BOARD LAW? iieaniclfiosonion District Attorney Lewis So De- clares When Car Heating Case Is Dismissed. Railroad oMcials and their agents can go fight along ignoring orders from the Public Service Commission without fearing criminal prosecution. This is the way Diytrict Attorney Lewis of Brooklyn to-day interpreted the action of the Brooklyn Court of Special Sessions in dismissing the complaints against four officials of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company who have been on trial in that court charged with violating a Public Service Commission order to heat the cars. The four men absolved of respon- aibility by the court for failure to en- force the order are Col. Timothy 8. Williams, President of the company; Slaughter W. Hoff, Vice President; William Siebert, superintendent of surface transportation, and Charles B. Roehl, electrical engineer, They were arrested as a result of The Evening World's crusade for better heated cars. Justice Edwards handed down the decision in the case, Justice Salmon concurring and Justice O'Keefe not voting. Following the decision the attor- neys for the company wanted to 60 ahead with other cases involving the me charges against officials of the company. District Attorney Lewls said he was not ready to proceed at this time. Beyond stating he was far from through with the cases, Mr Lewis would not say what course lie | intends pursuing. There were rumors that he will ask the Grand Jury to consider the cases, | “In my opinion,” said the District Attorney, “having In mind the ex- ss | of the Public Service Commission jaw, requiring all ratl- road officers and their agents to leomply with orders of the commis- sion and making failure to comply @ criminal offense, the decision of the court in this case nullifies those pro- visions so that officers and agents of railroad companies are immune from prosecution for violation of any or- e There are two decisions tn this », one by a judge and jury hold- Dempsey criminally lable an order of the com- sion which dif.

The committee really expects ® atrike and has been preparing for t for six months. Labor leaders generally are of the opinion that the conference set for Thursday will be a stormy one, but that it will not result in a strike. They say the roads don’t want a strike any more than the men. Labor jeaders confidently point out that the Big Four Brotherhoods are pledged, through their leaders—the pledge was made yosterday—to support the Gov- in the present crisis with Germany to the limit, It is understood the Brotherhood chiefs have a new solution of the problem that they will lay before the railroad officials as a test of their earnestness and patriotism. OUTLINE OF PROGRAMME LIKE- LY TO BE FOLLOWED. It is understood that if negotiations on Thureday fall, this will be the programme of the brotherhoods: Next Saturday at 6 P. M.—Call out all trainmen in freight service on the New York Central, Baltimore and Ohio, Erie, Atlantic Coast Line, Southern Railway, Louisville and Nashville, and Seaboard Air Line. Such an order would put on strike 40,000 men and would involve all subsidiary lines of the companies named, Monda: P. M.—Call out all freight service trainmen on the Lehigh Valley, Lapkawania, Jersey Central, Pennsyl- vania, Long Island, Maine Central, Delaware and Hudson, Reading, and all the other roads In the southeastern territory or extending to New York. Tuesday, 6 P. M.—Call out all the freight trainmen on the northwestern group, including the Hill roads and all those centring at Chicago. ‘Wednesday, 6 P. M—Extend the strike to all the other freight trainmen and call out the passenger trainmen on every road in the country, The brotherhoods, it is said, had all preparations made on March 6 to strike in case the Supreme Court de- cision on the Adamson law, expect- ed that day, had upset tho law. Former United States Attorney Gen- eral G. W. Wickersham said to- day, when asked if a strike would be in contempt of court, that he did not believe so, as the suits pending were brought by others than the brotherhoods. The Managers Committee has been called to meet in New York to-mor- row to prepare for the clash with the labor chiets on Thursday. Inquiry among employment agen- cies brought out that for some time the railways have been combing the country in-an effort to find men and place them on reserve, The number of men fitted for duty in case of a strike Is very small, it is sald. There were indications to-day that Mayor Mitchel's Home Defense Com- mittee would be called into session to consider plans for feeding the city in the event of a freight tleup.
