That It the purport of the decision or. Its face. According, however, te authorities here, It Is an empty victory for the Laber Beard, and if the I'ennsjlvania Railroad desires te continue te iininrc the Laber Heard's decision, as it has done in the past, it can de se. because under the law the beard has no power te enforce any decision thnt it mnv make against the Pennsylvania or any ether railroad. If this view is correct, the t.itua ue of the railroad's position with it em em peoyes Is net disturbed bj the court's decision The Laber Heard vesterdav niihllslmil . another decision, exactly parallel te that of the Pennsylvania, and of equal in tercBi.

Reading Case Similar As the cases are se similar, nnd bear directly upon the same subject, there Is Riven herewith the elHclal account of the Reading's contrevcrsj with Its men, which parallels the Pennsylvania's case na It was erlgluall decided by the Laber Heard, and the beard's decision : "Dispute has been tiled with the La La eor Beard wherein it is claimed by the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Empleyes and Railway Shep La borers thnt they icprescnt a majority of the nmpleycs in the maintenance of way department of the Philadelphia and Reading Railway Company and should, therefore, be permitted te negotiate en agreement with the management affect ing this class of cmplejes. The man agement takes the position that the or ganization has at no time furnished It with bennlide authorization indicating that they leprc-cn'ed n majority of the maintenance of way empleyes and have accordingly declined te negotiate an agreement with them. "The evidence shows thnt after con ference with representatives ,f the maintenance of way organization, at which conference, it Is nllvgcd by the management, said organizations failed te submit authorization from a majority of the empleyes involved, the manage ment circulated a ballet among its maintenance of way empleyes, which ballet did net specify the name of any labor organization whose b.vlnws or constitution establishes the fact that the organization was established for the purpose of performing the functions of a labor organization, but made prevision for the selection of representatives ir respective of organization aflill.itien. As a result of this ballet certain repiesen tatlves were selected who. In conference with the management, negotiated rules and working conditions under which the maintenance of way empleyes nre new working. Anether Rallnt Ordered "The emplejes parties te this dis pute, have taken exception te the method pursued by the management in taking tlie ballet referred te, and re quest that the Laber Heard authorize the taking of another ballet, and that the organization be permitted te par ticipate In the formulation, distribution and counting of said ballets, and that the name of the organization be shown thereon. "Decision The Laber Heard decides that nnether ballet shall he taken.

Held for Impersonating 8aller Peter Knllis, of Baltimore, was held In $1000 ball for court today by United Stntes Commissioner Manley. charged with impersonating an enlisted man of the United States Navy. Knl lis was brought from League Island, where he had been held n prisoner by the naval authorities, though he is net In the navy, for eighteen dnys. It was testified that he was wearing a sailor's uniform when arrested by Federal MICHIGAN MINERS THOUGHT HE WAS FREED "Nick" Ellis, sentenced te eighteen months In the Heuse of Correction for unlawful possession of drugs, then pn pn reled by Judge Harnett nfter he had served two, Is In jail nguln for viola tion of his parole. "Nick the Barber," ns he Is known in the Tenderloin, lind been following his calling In n barber shop en North Ninth street. He was arrested Inte vrsterdny nnd tednv taken by Captain Van Hern te City Hnll. where be was turned ever for commitment te Chief Probation Officer Hackney. , Ellis was nrrested en n bench war rant Issued by Judge Mennghnn nt Mr. Hackney's request. As the nrrest wns made en a bench warrant, "Nick" will net be given n hearing by n magistrate, but taken into court direct. When nrrested "Nick" declared he was net n 'hall lumper," nnd that he had net knowingly violated his pnrele. However, the records show that lie wns Indicted twice, once In the Federal Courts and once In the County Courts, for violations of the drug Inws. He contends he wns net pnreled but dis charged. Did Net Repert, Hackney Says "I hnd Ellis brought In." snld Mr. Hackney, "because he had net re ported te this office nt regulnr Inter vals, ns Is required of prisoners who arc given their liberty under the parole net. I shnll commit him, nnd consult Asslstnnt District Attorney Mnurer about the ense. "I shall suggest thnt Judge Bnrnett, who sentenced nnd later paroled Ellis, come here and Inquire Inte the pnrele, if Mr. Mnurer approves this course. At all events, Ellis will be taken before the court, nnd will be given nn oppor tunity of explaining. If his ntterney told him thnt he wiu free nnd need net report te this office thnt will be taken Inte consideration." Director Wnrburtnn. of the Depart ment of Welfnre, under whose super vision the Heuse of Correction comes, denied emphatically today that Ellis was n parole violator. "That story Is made out of the whole cloth," snid Mr. Wnrburten. "The record shows thnt Ellis was net paroled, but discharged. He wns net obliged, therefore, te report.

