New Rail Working
Code EmbOdies
Important Changes

Chicago, Dec. New working rules
for the 100000 railroad shopmcn, in
Guiding at least two important
changes, were handed down today by
the United States Railroad Labor
Board. This decision supplanted the
agreement entered into by the en-
ployes and the United States Hailroad
Administration Sept. 90. 1912. The
rules were passed unanimously by the
board. including the vote of A. Q.
Wharton of the labor group, who cast
dissenting vote upon the las: wage
cut.
One OF the most important changes
was the permitting apprentices to do
certain repair work formerly restrict
Cd to journeymen in that craft. An
o'her change provided for representa-
ton OF minoritics in the presentation
OF grievances to meet the contention
OF the railroads that old national
agreements practically forced a closed
shop on the railroads.
1t will result in an estimated annua!
payroll of So0,000.0 900 to the railroads
and will form the basis upon which
adjudication Of all future wage dis
putes between railroads and their en-
ployes will be based.

Vienna. Dec. 1-(By A. PIN the
wide spread riOting which took place
in Vienna today many Americans

swept through the inner city: they

cesses.
At seven o'clock tonight the
streets were quiet and further dis

U. S. COMMITTEES

were submitted by. General Pershing
and that on submarines by Admiral
Rodgers. The views on new weapons
of warfare were outlined by Carmi
A. Thompson's subcommittee.
Adoption today by the American
advisory committee of a. report on
submarine warfare prepared by Ad-
miral Rodgers was construed as in
dicating no divergence of view. be-
tween the civilians Of the committee
and navy officers as to the legitimate
place of submarines among naval
weapons.
The navy generally holds that I'M
der-water craft are desirable addi-
ton to the fleet and no more subject
to misuse than battleships or other
surface-craft. 1t is believed the COM
mittee which is representative OF
American public oponion in every
walk Of life, indorses this view. The
illegal use of submarines naturally.
it was said would be condemned by
both naval officers and icvilians..
The report was sent with others OF
the advisory committee to Secretary
Hughes for such use as he may de-
sire to make of it in the course of the
conference. 1t was not made public.
When the question OF submarines
comes pu, however. the American
delegation will have the backing OF
American public opinion as CLEANED
by members of the American Advis-
DRY Committee to support American
opposition to any proposal to abolish
submarines or to limit their size In
any drastic degree. The British dele
cation has indicated it would raise
the matter OF the size of submar-
ines and hte tonnage allowance I'M
der the Hughes replacement plan
when that item was reached by the
conference.

Two Boys Taken
at Point of Gun
in StOre-One Armed

Hold up your hands," was the
command heard and instantly obeyed
by Lloyd Bush at > o'clock in the
morning Wednesday,, as he stood in
the store of James E. Morrisette of
Oakland holding a revolver in his
hands which he had levelled in the.
direction of a flashlight trained upon
him and which missed fire when it
is alleged he pulled the trigger.
AS a result Of the encounter. young
Bush, who is Is and Maurice l.. Sui
Ivan. who is Is years were arraigned
in the municipal court of this city
Thursday before Judge Charles w.
Atchley, on a charge of breaking and
entering. Probable cause was
found and the boys were placed I'M
der bonds of $500 each. Sullivan's
father, Robert T. Sullivan and his
mother. Annie X. Sullivan became
sureties for their son and as Bush
was unable to secure bonds Thurs
day he was taken to Augusta and
placed in the county Jail by Deputy
Sheriff Lord of Oakland.
James F.. Morrissette testified that
he had been missing things from his
candy and cigar store in Oakland
since last September, but at first had
no idea who was the thief. He later
suspected Bush because of the lat
ter's avoidance of him when they
met and at last the losses became so
frequent that he with his clerk
named Damren planned to capture
the intruders if possible. They Sc
cured a revolver and fashlight and
went to the store Tuesday night
where they waited until > o'clock in
the morning, when they heard some
one unlock the front door and enter.
The intruders came ia and went be-
hind the counter and began to gather
Things.
Mr.. Damren threw the glare of the
fla shlight full upon the two and
found young Bush and behind him
was Sullivan. Bush, it is alleged
pulled out a revolver and levelled it
in the direction of the searchlight
and pulled the trigger, but the weap-
on missed fire. Mr. Morrisette then
commanded the pair to hold up their

who was telephoned for. Deputy
Lord took the boys to his office and
kept them till 3 O'Clock when he
brought them to Watervile and
locked them up until the hearing.
Judge Atchley found that Bush is
an orphan and has not been working
for some time. Both of the boys be-
long to respectable families. Bush
completed a year in High school but
left during the second year. Sulli-
van had about the same schooling.
He said that Bush asked him several
weeks ago if he wanted some cigar
cites and he said he did. Bush said
he had key and it seems that his
brother worked there once and the
key was obtained in that way. He
said that once they went in and got
seven or eight dollars in money
Bush said that he was sometime
hungry and spent what money he
took for food. Judge Atchley told
him that was a poor excuse. Bush S
brother. Arthur, was in court and
seemed to feel keenly his brothers
predicament.

grand jury, nor does he, or any
member of his family know except
ybv rumors that there is any such in
tentions. He could not have antici-
pated that Mr.. Dobyns, special coun-
sci for the shipping board. would do
the unprecedented thing of announc-
ing his purpose publicly, which an
nouncement was made five days after
he had sailed. The government vised
his passport and they have reason
to believe knew that he had sailed
when its statement was issued.
The sailing last month was his
third sailing to Europe within the
past T. months for the treatment OF
a malady which seems to be growing
daily more serious. The last sailing
was under the advice of his family
physician that he would have to I'M
dergo an operation if he desired to
saye his life. He will come back to
the United States when ever his
presence is desired and when he is
in physical condition to do so.
1T is false for anyone to suppose
he could avoid an indictment by a
trip abroad. Everyone knows that
the government has the power to Sc
cure his presence. 1t would be I'M
thinkable that he should wait around
in critical physical condition"
From current gossip, the state
ment continued, it has been learned
that the government proposes to in
dict not only Charles w. Morse, but
"othcr Morses and other individuals"
connected with contracts between the
Morse companies and the emergency
fleet corporation.
1T is proposed" the statement
said, Ito meet whatever charges may
be made by the government and
furthermore intended that they shall
in a proper way somewhere, some
time, have their liabilities to our
companies determincd; they have
from time to time offered to submit
all questions at issue to arbitration,
even to an arbitrator chosen from
among attorneys representing the
United States shipping board, emer-
gcncy fleet corporation. This offer
has been submitted in writing and is
not susceptible of any misunder-
standing. They are ready to meet the
government in any legal forum
which it may select. At this time
there is nothing pending against any
OF the Morses anywhere.
