the banker group, resigned, would in
terfere with the plans or tho general
wojsram of the company. Mr. Mitten

"The car riders of Philadelphia may
rest assured that the management will
continue to function to tho very best' of
Its ability,
"The record of achievement by the
Itten management in overcoming
seemingly insurmountable obstacles
stands as an unmistakable index to the

laws in the Stato Department, to show
cause next Monday why they should not
be compelled to promulgate as law the

The order of tho court is ebased on a

pacity as a taxpayer. He contended
that the President had no authority to
veto li joint resolution ot Congress and

noon to forco Mayor Mooro's hand on
tho Delaware river bridge project.
Tho Mayor sent a resolution to
Council authorizing him to Use $100,000
of the city's money for estimates and
plans of tho proposed river span. The
resolution was referred to the financo
committee for speedy nction.
Tho attempt to commit the city to

Mr. Gaffney moved a resolution forcing
action on the bridge enabling ordinanco
now with tho committco on public
works.
GafTncy Is Defeated
Gaffncy, in his address, intimated
, that "certain Interests" wero back
of a move to block action on tho bridge.
He claimed that, even if the S100.000
expenditure were authorized, it would
not be legal in the absence of an en
abling ordinance.
Gaffnoy's resolution wasdefcatcd by
a voto of eleven to ten. '"Councilman
Itoper, Independent, switched to the
Vare forces on the vote, while Council
man Buchhob!, rated as a Varo mem

In opening the debato, Mr, Gaffney

"Let us not try to 'kid' ourselves
or tho people outside. That is what is
proposed. Neither tho Mayor nor any
one else will be justified in spending one
ciit until you have passed the enabling
ordinance. Tho passago of the enabling
cidinance of itself will not impair the
city's borrowing capacity. That will only

"I never think that Philadelphia will

TJnltco States roll labor board today
awarded $000,000,000 wage Increases,
approximately 21 per cent, retroactive
to May 1.
Amount granted Is approximately 60
per cent of wage rise demanded.
Whcth'cr, tho decision will remove the
strike threat is uncertain.
Railroad officials seek higher passenger
and freight rates to meet the increase
in pay.
Union leaders are meeting nt Chicago
to consider tue hoards decision.
By the Associated Press
Chicago, July 20. Six hundred mil
lion dollars was added to the pay cn
vclopo .of the nation's 2,000,000 rail
road workers today in the first nward
handed down by tho United States
railway labor board.
Rejecting the demands of the organ
ized rail' unions for increases totaling
approximately $1,000,000,000, the
board decided approximately 60 per ot
that sum would tbc a just increase to
meet present living conditions.
The award adds approximately 21
per cent to the present-pay schedules.
Railroad officials declaro that the in
creased wage award must bo followed by
a corresponding increase in freight and
passenger-rates. The railroad executives
met In WnRlilnftnn'trtHiitf tn nMnnr nr
fills ii hi'ifilidl with i.Jwm4
Commerce Commission.
Plan Higher Freight Rates
An 18 per cent increase in freight
rates will be necessary to meet the
wage award, E. T. Whiter, representa
tive of the roads in the hearings before
the railwny labor board, announced.
The railroads, Mr. Whiter announced
nfter n conference with the western
Managers' Association, will nccept the
board s award and apply its terms im
mediately. "Thn" award speaks for
itself." Mr. Whiter said. "It means,
of course, that tho roads must ask for
increased rates. To meet the board's
estimated $000,000,000 increase will
require an increnso of about 18 per cent
in freight rates."
Presidents and general officers of the
hvc big brotherhoods went into executive
.es.sion immediately after the decisiou
was handed down. W. G. Lee, Cleve
land, president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, said nil the eighteen
organizations made a party to the award
would hold scparato sessions this after
noon, followed by a general conference
tonight.
The union men ns a whole do not
seem satisfied with tho increase author
ized, but there was no talk prior to the
executive session of a general strike.
The belief grew that the leaders would
submit the question to n referendum
vote of their men.
Strike Still Possible
Whether the award as given will pre
vent a strike cvcntunlly being called re
mains to be seen. The leaders of vir
tually every one of the big unions were
present this morning when Judge R. M.
Barton, chairman of tho board, handed
down the decision.
They left immediately to present the
award to 1000 general chairman, who
had gathered here to pass on its ac
ceptability. They belicvo their men will
stay in line, at least until n referendum
vote can be taken. Nearly n month
will be needed for the referendum.
The board's decision is retroactive to
May 1. The maximum increase granted
any class was eighteen cents nn hour,
or $H0.72 per month. The biggest pay
check due when the back pay settlement
is made Augiibt 1 will be for $110.10.
Engineers, firemen and helpers in the
yard service will receive this amount.
Tho board provides that tho back pay
checks shall be made out separately so
that each man will know the nmouut he
receives from that source.
Ignore Unrecognized Unions
Demands of the railroad men who
struck last April and formed new
unions are ignored by tho labor board.
No reference is made to the strikers
or their demands. The board had re
fused to hear representatives of the

