Rail EMPLOYEES
On Short Lines
Lose Wage Case
Diversified Duties and Press
of Trunk Line Hearing Given
As Reason for Dismis.
sing Petition.

Chicago, March 2S.--The petition
OF 1000 employees Of o7 short line"
railroads for wages and working
conditions Identical Will, those on the
trunk lines was dismissed by the
railroad labor board. The case was
heard last fall on the request OF Is
unions.
Because oi the diversified duties
OF the short line employees, the board
declared twas impractical Ie TO de-
tcrnine what reasonable rules shall
be on the short lines" and without
a uniform classification of work, the
board declared it could not under
take TO determine reasonable wages.
A study OF the work performed on
the short lines ykould be necessary
to establish reasonable rules, the
decision said, and until the general
rules hearing affecting trunk lines is
disposed OF, the board pointed out
that it was impracticable to take
action on the short lines.
Originally 105 carriers, employing
from IS to 400 men each were par
tics to the dispute. Ten electric
lines were dismissed and 25 others
applied the wage scales of the trunk
lines. Under the decision, employees
and carriers may still negotiate their
own agreements on wages or work
ing conditions but the decision stip-
ulated that it should not be consid-
cred as affecting ANY wage increase
now in effect nor any agreement re-
garding wages between any carrier
and its employees"

Intended For u. S. Army

Buenos Aires, March 2S.-The bad
bacon which comprised a part of
the 5000, ,0O0-peso gilt of foodstuffs
and clothing from Argentina to Vi
enna, shipped on the steamer Bahia
Blanca to Hamburg, originated in
the United States, it is asserted in
a dispatch to La Nacion from Ham
burg.
The bacon totaled about 900 tons
and the correspondent quotes the
Shcnker company. which the Aus
trian government placed i'll charge
OF the consignment OF toodStutfs.
as saying there was evidence that
this bacon was originally intended
Tor the United States army and that
trade marks of North American firms
were distinctly perceptible, although
the decomposition was such ii was
impossible to- read the lettering.
A representative of the firm, the
dispatch continues, declared the Ar
gentlne government must have been
the victim OF deception when it pur-
chased the bacon, which was in such
4 state OF putreflcation that it would
not be possible, he said, to use it
even i'll the manufacture of soap, for
which purpose the Austrian govern
ment had directed that it be sold.
The Austrian consul general at
Hamburg has confirmed the reports
OF the bad condition of the bacon,
according to the correspondent. who
adds that he himself personally in
vestigated the matter and found evil
dence OF attempts TO obliterate the
labels and dates, but that the mark

able.
The revelations concerning the
bad condition OF portions of the food
shipments are continuing the sensa-
ton OF the hour in Argentina. Thus
far the government officials have not
been quoted in any comment on the
subject. although it is understood
rigid investigation is in progress.

Passports Not
Required byU.S.
Repeal of War Laws Included
Travel Regulations-Aliens
May Be Affected.

Copyright, 1921. King Features Syndicate
Washington, Marcl, 2S.-Ameri
cans leaving or entering the United
States and outgoing aliens are no
longer required to have passports,
under the act repeating the war laws
approved March 3, though whether
congress in that act Intentionally or
otherwise repealed the law requiring
passports OF incoming aliens, is now
before the Attorney general for de-
termination.
Although not required under our
lawsto provide themselves with pass
ports Americans would find it pos
sible without them TO enter but few
foreign countries, passports regu-
lations being still in effect abroad,
though France and England are
showing a disposition to lift the bars
imposed by the war. Passports arc
still necessary therefore, except III
visiting countries which, do not re-
quire them.
II the attorney general decides that
the repeal act blots out passport con-
troll as applied to arriving iinr1i-
grants, passports cannot be required
OF incoming aliens until congress
passes new law to meet the situa
ton. Nothing would then prevent a
rush of foreigners to this country.
The danger OF the situation is mi
tigated, however, by a fact that a
sufficient number OF would-be imnli-
grants with properly visied passports
already are awaiting the transporta-
ton to fill steamers arriving for some
time to come. and the only ones TO
be affected would be aliens whose
passports showed irregularities as in
the case OF those now under con-
sidcration.
