RAIL HEARING
Erie Railroad and . Employes
Clash Over Authority of
Transportation Act.
(By The Associated Press.)
CHICAGO. Feb. 23. Sharu conten
tion- over the powers of the Unito.1
States Railway Labor board and the
provisions of tho transxiortation act.
marked the hearing of employes of
thu Erie railroad against their em
ployer before the' board today. The
( petition of the employes charged vio
lation of the act and of decisions of
the labor board. Representatives uf
the road denied both. The case re
sulted from an order, effective Feb. I.
reducing common labo wages and de
ducting ono day's pay a week from
the salaries of all employes paid on a
monthly basis.
Most of the argument ' centered
about whether a ruling of the board
on Feb. 12, ordering tho road tu make
no change in wage rates was compul
sory upon the road, which had al
ready put a reduction into effect. It
was conceded by the rail representa
tives that the intent of the order was
to maintain the rates of the wage
award of July, 1920. They denied,
however, violation of ' the law in
changing those rates. Business de
pression and revenues below operat
ing expenses were given as the) reason
for the reduction order.
During his testimony, R. s. Parsons,
general manager for the road, was
asked by Henry T. Hunt, public mem
ber of the board, whether the road's
position meant that it would not obey
the orders of ,the board.
"We can't do it." Mr. Parsons re
plied. "We want to do everything
possible to get along with the board!
but I don't know what we would do if
the board issued impossible orders"

SHERMAN ACT IS CITED
Violation of Anti-Trust Law by
Curtailing Production is
Charged.
(By The Associated Press)
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23. Charging viola-.
tlon of the Sherman anti-trust law, the
government today filed in the federal
district court here injunction proceed
ings against the Southern Pine assoca
tion, 61 corporations and G9 individuals.
Granting of a permanent injunction for
the purposes specified would amount to
dissolution of the association. It was
explained. '' n
The suit alleges the association has
operated to curtail production to enhance
prices and that as a result profits on
sales of yellow pine advanced from $6.41
a thousand feet in 1918 to $30.35 in 1920.
The suit was filed by District Attor
ney Carroll, in compliance with instruc
tions from Attorney General Palmer, and
is based on a report of the federal trade
commission which investigated activi
ties of the association. Judge Faris set
March 15 for a hearing.
The petition asserts that "because of
the rapidly increasing prices for yellow
pine lumber the price fixing committee
of the war industries board established
maximum prices for such lumber, which
were legally in effect on and after June
15, 1918."
"The defendants," the petition contin
ues, "concertedly adopted the position
that these 'maximum prices should be
regarded as in fact minimum prices and
frequently exceeded these prices."
Corporations named as -defendants in

PARIS, Feb. 23. The council of th
leaeuH of nations 1fciHrl tnniirht ti rU-
j out only a summary of the American
uoie regaraing marinates under the
league .the text of which was submitted
to the council this morning.
The summary follows:
The government of the Unitod States
declares it seizes the occasion to send
the council of the league a copy of a
note jdressed to Earl Curzon (British
foreign minister) on November 20. set
ting forth in detail the views of the
United States on the responsibilities of
mandatory powers.
"A copy of that note has been sent to
the French and Italian governments. The
United States government draws the at
tention of the council to the request
made in that not thnt tiiA r,-w.
, mandate intended for the society of na-
tions, before they were submitted to the
council, oe communicated to the United
States government, and that it have
precise indications on the principles on
which the United States conditioned lta
approbation.
"The United States government has
received the text of the mandate at
tributed to the emperor of Japan- over
all former German islands situated in
the Pacific ocean north of the equator
which text was approved by the council
of the league December 17 in Geneva,
"The United States; government de
clares it has never given Its consent
that the Island of Yap be included -in
territories subjected to the mandato of
Japan.
"It recalls that it has already so in
formed the governments of Great Brit

them at the same time that its reserva
tion rested upon tho opinion that Yap
enters necewsarlly into any project or
system of practical communication bv
cable in the Pacific and that no power

"Consequently, the United States gov
ernment is moved to declare respectfully
that it cannot regard itself as bound by
the terms of said mandate and desires
particularly that note be taken of its
protest against the decision of the
league council of December 17 upon
this question.
"At the same time it aska the council,
whose action resulted evidently from
an inexact representation of tha facts,
