OF RAILROAD
BOARD is in DOUBT
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The
fate Of the Railroad Labor Board
hangs in the balance as one Of the
results of the strike hal has upset
the transportation business of the
country. A proposal to abolish the
board is under consideration and
may Develop into one Of the big
fights in congress this winter. 1t is
also suggested that the h~eadquar-
ters of the board be moved from
Chicago to Washington. Many labor
IeeGers make no secret of their de-
sire that the railway labor tribunal
be eliminated as a factor in inous-
trial relations. Samuel Gompers.
President of the Federation of La
Dor. is conspicuous among them.
lieves hat there should be no
government interference in the cen
troversies between employers ard
employees, which combats the flea
that there should be any limitat:on
OF the right OF workers to strike,
ard which resists all propositions
looking to compulsory arbitration.
Some of the more powerful of the
railway executives are wholly in
sympathy with these views of labor
Chiettains. They are the bitter end
ders" who have been fighting orsan-
lied labor for many years and, who
believe thai all conflicts between
capital and labor should be fought
out to a finish. The only kind OF
industrial peace that they regard as
desirable is that which when
one side or the other has been beaten
into complete submission,
These opponents OF the Railroad
Labor Board predicted its failure
when the Transportation Act of 1920
was passed. Needless to say, they
have not done their utmost to make
the operation Of the board a sue
cess On the contrary they have
played much the same game that
the government administration Of
the railroads played-placed every
possible obstacle in the way of its
functioning satisfactorily.

Of the promised assault upon it, but

give the board increased powers
to put teeth into the law. rs they
express 1t. They contend that IL
the board has not been wholly eff
fective 1t is because 1t has not mad

had sufficient authority.
History OF the Board
The board was organized in April
1920 and its first task was a wage
case in which it granted increases all
along the line. This decision was ac-
cepted by the arrangements of the
various railroads. However, it was
while this cas vas pending that the
controversy was started that was the
first menace to the efficiency of he
new law and tribunal. During fed
eral operation of the roads a ma

@. In baseball can a runner score
on a double play IL the double
makes three outs, retiring the side?
"A. c. X.
A. Baseball authorities say it has
been decided that a u scored on
a double play which retires the side
shall count unless one Of the oats
of the double play is a forced out
ana provided the runner crosses the
plate before the out has been ccm-
pleted. In a recent game between
Washington and st. Louis, American
League, a question OF this kind
arose. The Washington team was
at bat with one out and a man on
first and a man on third. The bat
ter hit a long drive to left field
which the st. Louis fielder managed
to pull down. throwing to first to
catch the Washington player who
had taken a chance that there would
be a hit and was well on his way
past second to third. The Washing
ton player who was or third waited
until the fielder had caught the hall
and then started for home. He
crossed the plate before the second
out of the double was made at first,
but the umpire ruled that the run
should not be counted. The Wash
lngton management insisted that
this was a mistake on the umpire's
part and stated that the decision
would have been appealed had it
been the tying or winning run.

I do not now recall the amounts or the aggregate amount of all the coll lections, but my best recollection is that the amount was more than $500 and possibly less than s1,000.
