CLEVELAND, Jan. 29.-Heads of three
big railroad brotherhoods in forma
statements here tonight said the rail
road men of the country will not
peaceably submit" to the wage reduc-
tions which Chicago dispatches say
the railways will seek from the United
States Railway Labor Board in petit

men, and l.. f. Sheppard, president Of
the Order Of Railway Conductors
made this declaration In formal state
ments A similar declaration was
made Thursday by Warren S. Stone
grand chief of the Brotherhood Of Lo-
connective Engineers.
All the brotherhood executives declare
that reports of decreases in the cost of
living are not borne out by actual con-
ditions. but are the result OF propa-
ganda that the wages OF railway en-
ployees did not increase as rapidly as
did the cost of living, or as much. and
that railway men are not now receiving
as high a standard OF wages as are paid
in many other industries
Mr.. Lee asserted that in his opinion
some, IL not the greater portion. of the
business depression has been brought
about solely for the purpose of prejudic-
ing the public in the interest of a reduc-
ton in wages generally
Mr.. Carter declared that "notwith-
standing all the wage increases made
either by the Railroad Administration
or the Labor Board, II can be shown
that because of the great increase In
the efficiency of railroad employees
there has been no practical increase In
wagc costs compared with product
Mr.. Sheppard asserted that 'to admit
that In this country of ours II Is neces-
sary to make an onslaught on. labor at
this time. after all the country has done
for the railroads. is absolutely un-
American
Messrs. Lee. Carter and Sheppard also
pointed out that the railway employee is

Bernstorf Jewels Held
Ransom for Whites
MIASHINGTON. Jan. -

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-At
the instance of Senator
Knox, Republican, Pennsylvania,
the Senate stopped wrangling
over emergency tariff proposals
long enough to-day to adopt an
amendment to the alien property
act, so the wife of Count Won
Bernstorff cannot get back her
valuables from the Alien Prop
erty Custodian while the property
of daughters of Henry WhiteJ
American commissioner to the
peace conference, is held.
Senator Knox thus described
the situation, saying under the
act an American born woman
married to an enemy alien prior
to the war could retain her prop
erty, while the daughter of
American parents, born abroad,
and married to an enemy alien,
was classed as an enemy alien
herself.

New York Herald Bureau,
Albany, Jan. 20.
Gov. Miller's plan for saving New
York city's transit system from "the
scrap heap or bankruptcy" is being
pushed forward with all the speed
possible. The legislative leaders have
begun work on the bills which will
embody and carry out the Executives
ideas and the bill drafting bureau will
have the measures ready for presenta-
ton in about ten days.
There are to be two bills. One will
supplement the rapid transit act and
the other will amend the public SER
vice law. 1t is a difficult task to draft
such measures because of the necessity
of conforming to court rulings made in
recent years on numerous points. and
at the same time TO revamp tho law
and make it sufficiently flexible to meet
the new situation.

Last Race I'm 1908.
His Majesty desires that this race
be an actual championship race for the
supremacy of the seas" Baron de Cav
tier said. "and therefore the arbitrary
conditions for the start have been de-
clded upon. Particulars regarding the
finish off Ostend will be announced
later. King Albert's cup win become
the permanent property of the winner
and suitable commemorative medal
will be presented to each of the con-
testants."
Each member OF the starting COM
mlttec will represent his club exclu-
sively. The duty of the committee VIII
be to conduct the actual starting and
consider any protests or fouls that may
arise before the starting signal, at
which time its duties cease.

German Kaiser. Eleven boats entered

A storm Of Controversy.

One measure will adjust the State

will take into consideration the subway

create the new Public Service Commits
sion, lodging in it's hands the transit
powers now resting with the Public Ser
vice Commission. some Of the authority
of the Board of Estimate and the juris-
diction Of the transit commission.
Even before the bills are ready and
their real purpose understood thoroughly
the storm of controversy which has
broken through the State on the whole
subject has aroused the Legislature and
the party leaders as has no other con-
fiict in recent years.
In spite of the Governors repeated
assurance that the question Is not
whether a five or six cent fare shall
be charged. the opposition is straining
20 the limit TO set up that scarecrow
before the Legislature. The first spasm
OF fear which somewhat alarmed the
leaders last week has begun to subside.
In its place is coming the demand that
The Governors calmness in the face of
the uproar and his assurance that the
public will indorse his plan when IL Is
understood and robbed of It's misrepre-
sentation. has stcadied the Legislature.
But there is no doubt that there Is
terrific fight ahead II promises to
be the most bitterly contested battle
staged in the Legislature since the bills
were passed 10 regulate horse racing.
AS 1t now stands. the situation is New
York city against upstate. In the frst
rush to take sides, the New York dele
cation In the Senate and Assembly
flocked into one corner regardless Of
politics or any other consideration. Their
understanding was that the issue was
to be a cleancut contest on whether
higher fares should be voted, and on
that they were a unit against an in
crease.
