Ultimatum Is Sipned

London, May 5.-Memhers of the

10 o'clock this morning, signed an ul'

AGAINST WAGE
REDUCTION ARE
OFFERED TODAY
NJ. Jewell, President
Railway Employees
Department A, F. L.,
Sums Up R e a S O n S
Why 1t Would Be Dis
astrous to Submit to
Cut In Wage at This
Time.

Chicago, May 5--Arguments against
tha wage reduction proposals submit
ted to The railroad labor board by
railway executives We're summed uI
today by j. VI. Jewell. president of the
railway employees department of the
American Federation Of Labor. He
declared that for the board to order
6 wage reduction now would only
bring the dispute over new nationa,
working agreements back before the
board for determination "in contro-
versy of redCub- ed bitterness and We
WCu.d have a condition of utter chaos
i'll the transportation in duStry.
Negotiations now in progress or
new working agl eements to take the
place of these recently set aside by
the board, could never result in an
agreement before the day of judg
ment.'' Mr.. Jewell declared, If new
wage schedules are established nov
and attempts are made to negotiate
the new agreements on the gasis o.
reduced wage"
We submit. Mr.. Jewell said, "tha
the board cannot make an intelligen
and fair decision as to wage rates eX-
cept it reaffirms the prevailing rates
until the new agreements have bee
fixed and promulgated.
THE reason for this is obvious
Neither carriers nor employees cGi
know what wage schedules mean o
amount to until they know the rule
hy which those schedules are to b
applied. We must have our yart
stick before we can measure GU
cloth. Manifestly railworkers canno
he expected or asked to accept wage
schedule when they have no means
of knowing exactly how much the.
are TO receive under that schedule.
1T is equally manifest so, that t,
establish a new wage schedule befor
the new agreements are negotiated
would preclude the possibility Of ou
reaching any agreement throug
those negotiations. If the railroad
arrangements are not utterly bin,
to their own Sc fish interests they wi.
Join me in requesting the board t.
withhold its decision In the matte
until We have the new agreement. The
de ay will be no longer than the car
rers themselves make 1t.
From the day the roads were re-
turned to private ownership We wer'
determined to have speedy decision
en- the question OF wage agreements
and the carriers rejected every over
ture we made. Responsibility for the
delay lies solely with the carriers.
For this board to make a decision
in this case, unless that decision be
to reafflrm existing schedules, before
working out new agreements woulc
lie TO provoke the employees anew ant
to perpetuate strife and misunder-
standing.

THE FOOLISH MATRONS''
CAST WITH FAVORITES

If there is any significance to
photoplay will look forward with
anticipation to Maurice Tourneur's s
production of THE Foolish Matrons''
which will be seen at the Wilson
Theatre today
The production, which was made
under the direction of Maurice Tour
neur and Clarence l.. Brown will be
presented with one of the most bril-
liant casts that the celebrated pro-
ducer has yet presented to the photo
play fans. Hobart Bosworth whose
popularity has placed him in the
front rank of screen stars will appear
in the leading masculine role while
Doris May will be one of the three
leading women. The story does not
center around a single heroine how
ever and Mildred Manning together
with Kathleen Kirkham will share
equal honors with Miss May. Betty
Shade, one of the best known
heavy" women of the screen and
Margaret McWade will also appear
prominent in the play while Charles
Meredith, Wallace Macdonald, Mi
chael Dark and little frankie Lee
fill out the remainder of a cast that
can not only be rightfully termed
"All-Star,' but one of the greatest
ensembles of popular players that
have yet appeared in a single pro-
duction.

tary of State te advise the Chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee about important steps in for
eign policy even though the details
are frequently withheld. In the case
of a treaty which is likely to be a
source of controversy efforts are
sometimes made to canvass sentiment
in the Senate in advance to determine
a course of action. On this occasion,
there is no explanation of the De-
partment of States policy except one.
1t is being said that for reasons of
domestic politics it might not be wise
to precipitate a controversy before
the treaty is actually signed. When
once the pact is made there would be
difficulty in amending it because that
would necessitate further negotia-
tions with Germany and more delay.
The Hughes policy is evidently to
confront the Senate with an accom-
plished fact just as Mr.. Wilson en-
deavored to do when he submitted
the Versailles pact.
Summed up the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee is officially in
ignorance of the fact that Secretary
Hughes is discussing a new treaty
with the German government. 1t
knows only what the press dispatches
from Berlin have reported, namely
that American Commissioner Dressed
has laid before the German govern
ment a memorandum outlining the
kind of a treaty the State Depart
ment would like to see formulated.
The German government has been
discussing the matter with its COM
mittees in the Reichstag to learn if
approval would be given the pact.
The answers thus far given in the in
formal exchanges are said to indi-
cate eventual agreement but just
what is to be in the new treaty or
what understandings are being sec
reilly made with the German govern
ment nobody in the Senate claims
to know.

WILSON TAKES SECOND
GAME FROM NEWPORT NEWS
Game Characterized by all Round
Work of Buggs, JOliff Pitches in
Big League Style. Kline
Stars at Bat.

In a game featured by stellar work
on the part of every man in the Will
son line up, and in particular by the
wonderful twirling of Joliff Wilson
won the second game from Newport
News yesterday afternoon by the one
sided score of 13 to 2. The shining
satellite of the contest was Taylor
Joliff whom Manager Clark selected
to do the heaving for the Bugs. In
the first inning Allen secured an in
field scratch hit to first base, and
thereafter not a single Shi1builder
secured anything that even looked
like hit until two were out in the
ninth. 1t was then that Harry Lake
secured a single, followed by another
to the credit of Chisholm. Nothing
but hard luck prevented Joliff from
securing a no hit game; at that he
pitched one of the best seen here in
many moons, and with Wilson clout-
ing the ball as they did Newport
News never had a look in.
The game was not uninteresting
even tho the score was lop sided.
Every man in the Wilson line up Sc
cured one or more hits except Wal
ters, and he was cut out of one due
to the fact that the umpire was not
behind the bat where he could see
that the two bagger down the left
field line in the ninth was fair. The
hitting of Martin, Roth, Miller, Head,
Kline and Joliff featured. Martin Sc
cured three hits out of four tries one
being for two bases; Roth secured
two two baggers; Miller single and
a two base hit; Head three singles;
Kline a home run and a double out
of two times at bat; and Joliff two
singles. Altogether the team secured
16 hits for total of 26 bases, and 13
runs.
On the defensive the Wilson team
had one of the best days of the
season. Not single, error was chalk
ed against the team, and practically
plays to his credit. The outfield had
an exceptionally good day securing
total of ten put outs; the prettiest
play of the day, however, was Wal
ter's stop of Campbell's hard hit
grounder in the third.
Kline's playing on both offensive
and defensive was the outstanding
feature of the days work. He was
up twice, scored two runs, secured
a home run and a double, had five
put outs, and batted in three of the
runs. Walker also had a good day.
