meet the union leaders,
and, in the event they fail to reach
a decision, file a petition before the
board and ask a new hearing.
The controversy between the Pull
man company and the unions is con-
tinuation of labor difficulties, dating
odSh oSFSidl years, over lHe open SNOp.
The company has declined to deal with
union officers in matters affecting all
employees, taking the position that en-
ployees not members of the unions are
not represented by the labor organiza-
tions.
According to the company's figures,
the total number of employees on the
rolls June 2, when the mass meetings
were held, was 10,079. Of these, 6,172
were present, the company said. 1t
was brought out at the hearing, how
ever, that representatives of the COM
pany presiding at the meetings had no
other authority than to present the
proposition that a wage cut of IL per
decision of the Labor Board, be ap-
piled. The board held that this pro
posal did not constitute q conference

Legislative Probers
Prepared to Begin
Hearings in Public
Preliminary Work by Sub
Committees Completed,
Says Meyer; Truckload of
Police Records Delivered

The joint legislative Investigating
committee has completed it's prelimi-
nary work by the committees, and
is now ready to begin public hearings,
according to an announcement made
yesterday by the chairman, Senator
Schuyler M. Meyer. The public ses-
sions during the summer months will
be held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays.
"We completed the preliminary work
to-day with the examination of several
witnesses before sub committees" said
Meyer. "The opening of the public
hearings only awaits the decision of
Elon Il. Brown, the counsel to the com
mittee. He is expected here to-mor-
row.
1t was said at the committees head
quarters that the public hearings would
not be postponed beyond next Monday,
or Tuesday at the latest.
The committee has gone into nearly
every city department thoroughly, and
has before it the records of the de-
partments it intends to inquire into
when it begins its public sessions.
Yesterday nearly truckload of rec
ords arrived from the Police Depart
ment Chairman Meyer said that all
the records wanted had been produced
as result of the subpenaing of Po-
lice Commissioner Enright.
1t was said that the committee had
about abandoned hope of obtaining the
use of Honest Dam Costigan. Doubt
was expressed by one of the counsel
for the committee that the city could
be compelled to assign any of its en-
ployees to aid the committee as nvesti-
gators.
John P. o'Brien, Corporation Coun-
sci, has maintained that all the city is
compelled to do in lending its en-
ployees Is to assist the committees in
vestigators who may be going over
books and documents, and then only to
the extent of directing them and
pointing out methods. This service
however, can be compelled by subpoena.
At first, when the Police Department
refused to assign Costigan to the com
mittee, Chairman Meyer declared that
the committee would have his services
whether the city administration liked
it or not, and would, if necessary keep
him under constant subpoena,

Craftsman { ia 1920, 900 Haul
Left Not Euen a Finger Print
opened Three Safes by Touch Hearing TO Get Sin
Slair oil Securities; Ransacked Office at Leisure
While Watchmen Made Their Night Rounds

The disappearance Of $500 900 in se-
curitiee from the offices of the Sinclair
consolidated Oil Corporation, as Mas
sau ssau, Street, was said yesterday by the
Pinkerton National Detective Agency
to have been the result of the eleverest
safe robbery ever reported in New
York. Three strongboxes were opened.
apparently by lone cracksman who
worked the combinations on all either
by touch or hearing.
The robbery took place in room
twenty-eight stories above the ground,
which could not be reached by fre
escape. The thief must have worked
for hours while watchmen made their
rounds. He picked door locks, detec-
tives say, made his way by guard at
the ground floor entrance, unlocked
office doors, robbed the safes and broke
open desks in further search for
valuables, without leaving single
finger print or other clew. Never be-
fore, it is said. has burglar worked
the combination of more than one safe
in a, night by his sense of touch or
hearing.
Superintendent Harry Scott, of the
Pinkerton agency, said yesterday:
THE securities were in three bun
dies and were placed Saturday in three
New-York tribune., 1921-06-22

separate safes by three different en-
ployees. The combination Of one safe
only was known to each man. We
are told that the combinations were
not in the desks which were pried
open. 1t appears that the thief either
by touch or. by listening to the tum-
blers worked his way into all three.
ITO gain entrance to the building
ne had to pass guard at the first
hoor entrance and elude watchmen
who were making hourly rounds. The
sob was done some time between Sat-
urday at p. m. and Monday morning.
1t is possible that some one secreted
himself in the Offices before they were
closed Saturday, but hardly likely. 1t
is not probable that more than one
safe could have been left open by ac-
cident, or that more than one combi-
nation could have been left on the
half turn.
"The theory that it was an inside
job and was committed by an en-
ployee or some one who had learned
the three combinations is of course
being considered.
"No finger prints were found. We
are Offering a $4,000 reward for re-
covery of the securities and conviction
in the robbery. No burglar tools were
found"

