PROSECUTION OF NEW HAVEN
WILL BE U. 8. NEXT STEP
Unmeasured Denunciation of New England Lines Manage
ment and Recommendations of Commission Laid Before
senate Committee Many Suggestions in Accord
ance With President Wilson's Trust Legisla
tion Program Department of
Justice to Act.
DISSOLUTION SUIT TO BE FILED
Proceedings to Begin Promptly Unless Railroad Officials Re
verse Attitude and Accept Terms of Peaceful Disorgan
ization Criminal Acts in Violation of Federal
Statutes to Be Considered New York District
Attorney Promises Quick Action.
Washington July 14 With its un
; measured denunciation of the ' mal
administration ' of New Haven finan
cinl affairs and "'criminal negligence"
of directors, the interstate commerce
commission's sensational report on
Its investigation of the New England
railroad line-, was today before the
senate committee working to frame
legislation for control of railroad fi
nancing, interlocking directorates and
other subjects concerned in the !n
. vestlgation. Administration support-
r ers declared that many of the rec
ommendations of the committee
agreed perfectly with portions of
President Wilson's tnnt legislation
program.
The next ptcp in New Haven af
fairs, however, was expected from the
department of justice Apart from
alleged violations of law over which
Attorney McReynolds has said the
federal statutes have no control, the
department was concerned chiefly In
the commission's findings that all
the acts characterized as "corrupt
and unlawful' were for the purpose of
setting up a monopoly in violation of
the federal statutes The depart
ment of justice has taken that view
in its dissolution suit against the
New Haven system which probably
will be filed within the next few days
unless the railroad officials reverse
their attitude and accept the term9
! of peaceful dissolution
The possibility of any criminal rets
being in violation of federal laws was
being considered by the department,
but that phase of the case is apart
from the dissolution proceedings.
Whitman to Act Quick.
District Attorney Whitman reach
ed bis office shortly after 11 o'clock
and issued this statement:
"When these papers (relative to
the New Haven) reach this office
they will be closely scrutinized and
if we have any reason to believe that
any crime of any kind has been com
mitted by any person connected with
the New Haven railroad or its man
agement in this county, an indict
ment will follow, no matter who the
person may be "
Certified copies of testimony and
exhibits of evidence gathered by the
commission s examiners were on their
way by registered mail today to dls
. trlct attorneys in various jurisdic
tions in New" York. Connecticut and
Rhode Island in which New Haven
transactions were carried out.
The testimon and exhibits relate
to euch acts as the committee has
) characterized as unlawful, but on
-which state officers. If any, must act.
New Haven affairs were brought
up in the senate during a "prosper
lty debate' between Senator Gallin
ger, Republican and Senator Thomas,
Democrat The Republican senator
rtad a clipping telling of the dis
charge of shop hands in Wilmington.
Del. and Democratic senator retorted
that his colleague might be more so
llcitous of those who had suffered in
New Haven operations as disclosed
in the interstate commerce commis-
. sion s report.
Senator Thomas quoted from the
late J Pierpont Morgan s will, the
word in which the dead financier
committed "my soul to the hands of
my maker."
"That will Is a fitting companion
riece to the commission's report,
concluded Mr. Thomas.

praise.

London, July 14 The house of!
lords today passed the third reading
of the bill amending the home rule
bill ;.nd sent it across to the house
of commons for consideration.
In its closing stage in the upper
house, the Marquis of Crewe, the Lib
eral leader, took part in the debate
on the bill and indirectly promised
that the attainment of an agreement
111 regard to the elimination of the
I time limit by which the counties of
1 Ulster were allowed to ote on the
question of their exclusion for a pe
riod of six years from the operation
of the home rule bill, would not prove
difficult. Ho said, however that the
area of the portion of Ireland to be
excluded had been so greatly enlarged
by the Unionists that it would be a
vexed and critical question. The
Unionists, he argued, had failed to
explain how they proposed to meet
the inevitable objections to exclu
sion of the Roman Catholic counties
of Ulster and their friends elsewhere
in Ireland
The marquis concluded by asking
for the exorcise of their patience and
forbearance and firmly hoping for a
successful solution
The marquis of Lansdowne, the Un
ionist leader, reiterated that nothing
short of the Unionist amendments
j could avert the immediate peril that
1 was threatening. He said this was
his explanation of the demand for the
total exclusion of the province of
Ulster and he complained that the
government had given the Unionists
no assistance whatever in the task of
averting civil war.
At the suggestion of the marquis of
Crewe, the bill was read a third time
without a vote being taken

