He told me all about it; why he
had to sacrifice the great career for
a greater, and how it felt. He let
ne come and see him in between a
Polish diplomat from Washington
and Polish commissioner from Buf-

quarter hours for waiting delegates.

the proposed consolidation is not effected, il. seems reasonably certain that the head quarters of the board will be brought to the capital and some plan of close coop eration established with the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 BOARD FAVORS WASHINGTON.
 It is understood that the board mcmb- CTS have suggested to the President the desirability of a Washington base. It IS known that the board Is going to make tegrity, and Is preparing a plan for sub mission to the administration which 1t believes will overcome the demand of number Of COngressmen for the trans fcranCc of its functions to the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 While the Labor Board awards have not always been satisfactory to the workers, who originally were opposed to its creation. they prefer that 1t be main taincd independently If 1t is to be the continued policy of the government to concern itself with disputes over wages and working agreements. They believe with tribunal in which they have par tial representation they will fare better than with the Interstate Commerce Com mission, which has come to be strongly biased in favor of railroad management
 COMMISSION BIASED.
 In it's recent decisions the commission has given the railroads practically every thing they have demanded. the exception being the recent freight rate reduction. which followed upon the heels of the strike order and was influenced by the pressure of public opinion. For months the farmers of the West have been de- nouncing the existing high rates and have censured the commission for not putting into effect the F per cent wage cut ordered by the Labor Board in July.
 There is also widespread complaint that the commission has delegated to itself rights that are vested exclusively i'll the States, and this subject is certain to have a hearing before Congress when the Capper measure giving the States control of intrastate rates comes up for consideration. Critics of the commits sion charge that it already has too much power, and if 1t should be given juris-

diCtion over the lives and destinies of g. 100000 rail workers the ensuing protest might become SO great that the reaction would destroy the real purpose for which the commission was created.
 RAILROADS FAVOR HARDING
 PLAN.
 It k significant that President Hard ing's position affecting the dual tribu- nalS parallels exactly that taken by the Association of Railway Executives and their propaganda bureaus, Ever since the original wage award of 1920 the railroads have been attempting to dis credit and destroy the Labor Board and have wage and rules questions transfer red to the Interstate Commerce Commits sion. The natural assumption IS that the managers believe they will have better success there in securing the substantial realization of comprehensive plans for Subjugating the rail workers that have been formulated by General Atterbury's tabor committee
 The workers voice does not carry far with the present Congress. nor with the administration, either; but they can be expected to put up the best fight possible ii any attempt IS made to further entangIe them in administrative red tape. Their present attitude is that they prefer to endure an admittedly unsatis factory situa- tlon rather than fly to one that may be infinitely worse
 ANTISTRIKE TALK REVIVED.
 The talk of antistrikc'' legislation. which was heard while a rail strike i'm pended, still persists in official quarters. Senator POindeNter has a bill before the Senate that attempts to outlaw strikes and he IS expected to press for action when the railroad question comes up for at tention. Just how far he will get with It depends entirely upon how far the ad- mlnistration IS prepared to alienate the workers. At no time has 1t shown any particular interest III or sympathy for their, rights and demands It may occur to some administration politicians with an eye to the main chance that 1t has gone as far as its expedient in support of the program of labor hating employers and they will counsel against further ag- graVatiOn of workers

Hart ford with thirtV-Six deaths bV

Hartford, with thirty-six deaths by automobile accidents in 1920. has, with two exceptions, the highest mortality rate of any of the approximately seventy cities included in the( government tables, Youngstown has the highest rate, 26.7 to 100000 population, Memphis is second with 263, Hartford third with 25.7, nov ing picturt Los Angeles fourth with 24.1 and Reading fifth with 231. New Eng land cities have the following rates =

Favorites Played
 by Railroad Board?
New York World Declares Recent
 Record Far From Ideal"

New York, Nov. 11.-"The railroad labor board did not emerge from its pub lie hearings on the strike controversy with flying colors," says the New York World. in an editorial entitled "Going Behind the Strike Vote."
 Its record of impartial treatment, an between the roads and the unions, of vio- lations of its decisions was shown to be far from ideal.
 "Before this crisis under the transpor- tation act has gone by, the country will want explanations from the labor board of these charges. It will want to know why as much publicity and effort were not employed to keep railroad oerlders in line with the law as have been later employed to keep strike offenders in line. To hold the scales even as between rail roads. and employees is primary function of the labor board and to its apparent failure to do so is to be largely attributed the rise of the present trouble.'

CONSOLIDATION OF LABOR BOARD WITH

President Harding Said to Favor Proposal of Railway Execu-
 tives' Association.

Consolidation of the United States Railroad Labor Board and the Inter- state Commerce Commission is said to be desired by President Harding. who intends soon, according to reports, to recommend that this course be approved by Congress.
 The view of the President is that the threat of a great rail strike will remain until something is done by the govern ment to make settlement certain should a crisis again develop.
 It is contended by administration leaders that the Labor Board is too far away from Washington and must be brought nearer the seat of government, that its activities may be more closely ollowed and carefully scrutinized If

taxes levied on the valuation fixed by
the old State Tax Commission be-
fore the original valuation was re-
duced from more than 10 millions to
about nine millions.
The contention OF the respondents
is that the tax commission three
months after adjournment of the ex-
ira session of the Legislature in
1920 attempted lex parte" to hear
the complaint OF appeal from the
original assessment and thereupon
reduced the assessment by slightly
more than 10 millions.
The answer sets forth a denial that
the tax commission had the right to
reduce the valuation of the Cabarrus
county property after it had been
put on the tax books at the original
figures.