pass laws that will prohibit or even
embarrass them.
GAS soon as Senator Willis's bill
comes over to the House from the Sem
ate we can pass it and lay ours on the
table and the whole thing will be over
to the President in less time than it
stead supplemental bill"
The letter from Mr.. Anderson said
in part part;
AS superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of the largest state, the
center OF nullification activity in Amer
lea, whose liquor interests have Just
been given aid and comfort by the Rev.
Edwin c. Dinwiddie, once national leg
lslative superintendent of the league,
1t becomes my unpleasant duty to pro-
tect the cause by giving the public
some facts respecting him in order
that his present attitude may be prop
eriy appraised. Since the prominence
given his hostility to the dry program
is due mainly to the fact that he was
once connected with the Anti-Saloon
League the reason why he is no longer
with it becomes pertinent"
Some two years ago, on the basis
o. dehnlte information, L confronted
Mr.. Dinwiddie before the committee
with the proposition that he was seeks eek
ing to be appointed Federal Prohibi-
tion Commissioner" the letter con-
tinues. "He could not and did not
deny it, said Anderson, adding that
while Dinwiddie persisted in his eff
forts, opposition by Sincere prohibi-
tlonlsts" was successful and he was
not appointed.
when Mr.. Dinwiddie resigned over
a year ago from his Anti-Saloon
League position his resignation by its
suggestlon-in sustance that the
need for such work was over (appar-
emily an effort to save his face and
satisfy his grudges by giving the i'm
preston that he was dropping the
le&gue) was calculated to increase the
difficulties of the prohibition work
which he evidently thought he was
leaving.
"Now he is back in the prohibition
fight as de facto ally of the vets,
opposing strengthening enforcement
amendments which experience have
proved necessary, and favoring the
proposal, covered in the bill introduced
by the same Congressman who is lead
ing IN the ngnL TO repeal the whole
Federal enforcement law, to turn pro-
hibition matters entirely over to the
Department of Justice. And, if it be-
comes pertinent, I have the facts to
show that these are not the only in
stances where he has tried to sacrifice
the cause of prohibition for his own
supposed personal advantage"
Mr.. Anderson declared that "Din-
widdie's detection is not a split as
is claimed by the wets," and adds that
the w. c. 7. U. and the Anti-Saloon
League "are sclidly against his liquor
assisting proposals"

Sopyri8nV, ASal' rev ! ork Tribune Inc
LONDON. June 21.--An indication
that the British coal miners may soon
be forced to return to work was piven
oy Frank Hodges, the secretary of their
union. at a labor conference in Brigh
ton this afternoon when he said:
1--WE may have to bend and bow to
the inevitable forces surrounding us
This struggle cannot go on indefinitely.
Inc time must come soon when this
sacrifice and suffering must end. The
leaders must assume the great respon-
siblity rather than allow the miners
to continue until the breaking point is
reached. Human endurance can only
go so far"
Although he made this virtual ad
mission of defeat in the strike that
the miners have carried on for the
past twelve weeks, Hodges added bit
terly:
viii Fight Government
When the te-up is all over, the
miners win never rest content until
they have brought down this govern
ment-until they have achieved politi-
cally what they have failed to achieve
industrially"
The final effort of the miners to
bring about general strike has elic-
tied slight resnonse from worleors n
other trades. They are sufficiently in.
volved with their own difficulties.
1t is estimated to-day that not more
than 1000 miners are actually back at
work rs yet and reopening Of the
mines has again been postponed.
Situation as Chaotic as Ever
London, June 81 (By the Associated
Press although some of the col
lieries have reopened and consider
able number of miners have reported
for work, there has been no general
drift back to the mines. Generally the
industrial situation continues as cha
otic as ever.
The miners delegates who have soae
back to their districts are urging the
men not to break away from the fed

The principal movements back to the
mines took place in the Midlands. IN

and Staffordshire, where the owners
predict gradual resumption of opera
