set aside an agreement if wage or salary increase is likely to increase the rates of the carrier.
 The board, in it's communication, sets forth that the western managers asked the board to act on the follow ing facts:
 End Disputes
 That the board handed down de- cision disposing of most of the disputes between railroads and their engineers and firemen by granting to the em- ployes an increase in pay and to the carriers certain inodifications of work ing rules, that the Southern Pacific agreed with its men to give the increase ;n pay but waived the changes in rules which the railroads considered burden some snd restrictive, that the agreement was procured through threats of a strike, and that such an agreement tends to increase railway rates in western territory because the employees of other carriers are asking similar settlement.
 The board sets forth that the managers in their protest do not contend that an increase in rates is expected on the Southern Pacific, but that the plea is made that such an agreement on other western roads might result in an in- crease in rates. That the wage in- crease would tend to make rate in crease, the boards decision says, does not measure up to the requirements of

Hopkins of St. Louis, chairman of the executive committee of international council ot religious education and Dr. Hugh \. Ma gill. of Chicago, executive secretary or the international council ot religious education.
 The Tutwiler meeting was called by local leaders of the Birmingham ana Alabama councils of religious educa- tion. when they learned that Dr. Ma gill and Mir. Hopkins were due to pass through the city on their way north :: md for the purpose of laying plans for the convention of the International sun day School association which will meet here early in April, 1926. for n seven day session.
 It was agreed at the close of the con ference that a committee 0t loo repre- sentative citizens of the Birmingham district have general charge of all plans for the 1926 convention, ana the following were asked to select the com 1nittee: Dr. James F.. Dlllard, pas tor of the Southside Baptist church. and president of the Alabama Council of Religious education, George Bell snyder. president of the Birmingham Council of Religious education; Mrs. W. H. Stockham, whose husband now deceased made financial pledge oi $500 to guarantee the expenses of the 1926 convention; Dr. Jesse X. Cook. nresident of the pastors union Dr. Guy F.

 Mir. Bellsnyder said that Birming- ham was chosen for the 1926 conven- tion of the International Sunday schools over such cities as Los Angeles. Detroit and Cleveland, in part because this city leads all southern cites m the number of churches equipped with modern buildings for the promotion of religious education. Before their de parture Mir. Hopkins and Dr. Maglll visited the many of the large modern Sunday school buildings throughout the city.

the law--that a substantial increase in rates will, in tho opinion of the board, be necessitated by the wage increase contemplated. The board also declared that the carriers have misinterpreted the law in assuming that the board has au- hority to suspend wage increase af- fectiug one carrier because a similar increase. if extended to second car rier, might tend to produce a rate in- crease for the second carrier.
 Rates Are Settled
 The application for increased rates for engineers and firemen on most class l carriers except the western roads, was settled in negotiations between the car riers and the employees on the basis of an agreement reached on the New York Central lines. Western carriers insist ed, however, that many rules in this agreement were restrictive and the

 The argument of the managers com mittee that the expense of such . set clement as the Southern Pacific made must inevitably be loaded on the public in the form of increased rates "does not impress the board," the letter said, and added that under such policy a strong labor organization might force carrier to turn over profits to it in the form! of increased wages every time the car rier enjoyed period of prosperity. The Southern Pacific through its general. manager today informed the board that it is no. a party to the request that thel settlement be suspended.

Mammoth Air
Combine Ready
janis. sat,3t

London, Jan. /. CA. p. by MaiD-
The greatest airway scheme yet
promoted is to be launched next year
by the enormously powerful Trans
Europa Union, four of the seven
combined companies in which, are
German in origin and control, says
the Daily Mail air correspondent.
The German companies in this
group, which seeks an airway control
of Europe. are the Aero Lloyd, Run
pier. Junkers and Bayerisher Luft-
Lloyd. The three others are the
Swiss Ad-Astra, the Austrian Oester-
reichische Luftverkehr and the Hun
garian Aero Express. This combine,
in which the Junkers group predomi-
mates, aims at the control of some
thing like 10000 miles of European
airways, stretching from Archangel
in the north to Athens and Smyrna
in the south, and from Lisbon in the
southwest to Nishni- Novgorod, Tifiis
and Teheran in the east.
The technically strong Junkers
firm, profiting by the researches of
Professor Hugo Junkers into light
weight metal alloys. proposes to
supply these great airways with a
standardized type of passenger air
express for both day and night fly
ing, and also with slower bigger
machines for the transport of
goods.

So Prisoners Escape

Lisbon, Dec. 81 ca. p. by MaiD-
So many political prisoners have
escaped recently from the fortress of
st. Julian, on the Tagus river, that
the place imrresses a visitor as being
deserted. Eleven men made sue
cessful exit 4 few days ago. where
upon an investigation was made to
find out why those who thought
prison life irksome found it so easy
to slip away.
Outside of the fact that guards
probably were bribed, the authorities
learned that some years ago a
prisoner escaped by cutting hole in
a wall, and digging a tunnel to a
point outside the Prison. The wall
was filed up by brichlayer among
the prisoners. This man, possessed
of Imagination. stopped the hole with
thin boards which he covered with
plaster. and announced a finished

but he waited until certain of his
friends We're in confinement IN the
same fortress. and then smuggIed in

A French admiral tells a story
about how the Leviathan came near
being sunk in 1918 with $4,000 Amer
lean soldiers aboard. The writer is
Admiral DeGouy and he got the story
from an eyewitness. a member Af
General Pcrshing's staff. One day in
calm weather four submarines moved
upon the great ship which opened fire
with It's four-inch guns. The Ger
mans submerged with the intention
of steering a course parallel to that
Of the Leviathan and firing at huge
broadside target. In n few minutes
the enemy came up astern. The ship
was making 20 knots while the torpe-
does were moving very slowly. It
was learned later that the Germans
failed to get their big game because
the submarines were manned by in
experienced officers on their first trip.
