Both boats ll.l(! laz- ed clong in, a vagrant breeze, Sham- rock steadily drawing aw from her giistening wkile pursuer, until thej challcnger came within about twoj miles of the second mark. There she caught a freshening northwester and} spurted up, breaking out her balloon jib topsail and spinnaker as she rourded the stake, for a wing and wing run home before the breeze. Resolute was still floundering along fn a near calm, more than a mile from the stake. Suddenly the breeze struck her and the trim craft heelm!lI pver until her deck were u“’ash,' farted forward in pursuit. She s_eerx_led i tairly to leap through the sea, flinging the white spray high as she tore along. She gained the mark in in- sredibly short time and swinging close o the buoy broke out her ballooner and strained forward lik)e a thorough- n the home stretch. br:Kdutoa tricky breeze which had ap- peared to favor Shamrock from the start, had given the challenger too great a lead to be overcome and she swept across the finish line at Ambrose Channel lightship nine minutes a}\d 37 seconds ahead of Resolute—a vic- ‘ory by two minutes and 26 seconds \fter the handicap, imposed because of ser greater sail area, had been deduct- ad.

No Actual Test Yet. Although Shamrock won today, Res slates supporters insisted that. fickle breezes had given victory to the chal- lenger. Neither boat, they averred, h: had an actual test of her sailing capa- ties in the present series. Sham- rock IV today—so argued the “pro- Resolutes”—not only got most of the puffs of wind while Resolute was drift- ing virtually becalmed, but had the wind shift so that Resolute’s favorite windward leg was entirely eeliminated from the race. Shamrock IV’'s strong forte is said to be in running before the ind and on the reaches i The crowd that witnessed today's encounter was the smallest that had turned out for any of the three meets.

The sommittee stated that there would be no change in the zrrangegnents and that the time allowance ls'expected to remain the same as today’s. Gentle Winds Forecast for Today. Gentle shifting winds, mostly south- erly, with fair weather, was the weather bureau's forecast for the LOmorrow. "'f'g: l;::i“‘z committee at noon today hesitated fifteen minutes and then de- sided that the westerly breeze would hold and hoisted signals for a reach south- sontheast, a beat about west, and another reach northeast by morth. Fight For Positien Dull The fight for position was rather dull as Skipper Adams made no effort to gain the lead and allowed Slmmrock to cross as she pleased 38 seconds ahead, which extended Resolute’s time with her time allowance at the finish to 7 minutes and 39 seconds. It looked like a very liberal margin for the defender, but it was found to be too small to give her the race. The first fifteen minutes were featured by bungling sail-handling on Shamrock. The balloon jib refused to break out and finally when yanked, it fouled atound the stay. Then a spinnaker was tried and found set . Two or three other head sails were Set and taken in. During these experiments Resolute walked right into the lead and it looked like a repeti- of Saturday's contest, fi'fin‘ settled down' on a Mamber 1 i tansail sef on & stav from led the end of the bowsprit to ten feet below the cross trees. There was a big space between the two sails and as Resolute was streaking it along under ballooner only, the defender drew out until she was more than half a mile ahead. Wind Beeame Fickle. Then the wind became fickle. Sham- rock, which had worked out to windward, found the edze'of the breeze just as Res- olute did when she gained a lead last Saturday. Nursing the draft of air carefully, Bur- ton ran by Resolute so fast that it look- ed as if the defender had dropped her anchor. In fifteen minutes the chal- lenger was half a mile to the good, due apparently to the noble work of the fisherman’s topsail, just above the fore deck. Resolute Could Not Find Breeze. This practically settled the race. Res- olute could mnot find the breeze, and al- though Captain Adams handled her won- derfully well, the drafts of air shunned her almost completely. Shamrock turn- the first mark three minutes and a half in the lead and at once picked up a nice breeze which gave her more margin over the defender. In fact, halfway on the second leg, which through a canting of the wind proved a feteh for more than half the way, Shamrock at one time had a lead of a mile and a half. Fortune Favored Shamroek. Four miles from ‘the second mark, for- tune again favored the Ulster craft. The wind. dre southwest. This gave both boats a’close fetch on the port tack for the mark. Shamrock naturally picked it up at first and pulled still’further ahead, her lead at the turn being over nine minutes. Although it looked like - Shamrock's race with only ten miles to slide down to the finish, Resolute had a seeming ad- vantage of bringing up a better breeze. However, the breeze softened astern in- stead of freshening, and although Reso- lute tacked to leeward under ballooner, Shamrock' under spinnaker and balloon jib, sailing a straight course gained nearly a minute in the run. Race Again Tomorrow. The yachts will race again tomorrow over a thirty-mile windward*and leeward gourse. If Shamrock wins, the cup de- parts for home. _ Summary. Yacht. Finish.

