ASK DISMISSAL OF SUIT.
D. S. Officials Oppose Return of
Seized Bergdoll Property.

Thomas W. Miller. alien property
custodian. and Frank White, treas
urer of the United States. yesterday
asked the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia to dismiss the suits
brought by Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll
Of Philadelphia and her son, Charles
A. Braun. for the return of property
and securities valued at S190.00O
which have been seized, as belonging
to Grover C. Bergdoll. = the draft
dodger. who has been declared an
enemy under the trading with the
enemy act. The government officials
declare that the suit filed by the
alien property custodian at Phila-
delphia for an accounting from Mrs.
Bergdoll raises substantially the
questions involved in Mrs. Bergdolrs $
suit here.
The claim is made by the government
ment that Mrs. Bergdoll, not having
complied with her duties under the
act to make accounting as attorney
intact for her son Grover, is in
open defiance of the terms of the act
under which she seeks relief and is
not, therefore. entitled to any equita-
BILE or special relief. They deny that
any seizure was improperly made
United States Attorney Gordon, AS
sistant United States Attorney Arth

PUTS MORAL DUTY
UP TO RAIL: FORCES
Ben W. Hooper, Labor Board
Member, Says They Must
Serve Public.
By the Associa ted Press

CHICAGO, November S-Railroad
employees are morally bound to give
the public efficient and uninterrupted
service and share with the railroad
arrangements responsibility to the
ernor of Tennessee and member of
the Railroad Labor Board, declared
today before the Chicago Traffic Club.
Upon the theory that railways are
public utilities. enjoying under their
franchises 4 practical monopoly, the
right of eminent domain and other
powers, the government has assumed
the right to regulate the carriers in
! numerous particulars" Mr.. Hooper
said.
Rights Of Labor Recognized.
ut seems to me this theory is ap
| plicable to the employees also. for the
government has bestowed upon the
employees the highest dignity and
power ever conferred upon labor in
| any land. The transportation act
! places the carrier and its employees in
| a contractual relationship. 1t is this
| recognition of the rights Of. labor,
coupled with a guaranty of judicial
protection against arbitrary and un-
fair treatment, which, in my judg-
! ment, makes it morally obligatory
upon the employees to give the public
emclent and uninterrupted service. as
|
Mr.. Hooper declared the proposal TO
invest the Interstate Commerce Com
! mission with power to fix wages was
| unsound. He said such an idea in
VOWED "a glaring fallacy.",
Wages and Rates.
THE fixing of wages cannot be
made to depend on freight rates." he
| said, because there has been a re-
duction in wages and it necessarily
| follows that the carrier is thereby
| ena abled to stand a reduction in rates.
1t does not necessarily follow that a
! reduction in rates justifies a reduc-
| tion i'll wages. 1t may or it may not.
1t must be remembered that the car
rier gets the direct benefit Of every
cent of a wage reduction. But the
public gets the benefit of a rate re-
| duction.
! IF the Interstate Commerce Com
| mission We're empowered to fix wages.
| it would have to do it on the same
| basis on which it is now done by the
Labor Board and not upon the basis
| of freight rates"

SOUTH AND NORTH CHINA
NOT A UNIT AT PARLEY
Ma 500, Canton Representative,
Corrects Statement and Denies
Relations With Peking.
In a statement issued yesterday

In a statement issued yesterday Ma
500, representative of the South China
government III Washington, denied
published reports that DR.. G. c. WI.
son of DR.. WI Ting-fang. minister of
foreign affairs in the government OF
South China, had arrived in Wash
ington as a member of the Chinese
delegation to the far east confer
epce. The statement said:
"The southern, or Canton. govern
mcnt has nothing whatever to do
with the Peking delegation. 1t Is not
interested in the personnel OF that
delegation, nor is it any longer in
rested n what the members Of that
delegation may or may not do at the
conference. the Canton government
has not delegated its power to the
Peking government to speak for it
internationally, and it cannot, there
FORE recognize the claim of the
Picking delegation to represent it in
Washington in any way.
I'm view of the fact that the South
China government has no representa-
tives at the conference. it takes this
opportunity to declare once more that
it will not be bound by the decisions
Of the conference that may have ref
erence to China"
