LABOR BOARD MEETS
TO CONSIDER CASE
OF P. R. R. EMPLOYEES
Railroad Company Still Holds
That Board Exceeded It's
Powers.
NO CHANGE is EXPECTED
BY Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening
Chicago. Sept. THE United States
Railroad Labor Board met in execu-
tive session today to consider the ac-
ton of the Pennsylvania railroad in
refusing TO abide by one of its orders.
The differences grew out of an cleo
ton held by the employees Of the road
TO name representatives TO act for
them in a conference with rail off,
cials regarding company rules and
working conditions. The road held
that all Representatives elected must
be employees of the road. while The
workers claimed the right to have
the names of the organization officers
appear on the ballot. Members of the
six shop craft unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor re-
fused to vote and the board ordered the
road to call new election on or before
August Is.
The road asked for more time and
was given until August Is to comply.
The road then announced the board
had exceeded it's authority and re-
quested that it severse its decision.
This the board refused TO do and in
sisted that the order be complied with
In a statement Elisha Lee, vice
president of the eastern division of
the road, accused the board of graf
uitous and unwarranted interference y
and said the road was willing to leave
it to public opinion as to whether the
board was right. He intimated that
the road would continue to refuse
to abide by the boards order.
Beyond censuring officials of the
road, the board has no authority to
take any direct action when its de-
cisions are violated. it was said.

DESOLATION COVERS

mayenkena. Russia. Sept. -
Desclation IS written large on the roll
ling prairies which stretch away on
every site Of this little village in the
heart Of the famine region of the
volga. Cattle and horses have crop
red the sparse herbage until the very
grass roots have been eaten. and the
hot winds that blow across the waste
raise great clouds Of dust.
The winter wheat must be sowed
soon, bat nowhere has there been any
preparation for the fall seeding. There
are no horses TO plow the ground and
the people are unable to secure seed
Z. thS next harvest. So the fields
are not made ready TO receive the seed.
The leaves that still cling 70 the trees
are gray, and even the peasants look
gray, being clad mostly in khaki uni
forms and grain sacks. and wearing
sandals made of birch bark.
This village formerly had popula-
ton of 1000 but 40 cent of the
people have left. Deaths from hunger
have been numerous. the peasants
say, but there are no detailed figures
available. Cholera has not been epi-
demic here or in other villages Of
Samara province, hut there have been
a few scattered cases. In the city Of
Samara and in other crowded centers,
however. hygenic conditions have been
bad because Of the influx Of great
gumbers Of refugees.
Peasants here are pessinistic over
the coming Of relief. Pure rye bread
costs 5000 rubles a pound. while meat
also costs 1000 rubles per round. and
only a few OF the wealthy people are
able to buy.