The fenator's role consisted of a great deal of handshaking and a short talk in which he paid tribute to the war work of the fraternity. “I'm very proud to be an EIkK” said Senator Harding, “and I feel that the Elks of the WUnited States have made a mecord ‘for patriotism and service that will remain imperishable as long as the memory of the great war endures.” Politics was not touched in the ‘alk nor did the candidate make any further public statement during the day in his league of nations fight.

New York, July 20.—The coal shortage in New England and other sections of the east can' be relieved only by government restriction of exports, James J. Storrow, fuel administrator for Massachusetts, told the special senate committee on recon- struction, and production at the opening of the hearing here today. “A reasonable” restriction on exports, Mr. Storrow declared, would tend to bring coal prices back to normal and put a stop to, profiteering. Methods similar to those followed by the British government, which “puts the protection of its own peo- ple above the interest of the exporter,” he said, would promptly relieve the seri- ous situafion in New England, New York and other eastern states. The situation in the east, he said, be- came serious following the railroad strike in April, when, after the removal of 5o, ernment control, exports from tidewater increased about 100 ner cent. The large exports, he noir g1 out, are taking away | New England's coal from Hampton Roads and New England buyers are foreed into Pennsylvania. fields in competition with | New York, New Jersey and other eastern states, thereby causing a shortage in the New England states. The order of the interstate commerce commission, restricting the usé of open top car equipment for coal transportation, did not help New England, he asserted, as no increase in car supnly is necessary there. The commission, Mr. Storrow de- clared, should have put into effect an or- der restricting exports before issuing the open top order. “Excessive and unrestricted” exports of coal caused a “skyrocketing” of prices, he told the committee. During the war the price was fixed at about $3 a ton and 15 cents a ton was considered a fair nor- mal profit, he said. “Probably 80 ner cent. of the output of the eastern fields is being sold on con- tracts, most of them nrobably at $4.50 or less,” he said. “The price of snot coal is now from $11 to $14 a ton. Coal sold recently at $23 in Boston harbor. This means that profits have increased on a basis say of §11.50 a ton, from 25 cents to $7 a ton, or an increase .in profit of 2,800 per cent. This means that coal op- erators are taking excessive profits from an people at the rate of at| least $350,000,000 a year, assuming that only 20 per cent. of their output is being sold in the spot market.” Many customers who fully covered their year's requirements at normal prices of $4 or $4%0, he said, are unable now to get coal shipped on their contracts, but find themselves able to obtain plenty of coal by paying $11 or $12 at the mines. This means, Mr. Storrow asserted, that thousands of cars of coal’are being held in terminals and on sidings for reconsign- ment by speculators, The condition is so serious, he said, that a railroad official recently brouzh’ e the attention of the interstate comme ce commission and stat- ed the practice ought to be discontinued in order to increase car supply. The committee will continue its hear- ing tomorrow. G. F. McGee, state fuel administrator of Minnesota, is expected-to testify to conditions in the northwest. Replying to a question of Senator Cal- der, Mr. Storrow testified that while American concerns are paying high prices for coal, foreign concerns are advertising millions of tons of American coal for sale and immediate' delivery abroad. He read an’ advertisement from an Italian news- paper in support of his statement. He said he had heard also that the Egyptian state railways are being operated with American coal. The interstate commerce commission order, which was exnected to cut off ex- ports and give New England priority on shipments, Mr. Storrow declared, had been found worthless. “As far as 1 know it hasnt cut off exports a single carload,’ he said. The words of the order “New Fngland points shall be given a priority and pref- erence in the supnly of cars,” Mr. Stor- row testified, have been found in practice to “mean nothing.” BROTHERHOOD OFFICIALS NOT SATISFIED WITH AWARD Chicago, July 20—(By The A. P.) Whether the specter of a nationwide railway strike has been laid by the $600,- 000,000 wage increase granted today to more than 1,800,000 railroad employes tonight remained undecided. Brotherhood officials, after all-day con- ferences, made no attempt to conceal their disappointment that they did not get all of the billion dollar increase they asked. The belief grew, however, in the absence of any talk of an immediate strike, that the union officials would sub- mit the award, probably without recom- mendation, to 2 referendum of the men. A decision on this point was promised to- morrow by W. G. Lee, of Cleveland, the grand president of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. Railroad representatives accepted the award philosophically and immediately set about plans for passing the $600,000,- 000 addition to their wage budget along to the ultimate consumer—in . this case the man’ who pays the freight. Armed with reliable advance knowledge as to what the award would provide, the rail- roads had their figures ready. Judge R. M. Barton chairman of the United States Railway Labor Board, had hardly handed down his decision when E. T. ‘Whiter, representing the more than 400 railroads involved, announced that the roads would need an increase of 18 per cent. in freight rates to meet the wage boost. The interstate commerce commis- sion will be asked to spread the increase over both freicht and passenger rates. The $600,000,000 award represents a 21 per cent. increase in the pay of the railroad men. For the first time in his- tory the roads’ payrolls this year will pass the three billion dollar mark. Mr. ‘Whiter estimated the 1920 payrolls at $3,344,000,000, more than double the $1,- 468,576,394 paid in 1916. FORMER GERMAN EMPRESS IGNORANT OF SON'S DEATH Doorn, Holland, July 20.—(By The A. P.)

