Wharton, Labor 31 ember, uissents
From Decision as Being
Inadequate.
Chicago, Oct. 29 (Associated Press).
?Attacking the theory of "The Living
Wage" as a basis for determining
wages of railroad workers, the public
and railroad groups of the railway
labor board in an opinion made public
to-night declared such a course "If
carried to Its legitimate conclusion
would wreck every railroad In the
United States, and If extended to other
Industries would carry them into Communistic
ruin."
The opinion, in the form of a rejoinder
to a dissenting opinion filed
by A. C. Wharton, labor member, In
the recent decision increasing the pay
of maintenance of way rmployees two i
cents an hour, declared if to the employe'
w t o grant 1 a 72 to 75 cents j
minimtn w igc for common labor,
with csponding differentials for i
other c- ^ea. an increase or i2o.< p?.r
",ent. In the nation's ruilroad wage bill
would bo necessary.
This, the opinion said, would add
S3,122,952,387 to the annual payroll,
bringing It to $5,589,445,993, which
would Run, it added, an unnual deficit
to the carriers of $2,241,639,518.
Effect of 48 Cent Mlnlmim.
m^Sven if the 48 cent minimum wage
requested by maintenance of way
men were granted and corresponding
differentials were made for other clusses
?>f employees, the ?pirrttm atrtffj?an increase
of 00.45 per cent, in wages would j
be necessary, adding $1,249,290,994 to j
the annual wage bill of the roads, bringing
it up to $3,725,884,540, thus forcing
the carriers to face an annual deficit of I
$378,078,125. j
The phrase "living wage"' was termed
1 the opinion as "a bit of mellifluous 1
/j -nseOlogy. well calculate to deceive |
M . unthinking."
ai "If the contentions were that the
<oard should establish a 'living wage'
the majority would readily accede to j
the proposition." the opinion said, "and I
as a matter of fact the board in this j
instance, as in all others, lias granted '
a living wage. But the abstract, elusive
ihlng called 'the living wage,' con- j
t'esaediy based upon a makeshift and a
guess, cannot receive the sanction of tills
board, because it would be utterly impractical
and would not bo 'Just and
reasonable' as the law demands."
Mr. Wharton's dissenting opinion and
no Siippornng opinion in rcpiy are ?tached
to the formal decision Increasing
Iho pay of maintenance of way employees
two cents an hour, establishing
a minimum ranging from 25 to 37 cents.
The United Brotherhood of Maintenance
of Way Ernployeef,' railway shop laborers,
held a strike order affecting
100,000 men In abeyance last July after
the board had reduced wugos pending
a request for an increase based on the
contention that the costa of living had
advanced and wages in other Industries
md been raised.
Refused to Accept Principle.
When the esse came up maintenance
A way officials asked the hoard to sub crlbe
to the principle of the "living
wage" bused on a budget of what wa?
required for an average family of five
persons to live In henlth and reasonable
omfort. A majority of the board refused
~to subscribe to tills principle, asserting
that the transportation act called
for establishing a "Just and reasonable"
wngo and that a Just and reasonable
wage was In effect a living wage.
The maintenance of way organisation
asked the board to establish minimum
miss 01 pny 01 10 raim uu n?m iu icplacs
rntos than In effect ranging from
23 to 35 cent*. After a deadlock of
several days the board made public ita
decision formally banded down to-dny
Incrcpslng rates of pay two cents arr
hour and adding about $20,000,000 to
the railroad payroll.
The decision asserted that the In*
crease was due mostly to the fact that
Mgher rates of wages were being paid
for the same classes of work In other
Industries and that thore had been no
appreciable Increase In tho cost of living.
Mr. Wharton In his dissenting opinion
maintained that tho "fundamental eror"
of the dcclalon rested on failure to
inquire Into "the adequacy of rates of
nay established for section men and
insklllcd laborers." lie asserted that
rates of pay In other industries of similar
character should, he made a secondcry
consideration and that, the prime
factor to be considered was whether ]
the rates llxed were Just and reasonable,
which he said meant an ndequate
end living wage under the transportation
act.
He maintained that the law of supply
and demand, which operated In private
Industries to fix the price of labor,
should not lye taken as a basis by the
labor board. The board be contended
should find what should he a Just and
reasonable wage by computing a family
budget containing the expenses of the
ovornge family.
Mr. Wharton declared that the living
v age principle was practical, asserting
that lidded labor costs would bo ab- j

