Alvanlev Johnston. head of the engineers, said yes terday that the brotherhoods would "consider" any action taken by the government "be cause we have always bowed in respect to the power of the gov. eminent." Under the railwav labor act.' presidential appointment of an emergency board to investigate a dispute is presumed to fore stall any work stoppage from 30 to 60 days, until the panel has had an opportunity to re view the issues and submit rec ommendations. The weekly newspaper "La bor," which is published at Washington 'by a group of 15 railway brotherhoods, including the engineers but not the fire men, said the chances were "100-to-l" there would be no strike. Some 18 brotherhoods have agreed to submit their wage demands to binding arbi tration but the trainmen and engineers dissented and called the strike. . . , Meanwhile, John L.

' Police Injure 6 Persons In Effort To Halt Riots NEW DELHI, March 7 (IP) Six persons were injured in the heart of Old Delhi today by po lice who sought to halt a grow ing wave of disorder and incen diaries accompanying a government-sponsored 1 Victory Week parade. ' The one-story rambling town hall of Old Delhi was left in ruins by incendiarists. Other places burned included a small post office and a railway clear ing accounts office. A canteen was stoned and 100 urchins car rying black flags attacked a tick et office. As a result of the disorders po lice were ordered to fire on any one found destroying public property and Old- Delhi was placed under curfew tonight. Processions . and meetings of more than five persons were banned. There were no incidents, how ever, along the six-mile route of 15,000 troops parading in cele bration of the allied victory in the war. Marching smartly with colors at the head of an infantry division to the strains of "Stars and Stripes Forever"- was a unit of 205 Americans. . . In the reviewing stand were Viceroy Lord Wavell and Adm. Lord Louis Mountbatten. The route of the parade was changed as a result of the disorders so as to prevent easy ambush by stone throwers. No disorder was re ported in New Delhi itself. The order for police to fire on incendiarists and for a . curfew was given by W. F. G. Le Bailly deputy commissioner of Delhi province, after the fire brigade which rushed to the city hall was severely stoned and forced to turn back. It finally made the run under armed escort. The incidents climaxed a boy cott movement instigated by op position elementsj including the Moslem league, against tne-victory Week celebration. ' : The parade, although it ' was not interrupted by the incidents, was viewed in a stony silence by Indian residents.
