pIoves throughout the United states
won a sudden and dramatic victory
over the railroads here today when the
United States Railway wage board nat-
= refused to grant the plea Of the
railroads for abrogation Of the ma
tIonaI agreement and permission to r9-
duce wages of railway workers. the
decision Of the board was a complete
denial Of all that the railway execu
lives have contsnded for.
Tho decision came as climax 70
weeks OF hearings and was a complete
surprise to Frank Walsh. genera
counsel for the Railway Brotherhoods
and B. N Jewell. head Of the railway
department of the American Fedora
tion OF Labor, Jewell was just prepar-
ing TO present to the board a. state
ment in support OF his contention that
the railroads should not be permitted
to reduce wages of their employees.

assume Jurisdiction in the plea pre-
sented on behalf of the railroads by
W. ". Atterhury, vice president of thS

through Judge r. n. Barton. it's chair
man, the following conclusion:
1T is the judgment of the board
therefore that the request OF the rail-
ways executives for immediate ternt-
nation Of the existing rules must be
and is accordingly denied.
The board must also deny the re-
quest OF the association OF railway
executives as presented by the chair
man of the labor comnlitte that that
much OF decision as fxes wages for
4Dskilled labor be set aside and pre-
vailing rates of wages in the various

railways must continue to deal with
employees according to rules drafted
during the life OF the United States
Railroad Administration and known as
the National Agreement" Wages and
scales fixed by this agreement remain
in effect despite the plea of the reads
that to continue the present basis o.

KLUX PUNISH, BRAND
 DALLAS NEGRO
(By United Press)

Dallas, Texas, April 2.-First horse whipping Alex Johnson, Dallas negro mobbed for intimacy with a white woman, 15 Dallas men then branded on his forehead the fiery cross of the Ku Klux clan and released him, muti- lated and suffering the utmost misery, on the main street of Dallas today as warning to other negroes" Elm blems of the klan were burned scien- tifcally into his forehead with acid and cannot be removed.
 Johnson, it was said, was surprised by the 15 Dallas men in the room of a white woman, whose name is not given, at a Dallas hotel. He was forthwith removed from the city, the committee" first kidnapping and blindfolding two newspaper men who were later ordered to act as press agents for the affair so that all de- tails would be given widest publicity. Johnson was told at the conclusion of his "treatment," to tell other negroes that the klan would visit the same punishment upon them when caught in similar offenses against the white race.
 Outside the city limits, the 15 men dressed as was the Ku Klux Klan in days following the civil war, halted and placed Johnson on trial in the manner followed by the original klan Johnson was placed under a tree and the moose knotted around his neck A single pine fagot burning brightly lighted his face while the leader of the klan examined him.
 Johnson is said to have confessed his intimacy with the woman at the hotel and also other white women. Twenty-Five lashes were applied to his back. The fiery cross was then burned on his forehead, and the klan, still led by the cross, proceeded back to Dallas. Johnson was released in front of the hotel where he was caught.
 The negro had recently been ar- rested by police on charges of va grancy. He was released shortly be- fore the committee" uncovered his alleged intimacy with white women. The owner of the house in which he lived had also received 'black hand'' letters, warning him that violence would be resorted to unless the ten- ant was compelled to vacate.

CHARLES, BEATEN,
 IS AGAIN EX|LfD
lBy United Pressl

Vienna, April 2.-Officially repudi- ated by both Austria and Hungary and fallen within the short space of "A hours from potential monarch to a courtless jester, ex-Emperor Charles is on his way back to exile in Switzer- land. He is under Spanish guards for safe conduct. British guards will ac- company him on the last lap of his luckless journey.
 Charles left Hungary on special train last night. Elaborate prepara- tions were made to guard him and secrecy surrounded his departure. His dream of restoring the fallen house of Hapsburg was shattered when the Austrian house of parliament by unanimous vote stood for continuation of the republic and repudiation of Hapsburg claims to the throne once belonging to the family by divine right.
