BOARD IN
HOI: FIGHT
Majority Members Lash Mi
nority Report Charging Bad
Faith and Bolshevism
Wage Cut Moderate and
Proper Minority Accused
of Inciting Men to Strike.
CHICAGO, Juno 17. (By the As
sociated P rt'HH ) Majority members
of the United States railroad labor
board who yesterday ordered another
slush from wages of the nation's
railway workers, today retaliated to
criticisms of minority members of
the bourd with the charge that the
dissenting: members presented "in
cendiary arguments in a strained and
exaggerated effort to inflame the em
ployes to strike against the decisions
of the board."
The minority, constituting two of
the three labor members, were ac
cused of "sowing some of the tiny
seeds that have germinated and
blossomed into industrial anarchy in
Ttussia.'
Yesterday's decision, which lopped
nearly $27,000,000 from the wages of
325.000 railway clerks, signalmen and
stationery firemen, brought total re
ductions effective July 1 under the
( board's orders, up to- $135,000,000.
'Approximately 1,200,000 railway em
ployes are affected by the orders.
Accompanying yesterday's order,
carrying reductions ranging from two
to six cents an hour, was a lengthy
supporting opinion from the mem
bers representing the railroads and
the public, and the dissenting opinion
by the labor members condemning
the order.
In their prompt rejoinder today
.the" majority members said:
Urge Men to Strike. f
"There is one feature of tho dis
senting argument, "which Is so un
usual that it should not be passed
over without notice, and that Is the
portion wherein the two- dissenting
members advise the employes to
strike against the decision of the
board.
"It is something new for labor
members of the board to issue incen
diary arguments to employes in
favor of striking against a decision
of the board. Ttte giving of advice
of this kind has heretofore been left
to outsiders, who were not under the
official obligations imposed by the
transportation act, the main purpose
of which is to prevent, railway
strikes and protect the public from
their dire effects.
'.'A fair statement of the facts will
convince any disinterested man that
no injustice has been done to these
employes by the present decision and
that the decrease in their -wages is
conservative 'and is based upon the
law and the evidence.'
Recognition of budgets proposed
by the minority would result in the
loss of hundreds of millions of dol
lars to the railroads each year, the
majority members continued.
"This shortage would have had to
be paid by some form of taxation on
the public, presumably freight rates,
which would have added to the
burdens of every Individual in the
country, rich and poor," they said.
Common Sense Should Rule.
"It is well to remember," the state
ment continued, "that the time will
never come fn this or any other coun
try when ordinary rules of common
, Re.te and business, call them eco
nomic laws if you wish, can be abso
lutely Ignyed in the conduct of any
Industry. The latest instance In
which these laws have been thrown
overboard and replaced by fine spun
socialistic theories both in railway
and other industries, is found in Rus
sia, and fhe result there Is not one
that this country desires to emulate.
"The minority are sowing some of
the tiny seeds that have germinated
and blossomed into industrial anar
chy In Russia when they make such
statements as this: 'They (the eco
nomic laws) are simply a description
of the way in which business and in
dustry ha worked to date, and It
has worked, out very badly for hu
man life.'
"it will be readily conceded that
our social and industrial system has

LEADER STAIE
A. F. L. Determined to Find
Way to Escape Supreme
Court Decision Congres
sional Veto of Supreme
, Court Decisions Suggested.
CXCINNATI, June 17. (By the
Associated Press.) Labor's interpre
tation ot the supreme court decision
in the celebrated Coronado coal case,
holding international unions subject
to damage suits under the Sherman
anti-trust law,' was presented today
to the federation's of labor conven
tion by the federation's executive
council, composed of Its 11 officers.
"The supreme court cannot crush
the labor movement without endan
gering the foundations of society,"
declared the reoprt. "The workers
will not accept slavery. Therefore,
they will find a way to preserve those
liberties which they have and to gain
more as time passes "
Xo means for overcoming the decis
ion was suggested by the council on
account of the creation by the conven
tion of a special policy committee for
this purpose, but the council declared.
It was "extremely alive," to the at
titude of courts as outlined to the
convention by Senator Lafollette, of
Wisconsin, who urged a congressional
veto of supreme court decisions.
Organizations of farmers and other
unincorporated association of indiv
iduals were said by the council to
face the same plight as the trade un-
ions, for it was said the opinion ap
plies to them with equal force as it
idoes to labor organizations.
Section six of the Ciayton act, con
strued by the report as exempting la
bor union from the anti-trust laws,
was declared to have been passed by
congress "to ratify the wrong" done
by the suprome court In the famous
Danbury hatters' case, holding the
workers liable for damages as lndtv
iduals and as a union.
"Evidently the supreme court does
not intend to be bound," the report
added, "by the legal enactments of
congress, and feels it self superior to
the Judgment of the law making body
of the land."
Declaring that the Coronado decis
ion made union funds subject to dam
ages resulting from unlawful acts of
individuals about whom the union
knew nothing, the report added that
organized labor sought no extraord
inary protection, but contended the
individuals should be punished un
der criminal or civil law.

HIS OPINION ON
Responding briefly to the petition,
Mr. Harding, snid it would be unfair
to him and unjust to the Filipino
people to make a reply without duly
and carefully considering: the plea.
Ultimate consideration of the matter
of automy rented with congress, he
said, adding that, however, need not
deter him from outlining his views
of the executive. This, he said, he
would do if. the mission would call

Apparent Defeat for Radicals

Dublin University Seized By
Irreaulars Bitter Enders
Threaten War Again.
DUBLIN', June 17. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Complete returns
from yesterday's parliamentary elec
tions in South Ireland -uro not ex
pected before next Tuesday night at
the earliest, but indications are that
the republicans will suffer losses.
Tho chief indication was furnished
by the volo at the national university
In Dublin, where tho -voting papers
were seized by raiders, headed by
Ilory O'Conner ot . the irregular re
publican army. A decision as to. the
candidates elocted had been reached
before the raiders arrived.
The announcement showed that Dr.
Ada English, republican, has been
displaced. She1 was prominent in the
Dull Eireann In resistance to the
treaty, while Prof. McGinnlns, who
was returned in her stead, was an
active supporter of the Anglo-Irish
pact.
It was explained today that the ob
ject of the raiders, representing the
dissentient section or the voters was
to discover how the university elec
tors had voted and whether all the
Sinn Keiners among them had ob
served the Collins-Do Valera pact.
This was the only constituency capa
ble of prodding this Information, as
contrary to the rule prevailing else
where, the . university voters sign
thSir names, to the voting papers. '

In reprisal for the shooting of two

LONDON, June 16. The cancella
tion by Eamon De Valera of his visit
to Scotland, says a dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Dublin, Is ascribed to
tho calling of an immediate council of
republicans to decide on their course
of action.
The dispatch adds that republican
anger of the constitution is rapidly
rising. The republicans object to
pretty near everything in the const!
Intlon which is satisfactory to Great
Britain, especially all the clauses so
curing the rights of the crown. Their
anger at the constitution is rapidly
degree less than their anger with Mi
chael Collins for his speech in Cork,
and the prospoat of a pact for the coa
lition after the elections is very poor.
