HUMAN DERELICT FOUND
En1anciated Man on Dilapidated Boat Comes Ashore at New Bedfortl-Is Found Eating Grass.

New Bedford, June 21.-This old whaling city, accustomed for gener- ations to hearing strange tales of the sea and the men who follow it, added another story to it's annals today. It centered about the mysterious ap- pearance of battered schooner hulk and a tattered half starved man Aboard her close to the shore of West Island yesterday.
 The man, emaciated and with a heavy growth of beard when found eating grass on the beach by sum- mer visitor, could only tell the police today that he had drifted to the is land and that he had recently been in Boston and New York. His name, he said. was Osmund Ericsson, and his address "the water"
 His unseaworthy craft, measuring 80 feet over all, was lying close in to the shore. It carried a tiny unsteady jury rig made of two pieces of board. Its sails were a few shreds of old clothing. A dozen patches on the hulk had not kept out the water and the mans bunk was half afloat. There was no food aboard.

PICNIC MONEY GIVEN
 INTO FRESH AIR FUND
Girls Forego Own Pleasures and Add to Fun
 for filling
CONTRIBUTORS TO FUND
 FOR FRESH AIR CAMP.

The indictment weather today was
 responsible for a bit of sadness in one quarter which, we hope, will be more than counterbalanced by the joy that is certain to be the outcome. The Merry Maids," a Junior Achievement club here. were all prepared for pie nic and $2 had been saved for the purchase of extra goodies to be eaten out of doors. But the rain caused an indefinite postponement of the picnic and the girls decided that their money would be spent for open air pleasure at any rate-so they contributed it to the Fresh Air fund, and we ac- knowledge it today.
 In addition. there has been rec]ed the check for $100 which was prom ised by the New Britain lodge of Elks several days ago, and which aids in swelling today's total. A consider able sum, not enough, however, has been given to the committee by indi- viduals who have been approached with requests for aid. It is the hope, though, that many people who will not be approached will be willing to help send needy youngsters on an outing of two weeks at the camp and the Herald is handling those contri buttons.
 It takes little argument to con vince one that the children are much benefited in health by their vacation, besides the pleasure that they derive. Two weeks in the country near Bur lngton does much for those who could not afford even a days trip to the shore. The Fresh Air Camp is a community institution. You may help support 1t by sending in your contri- button to the Herald for the Fresh Air Fund"

Union Officials Admitted ly Disappointed at De. lay in Getting Nation- Wide Referendum
All Ballots Are Not for Strike as Illinois Central B0ilermakers Overwhelm- ingly Oppose It.

Chicago, June 21 (By Associated Press)-Union headquarters where the strike vote of railway employees was tabulated today admitted dis appointment over the volume of re- turns in the nationwide referendum of shopmen and other rail workers on the question of walkout in protest against wage cuts ordered by the U. s. Railroad Labor Board.
 Oppose Strike
 Reports on the balloting .at the Burnside shops of the Illinois Central were that the boilermakers there had voted overwhelmingly against strike.
 Only five days remain before the general committee of 90 representing the rail workers meet in Chicago to canvass the returns. The general chairmen are expected to arrive Fri day and Saturday intending to begin the ballot count on Sunday. B. M Jewell, head of the railway employees department of the American Fedora ton of Labor, who urged the union voters to return their ballots early so the result could be announced at the same time the s1s6, 6,oOo,ooo wage cuts become effective July 1. is expected back from the Cincinnati convention tomorrow.
 Get Hooper's Reply
 Rail workers and their leaders to- day were digesting the reply of Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the railroad labor board to the nine union chiefs who informed the board a strike would be authorized if the referendum favors a suspension of work on the roads.
 What effect Mir. Hooper's statement that the proposed strike would be dis astrous to the railway unions, unfor- tunate for their members and unjust to the public would have on the bal loting the remainder of the week was a matter of conjecture.
 Mr. Hooper's letter, which was ad- dressed to Mr. Jewell, said the strike vote should not be taken on any mis- understanding of the action or atti-, tude of the board and asserted that the ultimatum of the union chiefs manifested "a strikingly distorted con- ception of what the board has done and why it did it."
 MT. Hooper said although he felt no reply was required he also felt it his duty to answer the union leaders ip the interest of railway peace and be- cause the threatened strike contains such possibilities of loss and detri- ment" to the strikers.

