RAIL BOARD ASKED TO
ANNUL AGREEMENT Nayberger’s Great January
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 peti
tion asking that the board annul an
agreement entered into December 18
by the Southern Pa< "fie system and its
engineers and firemen by which the
men were granted an increase in
wages.
The petition alleges that the de-
ciston was forced upon the railroad
“under threat of an interruption of
' transportation." and declares that
"other railways may also be forced. In
I order to avoid Interruption of trims-
portion service, to make similar
settlements.”
The petition further
sets forth that the settlement direct
ly tends to make nectssury an ad
vance« In railway rates In western ter-
ritqry.
The managers cull attention to an
order of the board dated November
J9 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
6 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.

Portland, Or. — George L. Cleaver,
state prohibition commissioner, who
led a raid on the British vessel London
Merchant, seizing a quantity of the
ship’s liquor, and who was charged by
the federal government with illegal
search and seizure, returned all liquor
seized.
Following the return he handed Cap
tain Anderson of the vessel a letter
of apology in which he admitted that
he had made the raid “under a mis-
taken view of his own powers” and
that he had no' evidence of any law
violation aboard the vessel.
International complications loomed
■when it was found that Cleaver’s un
authorized raid had violated the treaty
with England which was made last
May, and known as the 12-mile treaty.
