Burton Is Betained Standing pat upon William P. Burton as skipper of Shamrock IV, the chal lengers for the America's Cup whist eel in tain for wholeale breezes to drive the yachts over the course in today s race. u tf n im Resolute crowd was concerned, they, too. were pulling, for winds of some velocity, since uh-ib .1 little object In distancing a rlvnl in winds that arc too light to enable the leading sloop to finish the raco within the six hours' time limit. Slart Was Not Evltlng With fhects Marti-d and laige reach ing jlbtopsails, the sloops were sent over tho line at 12:15 this afternoon. The winds again were light, but steady. The first leg being n reach, there was an absenco of that snarp jockeying which characterizes the start) of wind jammers 011 a thresh to windward. The two sloops were very near together, and from thore it was impossible to tell which sloop was pi the lend, but the ditlance separating tliom was. abso lutely immaterial. In the hnze Resolute appeared to hae taken honors, but ou thlt point of failing there was no particular nd vantage in this.. The racers crossed with booms to port, taking the wind over their star board quarters. This they hoped to carrv to the Shrewbury Bocks east of finlilce. when they would tighten their sheets a little and get n close "tench out to sea. The last leg., if the wind held true, would be to windwnrd. The achts glided into the smoky seat, not with that driving abandon which lusty winds would have cITepted, but tall and stately. There is little that is exriting about n start of the sort, no matter how keen the spirit of competi tion aboard the rival racers may be. Old ocean In a compnratrvoly placid mood makes for poetry or dreams or mental and physical relaxation, but at fuoh times it makes for nothing thrill ing in the wny of a yacht race. Clouds Promised Wind The western skies.' which all moraine had been a flawless blue, were beginning to Don up oanKs 01 sneepsmn clouds, which usually herald the advent nt wind. One may never be sure o'f July weather oft this coast. But the signs indicated nn nfternoon of winds of velocity suf ficient to blow the racers, over the course within the time limit. The tlslbility was low because of the seaward haze, in tho pall the racing yachts and tho ntteudlug fleet filled out a midsummer marine impression that would have delighted a painter or con noisseur of impressionistic tendencies. , When tho jnclits arrived nt the line the wind was holding north -northwest, at about six miles an hour. This would have been good enough to induce the re gatta committee to send the jnchts nway on n chance that the breezes would in crease as time wore on. But the trouble was that with wind holding from the uorth-northwcbt, there was a likelihood that it would shift southerly. 'In this event a course laid rut upon the basis of north-northwest would be knocked askew by a south ward drift and might have tho effect of Spoiling any vestigo of a windward leg. Eventually the rcgntta committee, lioldlng headquarters aboard the tug Barryton, which lay off tho Ambrose channel lightship, decided that it would not be unwlso to take a chance in the fcinds holding as they were throughout tneafternoon. No preparatory signal was blown at noon and nt 12:10 the blue peter ball tvas hoisted, giving the yachts five min utes in which to prepare to cross tho line. In the preceding ten minutes the two racers had been luffing each other nil oer the seas and now began to make up fiom tho northward Ward tho When the signal to get nway was Bounded, both sloops were well up to the fcetiy tl,Clr nl,nronch ntr- whV w,'cnt over so tloso together llihi 11? sh?rc' t,lctr two mainmasts looked like tho mnsts of a single tchooner as the yachts crossed. . btandug up btiff as churches, one Khn,? . ,0 Rrnsn how much taller hamnV,.k " to Resolute.

