the Mayflower; Henry B. Fletcher,

coast from New York SO the President

By prearranged plan no publicity was

Limits Right
To Discharge
Employees Ousted by Mis-
souri, Railroad for Join
ing Union Are Ordered
Restored With Full Pay
View of Court Reversed
Decision Said to Violate
Law in Order to Decide
9 Justly and Reasonably"

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.--The United
States Railroad Labor Board to-day
established precedent that railroads
do not have the right to discharge en-
ployees without just cause, in deci-
sion ruling that the Butler County
Railroad, a forty one mile line in south
ern Missouri, must reinstate two
men released because they belonged to
the same union as the men working
under them. The decision said the
board was fully aware that its ruling
was contrary to numerous United
States Supreme Court decisions on the
matter, but that it construed its duty
to be to decide every question Justly
and reasonably, regardless of the legal
rights of either side.
HThe board is fully aware of the
Supreme Court decision Chat a cor
poyction has the right to discharge
its men as it sees fit) and has no dis
position in any way to question the
soundness or business of these de-
ei4ions," said the boards ruling.
Board Lacking in Power
The ruling then pointed out that the
transportation act, creating the board,
gave it no power to enforce its decree,
and that one might take the view that
the board was to decide it's cases ac-
cofding to the legal angles and that
= court would uphold and enforce them
or that it was to decide Gin Just and
reasonable manner" which would be as
fair as possible for all concerned.
"The public interests demand con-
tinuous and uninterrupted operation

assume that the purpose Of iae congre SIS SIS
Gin passing the transportation act)
was to provide as effective means as
possible to prevent an interruption of
traffic growing out of disputes. But
without regard to. which view Of the
purpose of this legislation is correct
the board nevertheless feels
that 1t should decide all disputes in a
manner just and reasonable to the
parties concerned and that
Congress did not intend or expect to
limit the Labor Board accord

disputes never could be solved"

no."
Arriving delegates proved reticent as
to the probable result, but it was
stated that a majority of engineers
of the Delaware Lackawanna & West
ern Railroad had voted to strike. The
ratio was about the same, it was said,
among fremen and engineers. No Sc
cret was made of the general belief
that nationwide railroad strike would

strike vote will be given out before
October IL, few days before the cut
is scheduled to become effective.

Three Of the four beavers that
escaped recently from the beaver pond
in the Bronx Geological Park returned
yesterday of their own accord. The
other was brought back few days ago,
having permitted himself in moment
oftpreoccupation to he covered with a
wash boiler in the hands of some boys.
The four beavers had been away
about week. They went to Bronx
vile with view to making their home
in the Bronx Creek. According to Ray
mond Ditmars, curator of reptiles at
the park, and wise in the ways Of
beavers, they din't like it there. The
privacy of the pond in the park was
lacking, and the manners of the pub
lie when relieved of the restraining in
fuence of cast iron fence with warn
ings on it were not all that they should
be.
Mr.. Ditmars was sitting IN his Office

"they found that they could not work
and live in peace in Bronxville, so they

Tunnel Way to Freedom
He stopped with his thumb the to-

sentence on the almost human intelli-
gence of beavers, told how the beavers
made their escape from the park a
week ago Wednesday.

of the beavers in the pond died.
"The surviving beavers left the house
IN which death had occurred and built
new one about fifty feet away, and
close to the edge of the pond, near the
railing of the enclosure
I'VE thought for time that the
beavers, among other things, possessed
ideas on sanitation. But now 1T is
evident that the construction of the
new house was nothing more than a