Chicago. July 20.—(By The ‘A. P.)— The United States Railway Labor Boara today awarded the nearly 2,000.000 or- Fanized railwav workers wage increases totalling §600,000,000, The increase amounts'to approximately 21 per cent. of the present rates of pay. . “The hoard assumes as the basis of this decision,” the award says. “the con- tinuance in full force and effect of the rules. workinz conditions and agreements in force under the authority of the Unit- ed States Railroad Administration. “The intent of this decision is that the named increase, except as otherwise stated, shall be added to the rates of compensation established by the United States Railway Administration.” Railroad officials have declaréd that; any pay increase awarded the men must| be followed b a corresponding increase in rates, and they olan, it is said, to file new tariffs with the Interstate Commerce'| Commissioner as soon as they can be pre- pared. Whether the award as given will stave off the threat of a general railroad strike} remains to be seen. The leaders of -prac- ticcally every one of the sixteen big railroad unions were presént this morn- ing when Judge R. M. Barton handed down the decision. They left immediately to present the award to 1,000 general chairmen who had gathered here to pass on -its acceptibility. The union presidents refused to make any comment before the meeting. _The approximate ‘terms of the decision®had been known to them yesterday and they believed then their men would stay in line, at least until a referendum vote can be taken. Nearly a month will be needed for the referendum, The board’s decision is retroactive to May 1. As the maximum increase grant- ed any class was 15 cents an hour, or $30.60 per month, the higzest back pay check due when the settlement is made August 1 will be $91.80. " The board pro- vides that the back pay checks shall be made out separately, so that each man Will know the amount he receives from that eoures, Seven things were taken into con- sideration in arrivinz at the award. the preamble of the board's announcement savs. They were: The scale paid for similar kinds of work in other indus- tries, the relation between wazes and the cost of living, the hazards of the em- ployment, training and skill required, de- gree of: responsibility, character and ree- ularity of the employment, and inequali- ties in increases and treatment resulting from previous, wage orders. Decision Not Unanimous. “Those persons who consider the rates determined on herein too high should r~ flect on the abnormal conditions re- sulting. from the -higher cost of living and the hizh rates now heing paid in other industry.” the board said. “The employés’ Who ‘mav- have these rates too low sheuld consider -tha. in- oreased burden these rates will place on their fellow countrymen, many of whom are less favorably situated than them- selves, % The board has endeavored to fix snch wazes as will provida a decent living and secure for the children of the wage earners opmortunity for edueation. and vet to remember that no class of Amer- { icans should receive preferred treat- ment and that the great mass of the people ultimately pay a sreat part of the increased eost of operation entalled by the increase in wages determined herain.” The decision. Chairman Barton ex. plained wns not a unanimous one. some members dissenting on nearly every sec- tion. The awards siven were by a ma- jority vote on each section with at lenst one member of the public group- voting for each award Demands of the railroad men who struck last Anril and formed new unions are igmored hy the board. No reference is made to the strikers or their demands. The hoard had refused to hear renre- sentatives of the new unions, holding. ith the old brotherhoods. that the mren wera already represented by the officials of the recornized nnions. In addition to the sixteen recoenized brotherhoods. two other uniors, the In- ternational Associatlon of Railroad Su- narvisors of Mechanics and the American Train Despatchers’ Association. are mada a party to the derision. More than 00 realroads are specifically named as par- | tes. The decision provides that in case of | a dispute as to the Internratation of the | decision the auestion shall be referred! to the hoard for decision. The law does not require, however, that either side| must accept the award. The decision provides that the daily increase shall be comnuted as eight times the hourly rate, and tHe monthly in- crease as 204 times the hourly sched- ule. PROHIBITION OFFICERS SEIZE TWO AUTOS AT GREENWICH Bridgeport, Conn. July 20.—Five men, in two automobiles seized by federal| prohibition enforcement officers at Green- | wich, early today, were held for a hear- ing before the United States commission- er here later on, today.