Had Light Fingers . Sir Thomas Dewar, It will be recalled, went to Parliament from Whltcchapel, n district none too nice in morals or in principles, When nt length he resigned his sent his constituency sent four men to present to him n high flown me morial of appreciation. And while ho was reading it 0110 of the committee men lifted his watch. It Is not on record that Sir Tom Dcwnr offered to return the memorial in exchange for tho watch : but )iis mood was probably something of tho sort. Shift in Wind-Puts Shamvock in Lead Continued from Taie One been bungled. The spinnaker was taken In nt 12:2." and n smaller reach ing Jib set. This also failed to fill quickly and ten minutes after the start Itesolute was leading by fifty ynrds. At 12 :.10 her letad wns 200 yards. She was slipping along smoothly nnd fast under mainsail, club topsail Tiud big bnllooncr. Shamrock wns steadily dropping be hind bccniido her hendsall refused to fill, nnd' it loohl ns If her skipper was in.-troublo again. 'At 12:1 Shnmrock lowered her fore stay sails nnd jib mid set nn English bowsprit splnnnkcr or ballon forestny sail. She still clung to her number one reaching jib topsail. By this time Besolutc was 300 ynrds ahead. Yachts Shift Lead At 12:50 Besolutc was balling nlong enslly, with her ballooner going splen didly, but Shnmrock wns flapping the wind out of her tall-rcnchlng topsail and n little forestny sail that looked like n fishcrman'H staysail, ns It was noisteu only hnlf-u,ny to the crosstrce Yachting experts were unable fo under stand why Captain Burton did not set his balloon. At 12:.")5 the breeze began hauling to the south. Besolutc broke out her jib nnd prepnre'd to bent to the first mark Shamrock was half a mile astern, but .somewhat to weather. At 1:25. with her little fisherman's stavsnil set ahead of. her mast soing easily, Shamrock ran n quarter of n mile ahead of llesolute. She picked up a puff of air and snlled around Besolutc to windward, luck being with the Lip ton boat to the third nnrt. Besolutc Still clung to her balloon, which seemed to draw well, but could not apparently compete with Shamrock's baby forc- Ntnysail. Two airplanes raced up and clown tho course, coming closer to the cup craft than usual, overhead being n naval dirigible. Shamrock Gets Mllo Lead Tho wind breezed up moie to the northwest ns the lachts made the first turn. Besolute substituted n number 2 jib topsail for her ballooner, while Shamrock clung to her number one un til a mile nway from the mark, when she shlftrd to a smaller soil. After sailing hnlf n mile. Captain Adams, on the American sloop, changed to No. 1 jib topsail and hauled down his jib, sailing under two headsalls. Captain Burton still clung to his baby tonsnll nnd 11b nnd forcstnvsall. At 3 .o'clock the ypchts, had sailed about'turce miles of the second leg, wun Shamrock lending by fully hnlf mile. Both boats were able to lay their course for the second mark, and it seemed as If they would be able to do the same on the third leg. Ynchting experts con ceded that ut this tlmo Shamrock bad n chance to win within the time limit. At 3 :15. with half of tho time limit expired, the. yachts hfld sailed half the corn-so and Shamrock was. lcadlnir bv fully a mile, the reverse of conditions last Saturday. Shamrock was nosing along, picking up catspaws, while iteso lute was rolling about in the doldrums. The raco became cxcltjng nt 3:30, when Shamrock wns ghosting nlong, picking up favorable gusts and nenrlng the second mark with two hours and three-quarters in which to finish the raco. Besolutc, about n mile astern, was just moving. Inshore from the excursion fleet, there seemed no breeze nt all. And like Saturday, it appeared n raco be tween one of tho yachts and the time limit. Yachtsmen aboard the Victoria were high in praise of Captain Burton's work todny and especially by tho suc cess attained with the use of n small forcstaysail a combination unexpected by experts. Sir Thomas becmed in the best of spirits. Besoluto Far Astern Shortly nfter 3 :30 observers nboard n destroyer following the sloops reported Shnmrock 11 mile and a quarter ahead of Ite-olute. At 4 o'clock Shamrock was still two miles from the maiU uud moving very slowly. Besolute wns more than a mile astern. As tho wind had worked well into the. north west it look ed as If it would bo difficult for the yachts to lay tho third leg, and this would make it hard to finish tho race at 0 :15, when tho time limit expired. At 4:05 tho wind shifted to south ward. This put Shamrock well to weather and in a fino plnco to make the mark, whllo Besoluto was to Ice word and only nblo to reach it hard on the port tnck. Shamrock shifted head snils. Shortly after 4 o'clock Sham rock ran into a soft spot nnd lost her speed. Her great sails flapped idly, whllo Besoluto caught a puff of wind anil began to cut down the challenger's lead. At 11 :25 a. m. both yachts arrived at the lightship nnd cast off their tows. At 11 :30 tho regatta conimjttee hoisted the "G" signal flag, postponing the start of the raco. At 11:42 n. m. the coin mltteo hauled down the postponement flag. The committee then set signals for today's triangular course: First, n reach south -southeast; second, n bent west by north, nnd third, a renc.li to the finish northeaBt by north. It was officially announced aboard the Victoria, Sir Thomas Upton's char tered yacht, that Captnln William P. Burton, criticized for his hnudling of Shamrock IV in previous international cup races, would nevertheless bo at the challenger's helm todny. It nlsn was announced that Mrs. "Burtou, originally selected to hold the, watch, would be ahonrd tho green sloop. When Shamrock dropped ier tow, Cnptnln Burton took the wheel, with Mrs. Burton in her usual scat in the companlonway. Interest in Captain Burton Interest in today's rnco clung not only to whether Besolute or Shamrock IV won. but to whether Captain Burton nboard tho Upton eruft would make a showing that would warrant Sir Thomas keeping him in command of tho chal lenger. , , , niiiRfltlRfnrttnn was renorted to nave run high among tho Upton forces nf cr Saturday's contest, which was called off when Bcbolute. although showing her heels to tho British sloop, had been unablo to cross the llnlbh lino within tlii filr.linur time limit. With tho score 1 to 0 in fnor of Shamrock, becauso of, withdrawal of tho Amerian sloop In the fii.st rnco after her mainsail had fallen almost to the deck, tho crew of ltesouuo wcro conn dent today that they would bo nblo to win three out of fivo races nnd keep the cup In this country.

