NEW YORK, N. Y.—Conferences
between representatives of the rail
roads and the four brotherhoods of
railway employes at which the possi
bilities of a settlement of the eight
hour controversy were discussed were
i discontinued abruptly yesterday
when it became apparent an agree
ment could not be reached.
Both sides announced that there
would be no more meetings until af
ter the United States supreme court
hands down its decision on the consti
tutionality of the Adamson act.
The break came, it was learned,
when the railroad representatives re
fused to concede the demands of the
trotherhood chiefs for an agreement
for the enforcement for the new wage
schedule, fixed by the Adamson law,
which went into effect January 1. The
brotherhood chiefs held, it was said,
that their men had the right to begin
drawing the scale of wages provided
by the Adamson law immediately af
ter the law became effective, irrespect
ive of the suits brought by the rail
roads to test its validity.
A statement issued by Elisha Lee,
chairman of the conference committee
of railway managers, covered the po
sition assumed by the roads on this
point. The statement said: “The
railroads will await the decision of the
supreme court in the Adamson law
test case. By agreement with the de
partment of justice at Washington the
railroads will keep a record from
January first of the wages of
all of the employes affected by the
Adamson law, in order that if the law
is upheld by the courts, the employes
will receive the extra back pay due
them. The rights of the employes in
the interval will thus be amply pro
tected.”
Railroads Accused.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—After an
all-day hearing, the interstate com
merce commission took under advise
ment the question of whether it shall
seek to solve the car shortage problem
by ordering all railroads to return
cars of other lines to their owners im
mediately after unloading.
Railroad representatives, headed by
! W. W. Atterbury, vice-president of
the Pennsylvania and president of the
American Railway association, ap
pearing in response to a summons to
show cause why such an order should
not be issued, earnestly urged against
the action. They declared that most
of the roads were doing their best now
to deal fairly with the public and ar
gued that a hard and fast rule by the
commission would interfere with op
erations and make the situation
worse.
Commissioner McChord said the
railroads seemed to pay no attention
to the orders of the railway associa
tion, which has adopted drastic meas
ures to relieve car shortage. “The
railroads,” he said, “not only have vi
olated their written and verbal agree
ments, but have deliberately been en
gaged in the pastime of stealing cars
from each other.”
THE GREAT ADVENTURE.
The romance of the grerft towns!
Do the city bred ever thrill to it as
we of the small towns? I wonder. Not
vulgar bedazzlement with glitter and
swirl—your minor poet or Broadway
dramatist can dish up that ertiotion—
but the mental intoxication of guess
ing at the epic sweep of human des
tinies interwoven in these ^inscruta
ble buildings, these teeming streets.
I mean a glamour as of first hearing
a majestic symphony, performed by a
full orchestra; I mean those first few
weeks of our great adventure, of the
sense and sound of the city drench
ing us with hope and dread; of lift
ing eyes to the upper murk-shot rose
ping from the glare of boulevards; or
into remote brick courts as from
spring freshets thundering in deep
woods over the cataracts of life.—
Seymour Deming in the October At
lantic.
LEAKS OCCUR
WASHINGTON.—A statement that
confidential information received by
the United States government from
other nations had found its way into
the possession of persons who had no
right to receive it was made today by
Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman
of the foreign relations committee.
The senator made this statement dur
ing a severe denouncemnt of the ex
ploitation of the reported “leak” in
administration circles that caused
such a flurry recently in the New York
stock market.
“I do not know whether there is any
foundation in these sensational stor
ies concerning the stock market,”
Senator Stone went on, “but I do know
that things have occurred in the vari
ous governmental departments that
ought not to have happened. I know
that confidential information received
from foreign governments by the
state department, communications
that never would have been made ex
cept in the faith that the state de
partment would hold them safe, have
by some means found their way into
the hands of men not authorized to re
ceive them. The things to which I re
fer did not concern the stock markets.
They did concern the honor of the na
tion. I fear that this betrayal of pub
lic confidence is in some way traceable
to ‘our beautiful civil service.’ ”
The statement made by the chair
man of the foreign relations commit
tee had the more significance in view
of the visits paid Senator Stone at the
capitol Sunday by President Wilson.
