FOUND GUILTY
OF VIOLATION
Railluay Labor Board
Decides for EN-
ployes.

Chicago, March THE railway
labor board today handed down .
decision ruling that the Erie rail-
road had violated previous board
rulings in six respects, partcu-
larly in reducing the wages OF en-
ployers and in failing to cancel
these reductions when ordered to
do 80 by the board. The road had
contended that the board must
hold a hearing before ordering res
toration Of previous rates Of pay.
The railroad ordered a u pei
cent reduction in the pay Of track
men. effective On Feb. l. and Later
ignored the boards order to restore
wages to the rates ordered in the
boards decision Of July. 1920.
The road set q precedent by its
contention that . hearing would
have to be held on the boards or
der to restore the previous rates OF
pay.
Had today's- decision been favor
able to the Erie, it would have
opened the way for scores OF sim
liar contentious by other roads.
The decision was regarded as
victory for the employees in labor
circles, the board uphOlding labors s

The position Of the board re-
garding the question Of inability
to pay the wages ordered, which
has been the chief bone Of con-
tention in several recent cases. was
set forth in today's decision, which
said:
1T is the Judgment Of this board

itself wages due its employees IN
such amount as to make expenses

to Costa Kica and Panama by
Charles E. Hughes, American sec
retary Of state, asking that hostili-
ties between the two countries
cease. produced a painful impress
sion," President Porras of the re-
public of Panama, said last eve
ming.
This impression was caused, "
the president continued, because
he advises US to withdraw from
Coto, which we have recovered
from the Costa Ricans."
The president reiterated his re-
cent statement that the arbitration
award handed down in 1914 by
Chief Justice White was unac-
ceptable to Panama.
It Is understood the United
States cruiser Sacramento, with an
eagle boat, has arrived at Bocas

firmed, since the Balboa headQuar-
ters Of the Fifteenth naval district
issued a statement saying that Ad-