IL ll.. boardVr. , . 1 Z boards decision to n referendum vote I of their membership. Holm Grunnu, president of the Chicago Yardmen's As sociation, announced today." Grunnu said the understanding of his men Is that the award applies to nlj railroad men, without regard to what organization they arc affiliated with. When the nttcntlon of .tudgo Barton wns called to this matter he pointed out thnt the decision specifically named eighteen unions nnd somo 400 roads as tho parties concerned, nnd does not name nny of the new unions formed by the rnll strikers.' "Wo decided," Judge Bartou snld, "thnt wo would hear the claims of 11 organizations which were properly brought before us, but no union whose men were out on strike, nnd therefore violating the terms of the transporta tion net requiring submission of dis putes to the board before striking, could properly come before us." . Grunnu Issued a statement sarins: Tin. TT.iU.w4 CJtt .., ,",, decision is unsatisfactory. H shows discrimination when it entirely ignores the Chicago Yardmen's Assnointlon del egates who wcte present with their de mands nnd vho Tcprescnt more than 300,000 n(cn of the various crafts." Seven Things Considered Seven things were taken Into con sideration In arriving nt tho nwnrd, tho preamble of the bonrd's announce ment says. They were : The scale paid for similar kinds of work In other in dustries; tho relation between wages nnd the cost of living: the hazards of tho employment; training and skill re quired; degree of responsibility; char-, actcr and regularity of the employment, and Inequalities- In increases and treat ment rcsultiug frohi previous wage or ders. "Those persons who consider the rntcs determined on herein too high should reflect on the nbnormal condi tions resulting from the high cost of living and the high rates now being paid in other industry," tnc Donrci said. "The employes who may believe these rates too low should consider the In creased burden these rates will place on their fellow countrymen, manv of whom nre less favorably situated than themselves. Muss of People Must Pay "Tho board has endeavored to fit such wages ns will provide n decent living nnd securo for the children of the wage-earners opportunity for edu cation, nnd yet to romomlrer thnt no class of Americans should receive pre ferred treatment nnd that the great mass of tho people must ultimately pay a great part of the increased cost of operation entailed by the increase In wages determined bcrclc " The decision, Chairman Barton ex plained, was not n unanimous one, some members dissenting on nearly every sec tion. The awards given were by a ma jority vote ou each section, with nt least one. member of the public group voting for'ench award. In addition let the sixteen recognized brotherhoods, which nre mndo party to the decision are the International Asso ciation of Bnilroad Supervisors of Me chanics nnd the American Train Dis patchers' Association. Moro than 400 railroaders are specifically named as nnrties. The decision provides that In enso of n dispute as to tho Interpretation of the decision the question shall, be re ferred to the board for decision. Tho law does not require, however, tliut either side must accept the award. The decision provides that the dally increase shall bo computed as eight times the hourly rate, nnd the monthly increase ns 204 times the hourly sched ule. Neither the roads nor the men arc bound by law to accept the decisions of the board. "The board assumes as the basis of this decision." the nward says, "the continuance in full force nnd effect of the rules, working conditions nnd agree ments in forco under the nuthority of the United States railroad administra tion. The intent of this decision is that the named increase, except as otherwise stated, shall be ndded to the rates of compensation established bv the United States railroad administration.

