LABOR IS GREATLY SURPRISED Railroad Employes Win Sudden And Dramatic Victory.

HNTERNATIONAL NEWS SERV1IE1 CHICAGO. Fab. 10. Railway employes throughout the United States won a sudden and dramatic victory over the railroads hers today when th United States Railway wage board Catrefused to gi-ant the plea of the railroads for abrogation of the national agreement and permission to rduce wages or railway workers. The decision of the board was a completi denial of all that the railway executives have contended for. The decision came as a climax to weeks of hearings and was a complets surprise to Frank Walsh, general -.ounsel for the Railway Brotherhoods and 33. M. Jewell, head of the railway iepartment of the American Federation of Labor, Jewell was just preparing to present to the board a statement in support of his oontentlon that the railroads should not be permitted to reduce wages of their employes. The board, holding that it could nor assume Jurisdiction In the plea presented on behalf of the railroads by W. W. Atterbury. vice president of the Pennsylvania system. announced ihrough Judge II. M. Barton, It 'a chairman, the following conclusion: "It is the Judgment of the boara therefore that the request of the railways executives for Immediate termination of the existing rules xnust be and is accordingly denied. "The board must also deny the request of the association of railway executives as presented by the chairman of the labor committe that that much of decision 2 as fixes wages for unskilled labor be set aside and provalling rates of wages in the various rerritorieo served by any carrier substituted." The decision of the board means that railways must continue to deal with employes according to rules dratted during the life of the United States ' Kailroad Administration and known as the "National Agreement." Wages and scales fixed by this agreement remain In effect despite the plea of the reads that to continue the present basis o' wages meant bankruptcy for the rati ' isansportation systems of the country. Jewell announced that the declnloo rame as such a complete surprise that he was unprepared to state the course of action of-the employes with regard to their future course before the beard and he asked time to consult with 'afsh. His request was granted and the presentation of his statement postponed. AT WIFE BUT IS Federal prohibition agents slipped ip on the home of Louis Sabo adjoining Coy's Park Just beyond the. south city limits of Hammond at noon today and relieved Louis of tv, o stills. Sabo also had 60 gallons of mash and three gallons of moonshine. Louis put up the old stall. He raved at his wife for having the stills at the house after he had warned her againat violating the law. However, t.h alibi !s such an ancient one that rouie will probably discard it before his case comes up In the Hammond city court. Judge Klotz has made a point to deal rather harshly with moonshiners who attempt to pass the buck to their helpmates. 3 MAIL PLANE AVIATORS DIE LACrvOSSH, Wis., Feb. 10.

A public harbor "at or near Wolf Lake tJid Lake Michigan, lying partly In the cities of Hammond and Whiting. Ind.. and partly In th vicinity of Chicago," is contemplated by the plan. This location is at the end of the deep water navigation of the Great Lakes and also at one of the terminals of the proposed Great Lakes Gulf Waterway via the Calumet-Sag Canal, the Illinois and Mississippi Riers and other waterways. With the opuilng of the St- Lawrence waterway, the froposod harbor will b available to vossels from all parts of the world.

The legislatures of Illinois and Indiana are to be asked to appropriate money for the building of th inner harbor.

The resolution carries an appropriation of $50,000 to pay the expenses of the commission In Indiana. TO HELP. THE IE FOLK Officer Tom Flannigan of the Hammond force, who haa the Hohman street bank beat and who also has a heart big enough for two men, saw a little tike shivering on the street corner yesterday. He noticed the absence of mittens and warm clothes and questioned the little fellow. The chap was pretty badly frightened at being addressed by a policeman and furnished no information. Then a sister a couple of years older came and from her Tom learned that things at home were In a bad way. The family Uvea on Bulletin street. The father on account of flckness was forced to give up his work Thanksgiving day and when he recovered he could find no work. The home Is almost destitute of furniture and bed clothing. Officer Flannigan visited the house and then hunted up a friend and the two of them bought enough food and fuel to run a while. When that is gone, and it will be a matter of only a day or so, the people will face starvation and cold again. The Salvation army has helped the family some and efforts have been made at finding work for the father. He is now able and willing to work, but seems out of luck. Flannigan hopes that someone will volunteer further aid and that .someone else will be able to furnish work for the man. Anyone desiring to render assistance In any respect may get In touch with the Salvation army or see Mr. Flannigan. FORD PLANS TO E NEW YORK, Feb. 10.

N. SLRVICr. INDIANA POLLS, Feb. 1". In spite of sensational allegations made in the Indiana state senate against various officials, institutions and business organizations, tlie uap-r house of the legislature doesn't intend tu be bothered by sundry proposed Investigations. Instead, it. was made clear by lnciii bers of the upper house today, the setiators are determined that tlielr program of law-making shall bo carried out without int-.rruptions Hue as inevitably would be entailed by adoption of a number of resolutions railing fothe appointment of committees to investigate a wide range of charges. It also has bet-n pointed out by lUn maojrity floor lexdcr that little enous;i time is provided ifor the regular session of the legislature and that during the sixty-one days fixed by law, there is only sufficient time available for th consideration of natters of major importance. Resolutions urging searching lnve--tigatlcns Into the so-called bulldir.g trust in Indiana and Into the financial affairs of the three state higher educational institutions already have ben thrust aside, and members of the senate are beginning to agree with Floor Leader Katts in nfs oft-repeated declaration that the Business of the general assembly consists of enacting and revisiting the larss of the state and not in attempting to lt as a judicial bo ly to seek out violators of existing statutes. With the exception of the Investigation-, now In progress, into the actions of the state board of education in letting contracts for school books at prices reported far In advance of present costs, the senate has turned down every request tending to turn its attention from the business of lawmaking. The first proposal for a sensational investigation came early in the session from Senator Maurice Douglass, democrat, of Bartholomew and Shelby counties, jvho urcrvd an Inquiry into every state department and iii.stitution wlt'i a view to bringing to light any dupli cation of functlors.
