LABOR BOARD DECISION
NO SURPRISE HERE
Executives See Fair Test of
Agreements Coming.

K Railroad executives in New York ex-
pressed no surprise that the United
States Labor Board decided that 1t would
postpone a decision In the application
OF roads to abrogate the national agree
ments pending a full hearing.
1t Is expected here that the board win
now go ahead with the hearings. giving
both sides the opportunity to present
evidence of the fairness or unfairness
of the work.. & applications OF the ma
tional agreements.
All the railroads asked, according to
w. G. Besler. president of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, was that the
promise made by President Wilson be
kept. that the railroads would be re-
turned to their owners in the same con-
dition as when taken over" Mr.. Besler
said there was no request on the part
OF the roads that the Labor Board can
cer' their wage agreements. but that
what the roads asked and were denied
was the reinstatement OF the working
conditions which were in effect when
Federal operation began.
The existing agreements, Mr.. Besler
said, were imposed upon the roads by
the Government and result In terrific
losses. Practically every railroad IN
this country" he contended. lis con-
fronted with a situation so serious as to
border upon crisis"

BAKERS SEE NO CUT
IN PRICE OF BREAD
Costs Offset Decline in Flour,
They Declare.

After g conference of housewives and
wholesale and retail bakers at City Hall
yesterday 1t was tacitly admitted by
the conferees that no reduction in the
price of bread was to be expected for
the present. 1t was admitted that retail
bread prices have not reflected the de-
cline in flour. but figures given by the
bakers appeared to prove that this econ
omy was offset by high production costs.
The conference was called by Mrs Louis
Reed Welzmiller. Deputy Commissioner
Of the Department of Markets.
Harry Upton. accountant Of the Shuts
Bread Company. said that the who!esal-
ers' profit on fourteen cent loaf. ac-
cording to January prices, was sixteen
one-hundredths of a cent. Flour now
costs $S.75 to $40, and this figure is 100
to 125 per cent. higher than before the
war, he said.
In 1914. said Mr.. Upton. when flour
cost the wholesaler from $3.50 to $3.75 a
barrel. the profit on fourteen cent loaf
was one-third of cent. Costs OF other
materials than flour have increased 40
to 100 per cent, labor between 125 and $50
per cent and the cost Of wax paper 1876
per cent. above pre-war prices, accord
ing to his figures.

ELECTRIC ROAD HEADS
FAVOR FLEXIBLE FARES
Cost of Service Plan Urged in
Chicago Conference.

CHICAGO, Feb. Reinforcement Of
the Federal Electric Railways Commits
sion's report to President Wilson as the
basis on which electric railways Should
join with the public in efforts to meet
local conditions" marked the midyear
conference to-day of the American Elec-
trio Railways Association.
Prominent recommendations in the
commissions report. made recently af-
ways problem, are that flexible fare sys-
TENS, which will vary with operating
costs. be established that fair valua-
tions be made along with voluntary re-
duction of excessive capitalization, and
that companies snd employees reach
agreements which will make cessation
OF service owing to strikes impossible.
Other recommendations were that the
cost OF service plan be tested and that
roads be relieved of paving and other
special taxes. Private ownership was
indorsed. but IL was recommended that
legal obstacles to public ownership be
removed.
The Federal Commission was COM
posed of men from many walks of life.
Included In its personnel were w. d.

Association OF Street and Railway EIn-
9loyees of America, and p. II. Gadsden,

make rebuttal to evidence presented by
seven Independent employees organ
lzations on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Railroad Labor Board tonight re-
used to grant a motion by employees OF
the Atlanta. Birmingham and Atlantic
Hallway that the hearing on the request
of that road to reduce wages be thrown
out on the ground that legally 1t did not
come under the jurisdiction of the board.
The employees contended that the
board did not contest the reasonableness
OF the present wages but had maintained
only that IL could not pay such wages.
that IL now was losing 100000 month.
and that to continue as at present would
place the road on the scrap heap.
They cited a paragraph n to-day's de-
cision on the national agreements which
said all questions involving expense of
operation. on the amount of money nee
essary to operate. was not in the juris-
d.ction of the board and should be taken
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The board. however. decided to allow
both sides to present testimony Of any
character. but warned them that the
Transportation act placed certain lim.ta-
tions on the board.
Judge r. NJ. Barton. chairman OF the
toard. refused to answer question put
by Z. r. Curtis for the employees as to
whether "to-night's decision does not
contradict to-day's ruling"

tors Are Told.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1o.--Unless trades