MILLER IS CONFIDENT
OF DEFEATING SMITH
'There Is No Doubt of Result,'
Says Governor; 'People
Are Thinking.'
ANALYSIS OF SITUATION
His Close Friends Believe Executive
Will Have a Plurality
of 50,000.
H > E. C. HILL.
Special Dispatch to Thr New Yon k Herald.
New York Herald Bureau. >
Albany. Oct. (
"There is no doubt of the result,"
said Gov. Miller at the Executive
Mansion to-night. "The people are
thinking. They will not be caught
by false issues or false promises, by
promises that can't be kept or that
are not Intended to be kept A few
of the unthinking may be misled, but
the thinking resent such insults to
their intelligence. The thinking are
going to control.
"Saturday night finished the upState
part of my speaking campaign.
1 am more than pleased by the increasing
evidence of aroused interest
in the contlnuanco of good government.
We have opposed a record of
performance against excuses for nonperformance,
promises of further performances
against a confession of inability
to perform unless the constitution
is changed, as cannot be done
within the next term of the Governor
to h? nnd aDDcals to reason
againet appeals to prejudice and ignorance.
The result Is not In doubt.''
Reflects His Actnol Opinion.
There certainly la no doubt tho Governor's
actual opinion is reflected in '.lie
foregoing brief expression of confidence.
It is the reaction he actually finds in
his political test tube after three weeks
of quantitative and qualitative analysis.
No other candidate In tho experience of
this writer possesses quite tho faculty
which Miller has 'or 'ookMg at things
ni: they are?or as he believes that they
are. No other cundidate has been so
little influenced by the rosy reports Invariably
volunteered by local leader.craving
their chief's commendation.
Such bluff counts for not a featherweight
with this man.
Miller knows lie ts in a fight, shrewdlv
reckons that it may bo close and, after
weighing all the factors of the contest,
calmly figures up a total of victory. It
may sometimes bh forgotten that the
Governor Is a politician as well as a
statesman, a practical politician, who
had trained in a hard school beforo he
tvrned his back upon such things.
In the arithmetic of partisan contests
Miller boloney to the school of the j
old masters ? Georg! \V. Aldridgc, |
Francis Hendricks, John Haines and
others that have passed on. He him-1
self may appraise a situation incorrectly,
but he is too alert, too experienced,
too wise In the gamo to be fooled
by his underlings.
He believes he will win because he
believes that he knows wore Snout what;
the people are thinking than most of
his subordinates In fh^ party oiganimatlon
know. Most of th?-m have the
habit of superficial estimate, Miller's1
mind delves deeper.
Put It this way: In almost everv
county of the State In a 2,000 inile
speaking tour, local "ndcs havo persistently
assured the Oovcrnor thut his
pluralities will equal If not exceed the
trcftiendous Republican pluralities of
two years ago. Tlio Governor ^nowh
that this is rank nonsense and ho
knows, too, that not a few of these
leaders go straight from Jollying him
to private predictions of an Increased
vote for amlth, and heaven knows what
disaster.
Amused Contempt Is Effect.
The reaction produced upon a shrewd
and experienced mind by this sort of
hltior la cnntcnint diluted by amuse
meut. He Is mtich more Impressed l.y
Indications of sla/*k and oullen organisation
work than no Is by the fairy tales
of the workers. ills estimate of the
actual situation Is derived from hla
own observations and the common sense
workings of one of the keenest minus
that ever got Into polities.
Ho Is coolly certain of success, and

