led raid on the British vessel London
Merchant, selling quantity of the
ships liquor, and who was charged by
the federal government with illegal

he had made the raid under a mis-
taken view of his own powers" and
that he had no evidence of any law

RAIL board Asked To
ANNUL AGREEMENT
Western Roads Declare Wage
Settlement Would Make In.
creased Rates Necessary.

Chicago-A committee of managers
OF western railroads will file with the
United States rail labor board a petit
ton asking that the board annul an
agreement entered into December 10
by the Southern Pacific system and its
engineers and firemen by which the
men were granted an increase in
wages.
The petition alleges that the de.
cision was forced upon the railroad
"under threat of an interruption OF
transportation" and declares that
"other railways may also be forced, in
order to avoid interruption Of trans
portion service, to make similar
settlements" The petition further
sets forth that the settlement direct
ly tends to make necessary an ad-
vance in railway rates in western ter
ritory.
The managers call attention to an
order OF the board dated November
29 covering the dispute between most
of the western railroads and the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
man and Enginemen, by which the
board awarded an increase Of about
per cent in wages but made this in
crease conditional upon modification
of working conditions and rules which
the railways contended were restric-
tive and unnecessarily increased oper-
ating expenses.
The committee says that the South
ern Pacific settlement was made with
out reference to changes in rules as
provided in the decision of November
29.