In the records of the Court of Quarter Sessions there is a decree signed by Judge Harnett which says thnt "after due inquiry," It is "there fore ordered und decreed that the de fendant. Nicholas Ellis, .be discharged en parele for the remainder of his sen tence, in accordance witli.tlie previsions of the Act of Assembly," etc. Ellis remained in jnil n few nays mere than two months. Under the law Ids sentence could have been reconsid ered nnd his dlschnrge from custody without parole granted by Judge Bar- l nett if the Judge had called tne case up at the same term of ceutt. An it was two months later, however, n parole was the only thing thnt could be granted legally. Judge Mennghnn nt least was under the impression that a pnrele hed been granted when he Issued a bench wnriant yesterday. "Nick." when rearrested, admitted thnt he hnd been Indicted twice since the dnte of his parole. He said that "Sam" Meleney, sent te the Heuse of Correction trf serve n term Imposed en him for his share In the notorious Fifth Wav,d election scnndnl. hail helped him get his nnrele. "Nick the Barber" used te shave "Sam" nt the "Correc tion," nnd Maleney premised te get his friend, J. flurrwoed Daly, an assistant District Attorney, te seek his release. "Nick" declared he was surprised one day te learn thnt his release had been ordered and thnt Mr. Dnly hnd come te him and said: "Here Is jour dis charge; you're free." Worked as Barber "Nick" said he went te Ohie te work for a brother who helped get his parole nnd premised te leek nfter him : found work slnck and returned te Philadelphia and worked ns a bar ber. He was arrested in Jnnunry, he said, held in $2000 ball which later was reduced te $WV0; and while nvvnlting trial was picked up again by mem bers of the vice squad. Beth times he was charged with drug vinlotiens. Tim second nrrest, he said, wns n "frame." He was Indicted n second time nnd held in $000 bnll for court. Ne dnte has been fixed for this trlnl. "Nick" declnred he had gene te Brooklyn te see his sister who wns ill, with the consent of his counsel, when nvvniting trial In the May term. His case came up, he says, and n IjewIi wnirant was issued for 1ilm nfter his lnwjer hnd tried In vain for a continuance. He says he returned Immediately and "Beb" Belger, Assist ant United States Attorney, agreed te let the case go ever te Septemlier, nnd, therefore, the warrant wns net served. "When my cases ure called, I ulll be there." snld "Nick." 6 MOS.

On behalf of President Hard ing lie accepted the designation of arbitrator given the Chief Executive in the arbitration protocol, and thanked the delegates of both sides for the spirit in which they approached the tasks of the conference. "I believe this te be the dawn of n new day in hntin America," said Secretary Hughes. "This- long-standing controversy has 'been n sere pet and this nmicablu adjustment is the healing which gives premise of the de velopment of better relations through out Latin America and of the promo tion of the growth of sound opinion. It Is a vindication of the processes of peace. "It is easy te talk of the prevention of war, but inevitably there will be differences nnd serious controversies, and if these nre net te be settled by force, there must be pcueeful solu tions which can be hnd only through tlie efforts of governments which de terminedly seek pence and mnka it possible by providing for the contacts of honorable and reasonable men whose ability, ingenuity and wisdom will be utilised net te devise grounds for con tinuing differences but prncticul bases of agreement."
