Sharp contention over the powers of the Railroad Labor Board and the pro- visions of the transportation act marked the hearing of employes of the Erie railroad against their emplover before the board yesterday. The petition of the employes charged violation of -the act and of decisions of the labor’ board. Representatives of the road denied both. The case resulted from an order, ef- fective February 1, reducing common labor wages and deducting one day’s pay a week from the salaries of all employes paid on a monthly basis Most of the argument centered about whether a ruling of the board on Feb- ruary 12, ordering the road to make no change in wage rates, was compulsory upon the road, which had already put a reduction into effect. It was conceded by the rail rcpresentatives that the in- tent of the order was to maintain the rates of the wage award of July, 1920 They denied, however, violation of the law in changing those rates. Business depression and revenues below operating expenses were given as the reason for the reduction order. During his testimony R. S. Parsons, general manager for the road, was asked by Henry T. Hunt, public member of the board, whethes”the road's position meant that it would not obey the or- ders of the board “We can't do it” Mr. Parsons re- ilton on a charge of counterfeiting. According to Federal District At- torney Joseph Chitwood, Mrs. Wheel- er that she had raised a number of §5 and $10 federal reserve notes to $50 and $100, and made pur- chases them in this city. Federal officers who searched Mrs. Wheeler's home at Bonsacks, the dis- trict attorney declared, found a set of utensils for changing figures on paper money, togethar with a_spe- cial kind of glue, which the officers asserted was manufactured in the woman's home. A green crayon, the officers added, which also was found, they belicved was used to raise the figures on paper money. When the authoritics _questioned Mrs. Wheeler, they said, she declared she found the counterfeiting uten- 8ils at an evangelical meeting in the city auditorium_ here last fall. The officers added that Mrs. Wheel- er and her husband live at Bonsacks in fairly good circumstances, U. S. DIPLOMATS ABROAD HIT BY EXCHANGE RATE Ackerman Introduces Bill Chang- ing Requirements That State- ments Be Made on Gold Basis. When marks, kroner, lire, f and pounds took, and neld, the domes ward trend in foreign exchange, & situation was created for Amepiean representatives abroad which has been brought to the attention of Congress by Representative Ernest . Ackerman of New Jersey, the most widely traveled member of | the House. This situation grows out of regulations of the State and Treas- ury departments governing the ac- counting of fees collected and dis. | bursements made by the American | ambassadors, ministers and consuls. | Under these rules, the settlement of accounts has long been the financial | bane of their existence. It appears that these rewulations do not recognize the fluctu: ing fore eign exchange market, hut require diplomatic and consular officials to render their accounts on a fixed rate, based on the dollar gold standard. A single example will suffice to show the injustice of this arrangement to the hundredsof American representa. obdizdl SR, S L A sl st AL U L B L AL SRR A s A e RIS ) s e il e e s P st el Wi i Ran e ol Uatsrecien o st Bl U SOOI O ves. The consul at Catania, Italy, betwe October 1, 1919, and March 31, 1930, cor: lected fees in italian paper currency at from 13.40 lire to 2150 lire to the dollar and credited a total of $19,778.51. The auditor of the Treasury demanded that he should account for these collections at the gold rate of 5.18 lire to the dol- lar, the Treasury scheduls being based not on the value of fore , which Is paper, but on the gold content of foreign coins which went out of cir- culation’ with the war. The consul, therefore, on this basis, is debited with collections of $69,438.77, and on this pa- per reckoning finds himself charged with $49,651 more than he actually collected.
