ARBITRATION MENACED.
Lee Says Western Men Must Do Same
Work for Less.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. juno 25 R).-
The decision of the rail arbitration
board to refuse the wage boost to con-
ductors and trainmen west of Chicago
will ''tend only to destroy arbitration"
William G.. Lee. president of the
Brotherhood : OF Railway Trainmen,
said here today.
1.-THE decision is an unfortunate
one" said Lee. "It means conductors
and ,trainmen on roads in the East
and South will get more money for
the same work than conductors and
trainmen in the West"
He expressed satisfaction with the
action of the board which gives a tx
per cent wage increase to yard men,
explaining that he believed the same
should be done if the conductors and
trainmen are dealt with justly.

VIOLIN PRIZE GOES
TO 12-YEAR-0LD BOY
Paris Musical Critics "Stupefied'
by Playing Of New Youth
full Prodigy.

PARIS, June ga 12-year old vio-
linist is the latest musical prodigy of
Paris. He is MIGUEL Candida, who last
night won the first prize of the Ma
tional Conservatory of Music over "a
other competitors in a contest which,
according to eminent critics, brought
out the best talent in years.
"He is without defect" says
Comodea, theatrical and musical daily,
in referring to his triumph. "One is
stupefied by such an ensemble of
qualities"
The history of Miquel's progress re-
sembles that of other violin prodigies.
His father. who is a violnist of note,
gave him an instrument when he was
five and a half years old and "he
never stopped playing" according to
his family. His sister also is vic.
linist and won a prize in 1924, but un-
der less dramatic circumstances than
the victory of her brother.
Miguel looks like a regular boy. He
gets his hair cut whenever it needs
it and has not acquired a soulful
gaze or other stage mannerisms. But
his playing stirred the staid old jury
Of the classic conservatory to superla-
tives.
Miguel says the ambition of his life
is to become a fine soloist" like his
father, not realizing that he can play
rings around his proud parent.

WESTERN RAIL MEN
ARE DENIED RAISE
Board of Mediation Gives
,Yardmen Increase-Conduc-
tors and Brakemen Lose.
BY the Associated Press.

~ the Associated fFess.
CHICAGO, June 25.--A United
States board of mediation today de-
cided conductors and trainmen on So
Western railroads are not now en-
titled to an increase in wages, and
held that yardmen on the same roads
should receive an increase of ~ per
cent.
Todays award affects approximately
$4,000 employees. Twenty-Five thou
sand yardmen will benefit from the
increase which is retroactive to
March /, this year. The rail workers
refused a raise include conductors,
brakemen and baggagemen.
Two Members Dissent.
Two members of the board, f. p.
Curtis, secretary -tr2asurer of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and j.
A. Farquharson, vice president of the
brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
dissented from the opinion reached
by the other four members. They
filed q minority opinion holding that
conductors and trainmen should re-
ceive an increase as well as yardmen.
The majority report was signed by
DIR. w. nj. w. Splawn, president Of
the University of Texas, chairman;
Everett c. Brown of Chicago, repre-
j. w. Higgins, the railroads repre-
sentatives on the board.
Based on Agriculture.
In denying an increase to conduc-
tors and trainmen, the majority based
its conclusions on agricultural condi-
tions in the West and its belief that
men in those services now are re-
ceiving pay commensurate with wages
paid trainmen and conductors on East
ern and Southern roads, where in
creses Of III per cent recently were
granted.
Curtis and Farquharson contended
the ma jority was influenced by the
roads claim of agricultural depres-
sion, although the same roads in peu-
tioning the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for rate increases in the
Western farming districts introduced
evidence to show that farm conditions
had returned to pre-war normality.
Return on Investment.
The net earnings of Western roads
in 1925 provided return Of some
thing more than 4 per cent on the
invested property, the majority
opinion declared. Should it have
awarded increases to all petitioners,
the opinion said the railroads would
earn less than per cent.
Referring to its reasons for adding
to the pay of yardmen. the board as
serted:
"By reason of previous wage ad.
justments the men in the yard serv-
ice are in relatively much less Ia
vorable position as compared with
men in the train service than they
were in 1915"

