His outstanding rec
these: ....
The creation of a new national board
Of adjustment, divided into four indie
pendent parts, whose awards would be
enforceable in the courts.
The substitution of a new national
mediation board of three members for
the present board Of mediation of five
members.
The inclusion of all companies which
operate equipment or facilities or fur
nish service included within the defni-
ton of the terms railroad" and
Transportation" in the interstate COM
merce act.
Provisions similar to those in the
temporary emergency railroad trans
portation act of last year, insuring
'the complete enforcement of railroad
employees and homogeneous In the
choice Of representatives to deal one
with the other" and providing ade-
quate means for the enforcement of
these provisions.
The national adjustment board
would be divided into four independent
parts to adjust disputes arising from
grievances or from the Interpretation
or application of agreements between
the railroads and the employees. Each
division would be composed of an equal
number Of representatives of manage
ment and labor. In case of deadlock,
a neutral member would be appointed
by the national mediation board.
THE first quarter of 1894 proved
i the most active in business since
1881, with some lines, notably automo-
bile production, making the best show
ing since 1880. The easing of the Ia
Dor tension with the settlement of the
automobile controversy was followed
by the announcement Of principal
steel companies, and some other in
dustrial concerns, of 10 per cent in
creases in wages.
Spreading of the movement to in
crease the compensation Of labor was
viewed hopefully by merchandise dis
tribution lines and producers Of con-
sumers goods. 1t has added new
element of uncertainty over costs.
Some buying of steel developed in ex-
pectation Of price increases, although
production continued little changed,
just under 80 per cent Of capacity.
Retail trade has experienced pre-
Easter shopping season widely de-
scribed as the best In four years.
Wholesalers are running into a sea-
sonal lull, but retailers are hopeful of
a continuance of expanded volumes Of
spring merchandise as warm weather
arrives. Seasonal lines have been
moving In large volume.
Dun and Bradstreet says reports
during the week indicate a volume of
retail trade 20 per cent above extreme
ly low levels of year earlier, 20 per
cent above levels Of two years ago,
and only little under 1881.
CAMUEL INSULT, fugitive utility
~ magnate, has learned that Uncle
Sam has long arms. He thought him.
self safe aboard the chartered freight
er, on which he escaped from Greece,
anchored at Istambul, but Uncle Sans
long arm tagged him and he was ar
rested by the Turkish authorities. The
council Of ministers Immediately Or
dered his extradition to the United
States. Two eminent Turkish lawyers
on behalf Of insult fled an appeal with
the supreme court Of Turkey against
the extradition order. They ask the
court to examine the legality of the
indictments, claiming that the council
of ministers acted against Turkish law
in ordering the extradition.
Unless the former utilities magnate
is able to perform some new wonder,
his year and a half flight almost half
way around the world has been
brought to an end.
Meanwhile, Washington officials are
making plans to expedite Insults re-
turn to the United States. Whether he
shall be tried on state or federal
charges, or on both, is point that has
not yet been decided. The issue de-
ponds on the terms under which Tur-
key surrenders him.
D ONE witnessed one of the most
IN magnificent casters in its long
history as the capital of Catholic
Christendom. To the usual imposing
Easter ceremonies in st. Peters
cathedral were added this year, by
special will of Pope Plus, the solemn
liturgical rites canonizing Dom Clio
vanni Bosco, humble Turin priest.
Easter also ended the holy year pro-
claimed by the pontiff in commemora-
ton of the nineteenth century of the
crucifixion. Eighty thousand people
pressed inside st. Peters for the
canonization ceremonies and the pom
tifical mass afterwards, and nearly
100000 more were estimated to have
crowded into St Peters square.
Among the crowds were 100000 on
pilgrimages from many different coun-
tries.
