PENNSY WINS SUIT IN TEST OF AUTHORITY
Federal Judge Page Refuses to Dismiss the Temporary Injunction Against Rail
Labor Board.
Muriel McCormick Wins Applause After Stage Debut
RAIL BOARD IS SHOCKED
(By Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, April 22. Federal Judge
George T. Page today upheld the
Pennsylvania railroad in its suit to
test the power of the United States railroad labor board by refusing to
dismiss the temporary injunction re-
cently granted by Judge Landis re
straining the board from censuring tho
road for violation of the board's de cree. '
' Judge Page, while refusing to dis
miss the temporary injunction, ordered a conference of attorneys for both sides and the case probably will come up again later. The board ordered the road to hold new elections among its ehopcraft employes some time ago and the road j refused to do this. The board then f prepared to issue a decree censuring the carriers and the Pennsylvania obtained the injunction to test the board's powers. The 6hop craft had charged that the employes' representatives who conferred with the roads over proposed war reductions were selected by the , road itself and not by the employes. Never Claimed Power They declared that the conferences, therefore, were illegal and were upheld by the board.
The labor board has never claimed
power to enforce its decrees, the enforcement being left under the transportation act to the moral responsibility placed on carriers and employes through the decision of an impartial body. The only power it claims is to censure publicly anybody violating its decrees, and it recently did this in connection with a small eastern road. The Pennsylvanian maintained that the board could not even censure it. Today's decision is not, of course, final
in the case, but it came as a distinct shock to board members, they said, as they had expected that Judge Page would dismiss the temporary injunction; and throw the case out of court.

Rural carriers out of the Richmond postoffice serve 1,518 families, and 4,296 patrons over 10 years old, each day, according to Postmaster C. B. Beck, who has Just completed an inspection of Richmond's four routes. Because of the fact. that in many instances more than one family is served through the same mail box, there are but 1,319 boxes for the 1,518 families. It was found that in covering the four routes each day, the 'four carriers travel a little over 200 miles, all of which is in the state of Indiana with the exception of about nine miTes in Ohio. Mr. Beck said Saturday that the worst roads on the routes are to

Some hostile critics were still dissatisfied with lhe reply anJ supported France's protest vigorously. The Russian reply received severer criticism.

It expressed the belief that the Russian reply removes a perilous obstacle to the success of the conference and takes away the objection to the continued presence of the Russians at the conference.

A reduction by one-third of the freight charges on kitchen cabinets shipped to points in the eastern half of the country from Indiana, is asked of the interstate commerce commission, said F. S. Anderson, secretarytreasure of the K-D Cabinetn company Saturday. "I am glad of any action taken to
ward this end. We have been fight-j ing for a reduction for three years, i however, and I am not very hopeful j
of a speedy decision in our favor." Freight rates on local shipments have been almost prohibitive, says Mr. Anderson. Car-lot shipping rates have been more reasonable at 92 Vs cents a hundred to New York and 90', cents to Philadelphia, but local shipping rates have been $2 a hundred," Mr. Anderson said. "We received a slight reduction lately on western shipping rates. Indiana makes 95 percent of all cabinets sold in the country and so has been making a strong fight for reduction of freight rates which have materially hampered the industry. With our present production of 650 cabinets a week, these high rates are an important factor in the cost to the consumer. When it becomes possible to low-
f-er this cost, all cabinet factories will