relve hours. , 0
Xeitlier the police" of Yonkers nor , j:
e Coroner was able last night to | e
ree upon a satisfactory explanation 1
what caused the death of Cohen I v
d his wife. The Coroner, Frederick j
towden, said that it looked liko a ! j
uble murder, but the police thought ..
at the couple had killed themselveb. t]
rcumstancos tended to support both a
eorles. tl
blent. Dennis Cooper of the Yonkers ^
tectlvo bureau started work on the ^
Be at midnight with four of, his de- j ^
it Ives. Coroner Snowden said there!
i K
>re no marks on the bodies, but t ic t i
th victims had been bleeding at the j
sc and had bled considerably. The
;man, he said, evidently had lost much j fi
^od before she got Into, or was placed ' p
the tub. The bleeding appeared to I a
similar to that which comes from a n
morrhage. Gas was burning In the f<
jve in the kitchen, but none of it was a
' aping. (
The bodies were found at S o'clock
Ht night. Mrs. D. It. Cohen, mother P
the husband, went to the apartment h
iuse early yesterday and rang the b
11 of her son's apartment, which is
the ground floor. There was no '
iswer. She went back early In the 8
ternoon and there was still no answer.
ie made another attempt at 8 o'clock (]
st night, when she went to the rear
the apartment and saw that the milk v
.d not been taken In from the stoop. ?
The Coroner's Theory.
b
She called a neighbor, who broke in .
window at the rear of the apartment,
rs. Cohen crawled through the window a
id called the names of her son and ei
ughter-ln-law, She went Into the
drooin and found that their clothing
is there, evidently as they had left "
ltcfore going to bed the night before, n
ie bed had not been made. Then she a
snt Into the bathroom and found the
dies.
Mrs. Cohen called the police, and ' '
ipt. Edward Quirk with several de tltes
and Coroner Hnowden arrived
d began an Investigation. There
;ro no evidences of a struggle, except E
it young Cohen's glasses lay two or t]
ree feet from him on the floor. The ! o
lice admit they might have been j h
.ocKea mere. nut mo lowe.is ana n
icr articles In the bathroom were In o
sternatlc arruy. Just ns though there
r] been no violence of any sort.
"It Is a very odd case." sairl the
roner. "There are no traces of gas ^
poison. It looks very much like y
irder. Ilut wc will not know just q
w they came to their deaths until ,)
n autopsy. It is possible?Indeed, It a
very likely. Judging from her posture 1 ?
that the woman was held under the !
iter until she was drowned."
Mrs. Cohen, mother of young Cohen, I ti
d the police that her r.on and daugh- j)
-In-law were happily married. He
ia employd as a draftsman by the a
ihlrahaw Electric Cable Company of
inkers. They lived comfortnbly, she I ft
Id, and had no reason to kill them- j w
ves. Likewise, she said, they had no
smies that she knew of who might j n
,nt to d" away with them. The wife -y
is 24 years old, two years older than 1 w
r husband. ! h;
The Police Idea. r!
d
The theory of the police Is that the! tl
?o Is a double suicide. They bellevo j
Iv; that hi* wife nulled hi* body out
d laid It on the floor In the position t,
was found and that she then drowned C(
rself. This theory, however, is dialed
by the statement of the Coroner j,
it there are evidences of the woman ! j
vlng been forcibly held under the | j
ter. Jt also Is disputed by the fact a
it no notes were left, nor was there
y indication that the couple had any a
ison or any Intention to kill themves.
,r
fhe police point out, however, that Rl
ilr Investigation showed the apart- w
nt to he securely locked from the Ine.
The keys wero still in the front 0(

