REVIEW or PROBLEMS OF
 RAILROAD LABOR BOARD

Chicago. June 1s.-The railroad sit uation today is hopeful and by fall many of the present difficulties will be Emoothcd out, Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the United States railroad labor board. said in statement tonight re- vieV-inE the problems before the board. Neither rates nor wages are permanent, he said. because the conditions on which hey are based are not permanent.
 He expressed the belief that the rail- roads of the country will voluntarily discontinue contracting out work in short time regardless of their opinions as 10 its legality. and said that this will go long way toward restoration of cor dial relations between the carriers and their employees. His statement follows:
 Amid all the mutterings of discontent and rumors of war on the railroads. the note Of the peace bird Is still quite aud lble to me.
 Tt is claimed as one of the inalien- able rights of the citizen in this coun- try 10 cuss any court. board or tribunal tor it's judgments and decisions. Board vested with jurisdiction of labor dis- putes are always in line of fire.
 "A few weeks ago. a leading railway priodicaI asserted that the railroad la. Dor board was completely dominated by the wishes of the labor organizations.
 Within the last few days the public has been informe dthat the board is blind and deaf 10 everything except the sesires of the railroads A discriminate Ing public will find the truth at a point about half way between these two sxtremes.
 This whole railroad question would be easy if it were not so human. It is surrounded by a general mixup of folks wanting many different things.
 The railroad owners want good profits. The employees want high wages The public demands reasonable rates and efficient service. The railroad man. lEaments really desire everyone of these .hings and their problems therefore is a most difficult one. Difficult as may seem the simultaneous accomplishment Sf all these conflicting results. the end Fin be attained if everybody will just teep cussin'.

CLOUDBURsTs HAVE CAUSED
 FLOOD AT PORT JERvIs, N. Y.


 Port Jervis, N. Y, June 1S.-Cloud- bursts late last night and early today overflowed three large N reservoirs, pre- cipitated heavy fioodstreams that swept through the entire valley and left Port Jeryis and it's environs inundated in from two to six feet of water. The prop erty damage has been estimated at close to $1,0oo,0o0.
 The first heavy rains fell while the valley was asleep. Early this morning with the coming of the second downpour streams began to flow through Port Jer- wis streets and the waters of the Dela- ware and Neversink rivers rose quickly and entered the homes on it's banks. Then many of the citizens were aroused.
 At the height of the food mad swirl ing stream fifteen feet deep. ran through Kingston avenue, the main residential thoroughfare. This stream continued to swell and in a desperate effort to save the town from being swept away a par ty of citizers with policemen fought their way in rowboats to No. reser- voir, opened the sluice gates and reliev- ed the pressure on the dams.
 Many families, compelled to flee to higher ground when the water invaded their homes, returned late this after noon when the flood receded. The Del aware and Neversink rivers still are far out of their banks and sweeping small houses and cattle with them.
 number of palatial summer homes on the rivers edges are being inundated by the streams. They nave been aban- doned by their owners.
 Trains on the Ontario and Western railroad and the Middletown and Union vile short line were held up at various times throughout the day because of washouts. In some places trains are running through two feet of water.

TO HOLD A CONFERENCE ON
 SOLDIERS BONUS BILL TODAY

Washington, June 1S-Another fervid chapter in the history of the soldiers bonus and tariff legislation was in pros pect this week in the senate, with all in- dications tonight pointing to further de- lay in action on the bonus.
 Republican senators meet tomorrow morning in another conference virtually in accord with the compromise agreement to hold the tariff bill before the senate with positive declaration for right of way afterward for the bonus measure and its passage before conlgress adjourns. Party leaders of all .Uctions declared that the plan agreed upon probably would be adopted at tomorrows confer ence, and with little opposition.
 The conference action, however, was not to settle the question, few republi- cans not in agreement on the plan and democratic advocates of the bonus prom ising to bring the matter of procedure before the senate for another sharp fight. The effort was said to be to place the senate on record for or against further delay on the bonus legislation. Whether this effort would come tomorrow was in doubt, the naval appropriation bill which it had been hoped to pass yester- day, being still before the senate.
 Among senators said to be planning 1 motions in the. senate to lay aside the tariff measure and proceed with the bonuS | were Lafollette, republican. Wisconsin Johnson, republican, California; Ashurst democrat, Arizona, and Walsh, democrat Massachusetts. Some of the republican membership, it was said, probably would 1 not attend tomorrow's party conference IL was agreed in all quarters. that thu | conference action would not be bindin. but probably would be followed by a sui

 It is suggested that the sub-commls- sion on Russian debts have a French delegate as chairman. the sub-commis- sion on foreign property an English chairman. and that on credits. an Itai- ! ian chairman. A movement has been started among the delegates to induce Jokher Van Karnebeek to remain chair- man of the central commission. thus avoiding inevitable rralries arifmg through the selection of a president from among the other nationalities. 1 The opinion is growing among the dei- egates that discussion of principles should be avoided, 1t being difficult. n not impossible. to reach an agreement with the Russians. considering the abso- lutely antagonistic nature of commun- ism and so-called capitalism Instead. tie idea Is advanced that each question be discussed practically as business proposition.