(By A. P.) Demands for substantial wngo in creases for nearly all classes of the 2, 000,000 railroad employes have been pending since lato last summer. These demnnds, first presented nt 'different times to the railroad ndmlnistrntlon's bonrd on wages nnd working conditions, were unsettled when government opera tion of the railroads was ended, nnd, in turn, referred to thp rnllroad labor board, which was created under the transportation act. Some few of the classes of organized employes have not pressed formal de mands, but have insisted that their wages be increased it advances were granted other related classes of work ers. The principal demands of the lead ing unions follow: Brotherhood of Ballroad Trainmen: Pnsscnger brakemen be Increased from $120 a thirty-day month to $1C0 for a twenty-iiix-day month, baggagemen be increased from $121.80 for a thirty day month to $100 for a twenty-six-day month ; nssistnnt conductors bo in creased from $144 for thirty-day month to $170 for twenty-six-dny month, freight bralfemcn in valley territory be Increased from $4.08 to $5.88 a day, with 10 per cent increase over these rates wherever the grade exceeds 1.8 per cent; yard foremen or conductors be increased from $5.33 to $7.20 a day. yard helpers or brakemen be incrensed from $3 to $0.00 n day, switchtender!. be increased from 51 to $5.1)0 a day, also time nnd one-hnlf for nil Sunday and holidny service nnd n gunranty of twenty-six davs n month for regular employes in .all classes of service.

WAGE RISE MAY MEAN HIGHER FREIGHT RATES The public will have to pay the SfiOO.OOO.OOO wage increase granted 2, 000.000 railroad employes by the rall roud labor board, .according to offi cials of the Pennsylvania Ballroad. It was pointed out nt Broad Street Station this afternoon that under the transportation net of 1020. which re turned the railroads to private owner ship, any increase in expense of this sort is to bo borne by the public. Tho act instructs the Interstate Com mcrco Commission to take into con sideration in fixing rates for freight and pnsscnger transportation increased wnges or incrensed cost of maintenance, nccordlng to the officials. A petition for a 30 per cent Increase in freight rates, presented last May by the rail roads of tho country, Is now pending before tho Interstate Commerce Com mission. Wngo Rlso to Bo Considered It is believed by the officials that the commission will tnko into consideration tho order for $000,000,000 ndditional wages in finally passing on the request for hichcr freight rates the country over. Bnilroad officials consider it quite possiblo thnt tho incrensed expense may bo srread over -passenger rntcs as well ns freight rates. Tho railroads base their demand for 30 per cent, additional tnriff on nn estimate thnt it-will take this much extra revenue to make it possible to earn 0 per ciut. net on in vestment. By virtue of Its total number of em ployes, track mileage and extent of equipment, the Pennsylvania Ballroad will pay out 10 to 12 percent of the SOOO.000,000, or $00,000,000 at least. Tho order will affect at least 00 per cent How Much is a Million? rphe moment you mention a million A dollars to some people, . they are antagonistic They imagine that a million dollars represents a tremen dous part of the national wealth. Instead it represents only one penny for each inhabitant of our country. Swift &. Company lastyearhad an output of 5,500,000,000 pounds. A profit of one cent per pound would have re sulted in $55,000,000. of the employes of the railroad, officials being practically tho only employcM not Included. The men will benefit irre spective of whether they nic members of unions, though the majority of the employes arc said to be union men. "FIro" Order Preceded Ruling The officials reiterated their denial that there wns any connection between the nwnrd mndo nt Chicago nnd the order Issticd by the Pennsylvania Ball road to drop 12,000 men. It wns snld nt Broad street that the decision to Are so many men wns entirety in the in terest of economy and efficiency. The elimination of this number of workers, It wns said, will save the road about $15,000,000 a year. It was denied also thnt the dismissal of these men had anything to do with the "outlaw" strike. That trouble hnd settled Itself, It was said, before the decision was made to drop the 12,000. Many of the strikers had been taken back; others had been refused work becauso they wcro considered undesir able, and still others had never applied for work. The officials fay that many of the men discharged were not elolne their work. nnd took tho attitude thnt they held a government Job nnd could not bo re moved from It. Thero were so many employes in some instances, it was said, that they were in-cach others' wny, 'x nn discharge of surplus workers will not lower the efficiency of the railroad.
