Attempt to Bring Out Dis- sension Among Executives on Agreements Fails. - By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 19.—Attempting to bring out alleged dissension in the ranks of railway executives over the question of national agreements, labor counsel put two high oficials through a grilling examination before the Railroad Labor Board today.

Carl R. Gray of Omaha, Neb., presi- dent of the Union, Pacific system, was on the stand the entire afternoon, and, under questioning by Mr. Walsh, de- tailed his activities as chairman of the andoned labor committee of the ation of Railway Executives. It in this committee, the unions con- tended, that a split developed, and for two days they have been digging into the association records in an effort to show that all the railroads did not favor abrogation of the national agreements. Majority Report Rejected. Mr. Gray explained the basis of his majority report on the subject of estab- lishing national boards of adjustment. This report was rejected by the mem- ber roads, it was brought out, and a v report of W. W.

"The imajority report, Mr. Gray said, was presented with the idea that agree- g to national boards, which were | urged by the employes, was the easiest way ettle disputes. i “chan asked Mr. Gray to tell thought about national he agreements. “My feeling is that it is practically impossible to devise rules which oper- ate justly and reasonably over the what whole country,” said Mr. Gray. “I reached this conclusion on my expe- rience as an operating official in many parts of the country and as director of operations under the director gen- eral of railroads. I have had rules before me which seemed reasonable, vet technical application produced ex- |raord|nlrfly unusual and unfair re- sults.” Denies Disagreement. Mr. Sheehan asked if there had ever been any disagreement on the contin- u.n(on of nauonal agreements by the es. Cver." Mr, Gray replied. Mr. Shechan then referred to the Ielevon fundamental principles laid down’ as labor's “bill of rights” by union officials yesterday. “Could any road operate with effi- clency with all these rules in effect?” M. Sheehan asked. “Certain of these rules are very re- strictive,” Mr. Gray said. “It is al- {most impossible to set up any set of |= rules which will do justice to all” Earlier in the day T. De Witt Cuy- ler, chairman of the executives' as- sociation, was on the stand and main- tained throughout his testimony that |= he had had no part in the formation = or adoption of any labor policy. —_—— U.S. DROPS INDICTMENT AGANST SUGAR DEALERS "| Action Conforms o' Conrt Ralings |=5 Nullifying Lever Act.

OF THE SECRET SERVICE Attorney General Urges Consolida- tion of Government Intelligence Agencies to Avoid Duplication. Consolidation of all of the intelli- rence or secret service activities of the government is being urged by Attorney _General Daugherty as a part of the general scheme of reor- ganization aml reclassification of the government departments, Practically every department of the govérnment has its intelligence serv- ice to merve its particular purpose, and it happens many times that there is great duplication of effort, due to the fact that the several intelligence branches are working on case at the same time. This the new Attorney Generul is desirous of avoid- ing. In the ml of Justice alons there separate branches, one dolnt t.h- m of the department and the other under the alien property custodian, who also comes under the justice branch. Attorney General Daugherty ssys he has been giving much considera- tion to such a conselidation, begin- ning from the time when he knew he was coming to Washington to be- come a member of President Hard- ing’s cabinet. He added that if such a scheme could be worked out, he thought it would be most effective, but that he realized that it was a big task, and probably would bring out a great many interdepartmental jealousies.