rhe autopsy, which will be heUl till*

f Middlesex county and differs with
Tosecutor Azariuh Iieekman of Som- J
rsct county, who, finally, asked that
he Attorney-General's office lnterenc
and take over the case.
One thing Mr. Mott will probably j
0 to-morrow is to call tho girl or
r'oman who Is known to have been In
lie neighborhood of De Bussy's lane
nd not far from the farmhouse on
he nlglit of the murder and who is
elleved to liavo seen come of the
hlngs Mrs. Gibson is credited with
avlng describe^. The identity of this
irl is being carefully concealed.
Backs Mrs. Gibson's T?l*r
While Mrs. Gibson stands alone so :
*r as tho public knows, Mott is in
ossesslon of evidence to support her
ssertions. The evidence is frag- j
lentary and much of It Is unsatis- i
ictory. Thus It is that while the
uthorities know the woman Mrs. j
rlbson has in mind as one of the
urties to the crime, they do not know 1
nd cannot find the man with the <
ushy hair and heavy mustache who <
1 supposed to have done tho actual
hooting. 11
Two nwn, brothers, and related to i i
he woman In the case ill the Gibson
ersion, were thought to l>e implicated
hen the Gibson s'ory was iirst told. Ii
low it may be said with authority that
otli men are out of the case for the
ime being at leant. Or.o has a perfect
lib!, the other is thought to be Inap&ble
of the critne.
In other words, the Gibson tale a: (:
.s best ts a half told talc, for It does ' i
ot namo the actual murderer of Hall ! 1
ml Mrs. Mills. Mrs. Gibson belle v." '
he can identify th" woman who was ,'
1th the murderer, but she cannot i
lentify the murderer. I ,
It was in reference to this story told j,
y the Gibson woman that Htricker and :
leeamaii split, Strieker contending that j.
je tale warranted taking the case at :,
nee to the Grand Jury and Beekman 1
oldlng tliat the woman is so unreliable j
ie Grand Jury would throw tho case |
ut. This was a week ago.
Mott Sides Ullh Ktrlrker.
Now Mott. having examined the
opian hlmseir, seems to agree with '
trleker, but It will ! " in Bwltmaii'.1, 1
wn county, where ho Is very popular, j
lat the case will have to be presented .
nd the grand Jurors will be Peekmu 1

In a telephone interview to-day, being
arricuded stil' In her iiome, with a State <
:ooper In the roadway to shoot away
ie pestiferous reporters and the morbid I
urloslty seekers, Mrs. Gibson added still !
littlo more to licr yarn.
"I am willing to confront Mrs. Hall
ice to face," Mr; Gibson sold. "I am !
IllitiK to challenge her face to face to j i
eny my charge that she witnessed the ,
turders of Ur. K?lwurd Hall and Eleanor i

Mrs. Gibson said she was rather averse

onsented to talk.
"Tbls Is the Sabbath, and I am not

Benito Mussolini and his Fascist!
lack shirts now are masters of Rome
nd almost of Italy. The King this
ternoon, acknowledging the Fascist!
ader's mastery of the political situtiou,
asked him to form a new Cablet,
Antonio Salandra, one time Pre- ,
lier, having declined to undertake \
le task. Mussolini is expected to ar- I
ive here to-morrow, as he left Milan I ^
)-day and is said to have consulted |
'Annunzio en route. .
It is expected that Mussolini's Cabl et
will be made up of Fascist! only,
lough there are only forty Fascist!

lovemont which has subverted a

rmy have gone over to him. This
as apparent to-day when army offers
showed the greatest friendlless
for the black shirts.
The King succumbed this afternoon,

support for a Cabinet formed

tarching on Rome, he asked the blaclc
hirt leader to take over the Governlent.
Mussolini in a statemeut published
y the 1'opolo d'ltalia demanding a
urely Faseisti Government, said".
It must be understood in Rome that;
p to this moment a solution of the
risis ran be obtained within the borers
of the constitution, but to-morow
may be too late. The Fascistl

He refused to sanction any Cabinet