ernment regulation of the coal industry.
organized labor's opposition to II will
be unyielding. Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent OF the American Federation of
Labor. to-day told Senate committee.
The federation chiefs statement, to-
gether with prolonged and at times
heated contest before the committee over
an allegation by Representative Huddle-
ston (Ala.). Democrat, to the effect that
coal mine operators had INDUCED in
Wholesale looting of the public" and
that the national Coal Association had
something to do with fixing the prices"
took up the entire day.
Mr. Huddleston's statement was fatty
denied by j. d. A. Morrow. vice-presi-
dent of the coal association, and when
the representative said ne had a steno-
graphic transcript OF directors meetings
in which prices were discussed. Chair
man La Toilette took hand. He called
upon w. B. Reed, secretary of the as
ISOLATION to produce original copies of all
such records. but was informed that all
of them had been destroyed after being
summarized in formal minute books
the records. Mr.. Reed said. before they
went into permanent form. and Chair
man La Toilette suggested this was
editing by attorney"
Mr.. Morris asserted that agents of the
Calder Senate committee on reconstruc-
ton had spent two days and two nights
In our Offices" and that he had insisted
that every association record be exam
ined by them.
Call on the Calder committee for our
records" he added. "They took every
thing they wanted, and we don't know
whether they have even brought the
papers back now. though they got them
December 49,"
Mr.. Huddleston agreed to return to-
morrow with the transcript in his pos
session. although he told the committee
he could not say how it came into his
possession.
Mr. Gompers repeated his general OBJ
lection to the regulative legislation, say
ing tina. the Sherman antitrust law
and Lever act for war time food and
fuel control had been turned against
abor. Provisions of the Calder bii.
"in 80 far as they may be applied to

u. S. COURT ENJOLNS RISES
IN LONG ISLAND RAIL RATES
Staten Island Rapid Transit Company Also Gets Two
Weeks to Show Cause Why Intrastate Edict OF
the I. G. C. Should Not Be Annulled

that neither the Long Island nor the
Staten Island lines do any interstate pas
senger business and that the regulation
Of rates. therefore is outside Of the Ju-
risdiction of the Interstate Commission.
This effort to head off the heavy in
crease in the price of tickets to such
travellers on those lines as do not use
Communication tickets follows failure to
obtain relief through actions recently
prosecuted by the State Attorney-Gen-
eraI and the city in State courts. In
yesterdays new action the Corporation
Counsel represented the city.
Prior to the fight in the State courts
the Public Service Commission. while
permitting the 40 per cent. increase in
freight rates, had declined to allow the
Interstate Commerce Commissions order
for the new passenger rate to go into
effect on intrastate hauls. The Long
Island and Staten island lines then took
their cause back to the Interstate COM
mission and were supported.
The New York herald., 1921-02-11

The city began an action yesterday
before Judge Garvin of the United States
District Court, in Brooklyn, to restrain
the Long Island Railroad and the Staten
Island Rapid Transit Company from
continuing in effect the 20 per cent. in
crease in passenger and milk rates which
we're put into operation several weeks
ago under an order of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Judge Garvin issued an order to the
railroad companies to show cause within
the next two weeks before a statutory
court consisting of Judges Garvin and
Chatfield of the Brooklyn district. and
Judge Manton of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in Manhattan. 1t
will be the first time a statutory Fed
eral court has been convened in Brook
lyn in four years.
The city will attack the power of the
Interstate Commerce Commission to pre-
scribe intrastate rates. 1t will be argued

Unions Claim That Com

Attorney for Men Asserts That
Roads Are Not in Finan-

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Decision of the
United States Railroad Labor Board
to-day that the national agreements
shall remain in force until completion
of the present hearing was character
lied tonight by railroad employees as
victory.
The ruling came as a surprise both
to railroad and labor representatives
and upset plans of union officials for a
bombardment of the railroads request
for immediate abrogation of the agree
ments.
Fortified with legal battery headed
by Frank p Walsh, the labor repre-
sentatives appeared to-day to answer
the request of w. w. Atterbury.
speaking for the railroads, for quick
abolition OF the national agreements.
The boards decision against granting
the request left little for the labor men
to do except file a statement prepared
by B. M. Jewell, president of the rail-
road employees department of the
American Federation of Labor.
his SldleluttlI diiQ
by Mr.. Walsh charged the railroads
with being a party to an attempt at
wiping out collective bargaining and
crushing all labor organizations. When
they had finished they were unpre-
pared to proceed with the regular re-
buttal of the railroad evidence object
ing to the national rules and the hear
ing went over until Monday.
Losses Grow Heavier.
Mr.. Jewells request for time in which
to prepare his testimony met with pro-
test from the railroad representatives,
but he promised to canvass the situation
tomorrow and advise the board on Sat
urday when he would be ready to pro-
ceed.
1T have been up in an airship for ten
days. and a committee of eighteen men
has been working day and night on this
reply to Mr. Atterbury," said Mr.. Jewell.
I'VE are wholly unprepared to proceed
now"
Both sides of the controversy ex-
pressed qualification that the hearing
would proceed in the regular manner.
w. w. Atterbury. speaking for the rail-
roads. declared tndt IL tnctS Wao
urgency on January 81. when l made
the request of the board, there is still
more now. December reports from the
Interstate Commerce Commission show
that I15.0OO miles of railroads did not
earn their operating expenses and fixed
charges for that month"; The railroads
have contended that abrogation OF the
national agreements would mean a big
cut In their operating expenses.
W. Jett Lauck, consulting economist
for the labor men. however. declared the
real issue was not the rules themselves.
but what they concretoiy sanction-the
principle of collective bargaining on the
basis Of union reorganization"
when this principle has received the
boards sanction no further disturbances
or acute controversies will occur on the
roads," Mr.. Lauck said.