Golf Versus Tennis Now
 Subject of Speculation

London, May 25 R-Gossip about Helen Wills turning from tennis to golf has aroused keen discussion in England as to the qualities of the two games. Experts agree that ten- his players often become good golf CTS. but that good golfers rarely make their mark in the tennis world.
 For example, it is pointed out that tfe late Doherty Brothers, highly successful on the tennis courts, turned to golf and in couple of years one of them played from two handicap Whereas there is no rec ord of a great golfers starring at the net game. Cyril Tolley, former British amateur golf champion, the experts declare, essayed tennis sev- eral years ago. but without marked success and soon returned to his first love.
 The general opinion among those who have discussed the two sports is that tennis demands youth, speed and ability while supreme concen- tration and conservation of body power and nerves, and perfect syn ohronization of mind and muscles are necessary in golf.

MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP
 WON BY WESTERMAN

of the contestants, 1t Is understood, were qualified to attend the New York institution. but only one could be chosen.
 George Westerman began playing the violin in public at quite an early age, and 1t has been clear to every one who has watched his progress that he has been gaining rapidly. In the past few years he has been one of the most popular of local violin ists, and in spite of his years-he is only 13-he has charmed innum- erable listeners. He studied with Herbert 4. Anderson, who has been grooming !him for the contest which terminated last night. A year or so ago he also began teaching. Be- lieving it desirable that musicians, regardless of the instrument they might be playing, should also study piano and harmony. in order to at tain a more thorough knowledge of the art, he has also studied these two subjects with Theron w. Hart.
 
 member of the New Britain Musical club. has played in quartets spon- sored by that organization, and has been a member of the newly formed ensemble of the club.
 "Oh. am so glad" calculated his mother, Mrs. George w. Westerman, 16 Carmel street, when informed of her sons success today. T hardly know what to say, I am so overjoy- ed. George has worked hard for success with his violin and I am pleased beyond words at him win ming the contest"
 II don't know what to say. I am so pleased" said the father of the boy. T certainly am proud Of him, and I know he will do his best in New York and be credit to New Britain
 It was less than year ago that Kate A. Stanley gave money to the Musical club for a scholarship to go to the most talented music student in New Britain. Later it was found that the money donated was not sufficient to defray a years tuition fee, so the donor gratiously added sufficient to the fund to meet the needs. Meanwhile the Musical club sponsored a scholarship fund con- cert at the Capital theater. but the proceeds from this will not now be needed, the two gifts by Miss stan ley being sufficient. The money ob- tained by the Musical club through the scholarship concert is at interest and will be used as the nucleus of similar scholarship activities later, perhaps netx year.

 In the present schedules there is a differential favoring the move ment of export wheat to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. The mayitime association asked that Boston be given rates in line with the other Atlantic ports both on grain handled entirely by rail and on grain moved over the Great Lakes to Buffalo and thence return cd to the railroad for the haul 10 the coast.
 While the commission said that it might be possible 10 prescribe identical rates from Buffalo to the Atlantic ports. the facts brought out in tho hearings were not suf- ficient to justify action. It was held that rates in general were req sonable, and that the charge of dis crimination against Boston had not been proved.

 The actions were against Frank J. Lynch of Bloomfield, husband of Miss Arnold. and Mrs. Josephine Me- kee Larrabee of Newton Center, Mass.
 Miss Arnold and Larrabee both charged misconduct. naming the de- fendants as correspondents. Mrs. Larrabee and Lynch denied the charges. A cross petition for divorce on grounds of extreme cruelty filed by Mrs. Larrabee was dismissed.
 If 1t were not that the matters involved in these suits are of such a serious nature. the whole affair might be termed a comedy of acci- dents," Mir. Berry wrote.