they would not. accept arbitration of
their wage difference, under the Erd
man act. but would continue negotia
tions with their employers.
It was also announced that the
firemen and engineers had voted al
most unanimously in favor of a strike
should their requests be refused by
the railroads
It was announced by V. S. Carter
for the employes that che vote of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
was 97 per cent in favor of a strike
and that the vote of the Brotherhood
of Locomotn e Firemen and En
gineers was 95.6 rer cent in favor of
a strike.
Chicago, July 14. An ultimatum in
the wage dispute between 55.000 en
gineers and firemen of the ninety
eight railroads west of Chicago and
their employers was presented today
to the management of the roads. A
gigantic strike which will tie up 148,
000 miles of road is imminent unless
an agreement Is reached, according to
the union officials
The ultimatum, it was announced,
contained the statement that 90 per
cent of the men had voted to strike
unless their demands were acceded
lo. Counting of the strike referen
dum ballots have just been complc-;
ted. The next move is up to the
roads. It may take the form of an
appeal to the federal department of
labor for arbitration.
Virtually all lines west of Chicago,
the Illinois Central and lines in Can
ada wen of Fort William, except the
Canadian Trunk Pacific are affected.
Warren S. Stone, grand chief engi
neer of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers and W. S. Carter, pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Firemen and Englnemen met the
geneial manager's committee of the
railroads today. A W. Trenholm,
general manager of the Chicago, St
Paul. Minneapolis and Omaha rail
waj, chairman of the manager's com
mittee and other members of the
committee were present.
Federal Arbitration Declined.
The announcement that federal ar
bitration would be declined, came af
ter a meeting attended by the con
ference committee of the general
managers of the railroads and repre
sentatives of the employes.
The railroad managers were In
formed by W S. Stone, head of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers, and W. S Carter, president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotiw
Firemen and Enginemen, of the re
sult of the strike vote.
Different phases of the differences
between the men and the railroads
were discussed before the conference
adjourned A Joint committee of the
two organizations of employes will
discuss the sliuatlon thla afternoon
and It is expected that there will be
a further conference with the general
managers' committee tomorrow.
Railroads Fall to Keep Word.
Refusal to accept federal arbltra
tlon was based by the Brotherhood
on the contention that the railroads
would not be bound by the result of
such arbitration On this point 3n
official statement given out by Car
ter reads.
"On the supposition that the fed
eral board of arbitration and concilia
tion will propose arbitration as direct
ed by the present federal law, the en
ginemen will necessarily reject any
proposition to arbitrate, because in all
recent arbitrations, railroads have re
pudiated arbitration awards and have
not been bound thereby.'
Principal Requests Made.
Some of the principal requests made
bv the employes of the roads were:
Increases In the rates of pay of en
gineers and firemen in all classes of
service. ,
That the number of hours alter
nlnch overtime will be paid in freight
service be reduced from 10 to S
hours and in passenger service from
10 to 5 hours.
That overtime be raised to a basis
of time and a half in freight service
and double time in passenger serv
ice. . . ,
That engineers and firemen be paid
an arbltrarv 30 minutes preparatory
lime for each trip Instead of comput
ing service continuously from actual
time of reporting for duty
That allowance be made for term
iual davs iu addition to payment for
the miles or the hours of the trip.
That the differentials paid for run
Ding Mallet engines be increased.
That the differentials between local
and through freight service be In
creased. That two firemen be einploved on
large coal burning engines regardless
of the character or length of the run,
the tonnage hauled or the work re
quired of the firemen
According to the conference com
mittee of managers representing the
railroads, compliance with the re-
quests of the employes would in- IH
crease the payrolls of the roads more
than $33,000,000, 0r approximately 50 fl
per cent. iH
The request of the employes covers
a general revision of the rules gov-
ernlng compensation, 91
The negotiations continued nearly
three months prior to June 1 when 'H
the conferences were suspended pend- IB
ing the taking of the vote of the em- 'IKk
ployes on the strike. Vfl
A. W. Trenholm, general manager 11
of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis H&
& Omaha railway, chairman of the
conference committee of the railway HN
managers, said that the next move
in the negotiations was up to the em
ployes He said the managers' com-
mittee would await a formal state- MB
merit of the present requests of the flBI
employes and official notification of IHffi
the strike vote. Snap
He declined to discuss the announc- Bp
i ed refusal of the employes to accep
possible federal arbitration and said WW
that no definite time had been set fR Inf
