PAGE SIX COLBY REFUSES SENATE REQUEST FOR AGREEMENT Impossible for State Department to Give Out Details of Negotiations With Japs at This Time, Is Claim (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-—Secretary Colby refused today to transmit to the senate foreign relations committee infor- mation regarding negotiations with Japan looking to the frarning of a new treaty to meet the ituation created by the adoption of the California anti-alien law. Replying to a letter from Chairman Lodge asking for the report of Ambassador Morris on ‘his negotiations with Baron Shidehara, the Japanese ambassador, said there was considerable misundersfanding as to the exact status of the matters under discussion, and at this time it was impossible for the state depart- ment to submit the documents asked for. Senator Lodge arranged to advise fenator Johnson, Republican, Call- fornia, of Mr. Colby’s reply, as it was at the Instance of the California se: ator that the committee request was made. Mr. Colby‘s letter to Senator Lodge follows: “I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yester- day’s date requesting, if not incom- patible with the public interest, that I furnish the committee with a copy of the agreement reached by the Japanese ambassador and Mr. Mevris. “Permit me to say that this request indicates a misapprehension of the status of the pourparlers which have been going on for some time past with a view to reaching a friendly un- derstanding as to the scope and terms of a conventional agreement yet to be negotiated by the plenipotentaries of Japan and the United States, when they shall have been duly empowered to that end. While I think I am war- ranted in saying that substantial Progress has been made toward an ultimate agreement, there is no agreed text of which a copy cotiId be com- municated to the committee in ad- ‘vance of the regular submission of whatever convention may be ultimate- ly signed.” BOARD REFUSES RAIL REQUEST (Continued from Page 1) agreement rules and working condi- tions from wages. The decision on wages was rendered last July, Judge Barton said, and the rules hearing convened on January 10. “If any of these rules and working conditions are unjust and unreasonable,” said the decision, “they constitute an un- warranted burden upon the railroads and upon the public. It is therefore, the duty of this board to use the ut- ™most practicable expedition consistent with the necessary time for hearing and consideration, in determining whether any of the rules and work- ing conditions now in effect are un- reasonable. The board is endeavor- ing to perform its obligation and will be better ablg to succeed in doing so if it is not further interrupted by the introduction of unwarranted demands by either party.” (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Feb. 10—Conspiracy on the part of American railroad exec- utives and financiers to destroy the organizations of railroad workera and re-establish autocratic financial con trol of the’ transportation industry, was charged here today by B. M. Jewell, president of the Railway Em- ployes Department of the American Federation of Labor, who appeared before the United States Railroad board. Mr. Jewell also charged the rail Son, You're Looking Fine The Most Glorious Sensation of All Is to Get Back Into the Game.

At- terbury, chairman of the labor com- mitte of the American Association of Railway Executives, attempted to “falsely convince the public that high rates due to financial irregularities and inefficiencies of railroad manage- ment" are attributable to the unions of railroad workers, “and to obtain a weapon from which to exact from the government full payment of the ex- orbitant claims which the railroads are making, and to coerce and threat- en the railroad workers by the spec- tre of unemployment and reduced wages.” Mr. Jewell charged that Mr, Atter- bury was, the spokesman of a power- ful financial combination seeking to re-establish “this autocratic, control from which the war has freed us and which was especially exemplified by conditions on the Pennsylvania rail- road.” “Mr. Atterbury,” he added, “repre- sents a conspiracy attempting to cast discredit upon the government in its administration of the railroads and to destroy the legitimate organiza- tions of the railroad emp'oyes.” “Mr. Atterbury undoubtedly knows that the present plight of the roads is not due to the inefficiency of the employes. He knows that it in not due to mistreatment accorded to roads under federal control. One sig- nificant thing he said in the course of his ultimatum ‘you cannot make retroactive tomorrow the eavings that should have been made today.’ This should be a bitter pill to many a small investor in railway securitics, who has lost savings through the squand- ering of railroad wealth for which the financiers are responsibie. And now Mr. Atterbury discloses tho de- termination of the conspiracy to make a raid upon the pockets of the rail- road employes, whose annual earn- ings still average leas than the'recog- nized standard of a living wage. By this raid he says he can secure $300,- 000,000. . Other raids will follow, ac- cording to his own statement, al- though a three month's truce must be declared. “This coi “ adied Mr. Jew- dominated by the huge economic pow- er of an absentee fipancial vombina- tion, which had up to this period practically the control of the working and living conditions of millions of Wage earners and their families.” The raflroad union chief demanded that the board re-call Mr. Atterbury and require him to furnish “a full list of the raflroads the point of view of which he expressed.” Jewell said that this action would exonerate the “numerous rail- way executives” who would repudiate Mr. Atterbury’s views. “We hardly need point out to you, Mr. Chairman,” he said, “that the railroads having used your wage de- cision as a lever to obtain the high- est freight and: passenger rates ever accorded, now are anxious to be rid of the protection which this board af- fords to the employes of the rail- roads. They know that the quickest { ‘way to atcomplish this purpose will be to cause the board to stultify and destroy itself by a decision such as that asked by Mr. Atterbury. “To request the re-establishment of 1917 conditions of employment on railroads is to deny to railroad em- ployes recognition for invaluable ser- vice, and ts as unjust as it would be to suggest that no regard be had for the millions of valiant defenders of liberty who made the supreme sacri- fice. (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—The United States railroad labor board has de- cided, it became known today, that it was the duty of the Boston and Maine Railroad to confer with the committees of the American Federa- tion of Railroad Workers in the mat- ter of grievances of members of that organization. Representatives of the employes said that the decision upheld the right of independent organizations of rail- way workers to present their griev- ances to officials of the roads.
