When Ordered TO DO So
Hailed as Labor Victory
No Penalties Imposed, as

CHICAGO, March THE United

ruled that the Erie Railroad had vio-
lated previous board rulings In six re-
spects. particularly in reducing wages
of employees and in failing to cancel
these reductions when ordered 10 do so
bv the board The road had contended
that the board must hold q hearing be-
lore ordering restoration Of previous

The railroad ordered a a7 per cent
reduction in the pay Of trackmen, eff
tective February ], and later ignored
me boards order TO restore wages TO
she rates ordered in the boards wage
decision of July, 1920.
The railroad set precedent by its
contention that ii hearing would have
to be held on the board order to restore
the previous rates Of pay. Had to-
DAYS decision been favorable to the
-~Erie i would have opened the way for
scores Of similar contentious by other
railroads, K was said.
Victory for Labor
The decision was regarded in labor
circles IS clean-cut victory FOR the
employees, the board upholding labor's
contention OF violation of decision No.

instance.
The decision did not again order the
road specifically to restore the wage
rates Of decision No. 2. II declared
however. that when the Erie shall
have resclnded the orders constituting
violation of decision No. . and paid
tie wages determined by that decision
and shall have had. or sought confer

The criticism that the due process

was declared unsupported in view of

such authority had been defeated in

HEALTH BOARD
HEAD To ACT
Or. Cassidy to Garry Alleged
Violation of Ordinance to
County Court.

BY Special Correspondent.
kEYPORT, Jan. 31:-chief OF
Police Snedeker, of Atlantic High
lands, was exonerated of breaking
the health ordinance by Recorder
Isaac N. Johnston at a hearing Sat-
urday morning. DIR. S. II. Cassidy,
president OF the local Board OF
Health. is determined that the police
head of the neighboring borough
shall not escape so lightly from the
alleged infringements of the health
ordinance and has expressed his
purpose of carrying the ease to the
county court for a decisjaI.
1t is alleged by the local health
authorities that the defendant vio-
lated the borough health ordinance
when recently he brought Mrs.
Phoebe Gibson and child from At
lantic Highlands at night and left
them at the home of John Morrell
on Second street, which at That time
was under state of quarantine. Mrs.
Gibson, who is a daughter of Mr..
Morren, became i'll at Atlantic
Highlands and under suspicion of
the failment developing into a con-
tagious disease it is alleged that the
health authorities of Atlantic High
lands planned with Chief Snedeker
to bring the patient to this borough.
The Board OF Health was repre-
sented by Attorney Arthur S. Van
Buskirk while the defendants inter-
ests were attended to by Aekerson
and Ackerson of this borough and
Attorney Sweeney of Atlantic High
lands.
After the facts OF the case were
dispensed with, Attorney Cecil S.
Ackerson contended that the health
ordinance Of the local health board
which was executed several years
ago not alone conficted but usurped
power and authority as provided by
recent state legislature and that its
scope and width were beyond the
intent of the state law.
Recorder Johnston upheld the
contention and the action was dis
missed. 1t is understood that the
health authorities will obtain imme-
diate ruling in the status OF the or
dinance and if same is favorable the
complaint will be resumed at once.

Experiment i'm Dramatic Art

Tom Powers. who plays the mas
culine lead in "Cognac." the new
comedy drama by David Arnold
Balch. which comes to the Majestic
theatre tomorrow night is what
may be termed an experiment in
dramatic art. His father was a
banker, and his mother a woman
who loved the stage and the theatre
passionately although she had never
been closely identified with either.
When Tom was born she determin-
ed that he must go on the stage;
and from the time he was able to
absorb n teaching at all. she
trained him with that object in view.
There was TO need of any great
urging on her part. The o had
inherited the mothers fondness for
the theatre, and when he was twelve
years of age he received permission
from his father to use the loft OF
the barn in which to write. produce
and act in his own plays. He began
with adaptations from Shakespeare
and the Bible; but after he and his
fellow actors had nearly burned
down the barn his father closed the
theatre" Curiously enough. his
first serious effort was made in
THE Prince and the Pauper." dur
ing his high school days-the piece
(although in an older dramatiza-
tion) in which William Faversham
is now starring at the Apollo. Mrs.
Fiske saw him in this and encour-
aged him to go on the stage.
