Chicago, March 16.--Federal investi-
CATION OF the Erie railroads action In
leasing its shops and contracting
shop work to the Meadville Machinery
company Of Meadville, Pa, was ordered
by the United States railroad labor
board to-day.
The board authorized member of
its personnel to invoke 4the aid and
counsel of the department OF justice
and to 60 over the property of the road

The Erie contract system came TO
the boards notice several months ago

LORD DERBY REFUSAL
.STIRS UP AGITATION
His Declination to Be Secretary for
India Is Believed to Be
Final.

London. March is [By the Associ.
ated Press The earl OF Derby's re.
lection of the Indian secretaryship
coming after failure of the unionists
meeting on Tuesday to give Prime
Minister Lloyd George vote of con
fidence, forms the chief topic of con
versation in political quarters where
the effect on Lloyd Georges tenure Of
office is warmly debated.
The refusal of Lord Derby to enter
the government is believed to have
been final, and even the most ardent
eoalitionists are manifestly anxious in
view of the failure of Tuesdays meet
ing and the obvious hardening of the
determination of many conservatives
to cut loose from the coalition.
The premiers political enemies de-
clare it is impossible for him to re-
tain his position as head of the ad-
ministration while depending mainly
upon unionist votes, and urge that it
is time he recognized the fact and made
his threatened resignation definite.
Meanwhile no word comes from Cric-
cieth, Wales, regarding the premier's
intentions. He is spending his time
in resting, golfing and gardening and,
as his friends say, thinking things
OUT while current decisions are left
to Austen Chamberlain and, as is wide
ly asserted, the disintegration of the
coalition proceeds.
II is stated in some quarters that
Mr.. Lloyd George has decided to pro
long his stay in Wales to see how far
the ferment will work before he de-
clares his hand
The question whether after all he
will go 10 Genoa ia also debated in
political circles and it is suggested he

ticipate in the conference. II is also |
thought that if the report that Pre-
mier Poineare of France will not at

Meeting that mainly held him 10
