tho employees, was the easiest way
to, settle disputes.
"The report was not q recon-
mendation," he said. "The ma
jority of the committee held an
open mind on whether boards of
adjustment should be national,
regional or local The objection to
regional or local boards was that
they would require too many men.
Mr.. Atterbury held that national
boards meant national agreements.
That was the fundamental distinc-
ton between the majority and
minority reports"
Mr.. Gray declared. under ques-
tioning, that he had resigned as
chairman when the member roads
adopted the minority Atterbury re-
port and, although continuing as a
committee member, suggested that
Mr.. Atterbury be appointed,
National Rules Impossible.
J. NJ. Sheehan. counsel for the
railroad committee, before the
labor board, asked Mr. Gray to tell
what he thought about national
agreements, contending that the
line of questioning had not borne
on the justRess nor reasonableness
of such rules.
'My feeling is that it is prae-
tically impossible to devise rules
which operate justly and reason
ably over the whole country" Mr..
Gray said.
MIR. Sheehan asked if there had
ever been any disagreement on the
continuation Of national agreements
by the rail executives.
Never" Mr.. Gray replied.

Mr.. Sheehan then referred to the
eleven fundamental points laid
down as labor's "bill of rights by
union officials yesterday.
Gould any road operate with
efficiency with all these rules IN
effect?" Mr.. Sheehan asked.
Certain of these rules are very
restrictive" Mr.. Gray replied. 1T
is almost impossible to set up any
set of rules which will do justice
to all"
Earlier today T, Dewitt Cuyier,
chairman of the executives asso-
citation. was on the stand and
maintained that he had no part in
the formation or adoption of any
labor policy. He refused to admit
there was any difference of opinion

Washington, March 19.--The de-
cision of Chief Justice White in
the Panama Costa Rica boundary
dispute ''must be the unalterable
position" of the United States gov
ernment, President Harding de-
clared today in reply to an appeal
from President Porras of Panama.
Although he expressed regret
Panama should feel wounded by
the decision, described in the Por-
ras message as painful and hu-
initiating" Mr.. Harding declined to
consider any other basis of settle
ment and asserted that the state
department note insisting on en-
forcement OF the decision had his
party's approval.
Costa Rica Has Accepted.
The exchange between the two
executives was in the nature of an
ad interim discussion while the
state department awaited Panama s
reply to its note. Costa Rica has
accepted the White award.
President Porras recalled the
expressions of friendship from
Panama given by Mr.. Harding last
November during his visit there
and voiced a hope that tho Pana-
manian people must not be disap-
pointed In their faith in the new
administration. To this President
Harding renewed his avowals of
cordiality, but added that the ex-
ercise of friendly relations always
must be tempered by justice.
President Porras' cablegram
said:
Demand from state department
that my government would accept

initiating. More so when two leg
