SCHOONER, STUCK ON SHOAL,
RUNS AWAY WITHOUT CREW
All Hands Leave Expecting Vessel to Break Up When
She Suddenly Heads for Sea and Gives Men
Lively Chase Before Recapture.

hfteen miles OFF shore and all on board
left in a lifebo9t
Daylight found the ships company
near their abandoned vessel, which.
before their eyes. slid off the shoal and
started for the open sea, making a good
eight knots.
Their launch was no match for the
schooner. which soon left the pursuers
far behind Sorrowfully the captain
turned the launchs head 70 the beach,
determined TO take his chances with the
breakers. J. was a close call. but he
finally beat his way through and landed
near the radio station at Harper's
Island.
Suddenly the station lookout yelled
from the tower that the schooner was
in sight again heading straight for the
beach. Leaving Mrs Ramsey in the
care of the life savers Capt. Ramsey
ordered his crew into the motor boat,
determined to take his chances with the
surf and play a 90 to / shot al winning
his ship Straight toward the launch
she came, then when scant fifty yards
away the mischievous imp Of fate gave
the wheel a turn. The vessel came
about and headed off short again.
In three hours the ship made four
taclls. and on the last the tired and
nerve wrung seamen climbed aboard by
the anchor chain and put the hook over.

Ruling Is Charged.

CHICAGO. April 1S.-rhe United States
Railroad Labor Board to-day ordered
the st. Louis Southwestern Railroad to
restore the positions and pay Of section
foremen and track laborers who recently
went on strike in protest against a re-
duction In their wages to the status of
July 20. 1920.
Positions al bumpers We're abolished
by the road and the work was let, by
contract to the highest bidder. The
Boards decision ruled that "the pre-
tended abolition was not in good faith
but deSi>a to evade the obligation" of
the Boarrs wage decision OF July, 1920.
Regarding new contracts at reduced
wages which the road made with sec
tion foremen and track laborers, the
Board said there seemed to have been
not even the abolition of the position
to mask the attempt at evasion"

CHICAGO, April lS.-Eastern railroads.
appearing before the United States
Railroad Labor Board, opened their
drive to-day for sweeping wage reduc-
tions for all unskilled labor, and, in
some instances. for shop and train
service employees. Five days of five
hours each wills be occupied by each
side. Ninety three roads are repre-
sented at the hearing.
The board decided over protests OF
labor organizations 10 proceed i'm
riediateiy despite the three vacancies,
since FIVE members. a quorum, remain.
Scores Of exhibits, most Of them deal
ing with the cost Of living and wages
for similar labor in other industries,
we're filed with the board as carrier
after carrier laid its evidence before
the board this afternoon. Nearly two
score roads had finished their presenta-
lion when the days session adjourned.
In opening their plea for wage reduc-
lions the carriers declared there had
been a widespread reduction of wages
OF from 10 20 so per cent. and that the
cost of living had receded steadily for
several months.
The New England roads presented
through O. Z. Bardo, general manager
Of the New Haven, a report from the
Massachusetts Commission on the Ne
cessities Of Life, which showed a 55.S
per cent. reduction in the cost of living
since July, 1920.
Hourly wages on New England lines,
as quoted BY Mr.. Bardo, had increased
from Is to 4S1a cents since 1914. 1T will
therefore be SEEN" he concluded that
the increase in basic hourly rates and
weekly compensation varies between lf0
ard 2i0 per cent, whereas the increased
cost Of living at its peak was 1925 over
1914 and IS now G6 per cent. higher than
81 1914"
r. r. Parsons Of the Erie requested
for his road that the soaje or April So
1920, be placed in effect and that the
board suspend its wage decision Of July,
1870, pending reestablishment Of reason
able wages The rates named were
those in effect just prior to the 1870
wage decision, which became effective
May /, 1920. The Erie would make the
boards new decision retroactive II the
old scale did not meet the new decision,
Mr.. Parsons said.
Elisha Lee, of the Pennsylvania East
ern lines, asked reductions affecting
5000 employees following conferences
with practically all employees except the
train service men. The Pennsylvania
asked that rates Of pay varying teFrt-
forially be established. Mr. Lee said
lie submitted an exhibit compiled from
i study OF 1.235 plants. with $4,000 en-
ployees, which showed, he said. that the
rates paid in outside industries We're
generally below those proposed for
Pennsylvania employees.
Mr. Lee also presented an exhibit
showing the comparative cost of living

BLAMES HIGH PRICES
ON OPEN COMPETITION
Such Associations Criminal,
Says Unternyer.

High prices arc due TO so-called open
competition associations in almost
every line OF business, the function Of
which Is to stifle competition and pre-
vent the operation OF economic laws.
This is the conclusion OF Samuel Inter
myer. counsel for the Lockwood COM
mittee which revea led conditions pre-
Nailing in the building trades.
II regard every one Of these associa-
tions as a criminal conspiracy that must
be dispensed with without further tenn
porizing or delay IL there Is TO be any
thing approaching competition" Mr..
Cntermyer said.
He characterized as unfounded the as
sertion by President Harding in his mes
sage to Congress that these associations
are evidently within the law, and said
this statement is the most surprising,
discouraging and demoralizing develop
