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

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.

was
taken In nt 12:2." and n smaller reach

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

Rise for Rail Men

t'l, , .. I,. ........ 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.

Stocks Little Affected
by R. R. Wage Award
The Bailway Labor Board's
nward of $000,000,000 to tho rail
rond workers had little effect on
tho railroad securities In today's
stock1 market. Tho probable ac
ceptance of the award by union
leaders subject to ratification by tho
men, avoiding the possibility of a
general strike, for tho tlmo being,
brought a moderate advance in some
of the lower-priced shares nnd Bead-

gains were fractional.
No disposition was manifested to

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

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.
No Word to .Men Here
No word had been received nt the
offices of tho brotherhoods In this city
from tliclr leaders in Chicago by mid
afternoon. Harry H. Jcffery, chairman of the
Phlladclphla-Camdcn shopmen's com
mittee, telegraphed from Chicago to his
office In this city of nn increase of
thirteen cents an hour to the gang lead
ers, machinists, sheet metal workers,

The actual . net profit was
$14,000,000 or one-fourth of
what we would have made
had the profit been at the
rate of 1 cent a pound.
An average profit of only a
fraction of a cent per pound
indicates a highly competitive
condition in the industry and
also proves our assertion that
packer profits have practically
no effect on prices.
