PENNA. ROAD HIT
(Continued from Page One.)

of issuing the rebuke now recorded the Pennsylvania obtained from for mer Federal Judge Landis a tempo rary injunction restraining the arbi- tration tribunal from resorting to this action on the ground that the Labor Board did not have jurisdiction.
 Federal Judge George T. Page later refused to dissolve this injunction, and the Department of Justice, repre- Senting the Labor Board, carried the case to the United States Court oi Appeals, which reversed Judge Page. The carrier in its turn took the issue mp to the Supreme Court, which on February Io, 1923, held the board had Jurisdiction of the matter in dispute.
 The most recent development in this notable feud between the Penn sylvania Railway and the Labor Board, prior to the reprimand just entered, was the appearance here a few weeks ago of Samuel Req, presi- dent of the road, in response to an informal, but rather peremptory, summons from Ben w. Hooper, chair man of the board. l%
 President Req, at a public hearing, reiterated the Pennsylvania deter imitation to deal directly with it's em- ployes, and again challenged the Fed eral boards right to intervene
 The Labor Board reprimand reads in part as follows:
 "The course adopted by the Penn sylvania system in this matter is in defensible from every viewpoint It cannot be justified on the ground that the contention of the employees or the decision of the board deprived the carrier of the right to deal with it's own employees.
 'The plan called ''employe repre- sentation,' which the Pennsylvania system assumes to have originated, is guaranteed in the transportation act of 1920 and prevails on the railroads throughout the United States
 'If employe representation means anything at all it signifies the right of a class of employees, through majority action to select their own represen- tatives to negotiate with the carrier agreements covering wages and work ing conditions.

NEW YORK, October 19.-Lawyers
contesting in the retrial of w. E. d.
Stokes divorce suit against Mrs
Helen Elwood Stokes today awaited
the appearance of Edgar T. Wallace,
named as the principal correspondent
by the wealthy hotel owner. Wallace
has announced his intention of testi-
flying in Mrs. Stokes behalf. San
Francisco reports early today said
that Wallace left that city for New
York late yesterday.
Wallace, who testified at the first
trial, is expected to refute the often
repeated charge that Mrs. Stokes had
on several occasions visited him in
his East 35th street apartment.
Defense counsel were surprised at
yesterdays session. when Horace G.
Knowles, former United States min
lister to Rumania, Serbia, Nicaragua
and Bolivia, testified he had seen Mrs.
Stokes late in 1914 or early in 1915
in the Wallace apartment and on the
stairs leading to the apartment. Mr..
Knowles had not testified at the first
trial.

Stokes, testified yesterday and re-
peatedly contradicted his story of
having seen Mrs. Stokes at two of
Wallace's apartments. He was the
third witness for the hotel man to
repudiate a statement filed by Mr.
Stokes just before the trial. Epps
was a messenger for the Interborough
Rapid Transit while Wallace was an
engineer for that concern.
Knowles, to be sure of himself. said
he had visited the courtroom the first
day of the trial to see Mrs. Stokes
and identify her as the woman he
saw in the Wallace apartment.
THAT was the first time you had
seen her since 1915, but you are sure
now she was the woman?" asked
Mr.. Untermyer.
II am sure"
Mr.. knowles said he had never seen
Wallace in the apartment. DO you
want me to tell you why?" he asked.
NO." answered Mr.. Untermyer.

SCRIBES GET RIDE
Pencil Pushers Get Unexpected Trip
 In Patrol Wagon

Newspapermen in all their glory are not exempt from rides in the patrol wagon. as George R. Traf- ford secretary to Commi ssioner w. B. Cloe, used the black Maria" to transport five pencil pushers to a barbecue dinner which he gave in their honor Wednesday at noon. Lit tie was thought by the scribes that other than taxis would be comman- deered for their use. but their att titude changed when they were forced into the patrol at the city jail and ushered out on Third ave- nue and Seventeenth street amid large and curious gathering.
 Like all other people, reporters have habits of snatching sandwiches at the most convenient place, but the prospects for regular barbecue dinner was almost too much for them. After the ride in the patrol their appetites were soon whetted to capacity.
 Those who attended the lunch were Mfr. Trafford and reporters from the News, Post and Age Herald.