ing mark in today's race for the Amer
ica's Cup. Her turning time was ,'
4:20:20. Resoluto was more than a.
mile astern. Resolute rounded the sec- ' '
ond mark at -1 :35 :30. Resolute sailed r ' x
the last mile'to the second mark in fast
time, gaining on Shamrock and giving
promise of a close race.
Shamrock breezed away on n ten-mite
run which constitutes the last leg of tho
thirty-mile triangular course. Resolute,
seeking to overtake her. took in her birr
reaching jibs and set up a smaller one
uhon within about three-quarters of a
mile of the mark. v
For both yachts it became a race
against the timo limit, which expires at
0:15 p. m.
Shamrock turned the lirst mark at
2:28:28, followed by Resolute at
2:32:41. Resolute was 600 yards
astern. Shamrock's elansed time to tho
first mark was 2:12:40 and Rcsoiute'a
2:16:15.
Shnmrock's lead nt the first mark
was three minutes, thirty-five seconds,
without taking into consideration the
time allowance of seven minutes and
one second which she must give Rcso- '
luto on the entire course.

Three-quarters of nn hour after the
start thp yachts started beating, when
the wind hauled her south Resolute,
which had been holding a lead of half
a mile, hit a soft spot, and Shamrock
later forged half n mile ahead.
This was cut down half, however,
when the yachts tacked, and the wind
favored the defender. The fenture ot
the first leg was the manner in which
Shamrock scooted ahead of the defender.
chiefly becauso of her baby forestavsaii,
which served better than itcsolute s bis

This triangular sail was set on a
mainstay leading from tho end of the
bowsprit to a block about two-third the
distance to the crosstree. It wni full
all the timo and proved a wonderful

ber one jib topsail out ahead.
Over Line In Soft Breeze
The preliminary signal was sounded
at noon for a start at 12 :15 over a
triangular course leading out to sea,
then toward the New Jersey shore and
then back to the Ambrose channel
lightship. The breeze had dropped to
three knots, giving the jachts just
steerage way.
Starting on the first leg of the tri
angular course, a reach southeast, both
sloops maneuvered for their place at
the line. Five minutes before the start
they ran up their jib topsails.
Resolute came down and tacked un
derneath Shamrock. Then Shamrock
broke back and headed to the light
ship followed by Resolute. The wind
was very soft and the yachts moved
slowly. Shamrock led across the line
at 12:15:48, followed by Resolute nt
12:10:20, but although Resolute al
lowed tho challenger to start first, the
Upton craft had trouble with its bal

was partly hauled down, the British
sailors working feverishly to clear the
fouled sail.
The Resolute sailed past Shamrock
to leeward nt 12:22. Ilaving cleared
the fouled jib topsail, the crew of the
