hood.

strike vote. would be ordered by the

upon sentiment expressed by various

powered only to make recommends
tions and that strike could be or
dered only if a referendum; of the
brotherhood membership favd ed il.
The decision of the labor board,

a reduction that will average Is 2-1o
percent. This is unwarranted and
unfair at this time" he said, adding

duced more than three percent.

ernment won today in the supreme
court in its suit to have the Southern
Pacific company ownership of the
Central Pacific Railways be declared
unlawful. The court in deciding the

solution suit brought to the supreme
court-reversed the decision of the
federal court in Utah which had held
against the government.
The decision of the supreme court,
Justice Day stated, means that the
Southern Pacific was required to di-
vest itself of all stock ownership in
the Central Pacific lines other than
control which it has held since 1885
by lease and 1899 by purchase.

organization plan, aimed at eliminat-
ing duplication and effecting 4 more
businesslike consolidation of several
departmental bureaus and independent
commissions.

ton scheme no support. They are