Proposed Amendment Would Increase Com. mission to 10 and Make Reports Semi-Annuany
Rates Would Be Based on Difference Between Con- version Costs in This Country and Abroad.

Washington. June 21-Machinery for construction of what was described as scientific tariff based on the diff. ferences between conversion costs tn this country and abroad will be set up under an amendment to the pend- inf tariff bill proposed today by Sen- ator Frelinghuysen, republican, New Jersey who as member of the fin. ance committee helped draft the present measure.
 Report Semi Annually.
 Under the terms of the amendment the tariff commission would be en- larged to ten members and would be required to recommend to Congres not later than December 1, 1923 and each six months thereafter rates of duty necessary to equalize the dif- ferences in conversion costs as dis closed by investigations which 1t would make.
 The members of the commission would be appointed by the President to hold office for life and receive salaries of 12,oo0 each, the same as ca binet officers. Not more than i've of them could be of the same polid- cal party and none of them could en- trade or profession.
 Scores Present Method.
 Tn a prepared address explaining his amendment Senator Frelinghuysen declared the present tariff making system was both illogical and un- scientific" Describing that system q "a complication of the statements of manufa cturers. importers. merchants and farmers and of inconclusive data collected by government agencies in- adequately equipped" the senator said the public mind was thoroughly awake to. 'the. abuses of this system and to the necessity for reform"
 Offers No Apology.
 Asserting that in offering his amendment he was not apologizing for the present tariff bill, Senator Frelinghuysen declared that to his mind the measure was as good as could be prepared under the circum- stances and should be passed as quickly as possible in order to re- move from business the uncertainty that now existed. t..
 The New Jersey senator argued th4t his amendment would ''vitalize" the tariff commission and would remove its members from personal and party pressure by establishing . fundamental principle for fixing rates. Also he said, it would give the commission the time, the money and the authority to frame such a bill aS would afford actual not merely sup posed protection to American indus. try and American labor.

 Added to Ruth'S Penalty IS COSTING HIM MONEY TOO
Babe Ruth Is Going To Behave Him. self or I'll Keep Him Out of The Game All Season." Ban Johnson Declares.

Chicago, June 21.-(By Associated Press)-Babe Ruth's argument with Umpire Dineen yesterday before the Cleveand-New York game will keep him out of the game two days in ad- dition to the three days suspension imposed yesterday, President John son of the American league announc- ed today. Ruth consequently will not be able to play until Sunday. Presi- dent Johnson increased the home run kings suspension, originally three days for disputing a decision made by Dineen in Mondays game at Cleveland to five days. when he re- ceived a long report from the umpire detailing remarks made by the out fielder yesterday when ordered off the field in compliance with MT. John- sons first ruling.
 Costs Him Money Too is suspended without pay and that this feature of the decision will cost Babe s1,5oo, or $500 a day which was said by the American league president to be the players salary.
 Babe Ruth is going to behave or I'll keep him out of the game all sum. mer." Mir Johnson said.
 $41.2OO a Year
 Mir. Johnson's statement that the suspension without pay would cost Ruth $1,500 was the first official statement that has been made con- corning the home run kings salary. At $500 a day. on a basis of 154 games Ruth would receive s46,200 for the seasons work. At the time he signed his contract last winter 1t was understood that he also was to receive substantial bonus for each home run.
 Umpire Dineen in the report which brought Ruth's original three day suspension said the player had called him one of the vilest of names.
 There is no player in the Ameri- can League who can call one of my umpires like that and conduct himself in such disgraceful manner on the ball field and get away with it" Mr. Johnson said.
 "The umpires are in charge of the ball games and their authority is go- ing to be respected by every man in the league" he added.

 If a member of the presidents cabinet holds the views Secretary Weeks says he holds. whether as a private citizen or public official he should resign immediately as an of ficial of the government for he has shown himself to be so wholly out of sympathy with what he has sworn as an official to maintain and uphold that he is in no frame of mind to uphold it."
